airman, Laurie Moore ha got her
self into a mese. Rex, supposed to
be lost in the Pacific hat returned.

worst part it that Rex rube Laurie
the wrong way consistently.
Chapter Nina
WORSE TANGLE
LAURIE had made a kind of a
cult for Rex, ai she had made
for Mark Albery, tu her hero-worshipping
way. She bad heard so
much about htm from Belle Mason,
who adored him and would have
been his wife, If she had lived.
So much that she had seemed to
know blm. His gaiety, his kindness.
His bursts of temper, that were over
In a moment; bis restlessness when
he was bound to earth.
As she had told him a few min
utes ago, when she thought of how
she and Glad had been saved and
bad prospered because of blm. be
cause of her at It rat Innocent mas
querade, she had told herself that,
If he knew, be would forgive her.
He wouldn't mind. But, then, of
course, she had thought he was
dead, and she bad felt the dead
would understand.
How be must have changed! She
remembered that be bad been blind,
and her warm heart went out to him
for a moment. And that he had prob
ably saved her life the other day.
But why must he force her Into
this odious position? Surely, be
could have found a way out? The
logical part of her mind saw the
Justice of It But bis last words bad
stung her on the raw "When the
time comes to pay, you don't like It,
and you squeal!"
Ho was a selfish brute and he de
spised her. And she hated blm for
coming back and upsetting her life.
She would pay and she wouldn't
squeal. But she would punish him,
all the same, for those Insulting
words.
In the morning Laurie could al
most have thought the episode had
been a dream. She had slept sur
prisingly soundly after the shock
and stir of the encounter.
There was no word from Rex
Moore. By the post only a scrawl
from Gladys, saying that their tour
was being shortened, and she would
probably be back In London In the
middle of May, A "rest" was indi
cated. She hoped to goodness It
wouldn't be for long.
Laurie waited, feeling a fool, a
few minutes beyond her time before
she left for the office, which was
within an easy walk. But nothing
happened.
So she sot forth and did her day's
work as usual, following the routine
with a kind of Intelligently vacant
mind. Nobody said anything to her.
KvidenUy the news of Rex Moore's
return had not filtered through from
above.
Mark Albery did not send for her.
She bad half expected that he
would.
When she got home, Rex Moore
met her on the pavomenU
"1 found out when you loft the
office," he said. "I've been with Al
bery nearly all day. Everything went
off flrsSrate. May I come up with
you, Mrs. Moore?"
HIS grim chuckle had the usual
effect on her.
"I suppose so," she said coldly.
"Are you determined to go on rub
bing it In?"
He did not answer until they
wore up in her sitting-room. Then
he looked at her, smiling In his un
expected way, but without mockery.
Then she saw that his face could be
nice. He wore a new grey flannel
suit, and his hair had been cut and
trimmed to conventional smooth
ness. .
"No, I won't do that," be said
casually. "Why not treat It like a
Joke, which it really Is?"
"I don't see it in that light at all,
Mr. Moore."
"1 should try to. Do you mind If
I smoko?" He did not sit down with
out being asked.
She stood facing him, and sud
denly felt foolish. She pointed to a
chair, and sat down herself, refus
ing a cigaret
"So you went to work as usual to
day?" he asked abruptly.
"Of course." ,
"You Intend to go on with it?"
"What do you mean?" She stared
In amazement.
"Only that Albery asked me. 1
said I didn't know. Perhaps it would
look better if you didn't."
FLOOD FAILS 10
E
W ATKINS OLEN. N. T., July IS.
fAP) With odd Rurmenta donated by
HM Cro workers and friends as
their wcddlnR costumes, two refu
gees of upatnte New York's flood were
marriwt today.
Wttnesars to the ceremony were
ome 100 villagers made temporarily
homeless by the flood.
The principals were Dominic Fnl
luncll and Grace Maori, both of whom
lost personal belonKlnfta when their
parents' homes were wrecked by the
high waters.
Griffin Creek
ORIFFIN CREEK. July 13 (Spl )
Several ladle of the community
attended (he cork:n school In Mrd
ford rntiy.
Mrs C. J. Pick and aons Law iv not
and Psle of Jacksonville were oalleii
Laurie's eyes blazed.
"Nothing would Induce me to give
up my work. 1 would rather tell the
truth. Vou haven't any right to ask
me to."
"1 won't, then. Don't bit the ceil
ing! It's only that be Is offering me
a very decent salary, and it might
seem queer."
"I don't care what it seems." She
