PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. AUGUST 22. 1935. READY MADE WIE .BY CORALIE STANTON grSOPSIBi Laurie ( low with P.ra Uaore, but they are in the midst of a misunderstanding. Bo Laurie has promised to marry Mark Albery, airplane manujac turer who employe both Hex and Laurie. A I ber y has forbidden Laurie even to eee Ret Uoore. To complicate mattere, Laurie ie wor . ried about her eiatcr Oladye and Jimmie Dallae. and when she goes to ask Dallas not to eee Gladys again, she is seen leaving the flat by Wanda Steele, whom Rex has asked to marry him. Chapter 42 CAUGHT pHE next afternoon, Laurie wu In her office In London when the private telephone line from Fen Qretton rang through to her. She ex pected to hear Mark Albery'i voice. He wu not In London. But It was Rex Moore speaking. "Laurie, do you stUl want me to take you up In the air?" he aaked. Hla voice rang In ber eara. She had not heard It for days. She trembled with a joy that was half fear, and switched off the connection to A! bery'a private room. If ehe must not see him, at least she could speak to blm. "Wbyr she asked. "Because there's a good chance to morrow. I'm going to do a rather In teresting little (light, with an alti tude test Quite sate. It was a sort of bargain, wasn't It?" "Mr. Albery baa told me I must not tee you any more," she said In shamefaced voice. "He said It would be dangerous. I mean to your plans.1 Rex's voice came over In a rough laugh. "Albery won't be here tomorrow. Re need never know. He's off to Ber lin tonight You're not a slave, Laurie yet? Or a prisoner, are you?" She choked down a little sob. He didn't understand. "Never mind, If yon don't want to!" he said angrily. Again she was seized with one of those Inexplicable, irresistible im pulses. "Yes, I'll come," she said. "I'd love to." He gave her quick directions where and when to meet him. Aa she listened, her heart leaped In her breast like a live thing. It wai the most beautiful early morning Laurie had seen In her life. Ehe was up with the dawn and caught the first train of the day to Cambridge. Already, In the train, she felt that she was flying that ahe had left the earth and would never come down again. The car was there, outside the sta tion. It was nearly an hour's drive to Albery'a private air Held. Rex Moore was there, waiting for her at the entrance to one of the great hangars. But ha told her he was not going up for another half hour or so, and Insisted on taking her to the canteen to have a cup of coffee and aometblng to eat "I can't And my usual mechanic anywhere," he aald, aa they left the canteen. "He seems to have entirely disappeared and nobody knows where he Is. Quite a new man la on duty. I found him tilling my tank when I got here." "Ooea that matter?" ahe asked. "Of course not Only I can't think where Brown can have got to. I was used to him. Now we may as well push off. It's a two control machine. Perhaps I'll let you take the con trols when we're up If you're very good! He gave one of his rare boyish laughs. "That will be grand!" sr.ld Laurie excitedly. "In you get." body would know anything about It," ahe added recklessly. Albery turned to the airman. "Are you quite out of your mind, Moore?" "As Laurie has told you, It was an old bargain. Thla seemed a good chance, In perfect conditions." "Is there any reason why shouldn't go, now I'm here?" the girl put In warmly. She had forgotteD ber fear of Albery In her bitter dls appointment "I absolutely forbid you to go," Al bery said. He spoke with Inexplicable violence. "You will come back with me to the house at once. You aeem to have forgotten how much depends on this." She met his eyes, so cold, so venge ful, so full of something like hatred, that all the spirit went out of her. He was her master; she could do nothing. She turned away from Rex Moore, not daring to look at him again. That beautiful dream day was not to be. Moore shrugged his Impatient shoulders, as If throwing from him all the bothers and complications that Infest the earth, and climbed Into hla plane. Albery atood still to watch him take off. It was a perfect performance; the plane rose, after a short skim, bird like Into the air. The next Instant Albery turned to her, Impassive, smoothly courteous, Inviting her back to the house. I am glad I waa In time to pre vent you from making a fool of your self, Laurie," he said. AND then a voice came from the ground behind her. She heard Rex Moore