»sfl N e U SYNOPSIS: Jacqueline Grey and Teddy Montrose are kin- dred souls in their love of ad- venture. Chance brought them both to a London restaurant one night. Jacquelined dined with Mrs. Porter Mason and Arthur Carew, alias Lenny Ray- mond, and Teddy, broke and lonesome, sat alone admiring the brown-eyed girl. He never expected he would meet her but fate drew them together later in the apartment of three card sharps who picked Teddy for an easy mark at cards. They threaten him when he wins heavily. Settlement of their dif- ferences is postponed when Jac- gueline enters through the win- dow. Circo’s night club is raid- e0 and the terrified girl es- capes. The three attempted to detain Jacqueline and Teddy and the latter joyously bests the trio in a fight and they escape. In a taxi they intro- duce themselves, \ l { | | { Chapter 17 A BEGGAR'S ROM E Before Jacqueline Grey drifted off to sleep at the close of the most adventurous day of her life she reviewed the events that were climaxed by the glorious carefree moments she had spent with Ted- dy Montrose.

A great gulf tsretched between them and it seemed a very dreary expanse, Nevertheless it existed and she must face the fact The depressing thoughts of the night were temporarily forgotten in the joy of the moment when Teddy Montrose very punctually appeared the next day and took her to a dainty little tea shop in the west end. There they found a cozy corner where they might their tete-a-tete. At first Teddy was rather inclined to be serious. Jacqueline liked him just as much by daylight as she had in his evening clothes. “f should like to tell you some- thing about myself,” he said, with a straight face. “Gracious! Do you mean confes- sions?” He nodded. “If you feel it necessary to con- fess your past,” returned Jacque- line sweetly, “I hope you don’t expect me to do the same, because I am not going to. Teddy waved his hand sketchily. “Porget it,” he said. “You have no littie enjoy past.” “Haven't I? Don't you be too sure. I'm afraid my past would| give you a serious shock.” But Teddy was too intent on his own past to heed her. “I am a penniless orphan,” he said. “Not exactly an orphan, but an outcast. You understand me?” “Pm afraid I don't.” “It’s rather difficult. But I've been all sorts of a fool. My father says so, and he ought to know, for he's had to pay for it. I'm just beginning to realize it now, when it's too late. I'm the only son, you| know, and I've sown some wild/ oats in my time—wild ones. Of course the Old Top—that's the pater, you know—has always bang-| ed the table and roared, but the mater has smoothed things over and he has paid up. But lately the mater seems to have lost her arm somehow. The Old Top has been giving me a lot of anxiety —a lot of anxiety.” Jacqueline chuckled. Teddy dived down his collar and brought up a shilling suspended on a string. He held it out to her, “This is what it has come to" he said. “The Old Top is ramer‘ conventional—does things by the book, 2s the saying goes. At our Jast interview, which was rather| warm, he handed me this in an envelope. Of course I thought it was a check until I found out. He told me to get out—just like that.| Only makes him worse. the world was full of a number of I paid 1,100 pounds for him and spent training him and keeping him; and 1 sold him for 200.
