"B SYNOPSIS: Jacqueline’s in- troduction to a London night club brought adventure, trouble and Teddy Montrose. She de- velops a strong liking for the handsome son of the head of the Montrose shipping lines whose purse temporarily is empty due to the disfavor of his father. When she reads in the newspaper that police are searching for a woman who escaped from Circe’s night club in the raid with a $10,000 dia- mond necklace, Jacgueline is frightened for the description is of herself. Unfamiliar with of Scotland yard, and ying her own predica- in her ignorance, she turns to Teddy for counsel. She is ignorant of the whercabouts of the jewels, Chapter 19 JACQUELINE FROWNS Jacqueline was worried He usual lightheartedness was gonc Instead she was white faced 'anc desperate. From the well of experience witl the British defenders of the law Teddy strove to dissipate her fear: Jacqueline realized that she ha been foolish to flee, but rejectec Teddy's suggestion that she mak a call upon Scotland yard; tha she could not do, she felt, becaus of her past, which she did not re veal to Teddy. “Listen, Mr. Montrose,” she saic steadily. “When I tell you that did not steal those diamonds, anc that I had nothing whatever to d: with the theft and knew nothing whatever about it—do you believ me?” “Well, I should think I do,” re plied Teddy. “Believe you—why, ] will take anything you tell m against anything anybody else say: and believe it till the bottom drop out of the world and all the water spills out of the seas Why you know that surely? “Thank you, Mr. Montrose,” Jac- queline’s voice was rather sub- dued. “You can believe it because it is the truth. But if I allog the police to go poking into my past, they will take that—my past 1 mean—as strong evidence against me. I'd like to make you under- stand, Mr. Montrose, if I can. T mean, if there is anything in my past which I am not prepared i be candid about at this particular moment, it is anything s very discrediable. Now I will go back to the Ms please.” “You needn’t have told me that replied Teddy, quietly, with a look in his eyes which she liked “1 know perfectly well that there is nothing in your past that is to your discredit. I have known it from the first moment I saw you; also I don't want to know any- thing about you that you don't want to tell me. I can see all I want to know about you—in your eyes.” “Thank you again, Mr. Montrose. You are very generous to me.” “Not generosity at all,” replied Teddy. “Plain horse sense, the way not W, W JACOUELINE ON HER OWN by RICHARD STA most of them were as pleased as punch to be in it, except those who were there with the wrong hus- bands.” “I thought,” continued Jacque- line, “that I had done something horribly wrong in coming to the place. You see I had never been to a night club before, and I had always heard them spoken of as ather wicked places.

The people who had been round about me had moved away, and I saw a window near me. I pushed the window up and srawled out. I found myself on a aarrow ledge, and I pushed the| vindow down behind me. That is| Al I can tell you. You know the est. I crawled along that ledge,| .nd once I looked down. It was juite dreadful. I turned quite ick and thought I was going to ‘aint, but I didn't.
