But he had a temporary recurrence of hit old blindness upon lav dinp, hat found that he may in lim ffo completely blind, and does not tell Lauri. whom he loves, the truth. She believes he has grown cold; their tituation it en Innoled hi the innocent lie they told Mark Albery, their employer. It van that they were married, t.aurie uishea to tell the real equation to mt eriwne ; Hex ask that the icait until he ha flotcn the Pacific. Chapter 81 PARTING PLAN ;F course, I don't want to lee you found out!" Laurie's eyes blazed. "I made a bargain, and I'm prepared to stick to it Besides, I'm in ft, too! And, as you've so often pointed out, I've made a good thing out of It!" "You're a sport," said Rex. "Well, It's like this, I want to do the Pa rifle flight as soon as possible. At once. And I must have a free mind, fills mock divorce business will take '.ime. It's got to be a fool-proof plan, or we shall look like a couple of Idiots, as well as crooks. There's not a soul who would understand our position. "But I can't think It out, with the aclflc flight before me. Will you agree that we let It stand over until 1 come back?" His voice had the eagerness of a boy's. He loved her, but he was a man, and love could not be every thing In his life, and for the moment he was in the grip of a fixed Idea, His words fell coldly on her heart. "I don't want to Interfere with the Pacific flight," she said. "But I won't stay here any longer. It's not right. Why should we go on spong ing on Mr. Albory? I've got my own place to go back to. That's what I shall do." "Of course, as you please. Perhaps it would be better if we just met oc casionally at first. We don't want people to talk too much all at once, do wo? "I suppose not. Am I to tell Mr. Albcry?" "I leave that to you. Perhaps a bint would be wise. Always remem ber, when you're playing the end of this game, that it Is all my fault! He laughed again. Ha was on fire with jealousy of Albery, just as Al bery raged with Jealousy of him. "And you will tell Mrs. Steele," she suggested. "I would like you to do that And It would be a good way I of getting It about." The man gave a twisted smile at this piece of sheer femininity but he said coldly: "Yea, I will tell Mrs. Steele when I have fin opportunity. But I shall be grateful it you don't make It out an absolute break, Laurie." "AH right, then," said Laurie, and added quite gaily: "It'll be a great relief to get back to normal life." "Thank you," retorted Rox grimly. "You've been a brick. I'll get on to Albery and fix things up. You'll stay here the night?" "Oh, yes, I'll have to. Glad will be tired when she gets back from the show. And tomorrow Is Saturday and Mr. Albery won't be up, so I shall have all day to moTe. EX went to the telephone. Laurie went Into the kitchen. She was sure he would like some tea. He still looked grey and ex hausted and, In a queer way, dif ferent She had dispensed with Mrs. Budd after the early morning while he was away. "It's all right, he mild, coming Into the kitchen a few minutes later. "Albery was pretty beastly at first, because I'd not rung him up from Ireland, But, of course; he's glad that 1 did the flight. I'm to have the bungalow and start gottlng ready at once. So now the stage Is set again, Lnurlo, this time for the final cur tain!" He went Into his bedroom to pack his meager belongings In his shnbby suitcase, while Laurie got the tea. He drank two cups, as If he were thirsty, hut would not eat anything. "Well, I'll be off, Laurie! 1 sup pose we can both be trusted not to make idiotic mistakes. I'll write to you at your place, then?" "Rex," she snld suddenly, "there's one thing I'd like you to do tor me one of these days." "What's that?" He looked at her, his eyes lighting up with that eager franknens that she had known dur ing their queer comradeship of en mity. MEXICO TO TRY FIVE ON ASSASSIN PLOT MKXICO C ITY. Aiift. 13 I API Preparations went forward for the trial today of five men charged with trie attempted assassination ot President Larnrdo Cardenaa. Officials maintained a atrlct sec recy regarding the Identity of the prlsonera, but they were said to be members of ft band of seven, two more of whom were held at Parr. cuaro. It was reported In mtlltary circles that one of the prisoners was Ren- ben Oomes Pmrto of Jiqulipan MichoacAii. the president home town .

