== THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1930. SYNOPSIS: Possession of the necklace stolen by Mrs. Porter Mason disturbs Jacqueline and in her ignorance she contem- plates trouble with the police. On her guard she finds Mr. Arthar Carew searching her hotel suite for the necklace. He takes her out to dinner and pro- poses on the way home but Jacqueline, with thoughts only Yor Teddy Montrose, rejects him. Teddy visits her and she tells her of her fears. They find the necklace has disappeared from its hiding place. Detective McAllister finally calls and tells Jacqueline of her movements and personal history but does not mention the necklace. The police didn’t want her after all. That is a relief but Jacqueline is worried by Teddy's silence. Chapter 24 TEDDY DECLAKES HIMSELF Three days passed, three of the most miserable days Jacquelinc could remember. She tried to forget Teddy and t plunge into the whirl of life. Bu she found that tc spend mone: recklessly and in solitary grandeu was not in the least amusing anc not very exciting. She went to the Savoy for din tier. She went to the opera, whicl happened to be on She did no like operas, and wondered vaguel what they were all about. But sh knew that distinguished people al- ways went to the opera; so she went. And she went to three the- atres—and was frightfully bored. She could not understand it. Try as she would, she could not recap- ture the rare thrill of that one evening in the distant past, when she had dined at the Savoy and gone to the opera afterwards at the cost of ten pounds. She spent a great deal mare now dnd could not get the least thril out of it. She had always been {inder the impression that peoplc who moved in these walks of life could never possibly be bored. Now ghe was beginning to wonder. She went to & fancy dress ball at Covent Garden, and felt like a lost soul in the wilderness. Severa' young men tried to be agreeable t¢ her at the hotel, but Jacqueline’ snubbed them effectively. What was the matter with her? 8he did not know. The only way she could get a little hectic pleas- ure was by buying frocks and hats and beautiful lingerie. ~And she had to make a little of this go a| Jong \way, because it was a shock- ingly expensive business. She spent 70 pounds this way and on top of this had a shock when the hotel people presented her with a bill for over 40. But she did not care, She wrote checks and saw her little fortune dwindling with indifference. What did it matter? If this was the life of the wealthy—of those magical people who sat about— there was nothing in it, and the sooner it came to an end the bet- ter. Why was Teddy Montrose staying akay from her? After all, perhaps, it was for the best. Her money was nearly at an end. At the rate she had been going it would not last another two weeks. Then she would have to disappear quietly and completely. The explanation came on the third day after the visit of Mr. MeAllister. It was in form of a Jetter. “My Dear Jacqueline: “T'ye got to run away, and I haven't got the pluck to come and tell you so face to face as it were. If I did I'm afraid I should say a lot of things 1 didn't intend to say. “] am going to say ome of them now, anyway. I love you, Jacqueline. That's why I've got to run away. But 1 want you to know before 1 clear. Not that it does any good, of course put when a fellow loves a girl as I love you, he sort of wants her to know, even if there is nothing that can be done about it—nothing useful I mean. I ou don't mind. ho‘Ple fz’e) that T am writing this like a congenital idiot, but iv's the best 1 can do. I loved you the first time I saw you, Jac- queline, and it has come to stay. When you came into that room on the night of the raid, and called upon me to clear the read for you, so o speak, well, T felt a8 if you had been sent into the world Just for me, and that I had been sent just to clear the road for you. And that's what 1'd like to do if things were different—to walk by your side through life and wipe your troubles out of the way, or as many of them as ¢ f:t“‘:hlngs had been different 1 believe I could have done it. or at any rate I believe 1 could ‘have made you happy. ~Bub fhings mostly don't break as you want them to. You are & mhgtfl.nndlmmtnbout JACQUE ON HER OW by RICHARD STARR, LINE N pumped up enough courage to come and ask you to marry me. But being down to bed-rock I am not going to do anything of the sort. I only just tell you that I love you because I sort of want you to know. I've got an idea it might help me in time to come. I don't suppose it will help you any, but you are kind, and I know you will think kindly of me. And of course if at any time you want any- body’s head punched, or any- thing of that sort, which is in my line, you've only got to hold up your little finger and wiggle it about once in my direction, and I'll be there with the goods, 50 to speak. “You see I'm not very good on brains so the Old Top tells me, and I believe he's right. And if I have to work for my living;: as I have to, it is not going to be the sort of living which I could ask you to share “So goodbye, Jacqueline, and I'm glad that I've known you and loved you. It's taught me quite a bit that I might not have learned for years and years if it hadn't been for you. If you were as poor as I or I were as rich as you, things might have been different. But there you are. The world is full of a number of things. “TEDDY.” It was a feeble letter, expressed n the irresponsible “Teddy” style. But Jacqueline took it up to her sedroom and sat over it for a long ime. She did not go out that 1ght, because she found she had a readache and it was a bad one. Teddy had written from his club, wnd the letter, of course, demanded i answer, But it was three days sefore she could write the answer. [n the end she wrote a letter which she considered would be final. She realized now that she loved he gallant and irresponsible Teddy is she had never dreamed of lov- ng any man. . She had, in fact, never loved a man before. The men she had met had meant 10 more to her than her girl friends and she had come to the conclusion hat she had not the necessary smotional equipment to fall in love | 1 SORRY THIS | iRAD THAPPEN, | [JuUST WHEN iw_ITH ME, SAMBO' | | @ 1990, Nuwapaser Prature Servien Inc., Great Brtals rebde DOUGLAS NEWS KIRKHAMS HAVE FINE TRIP | | Mr. and Mrs. J.

This is what Jacqueline wrote finally, after taking throught for| three days; “My Dear Teddy: “I am glad you have told me, and I shall always remember with happiness that you saw something in me good enough to love. “I hope you will not think I am. hard and cold, because I am not that at all.
