Chapter 44 THE TRUTH "TS Gladys with that young Dallas? Don't He!" Nellie nodded. "He's left London. Wlrare has she (one with him? Nelly broke down altogether. It was with difficulty that Laurie got the sense of her disjointed words. Paris Hotel Meurlce rue de Rl roll they lett yesterday were to be back In the middle of the week a dead secret. "Are they married?" Laurie asked in s dull voice. "I don't know. Glad was awfully close about that. But I expect so. She wouldn't have gone, would she? I couldn't get anything out of her." "Nelly, you've done a cruel thing," aid Laurie unmercifully. "You ought to bare told me at once. You ought to have stopped her going somehow. I'll be getting on now. I must get to Paris as soon as it can be done." Laurie knew well enough that girls went away on holiday trips with their young men nowadays. She knew that the world at large thought little of It But Glad was her sister, the apple of her eye. The qulckeat way to Paris was by air, of course. She found the neareat telephone call box and rang up Rex Moore at Gretton, only to find that he was In London. Half crazy with anxiety, she got the Chelsea flat, and when his voice answered, she felt sick with relief, but spoke In the calm est voice. "I want you to take me by air to Paris at once. Can you?" He did not show the faintest sur prise. "Of course, I can, Laurie. As tt happens, I flew my plane to Croydon this morning, and it la there. But what about Albery?" "I must get to Paris as soon aa possible." She took no notice of hla question. "Could we get there to night?" "Certainly. I'll ring up the air field. Where are you?" "In Streathara." "Then you'd better meet me at Croydon." "I haven't any money. Perhaps lust enough to pay a taxi." "That doesn't matter. I have plenty. You're In trouble, Laurie?" "Yes." "Get to Croydon aa aoon as you can. I'll be a little after you, but when we get there, we won't waste any time." Laurie did not have to wait long ror Rex Moore at Croydon. His plane waa ready for him when , he arrived. Ha gave her a awitt handshake and a piercing look from hla grey eyes, lit up with the energy of action. He also gave her pada of cotton wool to put In her eara to abut out the noise of the engines, and bor rowed a flying coat for her, aa It was going to be chilly up aloft. TT was a scene that Laurie never forgot The last lingering raya of daylight swallowed In the glaring lamps of the field. The sense of unreality, of adventure; and, In the midst of It, the casual chatter of a party of Americana who had Just landed from Cherbourg, and the ealmly sleeping little face of a baby In the arms of a nurse. Rex Moore did not ask her s Ingle question. Laurie waa too preoccupied to ex perience the sensation of flying. It was perfect weather. She noticed nothing, not even the noise of the engines. She sat in a kind of trance behind Rex Moore. Now and then she caught sight of his profile, as he turned his head. His face was set. He had no thought, she felt, but that or steering tbem across the sight skies to their destination. But she waa wrong. Rex Moore was thinking of her. His thoughts were gloomy and harsh. He was re membering what Wanda Steele had aid to him yesterday. Her words of sympathy had been like so many stabs. "You know how I hate gossip and scandal, Rex, but you were well rid of your wife. I hate running down women, too, but 1 can't forgive bei treating you as she has done. "With my own eyes I saw her coming out of that young Dallas'i chambers the other day. They were on the best of terma, evidently. He waa in his dressing-gown, talking to her on the landing. And my friends, whom I had been visiting, tell me that he leads the wildest kind of life. "He has a shocking reputation, and a young woman often visits him there quite late at night I sup pose It's she. I do feel you ought to know, aa you're making the sacri fice of letting her divorce you. I can't think how she's going to get away with It I suppose It's Albery'a money that lias turned ber head." He had ailenced her with a few words, but the poison worked In his veins. Was this girl who sat behind him that aort of woman? Of course, be knew young Dallas and she had met at Gretton. But was she carrying on an Intrigue with him when she was going to marry Albery? She was mercenary: she must be. She was not In love with Albery; he was sure of that The Journey to Laurie was like a dream. They flew steadily on and on. It grew dark. Every now and then she looked down and saw lights, like fire-files, far below. She did not know whether it lasted six hours or one. If they rose or dipped, she was unaware of It They did not exchange a single word until they circled down Into a sea of light and landed at Le pour get aa easily as a gull drops on to the sea. "A LITTLE after midnight," Rex Moore said, looking at his watch, when they stood once more on land. "Not too bad time. Did you like It, or did It bore you?" "I don't know," she answered truthfully. He said nothing more, but took her through the Customs and the Pass port office. They found the car waiting to drive them to Paris. 'Where do you want to go to?" 'I don't want to tell you." 'And you don't want to tell me what you are here for?" "No. It Is private business." "It must be deucedly Important," ha said In the old mocking way. "It is." "Dooa Albery know you are com ing over here?" "No. I don't want anybody to know. That'a why I asked you to bring me." ' "A compliment, I'm sure." The ugly poison still worked. Was she over here to meet this young Dallas? Impossible. She couldn't have asked him to pilot her In that case. She would have to be Insane to do that. There were no other passengers for Paris. "You must tell the driver where you want to go," he said coolly. "To the Place de la Concorde." Laurie bad been In Paris only once before, last year, when she and Glad had spent a week there on a conducted tour. She knew that the rue de Rlvoll ended at the Place de la Concorde. "Are you coming to Paris, too?" she asked him sus piciously. "Naturally, I don't want to spend the night here. May I ask, do you want me to take you back?" "I don't know oh, no, of course not!" She realized that there waa no room for Gladys In the plane. And she was not going to leave Paris without Glad. The car moved away. Again the Journey was made In complete silence. When they drew up at the corner of the Place, Rex Moore helped ber out of the car, and asked ber: "Laurie, won't you trust me?" "I can't Please don't keep me talking!" "Do you expect me to leave you alone In Parte at thla time of nlght7" Tm quite all right. Please, I must hurry!" He looked at her and his voice changed. All right, Laurie. I am going to the Grand Hotel, close to the Opera. Promise me that you will let me hear from you later on In the morn ing. I'm not asking any more ques tions, but I'm not budging from Paris until I've heard from you." "Thank you. Rex. I'll let you hear from me If I can, but I'm not going to promise. "I'll wait until I do." (Copyright. IPJI. Corolla Stanton) Tomorrow. Laurl trios to And hr Qlddy sitter. F BAY MERGER JAPAN SWEPT BY SLEEP SICKNESS MARSHF1ELD, Ore..

Although he was dubbed "the Little Corporal." and Is often pictured with officers standing head and shoulders above him, the fact la that Napoleon was taller than the average man of his race. He was five feet six and a half Inches tall in his stockings a fact verified by careful measurements taken on his body Just after his death. For Latin men. five feet six. and a half Inches la taller than the average. The common error concerning Na poleon's height Is probably due to the fHct that his correct height Is often given as five feet two inches, French measure which equals five fVet six and a half inches on our scale. There are many kinds of sugars, some of them much less sweet than the kind we use on our tables. Su crose, glucose, fructose, maltose, and many others exist, each with its own chemical and physical properties. Strange as It seems, however, two of the most common sugars are really only one the chemist can detect ab solutely no difference between beet and cane sugar. , The dog.
