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.

SALEM, July 3. ( AP Governor
Martin today expressed gratification
in the announcement from Wash
ington that the public works admin
istration had allocated 11.000.000 for
the construction of the Wickiup dam
on the upper Deschutes river as a
supplemental reservoir tot Irrigation
In central Oregon,
so yellow, wltb bis neat face and lit
tle black, bird-like points of eyes be
hind the thick glasses. "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."

only prohibition proposal ever to car

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.
