bad time, poor woman, but you've taken her place splen
didly." There was a hint of regret in Mark Afbcry's voice, as if
the return of his invaluable confidential secretary after an
illness did not cause him the satisfaction that it should.
He looked at the girl who had replaced her, coming
from one of the other departments
ot the London office ot his great air
plane factory. Her moved voice and
shining eyes pleased Mm. In the
few weeks that she had been doing
his personal correspondence he had
often been struck by her unurunl
combination of business efllciency
and emotional appeal. She was. he
bad decided, the most absolutely
natural young woman he had met
in his office life.
"You are very fond of your sister,
Mrs. Moore?" he asked. lie wanted
AH
to keep her In his office a little
longer, although their work was
done and she was ready to go.
Hs knew all about Laurie Moore,
of course; that she was the widow
of Rex Moore, the airman, who had
lost his life In an attempt to By the
Pacific, that she and her young sis
ter had been stranded tn Australia,
penniless, and that a friend and bust
oesa colleague of his had looked
after them and sent them to Eng
land, with a letter to himself as the
head of the Arm that produced the
machine In which the airman had
met his death.
That was two years ago. Of course,
the firm had done everything they
coutd to help her. They would have
looked after her without offering
ber work, but she wanted a Job and
would take nothing else, ily now she
had worked oer way Into a good
position, but It was only In the last
few weeks that Mark Albery had
come Into personal contact with nor.
He found blniBolf interested In
ber. She bad brains. He could not at
first make up his mind whether she
was pretty; then decided that she
was not, but sometimes looked beau
tiful, when her blue eyes shone and
the expression of her oval fare
changed from moment to moment
In Its emotional vitality.
Her eyes were the color of lupins,
a dark, misty blue, and her hair
was red-brown, like a glossy ripe
chestnut. She had a high spirit, and,
be guessed, a quick temper. And she
was not a "yes girl."
He liked that especially in her. As
the head of a gnat business, he had
so many "yes girls" and "yes men"
to deal with. Even the Indispensa
ble Miss Dixie was a bit of a "yes
woman," agreeing Invariably wltb
sverythlng he said.
OUT Laurie Moore bad contra

only last week, over that tiresome
mattnr in which he was up against
the Qovemment, she had most un
expectedly made a suggestion that
criticized his own handling of the
case. It was a piece of feminine

YOUNG WIDOW j
have a very good time, Mrs.
Moore. You deserve a rest, l ve been work
ing you hard these last weeks."
Laurie Moore looked at her employer,
her blue eyes softly bright with gratitude.
"It is so kind of you to give me the extra
day, Mr. Albery," she said. "I shall be able
to see my little sister's first night on Easter
Monday."
"That's all right, Mrs. Moore. Miss
Dixie will be back on Tuesday. She's had a
guile. Ot course, she coulff not un
derstand the technical Issues, but
her instinct told her that hiB treat
ment of the situation was wrong.
And she turned out to be right
Yes, Mark Albery wns definitely
Interested in young Mrs, Moore. He
wub not at all certain that he was
not falling In love with her But that
would be another matter. He woe
forty-five and a confirmed bachelor.
Marriage had Dover entered his
thoughts and was not likely to now.
Saturday they rehearsed at the theatre.
"Yes, i mlBB Gladys very much
when she's on tour," the girl said.
"And she hasn't been In London for
three months.'
"She Is a dancer. Isn't she?"
"Yes, and she's getting on splen
didly." Pride rang In Laurie's voice
It was plain to the man that little
sister was the apple of her eye, MTho
manager of the troupo thinks a lot
of her. 1 shall never forget that it
was your kindness that made It. pos
sible for her to take lessons. Mr.
Albery. You have done so much for
us both."
"One could not do too much for
Rex Moore's widow," the man said.
He had a curious voice, smooth and
rather toneless, but commanding.
"One sometimes wonders whether
the Arm might not be responsible
In a way. Some slight technical flaw
that was overlooked. Anyhow, such
tragedies bring things home."
"Oh, no. Mr. Albery, I'm sure you
could not blame yourself Id any
way." said Laurie warmly.
She looked al his Impassive face
with a kind of bero-worsbl; In her
eyes. He was a spare man of me
dium height, gracefully built, an ar
resting figure In his carelessly ele
gant clothes.
His features bad something of an
ancient Egyptian carving about
them, the high forehead, the flatly
curved nose, the mouth, full-lipped
but close-set, the long, narrow dark
eyes, the thick satin-black hair with
a wide ripple In it. The grave dark
face was olive-skinned. He seldom
smiled, but when he did, a sudden
charm flashed over 1L
"You had only Just been married
when poor Moore was lost, hadn't
you?" be asked.
"Yes only a few weeks."
"It was a cruel thing for you. He
was a remarkable fellow."
Mark Afbery had only spoken to
Laurie about ber husband once be
fore, ft bad seemed to him that she
shrank from discussing hfm. But to
day be was seized with s curlons
desire to probe her mind She was
gifted with such a rich tempera
ment Such reserves appeared to be
unnatural, ,