Stewart ay th cat la pretty much bewildered. "Take me up In a plane before you go off again." She spoke tlit words mechanically, as if they had been put into her mouth. It was an uncontrollable Impulse. A moment ago sae had not had the slightest Idea of wanting him to do such a thing. "Why, of course, I shall be de lighted," he said, looking slightly blank. "Have you never been up?" "Yes, once. Last year Mr. Albery gave a party to all the staff, and there were little Joy trips all day. I went up and I loved It And J would like to go up again. "Any time you like," he said. "I'll let you know when I can gel off. Of course, any Sunday." It was.a person in a dream who spoke, hut she looked quite natural. "Right, let me know, Laurie! I'D go and call the porter now to gel me a taxi." He came back and stood looking at her awkwardly. In his strange grey eyes struggled a thousand things that no words could express. What he did say was commonplace enough. "It's a nice hole, this flat, I think. But you'll be glad to get away." And, suddenly, he came up to her and laid his hand on her shoulder, and said In a hoarse, stifled voice: "I'm glad you're going away. I'm glad I'm not going to see you an; more like this. I wouldn't want you to be near me any more now I couldn't bear it! Good-bye!" And be was gone. LAURIE was working with Mark Albory in his room at the office, ten days later. The tlmo had slipped by, as peri ods of life do when the brain and heart are dazed by emotion. Laurie had had a largo amount of special work to do. end her employer had boon very little In London. Whon she first left the flat In Chelsea and returned to her own rooms, he had commented on It, but appeared to regard It as natural, now that her husband was at Grot ton, preparing for his great flight, and would he away for some time after he had started on It. He had bad very little personal conversation with her, seeming to be absorbed In business. But today, when they had finished. and slio was just getting up from her chair, he came swiftly towards her, with his graceful, cat-like steps, and laid his hnnd on her arm. "Don't go! I want to talk to you. I have been thinking of you night and day. I can't sleep for thinking of you. Why wouldn't you come down to Grotton on Sunday?" "I had an nppolntment that I couldn't break, Mr. Albery. It was very kind of you to ask mo." "Why won't you come down and stay nt tho bungnlow? You could do your work there Just as well. In fact, last weok you would have boon very useful to mo. And when I'm up here, any of the men can take my correspondence." "You did not say I would be use ful, Mr. Albcry. If I had known you wanted mo, of course I would have come. 'Don't you want to be with your husband?" Laurie felt horsclf coloring. The moment had come. It was the first opportunity to do what she and Rex had discussed. "Is there anything wrong between you?" he wont on. His voice was more toneless even than usual; hla face moro impassive. But his eyes gleamed between his half closed lids with a watchful fire. "Moore never mentions you. I've seen quite a bit of him. He gives me tho Impression that he doesn't want to talk, so I haven't asked him anything." Idiurle took tho plunge. "We are not sure that we are get ting on very well, Mr. Albery. We have decided to part for a time. I don't know why Rex didn't tell you. Of course, ho Is very busy. We have decided not to do anything definite until he comes back from his flight." . "You can't expect me to be sorry," he said. "Moore doesn't un derstand women. I have seen all the time that he makes you unhappy. And now I suppose he is carrying on with that old friend of his, Mrs. Steele?" Laurie shook her head dumbly. She could not find words to answer that. The very thought was like a knife In her heart.

(AP) Sen- ate and houe conference committee members gestured for peaceful con Krwslonal acceptance of the farm ad justment bill today by opening wider the doors of the courts to suits for recovery on processing taxes. With removal of this major ob stacle of acceptance by congress of the conference report on the AAA amendments, the measure will be put before the house Tuesday and sped to the senate later. An agreement was reached as pro cessing tax collections were cut sharply by the 899 pending Injunc tion suits In federal courts. The sl- uatlon caused some farm officials to repeat their belief of the necessity for an early decision on constitution ality of the AAA. June taxes, collected in July, drop ped more than (11,000.000 from the May total, and dally treasury receipts Indicated an even greater decline for July taxes being collected this month For June, 1935. collections were 30. 05O,2fll, compared with a total of 43,043,375 for June, 1934. 4 Tomato hales Brisk PORTLAND, Aug. 12.
