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.

river boats to call for fruit, but the

Modern police systems have hid
den microphones in rooms and cells
so that officials cnu overhear what
their prisoners talk about. 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.
