PXGE FOURTEEN READY MADE WIFE BY CORALIE STANTON OH Chapter 48 REX IS MIS8INQ pvXLY on ona point did Laurie stand up firmly to Mark Al bery. It waa about Gladyi. "I cannot be aeparated from my lister until the time when the tup posed divorce will be made public," aha Bald. "Gladys will have to be told the truth, ao that ahe can come and be with me. She la not strong. I don't want her to work for a little while. She would break down. I should be worrying about her all the time." "It is surely foolish to force her to give up her work," Albery re torted, with a certain amount of reason. "I'm not thinking of doing that. I'm too fond of work myself. And GUd will be a great dancer so.tte day. I want her to have a chance. I want her to go to the best teacher In the world. I want her to go on working and learning until she Is ready. But I want her to have a rest first She Is really 111. And she la all I have In the world." "You surely don't want ua to take her on our honeymoon, Laurie!" Al bery asked, with his disturbing smile. Physically and mentally ahe shrank from him, from the very thought of their married life to gether. But she must not show 1L "If Gladys Is III," he suggested. "let us leave her In a good nuralng home. I will tell my cousin, Mrs. Dent, to look after her. I can think of some plausible story to tell her. She la very simple, kind woman. And then we can decide where Gladya la to go for her training. Anything In the world that is possible 1 will do to please you, my dear little girl." So It was settled that way. Laurie had a fairly easy task with Gladys. The girl was really broken. She was In a sense desper ately ill. She had a great deal more motion in her nature than her sis ter had thought, and mora power of suffering. She waa listless; she eared for nothing. Laurie told her that she had to go away on a business trip for her em ployer. She also told her that she and Rex Moore were going to be di vorced. Gladya was not well enough to finish her present contract. Laurie bad communicated with the manager of the troupe, and he underatood. Laurie wanted her to go Into a nursing home for two or three weeks, so that aha could get quite atrong again. Mr. Albery'a cousin would look after her. Mr, Albery was being kindness Itself, as usual. "T3ocause he's potty about you!" remarked Gladya, with that strange, divining glance of hers. "When you and Rex are divorced, are you going to marry him?" Laurie admitted that she was. But It was a dead secret. "Does he know about Jimmy?" "No, darling. Not from me, of course. And It isn't likely that he'll hear it from Dallas himself. Only Rex knows, and you may be sure tbat he will never tell." "You're funny, Laurie," said Gladys. "I can't help feeling that you're In love with Rex all the time. And yet you're divorcing hlml But I suppose you've got a reason. Men are all alike." But she was not really Interested. She was too much takes up with her own misery. She fell In with Laurie's plans for her without a word of protest. TV f ARK ALBERY went over to 1 France. Not a word about Rex Moore passed between him and Laurie be fore he left. Laurie did not communicate with Rex, or he with her. She supposed he waa back at Gretton, making his final preparations for the great Pa cific Sight She did not know of Wanda Ettele's death. There had been only a brief reference to the accident In the papors, which she had missed. The day came when, as Laurie told herself, her Ufa would end. Everything waa ready. Her mod est luggage was on a cab. Gladya waa comfortably Installed In the nursing home. She had Immediately taken to the role of the luxurious patient, and her beauty enchanted the nursing staff, who, one and all, were only too eager to wait on her hand and foot The rest and the se clusion from the outstde world, were Indeed a boon to the girl, and her sister knew that T OF BALEM, Ore.- (UP) Sentiment for a unicameral lystem of government for Oregon ts growing, especially among the Orangera. Oovernor Martin haa been peti tioned by a score of oraanlta lions. most of them In Deschutes county, to call a joint meeting of the two houaes of the state legislature at the forth coming special session to determine the feaalbiltty of a one-house atate government. The State Orange legislative com mittee haa been a ked to work for the unicameral flan. in favor since lta adoption In Nebraska. The Orangea pointed out that the atate In laced with the problem of building a new capltol and should rid Itself of a "useless burden" In maintaining a house and senate. Res olutions received by the governor de clare 'there Is no good purpose served hp me aeration of & two-nous gov-raV At the Albery offices it was on derstood that Mrs. Moors had gone on her summer holiday Laurie was keeping on her rooms fir Gladya to go back to. Albery h.. ' 't her to, so that nobody si:- - -.tfect the truth. Albery had come back to London yesterday, and was meeting her at the station. She drove away from her little home with despair In her heart Albery was In the station court' yard. He hurried to her and clasped her hand, his eyes devouring her face that looked rarely beautiful today In ita pallor and fragility, with the blue eyes, dark and haunted, a light In them not' of this earth. The face of a woman who waa offering heraelf aa a aacrlfice. And Albery'a face that of a man who was gloating over a victim, with Insanity In his brain. As they went Into the station, Laurie saw a newspaper headline. The black letters danced before her eyes: "REX MOORE MISSINO. REPORTED DEAD." Albery saw the paper at the same time as Laurie. The girl stared at him unseelngly, and turned to go out of the atatlou again. "Rex missing!' she said "Rel reported dead!" Albery gripped her arm. "Don't be a little fool! Coma and get Into the train." "No. I can't go away without knowing." "Don't make a scene here! Com on we shall miss the train." BUT she suddenly recovered her elf and said firmly: "I am not going away. How can you expect ma to? Where la Rexl Where haa he flown to?" "I can't say for certain. He waa going to cross the Alps, to make some tests. "Why didn't you tell me?" "I didn't see why It should Interest you any more. Come, Laurie, don't stand here talking!" "Nothing will induce ma to leave England until I know that he la safe," she anawered calmly. "You are being ridiculous. Every thing Is arranged for our marriage tomorrow." Marriage?" She spoke the word as If it could have no connection with herself. "But If Rex Is dead" She atopped. The look on his face froze the worda on her Upa. Ha waa looking at the contents bill. He was smiling that terrible smile. His close-set Hps parted In that cruel, triumphant grin of a man revelling In some fiendish satisfaction. She had seen It on bis face that morning on the Gretton airfield when she had been about to go up with Rex Moora and he had come and prevented her. And, all of a sudden, she knew that if Rex Moore were dead. Mark Al bery had aent him to his death. She felt it not aa a suspicion but aa a certainty. She looked at the man beside her with horror In her eyes. "If he's dead, you've killed htm," she said tonelessly. "You are mad!" ha retorted, but the madness waa in hla own eyes, and again he gripped her arm and tried to force her into the station. But she tore herself away. "I am going back home." Laurie refused to see Mark Al bery during the next days. She could not bring herself to. That look on hla face haunted her. There was no nows of Rex Moora. Albery accepted her decision with a surprising meekness, and sent her a messsge every day to say that he had heard nothing, In spite of all bis efforts. He gave his anxiety about Rex Moore aa his excuse tor his return to the ofllce and his postponement of his holiday. It was natural enough. But when he was alone, he looked aa Satan might have looked when his plans went wrong. Rex Mnore had started a day too soon. Once In France, he could have kept all newa of the airman's flight from Laurie, And once she was his wife, It could not have mattered. She would soon have settled down. It seemed as If the fellow could not be dead. The report had coma from a village In the North of France, but It waa found to refer to a young Frenchman who was flying his private plane and crashed and been killed, and who was quite un known In that part of the country.

Strange as It seems, a blind scien tist who studied by observation the observations of others, of course came to know more about bees than any other living person.

Huber discovered the routine of life In the hive. He cleared up the mystery of the queen, the function of the drone, and disproved many popular fallacies then current. He showed they gathered pollen and pro polis aa well aa nectar. All these things he learned and Huber never saw a bee except In early boyhood.