give a sharp exclamation of surprise and anger. She almost fell back, and Rex lifted her to the ground. Mark Albery had Just come up, hurrying, with his swift light, grace ful strides. His face was as Impassive as ever, but his voice was like a whip. "What can this mean? What are you doing here, Laurie?" She aald weakly: "I thought you were In Berlin." He gave a low laugh that made her tremble. "Obviously. I was prevented from going at the last moment." He paused, as It trying to control him self. When he spoke again, bis voice was silky. "Have you forgotten my warning about being seen with Moore? Or did you deliberately take advantage of my absence?" The girl's spirit rose. "1 did not think this once could matter," she said. "Some time ago Rex promised to take me up In the llr with him. I didn't suppose any- A LBERY drove etralght back to London, taking Laurie with blm. They set to work In the office as soon as they got there, although It waa Iready four o'clock. Albery had a great many lettera to get off. He was going to Berlin tonight. Instead of yesterday. He had been held up by the unexpected arrival of hla chief business colleague In Australia, the very man who had discovered Laurie In Sydney and sent her to England. Now, he was the business man, concentrated on hla work. Laurie was the perfect secretary. Not a per sonal word passed between them. When she brought him the lettera to sign and he had finished them and handed them back to her, he said In his smooth voice: Laurie, have I your promise that you will not repeat this folly? Will you please give me your word that you will not see Rex Moore again?" 'Yes, I give you my word," she answered quietly. You can get off now," he added. I will call for you at your place to take you out for a Inte meal before I leave for the station. 1 am going by the night service. If I could only take you with me!" he added, fixing glowing, ardent eyes on her. She went cold and stiff, expecting him to take her In his arms, but Just then one of the departmental man agers came Into the room, and ahe escaped. A little later, as ho waa leaving the office, Albery'e telephone rang. He heard Rex Moore's voice. The receiver dropped from hla hand. He went as white as a sheet. His lips curved Into a ghastly grin of horror. As he picked up the re ceiver again, he shook so that It rattled against the table. It was sev eral seconds before he could find his voice, and then It boomed In his own eara like thunder, although only a Whisper went over the wire. "Is that Mr. Albery?" Moore waa asking. "Please put me through to Mr. Albery's private 'phone! Mr. Al bery? Rex Moore speaking!" "Alhery speaking! Rex how did It go?" His left hand clutched at his throat "A devil of a mess." came the an swer. "It might have done for me. A fool of a new mechanic filled my tank with the new fuel. Where could he have got It from? Brown waa no where to he found. He Isn't here now. I tried altitude first That went. I waa Just getting speed when I no ticed something queer. Bang It went same aa before, 1 was four thou sand feet up. But I'd taken a para chute, so I'm still alive. The plane Is burnt out In a field. That stuff Is Impossible. I thought I'd let yon know at once." Moore's voice waa ordinary enough. But was It Just a Utile too casual? Did Rex Moore guess at something? Did he suspect the new mechanic The new fuel hy mis take? With the greatest effort of his life Albery recovered himself. (Copyright. 19S$. Coralts Stanton) Laurla again hat eauaa to ba worrltd ovtr Qladya, tomorrow.

Tills is more generally used to gain an un witting admission from a suspect who believes himself to be out oi earshot. Dlonyslus, tyrant of Syra cuse, used this same system 24 cen turies ago. He had no modern equipment, but he did have a knowledge of the use of acoustics. The cave In the above druwlng had the remarkable property of echoing whispered words along Its walls so that they could be heard great distances away. Dlony ttlus used 11 for his prison. He could sit at a certain point along the walla and hear whispered conversa tions of his prisoners. Unwary cap tives often gave themselves away, thinking no one was near. The ancient cave is still a marvel of acoustics. A single hand clap re sounds with thunderous applause a single spoken word sounds like the babbling of a crowd. Travelers still test the method used by Dlony slus whispered words against the cave wall can be heard 210 feet away.
