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

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.

EARLY DECISION
HELD
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. (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.
