STEELE AGAIN GLADYS glgglod. She wai slimi In her facile emotion. '.Vital funny girl Laurls win! ?ncy bal ing been married to this mat before be left Australia, and never baring talked about blm at all. Wby. he was tbe most alive tiling sis hid ever come across! She had Ls most curious feeling herself. It was like being In a room with a bomb and never knowing when H was go tng off. The telephone rang. Moore bad a moment of curious panic tor a hero. He slgnod to Gladys. "Answer It, please! It It's a news paper man, say I'm not here and leave the receiver off!" "Hello!" said Gladys's light and clear but very ordinary voice. "Mr. Rex Moore? I'll see!" "It's a lady," she said, putting Jown tbe receiver. "Mrs. Steele." Rax went to the telephone with a heave of bis shoulders. "Roic It's you! Oh, what a lief!"- Wanda Steele's high-pitched voice, with the little drawl, and at the moment a throb of emotion. "I've Just seen on tbe tape-machine In the hotel that you're back. I bad to ring up. I wanted to be tbe Hrst one of your friends to greet you, and to say you herol" "Please, cut that out!" Moore gave a shamefaced laugh. "I'm feel- lng blue because I had to leave my comrade over In France. He did Just as much as I did. He's a splendid fellow." "You're much too modest. How proud your wife must be of you! Do give her my love." "I will when I see her. She's ou! to .dinner with a friend. You see, I came back unexpectedly." "Ob, then, you're alone? I suppose you wouldn't come round here, Just to have a little chat? It would be such a pleasure." Why bad be said that? He was furious with himself. And yet be found himself accepting Mrs. Steele's invitation, the last thing he :bad Intended to do. "Thank you very much, I should like to come for a few minutes. We must have seemed very rude the way we put off our dinner the other day." He turned to Gladys. It was a re lief to get out of the flat. He felt ineip!lcably shy of this lovely girl, ;with her great blue-grey eyes that 'looked at you so queorly, as it she could see right through you. From the first he didn't And her sympa thetic. He had an Idea that she could :be very nasty If she chose. He could .not Imagine her being Laurie's sis ter. "If Laurie comes In before I get lack, please tell her that I've gone round to call on Mrs. Steele at Clar fldge's Hotel," he said. Gladys gave her little giggling laugh. "You're one of tbe boys, aren't you? You don't lose much time." THE Interview with Wanda Steele was bound to be embarrassing. When he reached the hotel Moore almost turned back. But he had bet ter get It over. This woman must always have a call on him. He must always feel & worm in her presence. She looked radiant, all In soft grey, bor eager red Hps parted In a smile of welcome, her dark eyes de vouring his face. But almost at once she began to reproach him.' "Rex, how could you bare sent me money? Crude bank notes a thou sand pounds! It broke my heart. Do you think you could really repay me like that? And with such cold, bust-oess-llko words? I felt I could never lee you again. But when 1 heard ou were back tonight, I was too lad I couldn't help myself." She was not actually crying, but he held her lace handkerchief to her eyes. "Wanda, you must try to under itand," be said firmly. "I should lose sll my self-respect If 1 did not repay you what I can. Your care and kind nessthat is impossible.

Mr. and Mrs. Fom; w moving money you spent on me that I can do. Please don't make me say it again, but If 1 do not repay it, I am only a beggar and waster you took pity on. It's not fair to me. I don't suppose that was nearly enough. You must look on It as a first Instal ment. You must have spent a for tune on me." Rex Moore did not know women, ir he would not have said these tiilugs that made Wanda Steele bate blm almost as much as sbe loved ulm. "1 d.'n't fuel I can discuss It with yoi:," sbe answered, with a kind ol magnificent sorrow. "1 haven't the slightest Idea how much money wi spent. We didn't think of money neither Frdy nor L I gave tbi money you sent the other day to I hospital. If you insist on sendini more. I sb&ll do the same." "Ycu kfo unkind and unfair," ht said bngiily. "No woman Is evel Just." Sho Uughed miserably. "Is a man over truthful? How could you have kept me in the dark about your inatrlago all the time you ware witn ua In California! How unkind never to mention that you had a wife! And she must have thought you were dead all the time!" Itox Moore took fright. "1 behaved shumorully, I know," he said. "At flrot. I suppose I didn't remember anything about my lire. And afterwards you know how I felt my bllndnnHo. I only wanted to be dead to tho world. "You must be utterly heartless," she said somberly. "I suppose that's why you have such a bold over women, that's why you're still every thing in the world to me." "You will not understand," he said in a frustrated, discouraged voice. "T WILL understand, Rex!" Her face changed from sorrow to a smile of radiant tenderness. She drew nearer to him on the wide couch, her long, pale golden face alight with attraction, her deep dark eyes caressing him. She was a clev er woman, as be would never be a clever man. She was determined to get her way In the end. Sbe knew bow to hide her passion and to sbow him tbe sympathetic affection that she might show a brother or a friend. "My dear, I am too fond of you to let you go out of my life. You mean too much to me. I want only to for got the past. All that you said to me I will put out of my mind as the mad ness of a sick man. But I want to be your friend and your wlfo's friend. too. 1 want you to let me into your lives Just a little. 1 want to help you It I can. So tell mo that you will tor got the past, Rex, as I shall do." He was touched. "You are generous," he admitted In a dlfllcult voice. "But you are wrong about forgetting the past I can never forget what you did for me." He was thinking, miserably, but In a valiant effort to do the right thing "After all, 1 owe this woman my eyesight and my life. She haa done nothing against me, only for me. It's not her fault that I'm landed In this stupid mess. She can't under stand that If I don't repny her the money sho spent on me, I shall be less than a man. If she wants my friendship, she must have It. Things will be easier when Laurie and I don't have to keop up this game any longer. I shan't have to be acting every minute of my life." Wanda rallied him on his Intro spection, and made him tell her de tails of his recent trip Into the heart of Africa. Her eyes flattered him: her voire caressed him. She re stored him to self-respect. And then she guided tholr talk back to Laurie. "It's too had your wife was out tonight, but If you didn't let her know, it wasn't her fault, poor girl! am looking forward to getting to know her. 1 telephoned her twice In the first week you were away, but she was out. I didn't like to disturb her at ber office. I think It's so romantic that she1 should have been working for Al bory all the time. And last Sunday lwont to your flat Quite early, hop ing 1 could get her to come and spend the day in the country with me, but I found from the woman who was working In the flat that she and her sister bad gone down o spend the woek end with Mr. Albery."
