8YNOPB1B While Bern Uoor;
the airman, ie away on a spectacu
lar flight Laurie Uoore ie foolish
enough to give an interview to an
Australian newspaper man about
her "'marriage" to Rex. The truth
ie that eho and Rex are not mar
Tied, but that because ehe called
herself hie widow when ne wae be
lived lost in the Paeifio, ehe must
pretend to be hie wife now that he
rrie returned so he may hold his
iob with Mark Albery, who em
ploys them both.
l A NO, of course, It was kept
dead ecret?" aaked Mr.
Drake.
"They aaid rumors got about,"
replied Laurie, "but we wanted to
keep It a secret until be came back."
"I understand. You were afraid
of tba press. It wasn't their bust
Bess. It Is extremely kind of you to
tell me all this," he said grate
fully. "1 wish you could remember
the name of the minister who mar
ried you. But, of course, they can
easily find out. Somebody from the
office will make a little pilgrimage
cut there, ilow far did you say It
was from your old homo?"
Laurie prayed for the return of
her wits as she bad nerer prayed
for anything before.
"About twenty miles."
: "And the name of your old house?'
"Ferndew Farm on the Targatta
Road."
"Do your people still lire there,
Mrs. Moore?"
"Oh, no! My father Is dead. My
mother died long ago. My only sister
Is here with me. I have nobody left
In Australia."
"And you were In Sydney when
you heard the sad news of your
husband s crash?"
"Yes, 1 stayed on there."
"And after your husband's sup
posed death, you revealed yourself?"
"Yes." After that It was easy
nough to repeat the recital that
she had made so often, of her dis
covery by the Albery Arm, and her
voyage to England through their
kindness, and her subsequent work
In the London offices.
Then the young man asked a
question that roused her temper. ,
"Could you Just give me a few
words about how you felt when you
had the news of your husband's re
turn the other day?"
"No, I certainly could not!" she
flashed, and the young man ans
wered In a rebuked voice.
"Of course, I Quite understand.
Such moments are sacred and can
not be revealed to the public."
HE got up and thanked her and
took bis leave, and left her
hardly able to stand and biting her
Hps in an effort to force back an
attack of hysterics. Her common
souse had entirely deserted her.
How could she have been so mad?
What could she do to stop that
youug man? Nothing! She could
hardly even remember what she had
told him. but sbe know that they
were a pack of clumsy lies.
Why hadn't she said they had been
married In Sydney a big town,
where she was a stranger? She
might easily have forgotten all de
tails about that. But near her own
home where they would go and
make Inquiries! She had made a
hopeless mess of things. She had
given the whole show away.
Well, It was Rex Moore's fault,
she told herself, and worked herself
Into a state of Indignation. He
ought to have thought af such a
thing. He know all about newspaper
men. He ought to have prepared her
with a proper packet of Ilea.
Dut when she was In bed that
night In the flat, and everything was
quiet and dark, she lay and saw Hex
Moore's snowy eyes staring at ber,
and his angry mouth smiling mock
ingly, and his Impatient shoulders
shaken with that brusque gesture
of contempt She was terribly
afraid.
MARK At.RKRY did not come to
the office for the next three
diyi. He was at his country place In
Cambridgeshire. According to a cus
tom of Miss Dixie's time, Laurie
could have stayed away altogether.
But she haa a lot of notes to tran
scribe and papers to arrange and
file, and she worked each morning.
Gladys was out In tbe mornings,
but came back to the mld-dny meal.
They had not started rehearsing
yet but she wont to the practice
room that the manager had hired In
a tall old building neor Covent Gar
den. Laurie was more at ease about
Olad. There waf no sign of the
young man who had given her the
cicarel case. In the afternoon she

took her sister Into the parks, and
they stolled among the flowers and
listened to the band. And In tbe
evenings they went to tbe pictures.
Laurie wanted to keep Glad amused.
And then, on the Saturday morn
ing at, breakfast, came a surprise.
Mr. Albery rang up from Cam
brldegshlre and Invited Laurie and
Glad to come down for the week end.
He excused himself tpr perhaps
spoiling his secretary's plans, but he
found that he would bave to get In
some work in the mornings. It would
bo very kind If Mrs. Moore would
give up her Sunday. The work was
important. There were one or two
people staying in the house, and he
would see to it that Miss Gladys was
kept amused.
Laurie was excited and pleased.
The keen edge had worn off tbe
extraordinary scene In the office of
"Glvo me luxury," mid Gladys.
last Tuesday. She had uot seen bei
employer since. Sbe bad thought
about It, of courso; not once, bul
many times.
Mr. Albery had told ber that he
loved bor. No iflrl could forgot sucb
a thing as (bat. Hut she had decided
that there must have been something
the matter with him. Perhaps inea
were like that. Thoy had tits of
"coming all oer amorous" as the
catch-phrase wont.
Laurie knew absolutely nothing
ubout men for a girl who bad
knocked about the world as she had.
But she was no fool, and during her
two years of loneliness In her little
Westminster attic, she had read an
enormous number of books of all
sorts.
So she thanked Mr. Albery calm
ly, and she and Gladys packed their
suitcases and were rendy when the
princely, silent motor came for1
them.
Give me luxury!" said Gladys toi
herself, as she tripped down the
broad, shalUftv-steppod oak staircase
of Mark Albery's historic Tudor
house.
It was nearly eight o'clock, at
which time dinner was served.
Gladys bad left Laurie up In her
bedroom, hastily changing her
clothes. Laurie had been working
with Mr. Albery nil the afternoon.
Something very Important had hap
pened Just before they arrived.
Laurte bad sent Gladys down, be
cause she could not bear to be
watched when she was In a hurry.

APPEAL LOOMS IN
PAY TEST
SALEM. July 26 (AP) The gov
ernor'a salary test suit, dismissed by
decree of Judge L. G. Lc welting yes-
tcrday, will probably after all be ap-
pealed to the tvprrmo court, Rodney
Alden. Woodburn publisher and at-
torney for the plaintiff, Ed Jory,
said here last night.
Intimations here yesterday, after
Lcwelllng had held that the gov
ernor was entitled to receive more
than $1500 a year, were that the
caae would not be appealed due to
the clarity of the Judge's opinion.
The suit was brought by Jory to
test the validity of tlie governor's
present salary of 7600, less legisla
tive reductions, the plaintiff con
tending that under the constitution
a salarv In excess of a 1500 was pro
hibitive.
