CHAPTER VH
rfDS Taj Mahal" stood near the
extreme edge of the Channing
property. 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,

"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
