he would not be back until late.
Now he bad come In and found her

baling lta sharp, peaty scent, with
an aching of her throat and an an

tears.
She Just had presence of mind to
say lightly:
"This sleeve will eome out, If it
Isn't mended! I don't suppose you've
got anything here for me to mend It
With."
They looked at each other In em
barrassment. "I didn't know you had come
back," Laurie went on hurriedly.
"The porter told me. I came to fetch
my cookery books that I'd left be
hind." "I'm only here for a few days."
'He looked eager and tremendously
alive. As of old, she could feel the
strength pulsing from his fingers,
they sbook hands. He had Just
come from the eye specialist. The
great man's examination had had
the happiest results. Sir Gilbert said
.he was sure tbe danger of sudden
i blindness bad passed, for the lmme

"Is Mrs. Budd looking after you
'all right?" she asked, keeping her
voice with an effort to that light,
(artificial pitch.
"rES. thanks. But I don't trouble

Gretton tomorrow. Albery Is going
' to spend eevornl days down there
I suppose you know that. We are go

"No, Mr. Albery has not men

was working on the reports. Is It go

they made It snfi!?"
"That remains to be seen. It seems
a long time since we met, Ijiurle,"
be ertded abruptly. "More than a fort
night. Ilnve you begun your cam

"Not to any extent." she answered
eoldly. "Have you told Mrs. Steele?"

"No." His face was bard. "I't
thought of nothing but getting read;
for the Pacific. By the way, Laurie,
you haven't made that appointment
yet for me to take you up In the air.
Have you forgotten 7"
"I haven't forgotten." She forced
herself to laugh, but it was strange
bow, again, words seemed to be put
Into ber mouth. "Perhaps I'll ask
you to take me up when you try the

"You can ask for all you're worth,"
b replied. "I assure you that's not

with me."
"Then, some other time," she said,
still mechanically. "I'll ring you up.
When do you start for the Pacific?"
"At the end of next week, I hope."
The sunshine bo longer came
through the window To Laurie the
room grew suddenly dark.
"I must be getting off," she said,
picking up her books from the table.
But Rex Moore waa beside her. He
took the books from ber. His bands
were on her shoulders. His eyes were
full of lire.
"Laurie, I've learned something
since we parted tbe other day." His
voice was vibrant, full of such a surg
ing emotion that her heart seemed to
stop beating. "Ican'tllvewlthoutyou,
Laurie. I love you I love you, little
Laurie! Say you love me! We've been
a pair of fools, but It's not too late."
Mr, Albery, Rex."
DUT it was too late.
" Laurie swayed for a moment.
An Irresistible Impulse drew her to
him. As metal to magnet she was
drawn, drawn until his arms were
closing round her to fold her In his
strength, as in a tower.
But she started back with a sharp
cry.
"You are mad, Rex," she said. "You
don't love me. I don't love you. Wa
had that out the other day."
"I'm not mad. I was mad. Now I'm
sane. Laurie, you love me! You can't
tool me. I knew It that night. Walt
for me to come back to you!"
Again bis arms seized ber to crush
out her resistance. But this time she
sprang away, throwing back her
head, and managed to smile with a
pretence of lightness.
"Rex, I have done my bit. You tnld
me tbe other day I bad paid my debt.
You mustn't talk to me so wildly. I
am going to marry Mr. Albery."
He stared; his arms fell to his
sides. Ills face went grey.
"I see. I used to think you would
before I saw that he was in love with
you. I expected It until, as you
say, I went mad. Do you mind telling
me what he knows about us?"
"I told him the truth."
"What do you mean the truth?"
He was like a man turned to stone.
"That we were not married. Ahont
the trick I played on him snd on
you."
"Rut surely, he'd nover forgive
that! I told you, Lsurle, he'd never
stand being made a fool of. But he
has said nothing to me."
"He left It to me to explain, Rex.
He does forgive us for deceiving him.
And It will make no difference to
you."
The man gave a loud, hoarse laugh
of fury.
"Of course, he wants you so much!
He will forgive anything. And you're
going to merry him for his money."

OREGON, FRIDAY. XUGTIST 16, 1933.
By the rippling streams of music,
And I've watched Rogue River flow.
I've crossed tbe mighty ocean
And viewed the lakea so grand.
When It comes to genuine living
X choose this Oregon land.
For X see the natural beauty
That greets each dawning morn.
And I live again with nature
Where rare blooms her gowns adorn.
What's the use of Journeying
Or of seeing any other state?
I have found here peace and com
fort Oregon, Just close your gate.
