PXGE ETGHT MEDFORD-MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORU, OREGON, TUESDAY. AUGUST 6. 1935- READY MADE Wlft BY CORALIE STANTON- M :.'OPSIS: Laurie and Asj ,j--r have on' pretended to be i '.nrried, to that Rex may hold down hia job with Mark Albery. lint now Gavin Drake has cabled Australia, where the wed din 0 tcai fipposed to have taken place, and 1 Jouvd there was none, lie tries blackmailing Rer, clthnut mcceta. Xaw h has none to Rer'e employer, u-ho has indicated that he tcilt littrn to hie atory, Albery ft? love u;Uh Laurie. Chapter 28 SILENCE BOUGWT "AS I understand you are behind Moore, air," Drake went on, "and financing him, I feel you ought to know that he Is deceiving you and everybody else who has been making Fuch a fuss over him. He Is making a fool of all the world. He Is not married to that girl he is living with. He never was." 111, "Indeed!" Albery showed ofaly faint surprise, "Are you sura of that, Mr. Drake?" "Positive. I had my doubts all the time, since I came over from Aus tralia. My paper would naturally have welcomed a story about Rex Moore. So I cabled a friend In Syd ney to make enquiries, and the answer Is that there is no record of any marriage between Rex Moore and any woman, either in Sydney or anywhere in Warrabtllo County, where the bride was supposed to have been living." "Dear me, that Is certainly strange Albery had got the hang of It by now. He knew that the young man ban been to Rex Moore and been heavily turned down. His own mind was immediately made up. "I sup pose you have evidence that you can give me?" "Certainly, sir, I consider It a shameful fraud on the public. Moore has dragged this young woman Into decent society under false pretences. Why. I am told that she baa been working in your own firm for years! It seems a disgraceful business all round. I did not feel It right to leave you in the dark." Ho handed Albery a bundle of papers. "Here are my friend's statements by cable." Albery examined them with ap parently absorbed interest But his mind was busy with his own affairs. This might be true, or It might not It probably was. This unpleasant young man evidently bore a grudge against Moore. He must have gone to great trouble and expense to get these farts. "T OOK here, Mr. Drake." he said. after a few moments, with the quick smile that gave such charm to bis Impassive Eastern face, "I am glad you came to me. I suppose your Idea was naturally that you might turn It to your advantage and raise the circulation of your newspaper by sending them a most Intriguing story?" This was not true. The young man's one idea tonight had been to damage Rex Moore In his employer's fight. But Albery's words presented another possibility. "Well, sir, things have been going badly with me," he stammered. "You see. It's not so easy for me to get work." llo mentally Indicated his empty sleeve. "A really good scoop would be a great thing for me. but. of course, I can t say I'd really thought of that." "1 am glad you came to me," talc Albery suavely, "because I am mors Interested than most people In Rex Moore and his career. For the mo ment I don't want his activities In terfered with. You see, his private life cannot affect his Job. As a man. Mr. Drake, you must understand that "I am expecting him to do some good work for me and for aviation In general. But I quite see that you could have profited materially by your Information In giving It to the Press. Nothing pays like a good scandal nowadays. So that I am pre pared In fact, I feel I owe It to you, Mr. Drake to maka up to you for your loss. "In return for your promise not to mention these facta about Rex Moore to the press, or to any Indi vidual, In print or by word of mouth, I will pay you what you might have expected as remuneration at the mo ment. How much would that be?" "Well, I really couldn't say, sir. I'm sure you're very kind. I don't like taking money, but I've had a bad time." "Shall me say two hundred pounds, Mr. Drake?" "I'm sure It's very generous, sir." "And," added Albery very delib erately, "I shall bo glad of any further Information on the subject I will make It worth your while. Now, I hope we U"deratand each other. You can ring ma up and make an appoint ment at any time. I expect you would prefer notes to a check. I think I have enough In my sate. I will go and fetch it" A FEW mlnutea later the black mailer waa gone. A sorry creature, reflected Albery, but ha would have made use of the devil himself In such a cause. If his story was true, then, Laurie Moora was a liar and a cheat. She had been associated with Rex Moore In Australia, but the rumor of their marriage was untrue, and when she thonght he waa dead, she had posed as his wife, In order to make as much as she could out of It And Moore, when he came back and found her In England, bad for given her the deception, becausa it suited him. That did not make her any less desirable In Albery's eyes. It did not cool the flame of bis passion for her. In fact, It brought her nearer to him. even though ha knew that she loved Rex Moore. In spite of his In fatuation, ha did not want to marry her. If thla were true, then it gave him a better chance. Against Rex Moora bis account was piling up. Rex Moora had made a fool of him. Rex Moore had the woman he wanted. , His self-esteem w-as wounded, and It made him pitiless. From that moment the Idea took root In his mind, and from that moment his whole energies were bent to carry It out Fixed, Implaca ble, merciless; It became an obses sion. Rei Moore must be got out of th way. Rex Moore answered the telephone in the Chelsea flat about six o'clock In the evening, a few days later. "Is that you, Rex? Laurie speak ing. I shan't be able to get back tor dinner. Mr. Albery has to work late." Moora frowned at the Instrument fOplrtpM, .15, CorclU iwlnl g.ta a difficult Ignmint, , Monday. LAND RETIREMENT WAPHINOTOV.
