HEADY MADE Wlf fM .BY CORALIE STANTON . 8YNOPS1S: haurtt pretended to be Rex Moore's widow to tan her self and her sister Gladys from a desperate situation. How the mwl keep up the pretense to save Rex's job with Mark Albery, tines Rex has returned alter two years. Rex has gone to the rescue o some fatten airmen in Africa; while he ts pone Albery suddenly declares his Ii'itf for Laurie, who is his sec retary as well as Rex's "wile," LBERY released her; abe stared ' 1 at him like a person In dream. "i am sorry, be said, and In a miraculous way be was blmself again, and the Incredible scene was blotted out, and be was smiling at ber, a ratber sad little smile. "It was unpardonable, Mrs. Moore. Do please forgive me, and forget about ltl To show my feelings like tbat was taking a shameful advant age of you." Laurie was nonplussed. He bad suddenly brought an atmospbere of tragedy Into what might have been a sordid episode. "I'm sure you didn't mean It," she murmured. "That's tbe sad part of It," be re plied gravely, "I did mean It. As I said, you came too late Into my lite. I am no longer young, and you are tbe woman I have dreamed of ! ways. The woman 1 could have loved. But I ougbt not to have told you so." "Ob, Mr. Albery!" It sounded al most stupid, that whispered ex clamation. But Laurie was both horrified and In a way nattered. This captain of Industry, whom she had thought of as she might think of any of the overlords of the present day world, was telling ber that be loved ber, tbat she was tbe woman he had always dreamed of. She his secretary. She the girl who bad cheated him, lied to him through two years, who bad been saved from despair and disaster by bis Kind ness and generosity. Mark Albery, watching the chanc ing lights and shadows of emotion In her face, knew that be must bide bis time. She might be unhappy, but she was loyal. And Laurie, as she typed the let ters In ber office, made so many mistakes that she bad to do several of them over again. This was destined to be a memor able day for Laurie. When she got back to the flat, she found that Gladys bad gone out to dinner, leaving a message with Mrs. Budd that a friend bad called for her. "Was It a gentleman!" Laurie asked. "No. mum, a lady." Laurie felt a fool, but she was not quite herself after that extraordi nary scene with ber employer. About a quarter of an hour after wards. Mrs. Budd came In to say that a gentleman wanted to see her, and handed her a card. "Mr. Gavin Drake" was tbe name on It. Laurie knew nobody of that name. It must be some friend of Rex Moore's. She decided to see blm. A slim young man under medium height was shown In. Her first re action was one of sympathy, be cause she saw that he had only one arm. He had yellow hair and a small, neat moustache, and wore heavy lensed spectacles. Ha greeted ber with a bow and a long smile that expressed deferential admiration. "TT Is so kind of you to see me. 1 Mrs. Moore," he said. He naa a pleasant voice, wltb a marked accent, and a confidential, friendly manner that was rather ap pealing. His accent she recognised wltb a certain misgiving. "I expect It ts Mr. Moore my husband, whom you want to aeeT" she suggested. "No. I am aware that Mr. Moore Is away In his native element, and has just accomplished another won derful flying feat," he answered. "Of course, I should have been honored to meet him, but It Is from yourseir that I wanted to ask a kindness. Mrs. Moore." "What can I do for you?" she asked, taken aback. "I must Introduce myself. I am Gavin Drake." "Yon are from Australia, aren't you?" she asked. "Yes. I come from down under." He gave her a comradely smile. "So do you?" "I wasn't borne there. My father went out when I was quite young." "It's like this." he told her He sat forward In his chair, with his one arm. the right one. on his knee. She thpught be was rather like a canary. 176 ARRESTS LISTED BY POLICE IN JUNE SALEM, July 25 ( API tta po lice officers reported lifl arrest in general law enforcement during June. Charles P.

