BYXOPSIB: Rem and Laurie low each other, but email thinoa have a'porated them. This ia their aitu a'.ion. Both work 'or Mark Albery, the airplane manufacturer. Laurie hoa promised to marry Albery, to hrlp Rex with hla career. Hex la boring lunch wtth a Wanda Steele, whom ha owes much, but whom he eannot love. And Wanda juet haa told Hex that aha knowa of hia and Laurie's estrangement. Chapter 4ft REX'S PROMISE "T BELIEVE In you," Wanda said. "I know that you'd never let t woman down. I'm a tool about you, Rex. It's no good disguising It For ma you can do nothing wrong. As I've told you before, I always think a little tiny bit of you must belong to me. Perhaps a bit no bigger than a drop of water in the Pacific but Just that!" It was touching. She showed her adoration of him with a simple pathos that put him to a kind of fiery shame, and left hla heart cold. It was as If he must do something to please her, to show that he was not so crassly ungrateful as he seemed. He owed her everything his lite, his eyesight. For the millionth time he repented it to hltn5lf. He knew "Wanda," he said abruptly, "you have been so incredibly good to me. I am not worth It. But, If you would care, when all this is settled, to be my wife, I should be deeply hon ored." A lame proposal. But the woman's face became transfigured, as she rose: from her chair and came towards him, ewaylng slightly. "Oh, Rex, my darling, you shall never regret it!" she murmured, as she fell into bis arms. "OU have apparently been very foolish, Laurie." said Albery, in bis London office the next morning, as she came In as usual to do hit work. "You have been seen with Rex Moore since you left him. The porter at the Chelsea flat told me you had been there alone with Moore the other day. Surely you're not such a fool at to think you can eue tor a divorce from blm and be seen with him at the tame time?" "I didn't know he wat there," Laurie answered. "I went to the flat to fetch soma bookt I had left be hind." "Well, be more careful In future." Albery epoka angrily. His raging Jealousy never gave him any peace. "It might spoil everything. I am Just finishing up this particular business with Brazil, and then you and I will -' away and get married and leave Wanda had seen the whole of the world. that she would not change, even If he were to go blind again. Ha looked at her, titling there In her soft ivory crepe dress, with the priceless old lace frills tor sleeves, and the rosy cream pearls on her white neck: with her long, pale face, powdered with faint golden freckles: with her smiling lips, and dark eyes glowing with love. She was attractive enough In her sophisticated elegance. She knew all about life and men, and how to treat them and make them comfortable. She had the charm of experience. She had seen the whole of the world. She was Intelligent, and artistic, and spent her money without osten tation or extravagance. She had no glaring faults. She- was older than ho, but not much. She wne, in fact, supremely a woman of the world. But the was Just not the woman for him. And that said everything. It was to his pity that she ap pealed. Against him she was defence less. Her lonely heart was reaching out to him as the only thing she asked of lite. Well, did It matter what became of him now? TIE had done with the emotional side of life. Romance did not ex ist Love and human passion were de luslons. Laurie had trembled In his arms, had clung to him. had denied with her lips that she loved hlra. while tho whole of the rest of her being told him that she did. What mattered that? She had chosen. She waa going to marry Mark Albery at once. She wanted money and position. She was false and hard and mercenary. She had not only made a fool of him, but low ered him In his own sight This woman gave him back his lelf-respeet with her flattering eyes. her caressing words. Wanda Steele was asking nothing of him. Only irantlug to give him everything. He got up and walked to the win low, with a curious Instinct, putting greater distance between them. England, and you certaluly won't coma back until Moora has started for South America, The only thing for you to do la to disappear for a time. You'ro quite clever enough to understand how difficult this Job Is going to ba and how carefully It haa to be done." "1 do understand. I don't know how you're going to do It!" blurted out Laurie In a miserable voles. "You can leave that to me. Do your own bit, my dear girl. And that la never to tee or speak to Moore again." Later on, when he came back from lunch, he told her a piece of news that caused her a fresh pang ol anxiety. "I lunched with Dagenbury. He's in a terrible etew over that hoy ol hit. D'you remember Jimmy Dallas, you met blm at Fen Qretton? 1 asked him over to amuse your sister. There's evidently been a dust up in the family. Jimmy Is a bad lad, and It's got to his father's ears that he't been carrying on with some chorus girl up here. Of course, to hit father that meant going ttralght to hell. He's to out-of-date In hie Ideae about young people." Some chorus girl! Laurie waa ter rified. Could It ba Glad? Glad, who had been with him In a taxi that Sunday night, and bad brazenly lied about It? "What did you think of Jimmy!" asked Albery curiously. "I didn't much like him," she said. "But. of course, 1 only saw him once." 'Personally, I believe he'a a real bad lot." Laurls was more perturbed than ever. What could the do? Whatever she said, Glad would go on lying. She wat ture of that. Lying to her. It hurt her so much that It was a physi cal pain. Such pain that the felt nothing, not even disgust, when Albery took her In his arms and covered her face with kisses. tCopyrlght, ZJ.U. Corolla Stanton) Laurie makes a terrible discovery, Monday.
