It was hidden from the main house by huge shade trees -"which was, perhaps, fortunate for the Inmates of the main house. Only to the inebriated could the structure have called to mind the gem ot Agra. It was a low pink stucco building whose roof had been patterned loosely after the roof of a mosque. Tiny gilded lowers, no doubt the only attempt t minarets in Connecticut, arose from the four corners of the roof. The place was neither Indian nor yet wholly Arabic in design. Rather it had the appearance of an American restaurant on a bender.- Jonah blinked at it "You could make a fortune with this on High way Number One." "I know it's dreadful," Hildy said apologetically. "But Aunt Mag loved it She used to come here and commune. Aunt Meg went in for spiritualism." : "And a jolly little number it is to commune in, too," Jonah, said warmly. "I . . ." He stopped abruptly. The Ta Mahal might look like a glorified kiosk, but it was private and se cluded. .Not at all a bad place in which to inform a girl that you loved her. He stole a sidelong look at Hildy Channing. Just now her dark-blue eyes were alive with lights and the morning breeze chivvied her bright hair. The Taj Mahal, Jonah decided, was just the place. "I don't want to appear to tush filings, Hildy," he said, by way of lucking off, "but you and I have been through a lot together. We've, faced a common danger and . . . : . ."Come, come, Jonah," Hildy (aid. "What's biting you?" .."And so," Jonah went on ear nestly, "the time has come when Logan, who dislikes words, must use . them. Deeds, accomplish mentsthat's Logan in the ordi nary way. But, sometimes, words are necessary. And so, Hildy, I want to know If you feel it too?" "Feel what?"- - "A curious sensation. A name less something. Something that begins at the soles -of the feet, travels gently up the spine in al ternating hot and cold waves and finally expends itself in a kind of electric prickling at the roots of the hair?" ; "I hadnt noticed anything like that But now you mention it the air does feel a bit tingly. Shouldn't be surprised if we bad a thunderstorm." I '"Hildy," said Jonah, -persevering, -"you "don't catch, m put it another way. Do you or do you not feel as If great events are just around the corner?"- "Why yes," Hildy said surpris ingly. "I do." Jonah's heart did a rhumba. "I knew it It's in the cards. All of time, all of history, has been pointing toward just this one thing." ; He looked at her with melting eyes. "You do believe, don't you, Hildy, that something wonderful and glorious and and spectacular is about to happen?" "Jonah," said Hildy, "it's funny you should say that Because it's . precisely how I feel" '. "Ah," Jonah breathed. "And it's funny too," said Hildy, "that you should use just those words. Wonderfull Glorious! Spectacular! They're the very words I would have usea myself." Suddenly she raised herself on tiptoe, flung out her arms and took a deep breath. She looked like a poster for a youth move ment "Oh, Jonah, I've just got to tell somebody. Hi is wonder ful. The most wonderful, glorious and spectacular guy in the whole U. S. A. His name is Chet Saxon and on Saturday night, with your help, I'm going to elope with him. QNCE in his youth, Jonah Lo V gan, playing end on the third team of the Dellford Academy for Boys, had blocked a punt Where fore he knew how it felt to be practically kicked in the stomach. He reacted now just as he had on that former, and more glorious, occasion. "Ooof," he said. : Hildy was doing another youth movement facing the sun. ; "Really, Jonah," she said, "he Is marvelous. He's an aviator." '. Jonah steeled himself. This hideous thing had happened to him in the prime of life, as it were,-searing and yellowing his soul. He felt suddenly decrepit, a withered hulk. The withered hulk managed speech. "Here," it said, gulping hol lowly, "let's get this straight! You say you're going to elope? Satur day night? With an aviator? Name of Saxon?" "That's right You pick things tip quickly, Jonah." i Jonah shook off the first effect of. the haymaker. "You mention my assistance," he said bleakly. "What makes you think I'd be a party to a a fantastic scheme like that?" i Hildy's eyes widened. "Why, Jonah! A moment ago you said you'd help me." Jonah frowned. "I know," he aid, somewhat lamely. "But that was before this punk Saxon got In the picture." : "Ho is not, either, a punk." vlS ..?," said.. Jonah loftily, COPYRIGHT, 143, NCA SKRVICK. INC. "to consider him a punk. A defi nite jerk." "You disappoint me, Jonah," said Hildy. "When you told me your plans with respect to father, I didn't get abusive, did 1? No. I offered to help you, without reser vation. And now, when I want a very small favor, you backfire on me." Jonah kicked turf. The girl had a point "Okay," he said grudgingly. "What do you want me to do?" "That's more like it Well, just to put you straight father is going all-out to keep Chet and me apart That's what the fight's about" a JONAH pricked up his ears. In spite of that gentleman's recent reception of himself, he began to feel a warm personal friendship for Henry L. Channing. "Is that a fact?" he said. "Off hand, I wouldn't have credited your father with so much intelli gence. What has he got against this drip?" "Watch your language, Jonah. Father is prejudiced, that's all. You sec, when Chet first began to to pay attention to me, father took an instant dislike to him. So he had him looked up. And he says he got a bad report Accord ing to father, Chet is a ne'er-do-well. Father goes f urtlier. He calls him an 'aviation bum'." "Naturally," said Jonah. "Don't interrupt please. Any how, father has forbidden me to see Chet And he says that if I disobey him, he'll cut me off with out a cent" "Well, gosh," Jonah said, "you'd better not elope, then. You'll lose your shirt" Jonah was stalling for time and THIS CURIOUS WORLD PILEATED GROWS TO THE TREMENDOUS LENGTH OF 202.
