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

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

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
