" 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."

THE DALLES. Ore., Aug. 31. (AP)
Final formalltlM for taking poejiM
alon of The Da Ilea Oreat Southern
railway line for fallurs to pay MO.
334 37 delinquent Uxea were under
wny today by Waaro county.
"Oh, what a nuisance! 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."
