L& JACQUELINE ON HER OWN by RICHARD STARR SYNOPSIS: Jacqueline Grey h2d been on her own for the major past of her 19 yecars. Her ambitions extended beyond the life afforded by her wages as a model at Byrams, exclusive Lon- don establishment. She did not intend to have her quest of a good time restricted by mar- riage. She thercfore refused both William Brown, drapery 2 and Keswick Dell, buyer. The latter retaliated by @issharging her. For seven days adversity confronted Jacque- line. Prinkipo, her 100-1 shot, was miccing at the finish of the Warwickshire Handicap; none scemed to desire her services. Then Old Dobbin died and left her 530 pounds to repay her for her kindness. Jacqueline revived her dreams of living as a lady, enjoying luxury, and in her dingy room at Mrs. Hubbard's rooming house, makes her plans. Chapter 6 CUPID GAINS AN ALLY There was a wheezing outside Jacqueline’s door and she thought the ball valve in the cistern—which was her nearest neighbor—had got stuck again. But it was Mus. Hubbard who announced a visitor It was Dorothy Dalton, one of the models from Byrams, a beautiful blue-eyed, fair-haired girl with 2 Junoesque figure. She was heezing a little like the landlady, and she sank on Jac- queline’s bed to get her breath back. “My dear—that woman!" she gasped. “What a hole! You poor girl!” Whereupon she ook Jacqueline in ber arms bear- hug. Jacqueline was a mere whisp compared with the stately Doro- thy; but Dorothy, although several years clder as well as larger, wor- shipped her. Jacqueline had sent Dorothy her address the day before. “You poor old darling,” mur- mured the passionate Dorothy. “Why didn't you let me know where you were before? I've been breeking my heart about it. What a time you must be having!” “It's not so bad,” said Jacqueline. “I'm enjoying life. I've come into a fortune.” “You look like it,” returned Doro- thy, and giggled a little hysteri- cally. Jacqueline could see that there was something wrong with her, and waited for confidences. “You always were plucky,” mur- mured Dorothy. “I suppose if you came and ate humble pie out of Papa Dell's hand, he'd take you back.” “I might have to some day,” re- plied Jacqueline thoughtfully; “but I'm going to see a little bit of life first.” “I should think you ought to be able to get a job most anywhere with your figure.” #¥ou know T haven't got any figure at all, Dorothy.” “Well, that's just the sort" of figure that's wanted now,” lament- ed Miss Dalton, She began to sniff and produced @ pocket handkerchief. Then, without further warning, she burst into tears. Jacqueline had beén waiting for this. She knew the signs. Dorothy cried easily and pro- fusely, and her tears did not al- ways indicate fundamental tragedy. Homely remedies were usually suf- ficient to quench the flow. MHave a choc., old thing” sug- gested Jacqueline. and gave her a #L: daren't,” sobbed Dorothy. L YWhat's the matter? Dieting again?” #Two meals a day,” sniffed Doro- thy, “and little ones at that. If you only knew how hungry I am, my ‘dear! I could eat horse, and as for a choc, I've been dying for for a week. My number's up, old thing.” t do you mean, dear?” Jac- dropped on her knees with g arms round the big girl. “Has Dell been bullying you?” 's not his fault, T suppose ; but I've gained three pounds «#Today Dell get 10 pounds off. me that if T in the next et Miss Dalton, she of the Junoesque figure, related her troubles. been pretty patient up to fortnight, I shall have to go.” “The beast!" said Jacqueline “Of course, I can’t do it, old thing. If I eat an egg now, I put on a pound.” “Why don't you go and see a doc- t uggested Jacqueline. well have a ch hy had one, and seemed by it A second one )¢ ¢ tears, and a third re- | newed to some extent her belief in as life.

You've been going out with him a bit lately.” “That's nothing,” scoffed Jacque- line. “Anyway, I'm ready to bet that Mr. Brown is going to ask you to marry him.” “He has asked me. I refused him."” “Jacqueline! You must be mad!" “Have another choc.” said Jac- queline. “Now, tell me why you think I must be mad to have re- fused Mr. Brown. “Well, he's a good fellow, Jac- queline. He's straight and honest and steady. He saves money, too; and his job's sure, as jobs go. He'd take good care of you.” “Don’t worry, Dorothy,” said Jac- gueline. “I'm going to take care of myself without his help. Now, you tell me something: Am I mak- Ing a mistake, or did you go out with Mr. Brown a bit, some time ago?” “yes,” replied Dorothy, hanging her head. “He used to go out with me quite a bit, once.” “Why did he give you up?”. “Don't know,” said Dorothy. “He just gave it up; Suppose I got too fat. You see he started sceing things -in you, and perhaps that jave him the slim idea. I'm not jealous, old thing. Men are like that. You have to take 'em as they come.” “You're an angel, Dorothy. you really like Mr. Brown?" “I like him fine,” sighed Doro+ thy. Some girls Do ould you marry him if he asked you?” “Wouldn't T just!" she murmur- »d. “But he won't ask me, my dear, 50 that's that.” (Copyright, 1930, Richard Starr) But Jacqueline had under- rated Mr. Brown's determina- tion as she learns Monday.

A great volume of water that had been dammed up above the bridge broke loose, carry- ing ‘with it ice, trees and other debris and tore down ‘through the canyon to the bay, leaving & minia- lecture, | creek. Only a miracle saved the buildings there from being swept away and the Larson Creek bridge was only saved from being washed out by being frozen solid in the ice. ->eo— SUNDAY SERVICES Church services at the Congrega- MILO CURICH. ‘liaml Church will be held at 11:302dv, ture' glacier at the mouth of the!
