Me realizes Ronnie is In se rious 'danger. ' RONNIE GETS A SHOCK " CHAPTER XXIX Ronica Bailey was 'noted for, collecting Interesting personal!' ties around her and for show ing scant patience with bores. Hence there Was nothing un usual In her ready agreement to take Lona Montoya on the air Jaunt into Mexico, although she was surprised that Andre asked It- "Lona has never flown down," Andre explained, lightly, "and she Itnows 'the country. Besides, Ronnie, she can serve as a sort of of chaperon, which we have n't had heretofore. Don't you see?" Ronnie was truly grateful then. "Of course, Andre. I am entirely too careless about such things. But 1 don't mean to be. 1 think most conventions are important, really. I'll be happy to have Ima. and mv nlane cabin s plentv large for three of us .indlWhen her head cleared a few morc .

It's a fine souvenir.'"1' nothing of flying-but he Wherefore the three vounir ! handled this ship with obvious neonle took oft in the early aft- nrrinnn with considerable pliietv. Weather Was perfect for flying as It usually is tn New Mexico and the time to Guaymas was only a matter of three hours or so. Departing In early after noon had been Lona's Idea, urg ed upon Andre In private. - Being a conscientious pilot, concerned always for good flying and maximum safety, Ronnie sat alone up front from the moment they left the ground. She had told her two guests to relax and have a good time; she would talk to them but little. There were a few early bumps, Ihen the monoplane settled down lo dutiful, smooth sailing. Ronnie held fairly low the better to en joy the semi-desert landscape. She caught one glimpse of Rain bow canyon and quite Involun tarily turned for a quick look ut Lona, remembering. Now there Is something, Tton- lile reflected, that must yet be worked out. Lona Montoya is a mystery girl! It helped make her interesting, hence made her doubly welcome company for Ronnie on this Mexico trip. Ronnie smiled a hit to herself. Maybe, given some kind of break, she could make Lona tell her se cret. Bonnie felt that if - but all tit once her reveries broke clown. "Look!" Lona Montoya almost shrieked that. "Look, Andre!" Ronnie turned. She saw Lona nnri AnH.-o l,..-l.m .,t ,. ...In. flow, and Lona's face had an ex pression she had never seen he- fore. The bright beauty of It, the open Mexican friendliness, had vanished and In Its stead was an expression of auger that seemed , almrtst fierce. The change In the Kir! was so quick and so com plete as to he startling, and even Andre's face showed grave alarm. Ronnie glanced out, too. "It's only the government auto giro!" she shouted back to her guests, slowing her own speed to coast so they could hear. "It's only the border patrol plane. See. they're waving. They're friends, and anyway -" Lona and Andre ignored her. Lona had grabbed his arm In fury. "I told you!" she snapped al Andre, Hps tight and pale. "It's a trap! A clelllierate " He glared back. "Kill you your self agreed they wouldn't be out now, Lona! You said they patrol the international line only In mornings. That's why you want ed to leave after noon!" "Ohh-hh!" Lona was half standing .and she shook Andre In an obvious little fit of frenzy ' Roseburg where he responded to fear. "1 ought to have- !" ' .treatment and rested well during "What is wrong?" Ronica cull- the night, further observation cd. loudly. j later proved the accident not as "Shut up, and fly Ihls thing bad as al first feared and the pa fast!" Lona snapped. "If voir (lent Is getting along nicely sc dun t, you'll " j "Hs-sss!" Andre tried frantic ally to quiet the girl, but plainly Lona was in an panic now. "They're signaling me to turn back," Ronica called. "I don't Know xenat s the matter but - s:i clown, kids, and don't be afraid It's nothing endangering us, J in ! sun-.

Andre's Apache Indian drum the souvenir he had bought to take to a friend In Guaymas. It had been carefully packed in thick padding and tied with ropes, Ronnie had observed. All at once Lona opened the cabin door and kicked the drum out side! "HEY!" Ronica Veiled, in new astonishment. Sensing real danger now, P.o.v nle looked quickly out. The auto. Igiro was repeating its signal") to turn back Or land. She even thought she recognized the fly- ers In it. She handled her con trols to obey them. A hand struck her shoulder, hard. "Do as I tell you!" Andre Gir ardeau yelled, menacingly, In her ear. "Keep due south. Get across the line as quickly as possible!" "I won't!" "The hell you won't, you little fool!" With a quick move, then, he jerked her out Of the pilot's seat and literally threw her backward on the floor. EVen as she moved she tried to reach under her leather jacket: there she car ried the pearl-handled pistol Wes York had given her and ordered her to keep near. The piano lurched dangerously.

It wasn't simply a Mexican girl in anger or fear; (t was different. Ronnie didn't understand It, didn't understand anything. Her own fury Was such that she whs Ifefclhnmg to; sob a littje, partly tro'm sheer helplessness. Some how she knew LOna Monloya would shoot her 011 the slightest provocation now.

That old, familiar chant was heard today with Joe Louis, car rying on with what is described as his "bum-of-the-month" cam paign. expected to blast the cham pionship aspirations of ponderous Able Simon tonight. The battle, set for 20 rounds or less in Olympla arena, Is jok ingly or otherwise called the fif teenth defense Louis is making of his world s heavyweight cham pionship since he won it from James J. Braddock in June, 1937. As the hour of the bout ap proached there was no one, with the exception of' Simon and his manager, Jimmy Johnston, who conceded ponderous Abe a chance. Simon stuck to his conviction that he never had been hurt by a blow and did not believe Louis could do It, either. He figured the champion would tire from throw ing his punches and that he, Si mon, would then come on to win. Said Manager Johnston: "Abe, ; himself, told mo that he would win, and who am I to call him a liar?" The consensus was that the 250 pound Simon would not last more than four rounds and might not answer the bell for the second. He will outweigh Louis by 47 pounds, an advantage which may only prolong the agony for the huge, slow-footed challenger. Although no one questions the outcome of tonight's bout, sched uled to start at 7 n. nv Pacific I standard time, it is expected to uraw a capacity crowd ot 14,000 und a gross gate of $50,000.
