JACOUELINE 0 SYNOPSIS: Teddy Montrose reluctantly faces the serious as- pect of life. Beset by creditors, he is shorn of everything save five pounds. With it, he splurg- es on dinner at Mascagni's. He forgets his hunger in his attraction for a brown-eyed brown-haired girl dining at a nearby table. He becomes in- fatuated but despairs of meet- ing her. He tries to forget in the company of three affable strangers. Cards are suggested and Teddy trims the card sharps. They demand he return the profits. The argument is interrupted by the entrance of a girl from the fire escape. It is the girl of the restaurant— Jacqueline Grey—and Teddy gallantly offers himself as an escort. The card sharps demur to his departure and attack him. He quickly disposes of them and he and Jacqueline escape in a taxi. Chapter 16 “YOU WONDERFUL MAN” Teddy sat back in the darkness of the cab, the scents and scenes of the east buzzing in his brain But that was the only thing east- ern about his companion whose shoulder pressed his lightly “Oh—you wonderful man!” Jac- queline whispered. “But I knew that you were like that, and was positive I should see you'again.” After that she was quiet. And Teddy Montrose didn't speak eith-|¢ er. He had no need to speak. He was happier than he had ever been in his life Forgotten were his financial troubles; the ladies of the Alamo chorus. His thoughts were only of her, and she had said he was a wonderful man! He groped about until he found the switch and turned on the in- terior light Instinctively they turned and looked at each other Then suddenly, they burst out laughing Presently just a suspicion of trouble came into her brown eyes. «I wish I knew what you were thinking about all this, and—and— er—about me,” she murmured “I wish I knew what you thinking,” Teddy countered. I am thinking that this great adventure—the most wonder- ful T ever had. And it is worth it Now what are you thinking? “That the world is full of a num- ber of things,” Teddy solemnly re- plied. Jacqueline knitted her straight brows over her fine brown eyes and Jooked at him with a trace of be- wilderment. Teddy repeated his favorite say- ing, looking past her out of the cab window, but taking in her delicate profile as he did so. “phe world is full of a number of things,” he repeated as if talk- ing to himself. “I give it up,” said Jacqueline af last.“I suppose it's frightfully clever but I'm too young to understand it What's the answer?” “Phere isn't any answer,” Tre plied Teddy dreamily. “It’s one of the eternal conundrums, I say, shal I tell your fortune?” «Please do. If there’s one thing 1 love above all other things is hav- 'mg my fortune told.” Her eyes shone at him, and Ted- dy, who was talking nonsense at random until he could get his breath back as it were, had to take a grip of himself. He knew that if he stopped talking he would be undone. “you are adventurous, like me,” he said. “I can see adventure in your eyes.” She dropped them quickly. «I believe you are just like me,” Teddy went on blindly. “You take life as it comes and you don't mind how it comes so long as it keeps on coming. I hope you understand.” He felt he was doing well, or not too badly. He began to get more confidence. “Life to you which there is corner just. a little way ahead, where you are going to find something new. Something is going to happen to you which has never happened be- fore.” “Like tonight,” queline dreamily. wyes, like tonight. Nothing like this has ever happened to me be- fore.” “Nor to me.” «And” continued Teddy, Sroping desperately for a new idea to con- tinue this interesting theme, “it really doesn’t matter what hap- pens when you turn the corner— whether it is good or bad. So long as it is new it is a part of life; and all life is an adventure.” wyes, it is just like that; Jacqueline. ‘Aren’t you frightfu clever?” “There are two sorts of people in this world,” Teddy went on, en- couraged. “Those who worry and those who don't worry. You and I belong to those who don't worry. *The worriers always make them- miserable, because they are d of what is lurking round the for them. We others are jays, more or less happy because $, now that however ' miserable may are is road in murmured Jac- “suggested Jacqueline. al " |the best of those written here will! ©|ANT, Captain Bert Maycock will be ' at 'the moment, f'is something new waiting {0r Rinnon, Reliable Transfer, agents. the next corner; and very | it will be something better”| triumph of hepe over ex- N HER OWNB by RICHARD STARR, “Eh?" rather startled. But the warm smile which Jac- queline flashed at him comforted him. For a moment he had feared hat she was laughing at him. “But all that is my character,” he remarked. “You said u were roing to tell me my fortune. That’s 1 different thing, you know.” “Not so different you replied Teddy boldly ortune depends a lot on your char- wcter, you know.

