Chapter it
GLADYS AGAIN
r
T ATJRIE shivered with sad mem'
-' orjr when Albery used the Berne
phrase as Rex Moore had done. She
felt like something of no Importance,
tossed from one band to another.
Fool-proof story to get rid of her
fool-proof story to get her. She had
sold herself Into bondage, and she
was terrified.
"And, of course, at present, you
must stay on at the office, for the
sake of appearances. We can keep
In touch that way. Moore will get off
on bis flight as soon as possible. And
then we can plan our little summer
holiday, you and I."
His smile, so outwardly charming,
lighting bis Impassive face Into
Tirile life, made her tremble.
"Then, that's all fixed up, dear lit
tie girl!" be said. "And now I must
get off. I've got a business banquet
tonight, worse luck!"
He took her In bis arms. She went
Icy cold under his passionate kisses.
A traglo figure, a shrinking victim
of the man she loathed, but to whom
he had given the right of posses
ion, because she could not help
nerself.
'. Laurie had been spending Sunday
with her newly-married girl friend
from the office out In the suburb
.where she lived, almost on the fringe
of the country.
The tube train took ber back to
Piccadilly Circus, and she started
out to walk back to Westminster by
the pleasant route of St. James's
Park. It was such a lovely mellow
Bight.
There was nothing to go back for.
Gladys was not at home. The troupe
tad goue to the outlying Surrey
towns for three weeks, too far for
ber to come home every night.
Mark Albery was In Paris over
the week end, much to Laurie's re
lief. He had wanted ber to go with
. blm. There had been a scene, but
(he had made a Arm stand. It was
amaslng, even to herself, what
power she had over blm.
Around Piccadilly ' Circus was a
stream of traffic unusual on a Sun
day night. But everybody who could
bad spent the day In the country. As
she was about to cross the Circus,
Laurie was held up as the traffic
was let through.
A taxi came along and slowed
down for a few moments. Us occu
pants caught Laurie's eye. A young
man In evening dress sat on the side
nearest ber. Bhe remembered. Of
course, It was Lord Dagenbury's son,
young Dallas, whom she and Gladys
bad met at Fen Oretton. She had
taken a dislike to blm, and what
Albery had told her of him had not
made her change her mind.
Suddenly be moved, and a girl's
head appeared beside him, leaning
forward. Laurie's heart gave a loud
knock. Gladys's lovely little hoad,
bare, the dim light on ber glorious
dark golden curls. Gladys, dimpling
and smiling, In evening dress, an ex
quisite bunch of orchids on her
shoulder, from which the light wrap
bad fallen.
He bent towards ber. The taxi
mgved on, shot away, leaving Laurie
rooted to the spot.
LAD and young Dallas! What
was she doing with him at this
time of night In a taxi, when she was
staying In lodgings at Guildford? It
was past ten o'clock now. She must
have come from Guildford, dressed
for the evening, and be going back
there,
Oh, If only Glad would confide In
ber! Laurie tried to reason with her
self, as she walked on. After all,
there was nothing out of the way In
going out to supper on a Sunday
night with a young man. But Glad
had not said she had met young Dal
las again.
And there was the fear that was
always subconsciously gnawing at
her heart. If anything should happen
to Glad!
She had a vision of the young
man's blunt, blurred face; his eyes,
as she remembered them, green and
frivolous; bis bat ears standing out
It would not let her sleep.
The next morning she had a tele
gram from Albery from Paris. He
would not be back until the evening.
He would call and take her out to
dinner.
She decided to go to Guildford.
She could not rest until she had seen
niart.
When she arrived at the girl's
lodglug, she was told ber sister was
at the theatre for a rehearsal.
So that was true, at any rate. It
was a slight relief. Laurie could not
bring herself to question the land
lady about when Glad had come
home last night. She walked to the
theatre.
The stage was set for rehearsal,
when she reached the theatre, and
the auditorium was in darkness. As
Laurie groped ber way, the manager
met her, and recognized her, telling
ber that her sister was about to re
hearse a solo dance.
They had engaged a special
dancer, but she bad fallen 111, and
manager expressed great satisfac
tion with the girl's performance,
and Installed Laurie In a seat ts.
watcb.
Laurie was frankly enchanted.
Gladys was wonderful. She was
ethereal, distant, alluring, and just
touched with a haunting madness In
the final bars. '
The manager came back to
Laurie's side after directing a few
alterations in the dance.
"This Is only the second rehearsal,
Mrs. Moore," he said proudly. "Da
you know, I think your little sister
has a touch of genius? What Gladys
really needs Is a year or two of bard
study and practice, both at home and
on the Continent She would make
a big name."
"She shall If she wants to, when I
am married to Mark Albery," said
Laurie to herself, with quiet bitter
ness.
"WHY, Laurie, old glrll" cried
Gladys on seeing ber sister.
She sounded rather extravagantly
pleased. "What on earth are you do
ing here? Come to see me rehearse
specially? What's the office doing
without you?"
I want to talk to you, Glad. Come
and have lunch In some place In the
town."
"Thanks muchly! I can do with
something tastier than Ma gives us
at the digs," the girl said, still with
a touch of ostentatious gaiety. "But
what's up, really?" she went on, as
they walked away from the theatre.
Glad, I saw you last night In a
taxi with that young Dallas," said
Laurie abruptly, awkwardly, speak
ing as If she were sshamed of her
self.
Me!" exclaimed the younger girl.
"You saw me with whom?" She
turned eyes wide with amatement
on her embarrassed sister.
With that young Mr. Dallas we
met at Fen GreUon, Lord Dagen
bury's son."
"Where may t ask?"
"In Piccadilly Circus."
"Did you say In a taxi?"
"Yes. I was coming back from
Nora's place. The traffic was
stopped, and your taxi pulled up lust
In front of me. It was about ten
o'clock. Oh, Glad, don't deny It!"
"Not guilty!" said Gladys coolly.
Did you have some drinks al
Nora's?"
Glad, don't play with me! It was
you you know It was."
"But It Just wasn't, old girl. I'm
sorry, I must have a double."
"Glad!" Laurie's poignant voles
fell on deaf ears. Do you mean to tell
me you were not with Mr. Dallas last
night that you've never met him
since that time at Fen Gretton?"
That's exactly what I do mean,"
Gladys replied.
"Glad!" said Laurie again, utterly
discouraged, as her sister turned
that drooping, sullen look on her.
"But I could have sworn It was you."
"You must go about looking In
every cab, I should think!" Gladyi
replied belligerently. "For goodness'
sake, Laurie, when will It dawn on
you that I'm not a baby and can look
after myself? It wasn't me you saw,
and that's that."
Laurie said nothing more.
They ate a nice meal without pay
ing any attention to it, both busy
with their thoughts.
When they were out In the street
again, Laurie aald quietly:
"I must have made a mistake,
Glad. But I'm glad I came. Your
dance Is lovely. You're going to do
big things."
"I hope so, Laurie. I love It. I just
want to practice, practice all the
time." This was genuine enthusi
asm, and all the way to her lodgings
Gladys talked of her wprk.
Her chum, who was rooming with
her, was In the little sitting room,
having Just finished her meal.
"Nelly," said Gladys loudly, and
with a ringing laugh, "please put my
sister right! Where was I last night
at ten o'clock, dear?"
"Why, here, Glad!" answered the
obedient Nelly.
