THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, MARCH 24,-1930. P T — JACQUELINE BON HER OWN by RICHARD STARR SYNOPSIS: Jacqueline Grey lohged for adventure. Her idea was rather vague but she had a taste of it when she squan- dered her savings to dine at the Savoy and attend the the- ater in regal style. But the wages of a dress model at By rams in London are meager, even for one so beautiful as Jacqueline. Oh, if she only had 500 pounds; then she could have hér fling, was her thought. But that was forgotten temporar- ily by more pressing thoughts that arose when she lost her job. For seven days she vainly sought work. She was nearly iless. Then she chanced to see a notice in a newspaper that guickened her pulse. The law firm of Rustum and Coles was seeking her. A visit to the effice brought unexpected good fortune. A bequest of 530 pounds awaited. James Booker, the old peddler to whom she had been kind, had repaid her. Her dream chall become a reality! She chail have her fling! Chapter 7 MR.

May 1 sit down?” “Yes, do, Mr. Brown,” she an- swered sweetly “What do you want to speak to me about?” “I've been thinking over what we were talking about last time we went out together,” said Brown. “I Jove you, Jacqueline! I still love you as much as ever—even more. i love—What's that?” There was a noise outside the door as if the ball valve of the cistern hadstuck again, “I rather think it's Mrs. Hub- pard,” said Jacqueline. “Listening outside the door, do you mean?” cried Brown. “I shouldn't be over surprised,” murmured Jacqueline. “You see, ghe takes a motherly interest in “She went leisurely to the door opened it. A door on the other side of the narrow hall was gently closing. Jacqueline snuffed the air delicately and returned to Mr. Brown. “1t was Mrs. Hubbard,” she said. “I recognized her atmosphere. But she's gone now. You may go on, Mr. Brown. I thought we had settled it fhat I wasn't the sort of wife you were looking for, Mr. Brown.” “Pye reconsidered it” he said, magnanimously.

I am nearly 20. Life ought to be an adventure to a girl at that age. Once a girl settles down to a flat and furniture, her chance of ad- venture is over. I want to get up every morning and say to myself: ‘Now, what is going to happen to me today’?” “I don’t believe you love me,” he said, bitterly. “I don't, Mr. Brown.” “It's that fellow, Keswick Dell.” Jacqueline saw her chancé: “You need not worry about Mr. Dell. He is far more interested in Dorothy Dalton than in me.” “What!" Mr. Brown stopped short in his walk while one might have counted twenty. When he resumed Jacque- line could see him thinking. “Haven't you seen it?” she con- tinued innocently. “I thought every body knew. Of course, Dorothy’s a jolly girl and heaps too good for him. But I shall be very much surprised if she doesn't accept him.” Very soon afterwards Jacqueline saild she must leave him, and Mr. Brown raised no objection. He was still thinking. “It's working,” murmured Jac- queline, as she watched him walk away with his head down. b shouldn’t be surprised if Dorothy gets her flat after all before she's too fat for her job. Men are strange. I don't believe any man really begins to want a girl until he knows somebody else is after her. “Well, once more to be in the top-floor back—for nearly the last time, I hope. This is the end of a perfect day.” (Copyright, 1930, Richard Starr) Miss Jacqueline Grey invades the realm of the wealthy in to- morrow’s installment. —— MASQUERADE SKATE Will be held at the A. B.
