Albery it interested ill her. .Voto Rex Sloart returns, rolls on Laurie, and de clares lie is astounded to find he hns a widow when he never had a wife. Laurie collapses. Chapter Seven EXPLANATION "you are Rei Moore?" Laurie 1 whispered. "You are alive?" She collapsed, and burled her face In her arms on the table. The ihame that this particular man of all men should be Rei Moore was too much for her. He stood in silence, gazing at her bent russet head. In the nape of her neck was a little hollow and round It grew downy ringlets of red gold. His eyes lingered on them. Laurie raised her head. She was not a coward, whatever she was. She would show him that "1 thought you were dead," she said. "I never thought you would come back." "That's obvious." His retort was accompanied by another of those mocking smiles. "Just as you never thought the railway carriage door was open the other day! You don't seem to be a sound thinker. By the way. what Is your name?" IMIMI I! yon and sent you to England?" asked Moore. "Yes." "And they mad no Inquiries about you?" "No: they took my word. 1 should never have thought of It but for them." "But bow did you manage It? How could you play the part of the widow of a man you bad never set eyes on?" "I knew Belle Mason very well. She was always talking about you. I remembered everything she bad told me. She came from Warrablllo, too. We went to school together. I knew that you were engaged to her and would have married her, If she hadn't suddenly died of typhoid." . "I see. Poor Belle! Poor kid! Yes, we were going to get married." His voice was remote; then It hardened. "So you took up the role of my widow to sponge on the charity of Albery's firm! You did It deliber ately?" "I did after the first" "It turned out fine for you." "It did. But I've worked bard. And H saved my sister's life." " A NO when you'd made good, you didn't think of telling the truth?"

NAb, then you bad a good start!" "Moor without an E," she cor rected. She was up Id arms. "Would It be too much to ask you to tell me what the game was?" "It wasn't a game." She hurried over her words, her cheeks crimson, her blue eyes dark with defiance, "And 1 didn't start It; It started It solf. 1 was down and out In Sydney, whore I'd boon living with my little alster alter my father died. My father left us penniless. We came to Sydney from the country, where he bad been trying to farm. But be couldn't get on. "I tried all sorts of jobs, but 1 couldn't keep them. It came to when we hadn't enough to eat, and had to move from our lodgings and got Into a house, where the woman ac cused me of stealing and called In the police, and my sister was very 111. and I was half crazy. ,,TPHE police were kind to me; they know the woman had a bad reputation. And at the hospital where my sister was they were kind to me, too. And there happened to be a gentleman there, visiting, who hoard that 1 came from Warrablllo County, and for some roason he got It into his head that 1 was the widow of Rex Moore. "They bad beard that he bad secretly married a girl from that dis trict before he started off on his flight, and was kilted. They were anxious to find her and do some thing for her. There had been a mystery about the marriage. And I said I was Rex Moore's widow. 1 say I was crazy, but it saved me and my slater from all sorts of things." The man, looking at her Intently, did not show that he knew she was cot telling all the truth. She was not. There were things she would not tell him. "This man, 1 suppose, was Mr. Albery's friend, who looked after Ml may have thought of It. But 1 should, have lost my Job, and everybody would know I was a cbeal and a fraud." "Two years you're kept It up?" "Yes." "Did you ever think of me? A dead man, while you were living this He?' "1 thought of Rex Moore not ol you. 1 thought of Rex Moore as I Imagined him to be. And 1 thought I folt. If he knew, he would forglvt me. He would not mind." "But you think I would have minded?" x "Yes. You're a cruel man." Hei eyes blazed with defiant misery and intolerable shame. There was a long pause. Then Rex Moore said: "1 mind this much, as 1 bappeo to be alive. You're made a fool ol me In Albery's eyes. I didn't tell blm just now that I hadn't a wife at all. 1 wanted to come along and have a look at the girl who had played this trick on a dead man. So he la under the Impression that we are Indulging In a happy reunion." His grim chuckle made her wince. "I'm broke myself now," he went on. "I have to look to Albery for the future. I owe him everything In the past. I'm not going to let him know bow he's been fooled by you, and that I stood for It just now. Do you get me?' "No " gasped Laurie. "What do you mean?" "That you've Just got to keep up the farce and go on pretending to be my wife." "Oh no!" Laurie stared at Rex Moore. The misery and shame In her eyes were replaced by a glitter of Indignant fury. "You're Just wanting to Insult me, to be odious to me. You wouldn't want me to do that!" "It's the last thing Id the world I want to do," the man said. (Coptricht.
