PSGE SIX !MEDFOItD fATL TRTBIJyn, fEDFORI), OHEGON, MONDAY. "AUGUST 19, 1935. READY MADE WIF .QY CORALtE STANTON. SYSOPSlSt Fex Itoor hear the bitter new that Laurte ie marry' trig her employer, Mark Albery, at toon at the pretended marriage of Laurie and Fex can be disponed of. Rct diti-uesft hit proposed facifio flight u.ith Albery, who command 9 most of the air route of the world. Then he leave Albery' office high up in a huae hannar, and almost falls throuah a hole in the cattralk. Iter and Albery Hare at each other in horror. Chapter 31 DISAPPOINTMENT l CROSS the ilz foot gulf, the two men looked at each other. Hex 'Moors had. In his miraculous act of .saving himself, landed on the far ther tide. . "If anything had happened to you, my dear fellow, I should never hare jforglven myself," said Albery. "I am responsible for my men." 'Oh, don't worryl" replied Rex; and, Just to show that nothing hsd happened to him, be leaped over the opening and landed lightly by his employer's side. "Ton can give me nother drink. If you like," he said. "I could do with one now. And then :I'U get off to bed." Mark Albery sat on In his chair 'for some time after the airman had tone. There were papers In front of him on his desk, but he was not looking at them. There was a contemplative expression on his face. Ills eyes were Almost shut. The madness In his brain, fed by the accident, was increasing, was growing beyond control. While Rex Moore was alive, Laurie vould not glvs a thought to any ether man. lis knew that beyond a doubt It Rox Moor had fallen down on to the floor of tbe hangar, he would have been dead by now. He would have been out of the way. The next day Rex Moore again earae up to Albery's office in the hangar, and laid on his employer's desk a little bundle of bank notes. "This Is the other halt nt the money you lent me," he said. "Thank 70U very much." "You didn't take long paying It back. Rex," said Albery. Ha spoke with Indulgence, and yet a touch of sarcasm. It was the first time be had called the airman by his Christian name. It seemed as If the accident of tbe night before had changed their 'relations. "I've been lucky In getting seversl more articles to write," was the re ply. "Journalism seems a paying game." "When you're a public Idol, cer tainly!" remarked Albery, with genial cynicism. "It's a different story when you've got nothing but your bralna to sell. Try It, my boy, apart from flying!" "I know all about that," was the young man's quick rejoinder. "I owe It all to you. 1 couldn't pay for my Sights by writing about them." "I have told you until I'm tired of It that you needn't worry about anoney," put In Albery complacently. Then, hla voice changed. "You're worth far more than money. Rex. .You're an asset you belong to the aatlon to England." And, apart from the personal mad ness In his brain, he was speaking -the truth. He needed this man more than he needed any man upon eartb. 'And yet he wished hira dead. i'DEX," he added earnestly, "I I definitely want you to put off jthe Paclflo flight. I'm sure it will be best tor you, as well ss tor me. It you wait until we're quite certain about -the new fuel. If It comes oft, It'll be the biggest triumph for you. If. It doesn't, yon enn do the flight all the same." Rex Moore shrugged his shoul ders; his angry mouth looked petu lant as a child's. Rut, of course, be did know what It would mean to hlro If the now fuel turned out a success. He would be the first man to fly at a apeed hitherto believed Impossible. Although he hated this Inaction, he could not deny thnt It was worth walling for. "That's settled, then." said Albery "By the way, I didn't sack the chap who left the trap open Inst night You ssked me not to, for one thing, And It turned out to be Flood, the foremen of the hnngar. one of the men we could least spare, lie was In a terrible state when 1 told him what mlpht have happened to you."

Rex Moore was In London on tbt following Sunday. He rang up Mrs. Steele from the Chelsea flat, which he was still oc cupying, at Albery's urgent request, or, rather, command. Albery said it waa necessary for their plans that Rex should use it when In London, after Laurie bad left. Rex did not want to see Mrs. Steele, but he could never get over his bsd conscience where she wss concerned. He hsd behaved to her with auch rank Ingratitude. She was at home, and invited him to come to lunch, with that throb of emotion In her high-pitched voice that made him so uncomfortsble. '1 thought I was never going to, see you again," she said, when be arrived. But this time there wss no reproach In her voice, only un- ahamed delight, which made him feel very amall and unworthy. - He explained how busy be bad been, as they sat In the sitting-room of her luxurious suite. And then. realizing that he might have had the decency to pay her some slight at tention, such as sending flowers, or an Invitation to a meal and a show, he ended up awkwardly: "I'm afraid I'm not fit for civilised lite, Wanda. I must seem abominably ungrateful." "My dear, I know how you only live tor your Job," she answered gen erously. "As long as you don't try to pay me back what you think you owe me with money! That hurts too much. I have a terror of opening a letter again, like that last one you sent me!" HER eyes were misty; her Isrge, eager red mouth trembled, as she gave him a smile of pathetic ten derness. The man was touched. They talked ot all sorts ot things over the delicious and light lunch eon. Wanda skillfully led him on to his own subjects. He told her about his preparatlona for the Pacific (light, and sbe said she would love to travel to South America with him on her way home. Perhaps she could arrange It, as he wss having to post pone his departure. He did not tell her about hit ace). dent of the middle of the week. For some reason thst he did not quite understand, he would not allow him. self to think of It It waa too fan tastic, and at the same time too dull. He had looked death in the face many a time, but never In an tg- nominoua way liko that. It was not until the end of the meal, when the coffee waa bubbling In the glass globe on the table, and a box of cigars was laid by Rex's side before the waiters withdrew, thai Wanda Steele asked him the ques tlon ha bad been waiting for. "Is It true what one bears, that you and your wife have parted?" "How did you hear?" "From several people I have met. He gave a rather doletul laugh. "I didn't think we were Important enough." "Rut, of course, you are, Rexl Tin public Is wild for the slightest bit of news about you. I was very mucr surprised." "Yes, it's true. Tou see, It well It wasn't fair to her. I mean my com ing hack Ilka that. After all that ttnu without letting her know." "You mean she wanted to leave you!" "Of course. She was very sportlns about It She did her best." "What are you going to do get divorce?" "Yes. What else can we do?" "I see!" Wanda burst out indig nantly. "And you'll take the blame Rex, and she'll marry Albery." "I am to blame," he said simply. "How did you know sbout AlberyT" "Anybody with eyes could see thst he's crary about her. Anil, of course, he's a great catch for a girl like that!" She had slightly forgotten herself. She flushed and apologized. "I didn't mean anything against her, Rex. I know how chivalrous you are. And she seemed a nice, quiet little thing. But 1 can't help being angry with her for letting you down. "She hasn't let me down. Wanda. Please. I'd rsther not discuss It. We have agreed that It would be for the best to part."