Teddy became distinctly gloomy For a time he had forgotten him- self He had been talking to this| 7ir] as an equal | s0. or nearly that for to Teddy Mont- | rose 250 pounds was a bagatelle. | A long and rather awkward si-| lence intervened. Teddy, with a| {look of misery on his face, could not | help glancing at her profile. Twice Jacqueline caught him. She also| blushed. Presently she could no' longe stand the thought which was t menting her. She turned right| round and faced him bravely. hy |are you looking at me like that? | Teddy blushed more than ever| |and stammered: | “I—I don't know. T just felt that| I had to look at you. I say, I don mean to be rude, or anything like| i that, but I just couldn’t help look- | |ing at you.” | “Were you looking at my nose?” “y—your nose?” gurgled Teddy. “No, I was looking at your face.” i “You weren't You were look-| g at my nose. You are looking at | it now.” | “Well, I can't look at your face| without looking at your nose.’ : “Is it red?” ! “Good Lord! No!

She produced her little powder- | hox and pad and began attending o the troublesome feature. i | Teddy turned his head away dis- 'reetly, but had to look again be- ‘ore the operation was completed. e caught an arch glance from her brown eyes, her small head tilted sideways towards him. “Do you like red mnoses, Sir| Lancelot?” | “Yes,” murmured Teddy, hope- fully. “Then T think you are going to like mine quite a heap.” “I am,) replied Teddy. “But I! say, you've got my name mixed up | with somebody else. My name is| Teddy Montrose. Who is Sir What s-name? 'Is that the fellow you| were dining with at Mascagni's tonight?"” “No, Mr. Montrose,” answered Jacqueline, demurely. “That's thci name of a gentleman in a poem | who wears shining armor and res- cues damsels in distress.” (Copyright, 1930, Richard Starr) ! Jacqueline learns about Ted- dy’s misfortunes and more about Prinkipo, tomofrow. |HiGH SCHOOL POETS ENTERED IN CONTEST Poetry written by Juneau High School students will be submitted in a Territory-wide contest being sponsored by the Parent-Teacher | Association of Fairbanks, Miss Dor- othy Israel, local English instructor, said today { Origination of these poems, Writ-[ ten on Alaskan subjects to pro-\ mote favorable feeling towards the Territory, has been part of the regular English work in all high school classes.

A quality yom would insist upon if you kmew all of the FACTS Only a few years ago, Western America introduced vacuum packed coffee to the world—and more recently vacuum packed tea. For fine coffee, the vacuum tin is now the universal practice. For tea, a special process still remains the secret of the originators — Schilling. The flavor of tea evaporates Just like cpfiee, only more slowly, and it is months (frequently a year) before tea reaches you from the Oriental gardens. Much as you may have enjoyed your tea, you have missed much of its original rare flavor. But now it is preserved for you. Both a tea leaf and a coffee bean must be toasted to drive off the moisture, which helps to rob it of flavor. Good coffee is packed in vacuum immediately after roasting. Tea is toasted at the tea gardens, then sealed in large chests, lined with lead. When it arrives in America it is repacked in ordinary tins or even cardboard boxes. And that's where the damage is done! But this is how Schilling doesiit. As the tea is poured from the lead-lined chests, if is foasted again, and while stll hot (just like your coffee) it is sealed in vacuum. Schilling Tea comes to you as fresh and fragrant as jt left the Orient —the only tea completely protected from the tea garden to you.
