JACQUELINE ON HER OWNA by RICHARD STAE}, SYNOPSIS: The age old bar- rier of different social positions looms hetween Teddy Mont- rose and Jacqueline Grey and the latter, realizing her riches will soon vanish, detérmines to forget Teddy. But she finds it difficult, and the pleasures of the wealthy devoid of the thrill they once gave her. She agrees to accompany Mr. Carew on a motor trip to see Mrs. Porter Mason only to find after the car breaks down, that Mr. Cafew has deceived her. His caveman tactics fill Jacqueline with fury and Mr. Carew leatns for the second time he has made a mis- take in pursuing her. Jacqueline simulates a faint and Mr. Ca- rew vainly seeks to revive her, then runs for help and Jac- queline miraculously revives and flees the scene. Chapter 27 TERRORS OF THE NIGHT There was only one thing in Jacqueline’s mind as she walked down the road—to get as far away from Mr. Carew as possible before he discovered how neatly he had been foiled by a mere girl, who understood the potent effect on a man of an artistic faint. She knew it about about 10 o'clock, and that she was some 45 miles from London. Also she did not love dark country lanes miles away from anywhere. They frightened her. She kept walking as fast as she could. Twice she tried to run, but the fog was too thick, and each time she fell. She had been hurrying down the road for more than 10 minutes when she heard the quick pounding of steps behind her. Somebody was running along the road towards her. It must be Carew. This was only too true. He had found the farmhouse in a few minutes and had hurried back to the car only to discover that the fainting girl had marvellously van- ished. Tllumination came to him. He realized that he had been sold. The dead faint was a hoax, specially staged for his benefit, and he had fallen into the trap. In a rage, he went pelting down the road, knowing that there was only one direction the girl could take. To make matters worse, he had a powerful electric torch with him and with this was searching the hedges as he Tan, to make sure that she was not crouching some- where in hiding. Jacqueline, who had started run- ning directly she heard the thud of flying feet, saw the glimmer of the the toich coming toward her, and saw at the same time a stile close at hand. Tt was the work of the.moment to climb the stile and crouch on the other side, ¢ The runner did not slatken, but went straight on pdst the stile, flashing the light on it. On the particular meadow in which Jacqueline now found her- gelf, there was a path, if it could be so called. A narrow, winding foot-track led across from one stile to another, and she followed this by the feel of the hatder ground under her feet. When she had crossed two more stiles, she felt safe, g0 far as Carew was concerned, but = there were plenty of other troubles to face. She was now completely lost. She wandered forlornly in a bumpy meadow, her thin shoes and stock- ings already wet through with the dew. And she was frightened. Much more frightened than she had been of Mr. Carew and his melodramatic plot. There were strange inconsistencies about Jacqueline. She would stroll serenely down such places as Paradise Row, Poplar, where Old Dobbin had lived, with perfect un- ‘concern. ~ She would have gone just as light-heartedly ' into the worst slum in Lendon, no matter how bad its repute. She never dreamed of dangers in theé streets of London® where she had Tived all Mer life, and had never been in- terfered with. * Other things, too, she was not scary about. + But she Always used to sing to keep her coirdge up, if she had to go upstairs in the dark; thing more ‘alone in a country lane To be alone ih the middle of a der shoulders and dried her eyes carefully with her handkerchief. “What a time I'm having!"” she told herself, commiseratingly. “I bet my nose is red. What wouldn't I give to be back in the old dormi- tory again at Byrams, having an |argument with Emily Gibbs? If (this is the sort of thing one gets from being wealthy! Oh, Teddy— Teddy—" | Then she cried a little more, and stopped abruptly with a gulp. “Oh, if only I could find a road some- where, a main road for preference.” But she was afraid to stir. She dared not explore the possible ter- rors that lay on the further side of this hospitable stile. She felt that the stile was her only safe- guard and feared to move away {from it. ~ She argued that if a cow {appeared on one side she could |cliftib over to the other. ~What to ido if a cow appeared on both sides |she dared not think. After she had considered this {point in fear and trembling for a !quarter of an hour, she heard a sudden roaring, a rushing whirr of wheels, and a great blaze of lights flew past her on the other side of the stile. It was a motor-car going at high speed. All the time she had been con- sidering the hopelessness of her po- sition, the road—and a main road, too—was dnly just on the other side of the stile, In a moment she was over and speeding down the road in the di- rection the car had taken. When she was out of breath she pulled up. “You're not going to catch that, my child,” she said. “Your brains have gone out for a walk or some- thing. Better walt for the next one.” 8o she followed more soberly, but it so happened that she did after all catch the great ear which she had seen rushing recklessly through the fog. In the stillness of the country night she heard a distant thud and a meétallle crash. “Sounds as if that car has met something,” sald Jacqueline, and began to run again. She was right. When she ar- tived breathless on the scene of the fccldent, she found a man pinned under the car. It had run up a bank and turned completely over. The man was in a bad way. The ecar was lying across his body. He was on his back, his arms outspread and his head rolling from side to side. There was some blood . on his face and he was moaning feeb- ly. He was an old man, too, with white hair and a short, well-trim- med beard, = The wheels of the car were in the air, but the electric headlights were still burning. The man was' conscious, and in a tremulous toné asked Jacqueline to help him, But how to help him? She caught hold of the edge of the car body with her pathetic little hands and tried to lift it. The result may be guessed. Fortune and her own quick brain favored her. Bomebody had been cutting fence rails by the roadside, and there was & neat pile of stout poles eight feet long or so. Jacqueline very quickly saw the use of one of these. Bhe chose & pole, put the end under the car and using it as a lever was able by the exertfon of all her strength te move it an inch or two, % “Can you érawl out if I lift the car off you," she asked. “Yes,” whispered the old gentle- man. With the weight of the car on his chest, it was all he could do to speak at all. Jacqueline heaved on her lever. The, man drew himself clear of the wreck. He did it painfully and dowly, and before he was clear Jacqueline was white and panting with her efforts. She let the car 4own with a crash immediately He was clear. “Oh, if you had been another minute I couldn’t have held on. But I would have done.” She helped the old man to his feet. He was very tottery and leaned all his weight on her sl young shoulders, which were much stronger than they looked. She guided him to the bank. Then lshe fetched a spring tfushion which had been thrown out of the car, and made a comfortable seat for him. No sooner had she got him com- fortable than he faihted.
