PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TEIBTTNE, MEDFOKU. OHECOX. THURSDAY, AUGUST 8. 1935. READY MADE WIF .Br CORALIE STANTON . RYSOPfilS: The innocent decep tion which Rex and Laurie Moore hove prartiefd ie coming to a cli mar. They hove pretended to be married eo that Rex mloht con tinue to hold hie job with Mark Albery. And although Laurie juet hoe told Rex, who ie leaving to try to lower the record for the Atlan tic flioht, that ehe hatee him it ie not the truth. The complication ie that Alhery ie in love with Laurie, and willing to do anything to take her away from Rex. Chapter 30 DECLARATION "'T'HEN why do you worry about danger?" asked Rex. "It wouK not mean anything to you If I never came back? Except that you could go on being my widow?" He laughed corntully, hardly able to believe what bad come Into bis mind. "No nothing!" She had her back to him. Her voice was strangled. Her shoulders were shaking. Rex Moore took a long stride, and turned ber round. She was as white as a sheet Her eyes were agonized "Laurie. It can't be that you care like that?" He crushed ber to him. His Hps were pressed to hers. His eyes, when he released her, and held her at arms' length, were shining, ardent. a lover's eyas, a conquerer's eyes. "Laurie, you love tnel" "I don't I 1" She tried to tear herself away. "You do. I love you, Laurie. You're the one woman. It was fate. It was meant to be. We've been playfng the fool with each other." "Let me go! Let me go!" She struggled feebly. It was against some power she did not understand. "We've been playing the fool," he repeated. "I love you and you love me. And that's all there Is to It." Again he drew her close. And this time she surrendered, and her lips clung to his, and In a great wave of ecstasy she did seem to lose herself altogether, and to be born anew. The door bell rang harshly In the tense atmosphere of the room, filled with human passion and Joy and pain. Rex Moore gripped Laurie even closer for a strange, silent moment: then let ber go. "That's the car," he said. "I can't keep It waiting. I must get off. Laurie " He looked at her with those brilliant, masterful eyes. "Isn't It the most beautiful thing In the world? Can you believe In lit Of course, we must believe In It, be cause It's true. Walt till I come back! Walt for me!" She was leaning against the wall. Slowly her face was composing It self, losing Its unearthly radiance. "1 think we're mad," she muttered. "I must go. We're not mad. Walt till I get back!" Another close embrace, desperate In Its tragic haste. And he was gone. Laurie beard the door shut. She did not move; tears ran down her face. She was In a new world. Rex Moore loved her. She loved him. He bsd gone, but be would come back This was what she had been born for. This was what all her life had led to blindly groping, searching. It had led her to Rex Moore, her man. From below came the sonorous hoot of Mark Albery's car, as the chauffeur drove off. Through her ex altation It atruck Laurie's ears wltb a note of warning and fear. She knew that without Rex Moore there would now be no life for her. She might be alive; but she would not live. "LAD, I'm worried to death," said Laurie three nights later, when her sister came back from the theatre. "What, no cable from your hero yet?" the girl asked teaslngly. "But you know he's pulled It off, old girl broken another record. He's being smothered with bouquets snd ban quets, you bet, and hasn't a minute to himself. You're a comic character all right, Laurie! Only the other day you were telling me you didn't know whether you were going to get on with Rex. And now you're worn to a shadow because you haven't heard from him!" "It Isn't that, Glad," said Laurie. "It's you." "Me?" "Look et this!" Laurie held out a letter, which the younger girl took and read. It was typewritten, and bore no address. 'Voee Mm. Hex Mooi know that ' hr d!5tcr Gladys goes nlout with a iwfl young man all th tlne, and Knee to his roomi alona after ttit how?' Gladys crumpled the paper Into a hall and flung It on the Door.

Bona MlU to-day. face was so contorted with anger that It seemed to lose all trace of beauty. "Well, you don't mean you take any notice of a thing Ilka this?" she cried shrilly. "Glad, Is It true?" Laurie's des perate anxiety forced her sister to show some slight compunction. "Oh, don't be so silly! Where did this beastly thing come from?" "The postmark is London, 8.E." "It's one of the girls, of course! There's more than one Jealous of me since I'm leader of the troupe." "But, Chid, Is It true?" "It must be one of the girls," Gladys went on, bent on her own train of thought "It couldn't be any body else. Must be somebody who knows you're my sister, and how silly you are about me." "Silly! Glad, how can you be to mean? Is It true?" "Well, of course. I go out with a boy sometimes. What flal doesn't? Aren't you often having meals with Mr. Albery? You're a nice one to carry on like this!" "Glad. Is It the same young man you told ma about?" Yes," the girl said, telling the truth and lying at the same time. ' But you told me the other day he'd gone abroad!" "Yes, but he's back." ' "You said you'd bring hlra here. to meet me. I know. But he hasn't bad time yet He's back In London on busi ness." Tbe cruellest thing of her lite hap pened to Laurie then. She knew for certain that Gladys waa lying to ber. That Gladys meant to lie to her. And she didn't know what to do. SHE realized that H was no good scolding. She must try other methods. "You might be strajght with me. Glad. I don't want to pry Into your affaire. But even nowadays a girl doesn't go to a young man's rooms alone. You don't deny It. And I don't want to be nasty, dear, but It's risky to go about with a man In a different position In life." 'Oh, bang It all. I can't help It If be has money!" cried Gladys. "And I've only been to bis rooms once. And some Interfering, Jealous cat must have followed me. I'm ashamed of you, Laurie, taking notice of such a disgusting letter!" I wish you would let me meet him," said Laurie quietly. "Has he asked you to marry him, Glad? Do you mind telling me that?" "He can't marry for a bit. Hla father won't let him. He's got to make good In business. But I don't mind waiting. I'm not too keen to get married at once. I want to have lots of tun. I'll bring him along soma day. If you promise not to scare him stiff." But Laurie knew Gladys didn't mean ber to meet this young man. She said nothing more. She must try to get the girl to trust her. It was the only way with Glad. But she was full of foreboding. Also, she was full of confusion. That last scene with Rex Moore was like a dream. Like a dream that some times Is more real than life. He loved her. And yet she hsd not heard a word from him directly, although he had made a new and magnificent record flight. Her news came from Albery and from the papers. That was all. The next day was Sunday. Jimmy Dallas drove Gladys back from their favorite haunt on the river, and drew up at the door of the building at the back of St. James' Street In which he had his chambers. "Come up for a cocktail. Flower face!" he Invited. "I'd better not," the girl said. "I've got to go out to dinner wltb Laurie tonight. Coudn't get out of It." Gladys was by no mean a tool, although she waa crazy ahout Jim my Dallas. The anonymous letter to her sister had made a great Impres sion on her. It was simply loathsome to be watched. She determined to make It her business to And out who was doing It. Anyway, she decided, she wouldn't go to the young man's rooms sgain. Just for a few minutes, cutle!" he urged. "I'm sure you're In need of a drink. Same here!" She could not resist those merry, luring brown-green eyes, with their wlll-o'-the-wisp lightness and frivol ity, and their power of making her follow, follow, wherever they wanted her to go.
