READY MADE WIF .BY CORALIE STNTON rni inir am BYXOPMS: Uarlc Albery Kha employe both Rex and Laurie Moore, Hom learned from Gavin Drake that Rex and Laurie are not married, at they had told him The deception originated became it teemed neceeeary to that Rex might hold hie job. Sate Laurie it telephoning Rex that the uill have dinner tcith Albery. The difficulty it that both Rex and Albert are in Im-e with Laurie, and the it in lots uith Rev. Chapter 21 ATLANTIC FLIGHT A ' hava m's"ae ,rom Mr Albery," Laurie went on. , "He want! ui to go down to Fen Gratton for the week end." "I can't do that," Rex Bald shortly. "I've got my friend, Alee Wade, from New York, spending the day, Sunday, t told you. 1 can't put him off. He sails early In the week. Tou can so, all the same." "Mr. Alhery makes rather a point ' of It. He's got someone he wants you to meet." "Can't help that." Moore's voice was almost rude. "All rlghL I'll tell Mr. Albery." It was well after midnight when Laurie came In. Rox was sitting over his maps. "Is Gladys back?" was Laurie's first question. It always was, "Yes, and gone to bed. You cer tainly have been working late." "I wasn't working all the time. It was so lato when we finished that Mr. Albery took ma to the Blysee to dinner and we stayed on for the cabaret It's an awfully good show.' Moore had been drinking strong black coffee In large cups, which was very bad for hia norves. "uo you tnink it wise to run around with Albery the way you do?" , Laurie stiffened. "I don't know what you mean. I can't refuse to work late when It Is Important. It's my Job. Mr. Albery offers to pay me overtime, but- I won't take It. He has done enough for me and for you." "I'm not suggesting that he should Bay for your company. You haven't got os fnr as that, I suppose," he retorted abruptly, with a steely glance from his grey eyes. "I merely , wondered whother It was necessary ior you to dine with him." "You are Insulting." "I am only suggesting that, under the circumstances, It would be wise, for a little while, not to be soon about so much with Albery. I don't like the Idea of my wife being talked about as a girl secretary her em ployer has taken a fancy to." I.nurto went crimson. "How dare you? What business Is It of yours anyhow? I'm not your wife" "You are supposed to be. You are living here wth me. As far as any body knows, we are a normal couple. Of rourae. It Is no business of mine." "I'd no Idea you paid so much at tention to appoarances." She was qulvorlng with indignation. "I don't like looking a fool," he answered brutally. "And while you are supposed to be my wife, I'd rather you didn't get talked about." "I know who's been talking!" she flashed. "Mrs. Steele. She was at the Roma the other day when I was lunching with Mr. Albery to take some notes from him when he was only up tor an hour or two. I saw her watching me. Of course, she's Jeal ous, because she's crauy about you, and she thinks I am really your wlto." It was the man's turn to grow rod In the face. Laurie had hit tin mark. Wanda Steele had suggested to him very delicately (hat his "dear little wife" was perhaps being a trifle In discreet. "I'm sick of It," Laurie went on, at white heat, "I'm going to quit to morrow. Tou can Bay 1 left you or anything else you like." TJUT the next day there was an--) other turn to their affairs. Rex Moore apent the morning with Albery at Fen Grotton, and came back late In the afternoon, to find Laurie packing her books. "You can stop that," he said. "I'm off asnln. You'll be rid of me for a week or two. Alhery wants me to try to lower the Atlantic record for the double crossing. He has heard that flruce Morris Is preparing ae crotly to make the flight, and he wants me to get in first. He says the Pacific can wait." He was elated. He was going to untold his wings again. He was rond-humored, almost friendly. "You don't need to turn out, do you?" he added, with a touch of compunction In his vuk I ragged you yesterday." She looked at him steadily. "You mean it would look bad 1. left the flat? That it would be dam aging to you?" "You might wait until I com back that's all I mean." He looked at her in the shamefaced way he had when he asked her to do any thing, rather like a small boy who knowa he la In the wrong. "After all, I can't annoy you when I'm not here." ' "All right," she said. Her voice was forbidding because she had to hide a little tremor in it. "When do you start?" "Tomorrow night for Ireland. The weather looks as If It will hold." Laurie turned away, putting her books back on the shelves from which she had