"You know 1 love you. Don't pretend! I am glad. I can't tell you bow glad 1 am. You must break with him at once. What's the good of waiting? Let him get on with bis Job. I'll still be behind him, for your sake. But you mustn't work any more. You must let me look after you." "Oh, thank you, Mr. Albery!" she faltered. "But I would much rather work. I love my work. I should hate to have nothing to do." "You will have everything to do what all women love to do, espe cially when they are loved by a man as I love you. You shall have every thing In the world, all the pretty clothes and Jewels you want. We will travel. You shall have a villa In He saw that she had a letter la her hand, and that she bad been cry ing. She must have been crying a great deal, for her soft blue eyes were washed out, and they looked through red rims at bim with an ex pression of violent revolt. "Please forgive' me," he said in his smoothest voice, regarding her with eloquent eyes, filled with con trition. "Your landlady told me to come up." . Laurie stood with her back to her quaint old dormer window on the ledge of which flourished geranlumi and cherry-pie. She was a flgure ol Icy dignity, and looked extraordi narily young. "I don't know why you should want to see me, Mr. Albery," Laurli said. "I have nothing to say." "But I have something to say," hi retorted. "And It will be worth your while to listen to me. I an very sorry about yesterday. I wai clumsy and stupid, and I don't won der I offended you. It waa altogethei a mistake. But now I want to talk to you about Rex Moore." There was no disturbing note li his voice. It was almost business like. It was certainly deeply respect ful and very friendly. T HE mention of Rex Moore'i name decided Laurie. "What have you to say, Mr. Al Next day, Albery't car the South, an apartment In Paris or P.ome where you like. Whatever you want will be my Joy to give vol'. ' Kilo gazed at him in speechless amazement. ".Mr. Albery, are you asking me to marry you?" Ho gave her a look that baffled her; ft was so full of some sugges tion that she could not grasp. "My dear girl, I'm not a marrying man. But I will give you a position In which you will be honored and respected by everyone you meet." She gave a cry and sprang from her chair. Before he could atop ber she was at the door. She clung to the handle and flung swift, wither ing words at him, ber eyes blazing. "How dnro you Insult me like that? I won't stay here another minute. I'm going and I'm never coming back. I ll nover set foot In this building gain." Her pa.icton of outraged fury was exhausted. She opened the door with diltlrully, white to the Hps, and went out of the room, leaving Albery star ing after her with uncomprehend ing, but baffled and cruel and merci less eyes. TJUT the next day, about ilx o'clock In the afternoon, Al ber.v's car purred up to the little tumble-down house In Westminster where his ex-secretary lived. It happened that the old and rheu matic landlady was standing at the front door, having Just parted from a visitor. "Is Mrs. Rex Moore at home?" Al bnry asked her.

You'll And Mrs. Moore. I'm afraid It's a bit of climb." Si It was that Albery came upon Laurie, unexpectedly and unan nounced, when, after knocking at the first door, he found her In her pretty, simple, flowery sitting room. purred up to the door, 4 bery?" she asked coldly. "And In what way do you mean that the unpardonable things you said to me yesterday were a mistake?" "I misjudged you. For you to un derstand me, I must explain that I know you are not married to Rex Moore." Her knees gave way and she sank Into a chair. "You know that? How?" "A young blackmailing Journalist came and told me. He had been making enquiries out In Australia, and there was no record of a mar riage between you. 1 taw at once that be had some grudge against Moore. 1 bought him off, because 1 didn't want any gossip about Moore, but I paid him to make more en quiries. You are not married to Rex Moore, are you? Unless, of course, you have married him since he came back?" She shook her head. She couldn't speak. "So, you see, there was a slight excuse for me, Laurie, as you had been living with Rex Moore as bis wife without being married to him" She gave t cry. "What do you mean? You knew this, and you never said a word to either of us! What do you think?" "My dear girl, what Is there to think? I suppose you had been fond of each other In Australia, and when you thougbt he was dead, you passed yourself off as his widow. And when he came back well, you were very glad to see him again, and carried "You are all wrong!" Laurl cried, almost choking with Indigna tion. I will tell you the truth not because of myself, or that I care what you think of me, but because he bad nothing to do with It at all. He did not know ma In Australia.