saw amusement in his face and at
once controlled herself. She mustn't
get excited. "They didn't know at
the office that you had come back."
ahe said.
"Albery Is going to announce it to
morrow. He's been very decent; he's
used his Influence so that the papers
won't make any fuss. I've agreed to
give one Interview only, and that'll
be the end. I never would stand
publicity. Well, Albery has solved
our domestic problem. He's lending
us a furnished flat quite near bis
own, and he's asked us to dinner
tomorrow."
Laurie was speechless for a mo
ment; then she stammered out:
"You don't mean we've got to live
In the same house?"
She looked so much like an
abashed child that he could not help
laughing.
"Naturally. Don't husbands and
wives usually?"
"I never thought of that."
"You never soem to think of any
thing. But don't worry, we shall
manage. It will give us a chance to
stage quarrels and And out we hate
each other. 1 don't suppose you want
me to come and live here?"
"H, no, no! There's no room.
Besides oh, no! But It's my
home. 1 can't give It up. It's my sis
ter's home. I made It for her."
"You can shut it up for the time
being. I'll pay the rent. By the way,
your sister how does she stand In
this little game?"
Laurie's face crimsoned once
more with shame.
"Glad thinks 1 was married to you.
You see, she was unconscious, at
death's door, when it happened. I
couldn't face her afterwards. So I
let ber think ft, like everybody
else."
"You must have an ingenious
brain," he commented.
"It wasn't difficult. She believes
everything I say. 1 only had to tell
her I'd met you near our home In
the country, and we were married
secretly after poor Belle died. Glad
was away (or six months, working
on an orange plantation, before we
went to Sydney. She didn't know
Belle; she went to a different school.
She's five years younger than I."
He looked at her straight In the
eyes. For the first time her antag
onism faltered.
"1 guoss you've been through a
bit," he said quietly. "Well, that's
all right. You'll send the good news
to your sister right away." His smllo
was mocking again.
"She will bo 'coming to London
soon."
"Thon she can stay with us and
watch our cat and dog life. Better
to have a witness on your side, so
It can be all my fault."
"You're perfectly disgusting!"
Laurie oxclalmcd furiously. "I don't
believe I'll do It after all!"
"It's fixed. You can't get out of
It now. By tho way, you know my
first name. What's yours?" ,
"Laurie."
"It suits you. It's uncommon
like you. I say, must you look so
glum? Can't you see the funny side
of it?" There was quite a pleased
expression on his face, a hint of the
eager, happy, laughing young man
of the photograph. "I haven't said
I'm grateful to you, but 1 am. Albery
Is all ovor me. You see, I've got to
make money. It's the main thing for
me to make lots of monoy."
He Btopped abruptly, as If he had
forgotten himself In a moment of
rare relaxation.
"I'll make It oaay for you," he add
ed. "And I'll get off now, and come
back In the morning. Alhery sent a
message. You're not to go back to
the ofllce anyhow for a few days,
until we're settled In. Can you move
tomorrow?"
"I suppose so," she said ungraci
ously. "Right! Good-night, then!"
Laurie was confused when he
held out his hand, but she put hers
In U. A tingling went through her
that made hor pull It hastily away.
Her "gond-nlRht" was a whisper,
ns she fought for self-control.

PORTABLE HOUSE

The portable house for side camps
instituted it Wlmer some months ago
and first built at' Jack creek camp

surveyor Lew Amort dismantled, mov
ed end reassembled an 8-man bunk
house here Friday in 74 hours. Am
ort used four men and a truck to
move the building from Central
Point side camp to lta new location
at Murphy 35 miles away.
It took the four CCC member one
hour ,to unbolt the house, another
hour to load it and four hours to re
assemble It after the truck reached
the new location at Murphy. Amort
thinks that when the men are a lit
tle more experienced in dismantling
and reassembling, the time will be
cut.
The Wlmer type portable bunk
house Is built in three unit sections
which are light enough for ease In
handling. Each wall, side of the roof
and the floor Is divided into throe
pieces whioh are are bolted together
with ,B" bolts. The building is
strongly braced with A-frames whloh

easily Into the body of an ordinary
sized truck.
Blue prints of the new type house
are in the office of J. J. Russell, ECW
camp head. It Is expected that all
side camps in the state will event
