Chapter 88
ALBERY AGAIN
"IT'S by no means aafe yet," (aid
Rex Moore to Mark Albery, dfs
nisslng the new fuel, a couple of daya
later. "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

Rfv Moore has a disappointment,

FATE OF TIMBER
IN FIRE REGIONS
V the Asmriatett press
The fate of additional thouaands
of arres of timber reAted today on the
caprlc of the wind goda.
Along the far-flung forest fire front
from the west coast to the Rock lea
came chee r 1 ng word to t he wen ry ,
smoke -aatura ted fire fighter: "The
situation la controlled unleae new
winds spring up."
Only one fire front In fire name
plagued atfttea failed to report favor
ably today. It wis the Shoshone na
tional foreet, Just outelde the east
entrance to Yellowstone park In Wyo
ming. Brisk winds, at last re porta, were
fanning the flames after blackening
12.000 acres of virgin timber in the
forest preserve.
The outstanding triumph of the
prolonged battle In the north west
"firebox" wsa in the Abs&roka. range
In southwestern Montana,
A favorable shift of wind tempor
arily checked the wild fire which hid
stret-rhed to a circumference estimat
ed at 3A miles. An estimated 4.000
acres of timber were reported de
stroyed. A heavy toll of animal life was
feared. Already 60 burned carcassea
were counted In the burned area.