i saw a good deal ot him at on
time," he went on. "1 never met a
man to full of life, so completely
fearless, so highly strung, and yet so
self-controlled. For his age, be was
Incredible. And a genius In the
air. Born ior It ,1 looked for the
greatest things from him. and I'm
sure he would have done them if he
had lived. It's a grand game. Mrs.
Moore, but a risky one. It'll always
be risky as tar as we can see. A
patch of bad weather who can
fisht against that? A great loss to
England and to aviation all over the
world."
LAURIE was looking away from
him.
"I sometimes wonder if you still
hope against hope?" he said quiet
ly. "That he might come back? No
trace of blm or his machine was
found, In spite of the most Intensive
search. Do you?"
"Oh, no!" It was a kind ot choked
cry that came from her Hps. She was
still looking away from blm. Her
face wns working with a sudden
deep emotion. It looked almost like
fear.
"I'm sorry, I should not have said
thr.L" Albery wos distressed. "It was
stupid, unkind. Forgive me. Mrs.
Moore. The last thing 1 want to do
Is to cause you pain, i want you to
be happy. I cannot help being Inter-
ested In yon. Yon are so brave. Yoa
put up such a good fight against
your troubles. Dut 1 mustn't keep
you any longer. Would yon accept
this little present as an Easter
egg? It's only a trifle, but i felt I
would like to show my appreciation
of your work."
The trifle that bs put Into her
hand was a handbag, fitted with
toilet requisites, daintily enamelled.
A -simple gift unostentatious but
costly, beautifully chosen.
Laurie's pale face flushed with
pleasure She had one of her beaut
ful moments as she smiled and
stammered ber thanks.
"You are too kind, Mr. Albery. I
don't deserve 1L What a perfectly
gorgeous bag!"
He took her hand. The close nose
of his grip was like himself, Im
passive, faintly mysterious, dis
turbing. Laurie's heart beat a little faster
than usual, as she hurried out of
the building near the Houses of
Parliament on the river, to the tiny
flat In the roof of an old. tumble
down house In Westminster that
she kept always bright and cosy as a
home for her little sister to come
back to. t
Those were four happy days that
Laurie Moors spent In Liverpool
with her sister. Good Friday and
EaBtor Day sho had her all to her
self. All Saturday they rehearsed
at the theatre where the new Revue
was being produced. In which the
troupe of dancing girts that Gladys
belonged to was one of the brightest
Attractions.
The first night x& a brilliant suc
cess They were both so excited that
they could not sleep, and sat op
talking In Laurie's room until broad
daylight.
And yet, as Laurie walked along
the station platform to the London
train on the Tuesda afternoon. .
there was a little anxiety In her
heart
Was Glad nst a bit too thin? Was
the life too hard and exciting for
her?