"I'm really over here on a holiday trip, but I'm a Journalist by profession, and I was given a roving commission to repre sent tbe Sew Sydney Record while I'm here. And I've bad a cable from tbe editor to get an Interview wltb you." "With me? Wby?" Laurie asked "My dear Mrs. Moore, you must realize what a sensation your bus- band's return bad made down there In Australia. It's one of the most dramatic things tbat ever happened. And bis being over there for so many months getting ready for bis flight, and your romantic marriage wby, you must realise that an In terview wltb you will be of the greatest Interest! Such a wonder fully human story, Mrs. Moore!" Laurie felt a little chill. "But you'd much better wait un til my husband comes back," sba said. "He can't be many days now." "Of course, I shall be thrilled to see blm on bis return. If I am still here," replied Mr. Drake, with an Ingratiating smile. "But It would be kind of you to give me a little story to cable over there. Tou see. It means so much to me. I've bad rather a bad time." Without actually doing so. he called her sympathetic attention to bis empty sleeve. "And Just now, of course, you must know tbat ha Is the hero of Sydney, now that they know of his miraculous escape from death. I may say It was tbe biggest sensation for years. Won't you Just give me a message to the people of Sydney, Mrs. Moore." T DC 1 to DON'T know what you want me 'Well first of all, a message of greeting," be said glibly. I shall be delighted to do that," Then Just a tew details about your romantlo reunion. The thrill of learning that your husband was alive. And then, It I may ask you, a few words about your marriage. You see, It was such a secret romance, so few people knew anything about it." Laurie went colder still. "Ob, there's nothing to tell about that. Mr. Drake 1" But I assure you It's just what people would love to read about, your secret wedding Just before tbe hero went off on the flight that was supposed to end In tragedy. You can't Imagine what a hero Rex Moore Is In Sydney. And nobody knows anything only rumors. Just that Rex Moore was married to a girl a short time before he took off. Where were you married, Mra. Moore?" The chill went up to Laurie's brain. It felt frozen. "I'd really rather not say anything until my husband comes back." The young man's smile grew even more Ingratiating. "But It would be such a kindness to me. When he does come back, thore'll be hundreda of newspaper men 'round him." Laurie's wits deserted her. On no account must the young man sus pect anything. "In Warrablllo County," she said recklessly. "Ob Indeed, bow Interesting!" Mr. Drake took out a little note book and a pencil. Through her contusion Laurie noticed how skilful he was In his movements with only one arm. "I know Warrablllo County a little myself. Was It In Warralora town ship Itself that you were married, Mrs. Moore?" Why wasn't Rex Moore here! Why hadn't they discussed this hideous possibility when he was here? "No, In a little outpost near where 1 was staying, not far from my old home." "What was It called, Mrs. Moore?" "It had no name tbat 1 know of." "Church, cbapel, or reglstrsr, please?" The young Journalist was devastattngly business-like. "Then was a Minister visiting." she said. "He married us. I've for gotten his name." "Was there a church?" "No, a little tin hall, where they held services." "What data was It?" "Do you know, I've forgotten, ex actly. It was all such a rush, and we hurried back to Sydney. But It was somewhere about three weeks be fore my husband left Sydney on his flight." "The date of his departure was March 17. two years ago." the young man reminded her. "So It would have been three weeks before that about the end of February." (Copyright, ISJi. Coralie Stanton) Laurie ott n unexpected week, end Invitation, tomorrow.

They also ratified the 21st amendment to the national constitution. Wet and dry forces organized early this summer, but popular enthusiasm Is yet to be greatly stimulated. Adoption of the amendment would return Texas to a local option status, with the "open saloon" forever bar red. Legislators would define "open saloon." . Texans will decide August 24 If seemingly Insane persons may be committed to state hospitals for 90 days observation without a Jury trial. Far-Reaching Changes Sought , An amendment to allow submission of emergency constitutional amend ment at special sessions of the leg lslature also will be considered. Another proposal Is to allow Judges to suspend sentences. Sentences now may be suspended only by the Jury. Another much -discussed subject to be voted upon Is abandonment of a fee system of paying public offi cers. Free textbooks In private and par ochial schools as well as public schools would be provided under an other amendment. Six other amendment will be up to vote November 3, 1936. Included are proposals to allow a state mon opoly on hard liquor sales and to reduce salaries of major state admin istrative officers. Under the present schedule, part of the 1876 constitu tion, the gover-.or receives only 94, 000 a year. KERBY LEGION SENDS $25 TO CAPITOL FUND SALEM, July 25.
