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.

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

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

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

thought she recognized the fly-

ear. "Keep due south. Get across
the line as quickly as possible!"
"I won't!"
"The hell you won't, you little

Simon Regarded
Quick Loser To
Joe Louis Tonight
By CHARLES DUNKLEY
DETROIT, Mich., March 21,
(API "How long will it last?"
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.
