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

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.

A survey by the Associated Press
Indicates ea-ch of the 11 states enjoy

most uniform bulge In state gasoline
tax collections of around 10 per cent
as compared with a year ago.
National parks, dude ranches and
