When he discharged Jac- queline he had confidently antici- pated that she would be back in two of threé weeks asking to be taken on again. Mr. Dell was ready {0 take her on again—on his own conditions. On the afternoon of the same day Jacqueline said good-bye to the top-floor back in Pimlico. Bhe had booked a modest suite at the Hotel Majestic. She had done a little shopping She wore a stock tailor-made from one of the best west end establish- ments, which had required only the slightest alteration to render the it perfect. The hat, gloves and handbag were perfect. That journey from Pimlico to the Majestic was for Jacqueline a tri- 4mphal procession. She was leav- ing the old order of things and Stretching out eager arms to the pbw The world for Jacqueline was beginning again. “rhe taxi was a chariot, whirling onwards to a dazzling destiny. cab was open, and the sun shone on her. Here and there a man stopped on the pavement to Jook at her and she was not dis- pleased. Jacqueline knew she was Jooking her best. Even the Hotel Majestic could not find fault with her tailor-made. “Once or twice on the way she examined her mose anxiously in the panel mirror, and touched it up slightly, just before they came to the Majestic. ivThe hall porter of the Majestic did not unbend to everybody. He was a man of erudition, a multi- “linguist and a person of consider- able substance, who knew his worth. Jatqueline’s first wisiful smile van- quished him and he became almost active on her behalf. “'He handed her out with the air a Raleigh. “I will see to the ab, ma'am,” he said as she groped her handbag.

Many people ot born to magnificence had been rw by their first glimpse of “This way, please, miss—ma'am.” | She followed. Once more she crossed the crim- son desert. The page-boy was in- clined to hurry, but Jacqueline was not. She knew that the eyes of those who sit about were watching her from beneath the surrounding | palms; and she knew—nobody bet- | ter—that a woman hazards calam- ity when she has to walk under in- Spection ‘across a quarter of an acre or so of crimson carpet.

He smiled, and Jacqueline smiled. They came to the elevator, and there on the floor was Jacqueline's luggage. Tt seemed wonderful how it reappeared. The page boy led the way to suite 111 that was to be the domi- cile of Miss Jacqueline Grey. The new occupant. was entranced by its beauty. The thump of her luggage on the floor roused her from her revery. Remembering her debt to the hall porter, she handed the boy a 10-shilling note. “Will you give this to the hall porter, please. He paid for my cab.” Jacqueline added a tip for him., “Yes, ma'am,.” “You're losing your head,” she told herself as the door closed be- hind the page. “That’s what's the matter with you, my child. The very thing I warned you not to do. Do you know what you've done? You've paid 10 shillings for a cab fare that couldn’t have been a pen- ny more than three shillings and six pence.” Thus do hotel porters become people of substance.
