1 JACQU ON HE by RICHARD S‘l'A-f(RJ SYNOPSIS: Undaunted by Jacqueline Grey’s emphatic “no” to his marriage proposal, Ar- thar Carew, alias Lonny Ray- mond, conceives what he con- siders a olever scheme. He lures her into the country under the pretext of taking her to see the missing Mrs. Porter Mason. His deception is revealed when his car develops “motor trouble” and Mr. Carew embraces Jac- queline and ardently pleads his love. He threatens and cajoles but Jacqueline is unmoved. Forty-five miles from London | she is intent on getting home. | She simulates a faint and Ca- | rew runs for help apd returns to find Jacqueline has fled. | She becomes lost in the fog | and gains her bearings when a | car rushes by. It is wrecked and | Jacqueline rescues an old man | pinned beneath it. | | Chapter 28 | A NICE OLD GENTLEMAN | Jacqueline's experience with faims" was far more extensive than' Mr. Carew's and she knew exactly what! to do for the old man, | She unfastened his collar and| dipped her handkerchief in the! water in a ditch nearby and applied it to his forehead i Soon he returned to consclous- | ness and in the light from the headlights of the overturned auto- mobile saw the features of Jacque- | line as she knelt beside him, sup-| porting his head in the hollow of her arm. | “Feel better now?” she asked, as if she were speaking to a child | “Yes,” Qe answered faintly, “I— am much better now and I thank you very much for your kind and eager help. My dear, you are rather wonderful—a young girl like you, and a little thing~the way you got me out from under that car.” After a brief considergion, Jac- queline decided that as he was quite old, there was no objection to his terms of endearment. He looked like a nice old gentleman. She was busy now wiping the blood from his face and picking out splinters of glass. The side of his head was cut and the blood had stained his white hair and run down his cheeks. She could see, Jacqueline examined the cut on however, that it was only a super- ficial wound. “My dear, you are very good,” he murmured, she cleverly bound up his head with his handkerchief. “I think I could walk to your housc if you would be good enough to help me."” “I don’t think you could,” replied Jacqueline. “Because all the house I've got is in London, and that's about 45 miles away from here, I believe.” “London! But there is a house close by, isn't there? You must| have come from a neighboring house?” ! “I didn't,” returned the girl, still busy with her bandaging. “I was sitting on the stile down the road when you came by. I. was afrajd you were asking for troiible the way you'were going. By the way, there| isn’t anybody else under, the car, 1 suppose?” “No, I was quite alone, my dear.” “Then you ought to know better, charging about the country like that, in a fog. At your age, too! I could understand it if you were a young fellow like Teddy.” “Who is Teddy?" “He's a boy I know.” “A nice boy?” “Not so bad as boys go,” answer- ed Jacqueline, turning her head away. The old gentleman's eyes were fixed on her eager young face. As his head became cleared he found the situation more and morr:| astonishing. “I have a son named Teddy,” he remarked. “A nice son?” asked Jacqueline. “Not so bad, as sons go,” replied the old gentleman with a twinkle. “I think you are getting better.” She removed the support of her R OWNE ‘far it is to the nearest house.” The old gentleman looked his amazement. “But what are you doing out here alone, if, as you say, you live in London, and are not lo- cated, as it were, hereabout “I—was out for a w a sort of | picn replied Jacqueline, “And I 'got lost. I was just sitting on the stile iking t over when you came @ g. It's a good job for | you I happ to be lost here. “It is a good job indeed,” replied the injured man. “But I don't| understand, my de g “Never mind. You don't have to understand.” He was look: at her clothes Hv‘ could see her plainly. He found it difficult to reconcile them with the mark of fa quality. “Now,” to sit here and not move back. I am going to g you. I'll run all the wi She vanished in the fog. She did not have to go far before | she found the beginnings of a vil- lage. She knocked up the first lighted cottage, and was told, to her relief, that there was a doctor who lived not far down the road He proved to be a man of action, He had a small car out in a min- ute, and drove off for the scene of the accident On the . way Jac-| queline told him she wanted to get | back to London right away. “If you really must get back .to London,” the doctor said, “I think you can just about do it. When we have got this gentleman back, my man will drive you to the main line station, and you will just have about time to catch the mail.” The injured man was brought te They bore the i said Jacqueline, t help for long enough to hear the report 1 i irged | O the doctor'’s house without much |[Kilburn.

She arrived at the Ma- Jestic at three o'clock in the morn- ing, after a sufficiently exciting | and tiring night. She wondered | how Mr. Carew was getting on, and | whether he was still out in the fog. She hoped so.