taken them. His spirit was already In the air. He was not thinking of her. Rex Moore did not come back to the flat the next day until it was almost time for him to start All day long he had been making his prepa rations at Albery's private air Held. He found a tempting meal laid on the dining-room table, but Laurie was not In the room. Sbe came out of his bedroom with tho small haver sack that he was going to take with him In her hand. "Mrs, Budd is no packer," she said lightly. "So I packed your things myself. You'll have something to eat, won't yon? I'm scrambling some eggs the way you like them, with mushrooms. I'll go and fix them now," "Where is Mrs. Budd?" he asked. "I sent hor away. I didn't know how late you would be." he disappeared Into the kitchen. lyHEN she came back, with the ' dishes on her tray, Rex had changed Into his flying kit "I won't have you walling on me," he said angrily. "I can do all thai myself."' "That's rather foolish," she re torted evenly. "I'm fond of cooking Now, please, sit down and eat." She poured him out a cup ol coffee, with the thick cream that hi liked on the top. She ate very little herself. Whet he had flnlshed the eggs, she of ferod him fruit and a special llgh' sponge cake that she had made. They hardly spoke. Laurie seemet to have somothlng on her mind. "Is it dangerous -this Atlantb flight?" she said at last He laughed. "What ever put that into you head?" "All long distance flights must b dangerous." "Do you know the most danger ous occupation In the world?" h' anknd, with the mocking smile a the back of his oyos. "The one wltl the greatest percentage of casual tics? A plate layer on a railway." But Laurie was looking at hln with a curious concentration. "Rox, you're not using this nei fuel, aro you?" she asked. "What on enrth do.you know abou that?" ho countered. "I've had to do a lot of work li connection with It for Mr. Albery. I Isn't safe, Is it?" Ho looked Btartlod. "Has Albory talked to you aboui It? Why didn't you toll mo before?' "RecatiBe I know It's a secret Mr Albery asked me not to talk about It He asked me If you had told ma any thing, and I told him that you nevoi discussed your profession with me Rut 1 Just wantod to know." "Of course, I'm not using It Th tesfa oren't nearly satisfactory yet What a funny girl you are! I say, 1 shall have to get a move on. Al bery's car Is coming to take me to the airfield. Ho'a coming with me I suppose you wouldn't like to come?" "Oh, no"' Laurie said sharply. Thoy go; up and Rox Moore wenl to fotch his flying coat and helmet Ho found Laurie standing 'In the dining-room. Just whore ho had lefl her. She turned a white face to him. "I'm sure it's dangerous!" she said under her breath. "Why do you harp on that, Lau rie?" he asked. And then thore came a reaction so violent that his tanned face actually turned psle. "I don't understand," he said slowly. "It can't be that you care? 1 mean what becomes of mo? You hate me, don't you, for coming back and messing np your life?" "Yes. I hale you." she said hys terically. Copyright, ins, I'orofK Stanton) Tomorrow, contritions ire In order. SIX CHARGED WITH LOOTING OF VESSEL LOS ViCiELES.

Aug. 7. (JT The woman who "makes" mor mon ey than probably anyone else In the world, twirled a blue scarf that matched her eyes and speculated here today on how she'd spend a million dollars of her own if she had It. She Is Mrs. Nelle Tayloe Ross, di rector of the United States mint and former Wyoming governor, the first of her sex to be a state's chief ex ecutive. "You see.' she smiled, 'money Is an entirely impersonal thing to the people who work In the mint. It's Just like coal. We don't think of it as money. It's Just 'our Job' and so I've never taken time to wonder what I'd do with money If I had a lot of it myself. There are a great many ways to spend money, and I hope I'd find wise ones. I've 1 ear nee, however, to live for the moment, and right at this moment there doesn't seem any like lihood of me having a million dol lars of my own. so I'm not much con cerned over It." Acting as head of the mint Mrs. Ross finds even more Interesting, at least in some respects, than being governor of a state. "It's such a big Job, and the re sponsibility Is so large I think any one would be thrilled by it," she said. "Of course, I always will think of being governor of a state as about LISTS VACANCIES The army recruiting officer here announces receipt of a new list of vacancies for enlistment for the month of August, as follows: Hawaiian Inlands: Infantry, Field Artillery, Coast Artillery, Corps of Engineers.
