; LOVE AT FIRST LANDING
' . CHAPTER II
TJAY was parading In blue-and-.
gold attire over Connecticut
And, in mid-morning, Jonah Lo
gan and Mahoney drove toward
the estate of Henry L, Channing
in a rattletrap Ford, vintage ot
1 .1935. ' ' .. ,. .
' Between them ori the' front seat
! was a small square box finished in
' fawn leather. Save for this leather
- finish, it was an exact miniature
. 1 of the big machine that stood In
' . their converted barn. In the back
of the car were two cumbersome
black cases, obviously containing
' photographic equipment.
The country through which the
' Ford rattletrapped was superb.
Undulating green fields, divided
here and there by stone fences,
stretched In all directions. An-
cient trees lined the roadside.
Over this lush landscape the sun
was laying a golden wash and the
light, glittering in on a million
grass-blades, created the impres
sion that they were passing
through fields sown with emeralds.
"I understand," Jonah said
presently, "that the Channing
' estate is quite something. The
1 bouse is an exact copy of a French
.chateau." ; '
"No kiddin'," Mahoney said, with
Jntcrest "Any mamselles around?"
"Keep your mind on your work,
, Jiahoney," said Jonah. -..:
.. The tar negotiated a fair-sized
bill. At the summit Jonah pointed.
, ("Unless I've been misinformed,"
he said, "that would be the Chan
ping place." , V
Below they perceived a broad
. (acreage surrounded by an ivy
' (covered wall. From almost the
."center of this hallowed ground
' there arose a huge house of
. weathered dun-colored stone, tow-
- lered and turreted after the fashion
. favored - by architects of ... Old
France. Clustered about .the man
sion were a number of smaller
, outbuildings, so that the House of
jChanning had the appearance of
Ibeing the focal point in a tiny vil
lage. In a corner of the property,
Mbut still enclosed by the wall, was
something that looked like a large
((White circle.
"What's the round white thing?"
oney inquired.
i "Probably the fence around Mr.
Channing's private race course,"
'Jonah told him.- "During my in
quiries. I discovered that he's a
..'great horse fancier."
1 Mahoney was Impressed. ' '
., , ."LookJ he said, "where do Hie
-likes of us get off blowin' in on a
!guy that owns French chatty-os
jand race horses? ' Hadn't we ought
(to phone him an' . . .".
"Definitely not," cut in Jonah,
""The phone's been a. total loss.
Furthermore, Mahoney, there will
be a gatekeeper here, but we shall
jeschew him'. IH have no more
dealings with underlings. . I'm go
ing to climb that wall and go
straight to the Big Wind himself."
Mahoney whistled. "That's the
nuttiest idea yet. They'll run you
out by the seat of your pants, like
jJimmy Durante in the movies."
"They will, eh? Not before I've
told Mr. H. L. Channing a thin,
or two."
rTONAH had been rightTThew
V was a gatekeeper who bestowed
a fishy, and disinterested elane
: upon me rota as it chattered by.
, Jonah didn't even return the
.glance. He merely followed the
road around the wall to a point at
which a curve hid the gatehouse
from view. Then he stopped.
Mahoney's eyes measured the
wall. "You're goin' to have a
climb, Chief. That's easy 10 feet
high." : .
... "Nothing to it," said Jonah. "I
come from a long line of wall
scalers. Besides, Mahoney, ob-
serve yon. sapling. Yon sapling
i will help me. And you. will fol
low, being careful to refrain from
damaging the equipment."
With one finger locked tightly
around the handle of the little
fawn-leather box, Jonah climbed
' into the tree. In a few seconds, he
reached the top of the wall.
"How's it goin'?" inquired Ma
honey from below, in a hoarse
whisper. -. . .
Jonah turned to make reply. At
the same time he moved his left
toot. That was an error. It
i tamped him as a man whose an
cestors were more likely to have
: been Humpty Dumpties than wall
scalers. For the foot slipped on
, the smooth ivy. The next instant
Jonah Logan was descending
swiftly into the preserves of
Henry L. Channing.
He landed on his knees in soft
earth. . In a successful effort to
save the Terrible Eye from dis
aster, he failed to guard his chin,
i The chin struck Earth. For a brief
moment Mr. Logan knelt there,
like a monk in natty tweeds at his
devotions.
And then, quite unexpectedly, a
voice sounded. It was a low cool
voice, like the Bermuda night
Wind blowing Over a banana split.
"What's the trouble?" it said.
"Didn't the parachute open?"
, Jonah lifted his chin out of
Mother Earth. He perceived the
following items in logical order:
(1) a pair of small brown-and-white
sports shoes, (2) the neatest
ankles east of Shanghai, (3) long
'silken logs that reminded him at
once ot Marlene Dietrich, (4) a
whip-slim figure in a skirt of
summery green linen and canary
cashmere sweater, (5) the face
he'd been looking for all his life.
Jonah Logan had a recipe for
a face. , You took a wide smooth
forehead, put a couple of eyes that
looked n if they'd been scooped
up out t the Mediterranean be
low it; added a short straight nose;
laced a tiny line ot freckles across
the bridge of the nose; tossed in a
generous red mouth; tinted the
foregoing with a mixture of sun
tan and rose leaves, and voilal
You had the perfect face, So, for
Jonah's money, had this girL
"Ha," he said involuntarily.
"Ha, ha," said the girl. "You
look as if you've been leading
with your chin."
Jonah caressed the Logan Jaw,
noting meanwhile that ashblond
hair with pin-dots of yellow fire
in it was the only possible hair to
go with a face like this.
"My chin?" he said absently.
"Now don't tell me you've hurt
yourself," the girl said. "And, by
the way, what are you doing
nere? And, by another way, who
are you?"
JONAH felt a little like a vicious
ly tackled halfback who is be
ing walked around and questioned
by the referee.
"Me?" he said, somewhat daz
edly. "Why, I I'm Jonah."
"I see." The blue eyes regard
ed him gravely. "And what's
that? The whale?"
She pointed in well-bred fash
ion. The countenance ot Mahoney
was rising above the wall, like
the moon over Miami.
Jonah got hold of himself. He
was becoming aware of the reason
why he stood here rubbing his
chin, bewildered and inarticulate.
With the realization he had a
horrifying thought In another
second Mahoney would take off
from the wall. And this, Jonah
saw, mustn't be. The conversa
tion that he hoped presently to
conduct simply could not be clut
tered up with Mahoneys.
"Stay where you are, Mahoney!"
he ordered, extending a manda
tory finger.
"But you says to folly you," be

"That's canceled. At ease, Ma
honey." The girl spoke. "We're making
real progress. You're Jonah and
