"MY WHAT?"
"li'HKRE did jou crash?" de-
' ' manded Albery of the returned
Rex Moore. "Who found you?"
"Crashed In a typhoon aorriewhcre
near the Marquesas Islands. I did
the first hop to Fiji in tine time. And
the next one, too. Then I struck a
bad patch, the worst one I ever knew.
It was no good. I was helpless. I
wasn't forced down I was hurled
down.
"Don't remember much about It.
Don't know why I wasn't smashed
to pieces. Must have been uncon
scious for days. ' had been picked
up by a yacht and was taken to Cali
fornia. They told me the storm died
down as quickly as It had come up.
The people who owned the yacht
looked after me for more than a
rear."
tried to get In touch with your peo
ple?" "I have no people. You've forgotten
that."
"But haven't you tried to get In
touch with your wife?"
"My what?" The young man's
back was turned to Albery. He was
finishing a whisky and soda In which
they had been celebrating his return.
It sounded rather as If he were chok
ing. "Your wife. It's the most extra
ordinary thing your wife Is work
ing for us at the office. It almost
seems as If wo were both dreaming,
doesn't it? But we're not!"
Rex Moore turned his eyes on Al
bery'a face In a hard stare. For a
moment thoy renlly looked like the
eyes of a blind man, but Albery did
not notice that.
lie told the airman In a few rapid
words how his young wife, believing
herself his widow, of course, had
been In a rather bad way out In Aus
tralia, and had been discovered by
his friend and colleague In Sydney
and sent home, and how ever since
she had been a vnlued member of
the London office staff.
"I SUPPOSK, my dear hoy, you
thouRht she wnu still In Aus
tralia!" ho concluded.

"The people who owned the yacht looked after me,"
"But why didn't you send word
tomt?"
"Didn't feel like It. They wore de
tent folk and kept it dark. I was a
lseless log. What was the good? Bot
er that you should think me dead."
"You always woro a queer chap.
9ut after you recoverod your sight?"
"I was down and out a bit mad,
I think. I owed my life, my eyes, to
those people. But I gave them the
slip and made my way to New York
lomehow or other and picked up a
bit of a living there."
"Did you fly undor another name?"
"No. 1 didn't fly at all. I thought I
was through with that. I I Just
ylcked up a living."
"Why have you come back now?"
"Because 1 had to. I got a c ban go
of heart." He gave a bitter little
laugh. "I told myself I'd been a fool,
doing nothing but Just cursing be
cause I'd had bad luck. I thought of
you, Mr. Alhery. I thought you might
give me another chance. I'm all
right now. I can trust myself. I want
to carry on. If you don't think I'm too
much of a crock and too old for the
Job."
"I'm so glad to see you 1 don't
know what to say," was Alhery's
warm reply.
AND, then, abruptly, he foil Into
silence.
He remembered how, only a few
days ago, he had said to young Mrs.
Moore In his office. "I sometimes
wonder If you still hope agnlnst hope
that he might come back?"
And here he was, standing before
him. Rex Moore, her husband, bnek
from the dead. In the amazement
and shock of the scene he had not
thought or the girl before. That mado
It more Incomprehensible than over.
The young man must evidently have
gone off his head for a while. Ami
no wonder.
"Moore." ho said, "haven't you tot
anybody know that you're bark in
England allvo?"
"No; 1 hate fuss. Somebody might
have remembered mo. I'd have had
to tell this silly yarn a thousand
times. I've been In London a week.
Just trying to get used to li."
"nut. my dear boy, haven't you J
Eng-
"I didn't know she was In
land," was the slow reply.
"We wore so glnd to do what we
could to help her. Of course, you
mustn't bhuno yourself; you hadn't
tlmo to mnko u will, or nnythlng like
that. You'd only Just been married,
hadn't you, whoti you took off?"
"I hadn't anything to make a will
with," was the answer. It sounded
rather callous to the older man.
But, then, Moore had always been
a funny sort of chap. Not much so
clal and domestic side to him. Al-
bory had been astonished to hear
that he had married, although there
had been rumors, ho knew, In Aus
tralia, where he had spent several
months preparing for his great
night.
"This is a bit of a shock to me
my wlfo being here and working for
you," Moore went on. "it certainly
Is extraordinary. I'm sure It's vory
good of you to hnvo looked after
her." Ills faro woro a curious fixed
expression that Albery took for re
morse. "I can guess. It rather brings It
homo to you that you left the poor
girl without news of yourself all this
time. It mlpht hnvo caused a lot of
trouble, Moore, She has thought her
self a widow."
"You're rlnht, It might have made
n lot of trouble," said the airman
thoughtfully. "I'm rather overcome.
I apologise if 1 seem foolish."
"Joy doesn't kill." answered Al
bery smoothly. Hut in bis own mind
there was an unpleasant reaction
Laurlo Mooro was Moore's wife now.
not his willow. Quite a different
thing. There was a sudden crisis In
his brain, a wavo of angry hent, the
first pung of Jealousy of his life.
"Now. you will be off to see her
Wo can talk business to-morrow.
Of course, you must get hack to your
Job. I'll bo behind you. Don't worry
about that! Thorn are still a few
records unbroken and the Pnctfb
