"It wu Just luck tbat we es caped yesterday. X only landed In tbe nick of time, and bang went the engine." "Ton wouldn't try U for a longer fllghtr "Not In Itf present ttata." "It's a pity. It would make such a sensation. I think you bad better put off the Pacific flight until we get - It right It would make such a huge difference to us both almost halve your time." R Moore looked gloomy. "I'm not at all sure tbat It's eyer going to be any good," he said. "It's too tricky anyhow, so far. Vou can't begin to tell the speed at wblcb It becomes dangerous. Yesterday, when tha first explosion happened, I was making much less than usual, owing to the wind. What can you do about tbat?" "Get Gerard to go on with his ex periments, my dear fellow." "Vou don't want to risk Urea, Mr. Albery?" "Of course not. We must hare pa tience and take every precaution, ss we always have done. And you're not ne to talk about risks, Moore!" "I should bate to put off the Pa cific flight," said the airman ungra ciously. "We'll think It over. Have a drink, Moore! Vou must be tired out I asked you to come up to me so late, because 1 was so anxious to know what you really felt about It, not having seen you yesterday." Albery got up and went to a table nnder a high window and poured out a whisky and soda for Rex Moore. It was an unusual kind of room, thia office of his In one of the greet buildings of the Orctton Airplane Factory. It was high up on a glass enclosed corridor that ran along one side of an enormous hangar, about txty feet above the ground. One reached It by a spiral staircase. Underneath was nothing but the huge space where the new planes were housed. The room wai small and furnished as a luxurious office, and Albery spent a great deal of bis time In It. He always liked to be on the spot, and often sat here reading and work ing for Into the night, his restless, Imaginative brain engaged on that entrancing vision of controlling the entire airways of the world. It was after eleven o'clock. Rex Moore had Just come back from town, where he had spent the day seeing to his passports and the transport of his plane to South America, from whence he was this time to start on the Pacific flight He had found a message at the bunga low, asking him to go to Albery'e office ss soon as he came hack. HE DID not want drink, as he had bad very little food all day and wanted to be up with the dawn. Anyhow, he loathed the Idea of drinking with Albery, who banded blm a tumbler and held up bis own. "Tou haven't congratulated me. Moore! 1 want you to drink to our happiness, Laurie's and mine. We may as well drop all humbug from the beginning. You know she has told me the whole truth about your little game, if I may say so, Mnore, It was rather stupid and not quite worthy of you." Rex Moore took a gulp at his glass. "I acted like a lunatic and a cad," he said harshly, his tanned fsce dark with disgust and humiliation "Vou mustn't be too hard on your self," Albery retorted smoothly. "Where you were wrong was tbat yon misjudged me. But I mutt give you credit for having shielded Laurie, when you might bate shown her up. But my dear boy. I'm sure this Is one of the affairs In which the less said the better. We'll forget all about It Only, 1 want to tell you that you can leave all the details to me. It you Jo exactly as 1 tell you. no more blame shall be attached to you than Is absolutely necessary. And what does that amount to when people all around yon are being dl vorced every day?" Rex Moore was trembling with rage and revolt He could hardly keep bis hands off tbat Inscrutable smiling face. He controlled himself with a mighty effort Laurie bad chosen. There wss nothing to b done. "Another drink, Moore!" said Al bery, taking his glass and Oiling it Tbls time Rex swallowed It at a gulp. He must get away, or some thing would happen. "I'll be getting along," be said. "I want to be up early." "Good night, my dear boy!" Al bery went to the door, and opened It All was darkness outside. "How careless, they've forgotten and switched off the lights downstairs!" be said. Tber were several systems of lighting In tbe buildings, In case of Are. "I'm staying on for a bit Can you And your way?" "Tea, thanks. I'll walk along th corridor and go down tbe staircase at tbe other end. The door Is always open." That was the wsy he wss In the babtt of reaching bis bungalow from Albery'e office. It was only a few hundred yards from the door of the big building. Albery went back Into his office and shut the door. Rex Moore hesitated for a moment when he found himself In complete darkness, but be could find his way along tbe corridor blindfolded. He was terribly tired. The scene with' Albery bad upset him. There was a loud buztlng In his hesd. Why hsd he had those two drinks? He hurried along. Ha wonld be glad to get to bed. And, suddenly, the solid groundl gave way under him. The floor of! the corridor was not there. He stepped Into a black abyss, with the sickening feeling of fslllng Into spsca. JN THE act of falling Into space, Rex Moore found himself think ing "This means death!" And In the same flash he saw himself Jerk ing Laurie back by ber coat collar wben she hsd nearly fallen out of the train at Liverpool station. And, with that memory, came sud den power and Inspiration. With a desperate effort, as of a drowning man, be lifted his arms and flung his body sideways, and It bit something solid. Half stunned, but with the strength of mortal necessity, he managed to get a. grip on a thick plank, and, with a mighty heave, to hoist himself up and to crawl, spread-eagled, several yards away from the open pit that had awaited hint in the blackness of tbe night He did not know tbat be cried out, but he must have done so, for the door of Albery's office opened In tbe distance, and Albery's figure became visible In a thin beam of light, , Moore could see, but he could not hear for a few seconds. His heart was ' beating In his ears louder thsn any engine. "Is anything the mattert" Albery shouted. "Is .that you, Moore T Did you call!" And Albery began to walk along the corridor. Then Rex Moore found his voice. "For God's sake, keep back!" he cried sharply. "There's a hoi here. I nearly went tliro2b; Rome of the boards are gone." 1 Albery gav vent to a shocked sx ctamaUon. "Ar you all right? Walt a min ute! Don't move! I'll go down and switch on the lights." The blackness vnnlshed In a glare of strong whit light that halt blind ed the airman tor a few moments. Tbon be slowly stood up and ssw what had so nearly happened to him. Prom th other side of the large gap In the flooring, about six toot square, Albery approached. Rex Moor had never seen his face showing emotion before. "Moore, what an oscape! How ever did you save yourself In th dark?" "I don't know. Instinct, suppose," said Rei grimly. They both peered down through th bole Into tbe great hangar, the cement floor of which was quite sixty feet below. The explsnatlon was sim ple enough, Tbe boards that bad been removed formed a trap door through which tbe workmen reached a narrow platform from wher they could Inspect th pulleys thst lifted th planes up to any desired height It th hangar should b too crowded to hold them all on the floor level. Some workmen bad evidently been using It and neglected to replace It (Copyright, tfii, Coralie otanten) Rfv Moore has a disappointment, tomorrow.
