She ia Wanda Steele, and aha teems to recall disturbing memories to Has. Chapter 18 PAST HISTORY "T EX, how badly you treated 1- me!" Wanda Bteele'a freat dark eyes reproached him through the happiness ot seeing him again. "How could you do It? Going off like that without a word! Leaving me Id that fearful anxiety, not knowing whether you were alive or dead! After all 1 bad done for you! it was cruel It was Inhuman. 1 never got over 1L Nothing mattered to me any more after you bad gone. Eight months ago. Rex, and 1 thought of .you every day!" "How did you find me?" he asked in a dull voice. "I've just come to London from Jtaly. I've been traveling for the last six months. And 1 saw In the paper this morning that Mark AI berry had given you a luncheon, that you were back and were planning a new fllgbL I rang up the Albery offices and they gave me your ad- dress. Rex. why do you look at me so strangely? Aren't you glad to see me ? Have you forgotten every thing?" He was looking at her strangely. at the woman who, with her bus- 'band, had rescued him In their yacht when he had crashed In those lonely wastes of the Pacific, who had taken him to their home in California, looked after blm, nursed him de votedly while be lay unconscious, comforted him when be awoke blind. They had done (or him all that human beings could do. They had kept his rescue a secret, as be had asked them to. They had treated him as an honored guest; they bad Indulged every reasonable whim of his broken body and bis darkened soul. They had lapped blm In the greatest luxury and paid enormous sums to the greatest specialists In the hope of restoring bis sight. T last be bad been cured, and only a month afterwards he bad slipped out of their gates during the night, because he knew they would . not let him go In the way be wanted to, and because be knew he could never thank them for what they had done. And because this woman bad told him that she loved blm and that without htm her life would not be worth living. Of course, he realized afterwards that be bad been a little crazy. His brain must have been unhinged by ithe Joy of regaining his sight. "I can only think you must have jbeen mad," the woman said. "1 was," he answered. "What I did was unforgivable. There Is noth ing worse than Ingratitude." "It doesn't matter now that I've found you again," she said. She was holding his bands, standing very close to blm, looking passionately, exultantly Into his eyes, i She was not beautiful. Her fea tures were too large. But she was at tractive, with her eager, wide red Hps, her long pale golden face, pow dered with freckles, framed In the thick platinum hair, with thickly painted lasnes. And she was supremely elegant. Her severe tailor-made costume, her little grey turban, with a single large pearl In It, her discreet but costly onyx and diamond bangles, the grey molr6 pochette, with the tiny dla mond Initials; all was perfect. The Impeccable combination of wealth and tii s to. Rex Moore's face was grim, as be disengaged his hands and put her gently Into an armchair. Her eyes filled with reproach again. "Rex, 1 hardly knew you! Tell me about It. What did you do It for? Why did you r.ever send word?" "1 kntw that 1 eonld never thank you," he aniwrd. "And 1 couldn't go on living on your kindneit and your bushnnd's fetrlty. I'm afraid I can't And words to explain But 1 had to it on my own feet again. 1 weu'. to New York. It took me two months to work my way there. And 1 picked up a living In one w&t nn other. And then I suppose tny mind got well again like my body bad done, and I wanted CHICAGO. July 19. AP) The discove: y of i woman's body In a Chicago sewer gave an exciting turn today to the hunt for Mrs. Evelyn Smith, 35, sought In the "swamp murder" of Ervin Lang. 28. Investigators rushed to 78th street, the scene or the discovery. In the belief the body was that of Mrs. fiinith. but later decided It was tht of another woman. The woman haa been dead (or three month, the in vestigators said. Mrs. Smith disappeared after Mrs. Blanche Dunkel, Land's mother-in-law, told police she hired Mrs. Smith to felay Lang for 500. A group of workmen repairing the sewer found the body, which was wrapped In linen. It was in such condition the investigator t. it would be dllllcult to establish any Identification and were unable to say Immediately whether there had been foul play. The woman's bands had been tied. to come back to England and get on with my Job. That's all." " A LL!M she echoed. "It tells me nothing." But she did not seem to mind, or to be particularly Inter ested la what ha bad done during those months. It was so plain that all she cared about was that she bad found him again. "How is your husband?" he asked. "Dead." "Oh, I am sorry! "You needn't be. I'm not" He looked at her with something like fear In his eyes- "Don't be a hypocrite," she said. "You know quite well Ferdy and 1 were nothing to each other. For years we bad been only good friends long before you came Into my life. Ferdy had his compensations, like all men. I bad none. 1 wasn't that "What I did was unforglveable." kind. I couldn't take up with Just any man, because he was a man." "I am sorry." Rex Moore repeated. His long, angry mouth was hard. In his face was nothing that she looked for. "Sorry because 1 am free?" the woman asked. Her voice had dropped; there was no drawl In It, but a breathless question. Rex looked at her with bis wintry eyes. "I should have liked to thank him," be said dully. "You have forgotten me? You have never thought of me at all?" "Often," "Don't play with me! You know what we said to each other before you ran away like a coward. I un derstand. Rex, you ran away be cause of me. You were afraid of me. You didn't want to be ungrateful to Ferdy. You knew I loved you you knew It. You must have known It all the time you were with us. But Ferdy was alive. Now he'd dead there's nothing between us." "When did be die?" "Two months after you left us. He fell off his horse and It rolled over htm. I think he was drunk. But. Rex. let's talk about ourselves. You've had a shock. But you must see there's nothing between us now." (Copyright, 19SS, Coralta Stanton) Wanda, tomorrow, oats a shock. FiSH EATING BIROS GET FEW GAME F SALEM. Ore. (UP) Fish-eating birds usually blamed for the dis appearance of baby trout planted tn stream actually destroy very few game fish, according to a report from the federal biological survey.

STATE EXPENSES CAREFULLY EYED BY BUDGET CHIEF SALEM. Ore. (UP) War on chls elers of state expense accounts has been declared by budget director D. O. Hood. Budgetary control, vested In Gov ernor Martin by the last legislature, la being used effectively, Hood re vealed. Every voucher is being check ed by the budget office before being paid. Already a number have been turn ed back because they were believed to be too high. The battleship Oregon commission waa called on the carpet by the gov ernor, charged with trying to spend more than Its legislative appropria tion. The budgetary control law gives the governor power to "rearrange, transfer, disapprove or revise" Items of expenditure. Martin proposed to cut the commission's expenses for the rest of the year In half. Formerly, all vouchers were check ed by the governor's private secre tary. The checking was merely a rou tine signing of the warrants, Hood said. Martin transferred the work 'o the budget division, where Carl Cover, assistant budget director, studies each voucher before signing It and passing It on to Secretary of State Snell for payment.
