The man, she thought, was terribly in earnest. In | his checkered career, Mr. Carew had | been on the stage, and he had al- ways contrived to catch the smy- pathy of his audience with the | tremble of emotion which he dis-| played. He mistook Jacqueline’s silence for consent, and would have taken her forthwith in his arms; but di- rectly he touched her, Jacqueline woke up and began to come to her senses. “Please don't, Mr. Carew,” she said quickly. “I-I ought to have stopped you, but this has taken | me rather by surprise. You see you have only known mnie a few | hours.” : “Long enough to learn to love you, Jacqueline,” he murmured with the famous emotional vibrato. | “But 1 don't love you, Mr. Ca- rew.” | He sighed heavily, and she was| sorry for him. “Besides, Mr. Carew, you are, 1 imagine, a rich man.” “I am comfortable,” returned Mr. Carew, gently. “Not & millionaire by any means, but you would have Teddy. | all you want.” |dy, I have had a time.” |and she continued to sob against |Montrose.

If he could only fight somebody for her he would be sure of his ground. But this was a matter requiring brain power, in which Teddy had always been told he was deficient. He pulled himself together. He asked for further particulars and she told him the story. How it disappeared she could not tell him, because she did not know. { “I put it in that flower pot,” she sald. “And now it is gone.” “That man Carew,” replied Teddy gloomily. “He’s a scoundrel.” “But he couldn’t have had any- thing to do with it,” returned Jac- queline. “I tell you I looked in the pot after he had gone and the thing was still there.” “Did you look at it when you came home last night?” “No. I did not want to disturb the earth too much, and I did not look at it again until this minute. And now it's gone.” “Then somebody must have been here and taken it after you went out yesterday,” saild Teddy, with deep wisdom. “Anyhow, it's nothing to worry about. Why worry? You are well rid of the thing.” “But the police,” said Jacqueline. {“There is this man, Detective Mc- |Allister of Scotland Yard.
