MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1935. PAGE FOUR READY MADE WIFE BY CORALIE STANTON at SYNOPSIS; Laurie to vtorriei cut ot mind. Bhe loves Rex Moore and ho loves her, yet the is en eaoed to Hark Albery and he is en gaged to Wanda Steele. Albert ie insanely jealous, and wishes bloore vers out of the inay enough to try to cause him to have a plane acci dent. And Laurie's slater Oladys is running around with the llQht mlnrlcd Jlmmie Dallas, and is lying about it. Albery is explaining to Kcx how "glad'' he is that the young flyer escaped. Chapter 43 , ALIBI " TV dear fellow, how dreadful!" eaid Albery. "You appal me! I'm all In a tremble. Forglvo me. If I don't Bound quite reasonable. What an escape! We must go Into this at once. Why, you might have been killed! You would have been, but for your parachute. "And think tbat Laurie was going up with you! It's like a bad dream. I can't take It In. You must go thor oughly Into It at once. I'm bound to go to Berlin tonight Shan't be able to see you, though I'd give anything to stay. "Please go Into the whole matter. ,1 give you full powers. I'll tell them ithey're to give you every facility. You must cross-examine every sin 'gle men on the staff. What a mercy jyou are safe!" "You're a very wicked "I guess It would take a lot to kill mo," said Hex Moore. And again that ghastly grin dis torted Albery's face. He went on talking for several minutes, but af terwards no could not remember a word that he bad said. Only one sentence of Hex Moore's remained In his mind. "Please don't tell Laurie, Mr. Al bery I've kept It absolutely dark here. We mustn't let anything come out on account of the new fuel, you know. Of course, It must have been a mistake." But to Albery's distracted ears It had seemed that the airman's voice 'was full ot deadly meaning. LAURIE spent four days ot almost complete solitude. Alhery was detained la Berlin. She did her routine work at the of fice. Albery had deputed her to look after his correspondence, and she communicated with him by tele phone twice every day. But, on the Monday after Albery's departure, Mr. Mortimer, his col league from Australia, called on Laurie In her office. This was the good Samaritan who had come to her rescue In Sydney. She gave him tea In her office. Al bery had obviously told him that she and Rex Moore were separated, but he was very tactful. Possibly Albery had hinted that he was going to mar ry her himself after the divorce. At any rate. Mr. Mortimer was very friendly Indeed. He asked most kind ly after her sister, and seemed deep ly interested In her career, and In vited them both to dine wl'.h him the next evening and go to a show Laurie accepted with pleasure. Sir. Mortimer was so kind. Gladys would love that She was so fond of restnurnnts and theatres. When Mr. Mortimer had gone, she rang up Nelly Park's home in Strcatham. "This Is Laurie Moore speaking." she said, as Nelly snswered. "How are you all? I want to speak t Glad. Will you call her?" There was a quite perceptible pause, and then Nelly said: "Glad Isn't In lust now. Mrs. Moore." Dalles Railroad Taken For Taxes THE DALLES. Ore., Aug. 31.

I'm Just go ing home, and 1 have no 'phone there. When do you expect her?" "I don't quite know. She went out with Beau to the pictures, I think." "Well, give her a message from me. I want her to come to my place tomorrow for the day and to spend the night. Tell her Mr. Mortimer from Sydney Is over here and has asked us to dine and do a show." "Yes, Mrs. Moore." , Nelly's voice sounded rather queer to Laurie. "Tell her It's very Important She'll remember Mr. ilortlmer. He was very kind to us In Australia." "Yes, Mrs. Moore, I'll tell her, when she comes back." Decidedly, Nelly's voice was queer. All Laurie's fears about Glad rushed In on her like a wave, sweep ing her mentally oft her feet For a moment her voice failed her; her heart seemed to rise Into her throat and stifle her. When she went on speaking, Nelly had evidently left the telephone. INSTINCT told Laurie that some thing was wrong. On one of her Irresistible Impulses she rang up the number of Jlmrfltf Dallas's chambers In St James'. A man's voice, not his, answered her. glrll" Insisted Laurie. "Can I speak to Mr. James Dallas, please?" she asked. "I am sorry, Madam, Mr. Dallas Is not in London at present." "Where Is he?" "I am afraid I cannot 'tell you, Madam, Mr. Dallas left no address." In a few moments Laurie was' out of the office. She balled a taxi and told the man to drive to Nelly's home in Streatham. Hours seemed to pass, although the man made very good going. It was Nelly who opened the door of the little suburban house. Nelly, pale-faced and blackhalred, the very opposite ot the radiant Gladys, started back with a little squeal, like a scared rabbit Laurie gave her no time to collect herself. "Where Is Glad? I don't believe what you told me over the 'phone." "She la out, Mrs. Moore really!" "I'll wait 'till she comes back, then. Are your people at home?" "Only dad. He's got a class.' Nelly looked as It she wanted to shut the front door In Laurie's face. "Take me somewhere where wc can talk," Laurie commanded. "You've got to tell me the truth. I know Glad Isn't staying with you." "Oh, Mrs. Moore, how can you say such a thing?" The girl was a bad actress. She led Laurie Into th front sitting-room, and there were tears In her eyes. "It's no good lying to me, Nelly." Laurie said quietly. "I know there'! something wrong. You've been help ing Glsd to keep things from me Where's Glad?" "I don't know," whimpered Nelly In a last frantic effort of loyalty. "You do know and you're going to tell me. You're a very wicked girl." "Oh. no, Mrs. Moore!" Nelly'i voice was now choked wltb sobs. "I'm scared to death and frightfully worried. But Glad made me swear 1 wouldn't tell. And you know bow she is, how mad she gets if you crost her. and how &re slways has her own wny."
