et g e g iR - A ¥, BJACQU ON HE by RICHA SYNOPSIS: An exciting noc- turnal adventure takes Jacque- line’s thoughts from Teddy and other things. In a vain effort to win Jacqueline for the for- tune he mistakenly believes she has inherited, Arthur Carew stalls his cat in the country and forcibly makes love to her. Jacqueline tricks him and es- capes. Lost in the fog she sees a moter accident and rescues an old gentléeman from beneath his automobile, She goes for aid and when the old man is made comfortable in the country doc- tor's home, catches the mail train back to London after promising to see the grateful old gentleman again. Chapter 29 BILLS AND CHECKS By this time, Jacqueline was very far from eing a rich woman. She had arrived at the stage where .shvl was afraid to look at her bank book knowing that the end of her solvency was gefting shockingly near. The name on the card the nice old gentleman had given her was Paul Dexter, with an address in the city Four days later when she thought he would be fully re- covered from his injuries she rang up Mr. Dexter. “Is that Mr. Dexter?” asked Jac queline, Dexter speaking,” was the sharp rejoinder. “Who is it?" “How are you this morning?” :d Jacqueline nicely. I'm all right, thanks. Who's speaking “I'm afraid you won't know my name,” replied Jacqueline, “as you have never heard it. But I am the girl you met the other night out in the country.” “Eh—what's that?” came the sharp voice from the other end of the wire. “Say that again.” “The girl you met the other night in the country when you had your motor accident.” “I don't know what you are talking about. I did not meet a girl in the country the other night, because I have not been out of London for at least a month. I have never had a motor accident in my life. You've got the wrong num- ber.” Jacqueline began to feel slightly annoyed. After all he had asked her to call. “1f your name is Paul Dexter you are the man I want,” she said, patiently. “You gave me your card four nights ago when your car was smashed up, and you asked me to ring you up and see how you were getting on—" “Look here,” Mr. Dexter broke in brusquely, “you may think this is funny, but I don't. You are wasting my time, and I am busy. Please get off the line.” Jacqueline was about to give Mr. Dexter a. piece of her mind when she heard a clank. “Well, of all the base ingratitude,” she said, as she left the instrument. “He looked such a nice old gen- tleman, too.” She dismissed Mr. Dexter from her mind as an ungrateful and de- ceitful old man. So she turned once again to the business of seeing a gay time. It was becoming more than ever a business now. She tried to inter- est herself in theatres and dances, and had a perfectly miserable time for nearly a week. During that time she saw no more of Mr. Carew of of Mrs. Por- ter Mason or of Teddy Montrose. The more she tried to put Teddy out of her mind, the more she found herself thinking and dream- ing of him, and picturing all the| wonderful things that might have been if only she had been really| rich. She dreamed, too, and the dreams were the most wonderful of all. She was always rich in the dreams, and she always made the same little speech. “What does it matter if you are poor, Teddy?” she would say. “Just never mind about your silly old father. What does money matter? And, anyway, I have enough for two. If you don't feel that you can share my money, the same as 1 would yours, if you had heaps, IN give it away. I've been poor before.” And Teddy would smile at her in her dreams. Nowhere in the world was there another smile like Ted- dy’s. And he also always made the same little speech. “The world is full of a number of things." After that he would take her in his arms and hold Her very tight. And that was perhaps the best part of the dream. But stern reality was a different matter. Exactly how stern it was she realized when she received & telephone call in her sitting room at the Majestic, and found herself| speaking with the manager of the “Bt’m’y to worry you, Miss Grey,” the manager said urbanely. “But your account is overdrawn.” “Oh—I'm so awfully sorry,” re- lled Jacqueline, in her new man- ser. which she managed very well “Oh—that's quite all right, Miss Grey. Just thought I would draw your attention to it in case you had overlooked it. I always make a ELINE R OWN RD STARR -— (point in these c ing up for instructions. He paused expectantly. “You see, Miss Grey,” he went on, “we have just received your check for 60 | pounds, made out to the manage- ment of the Majestic hotel.” { “B-but I thought that was paid,” faltered Jacqueline. “I gave them that a day ago.” “They have only just paid it in. Your balance is only 20 pounds odd. So if you will send along an- other 40 pounds, with a little ex- jtra for balance, everything will be quite in order. Sorry to have trou- | bled you, Miss Grey.” To think that she could have {spent all that money in so short a time. The 500 pounds had not i]xwlrd so long as she had expected | Now it seemed there was nothing before her but to return to Byrams lor some similar establishment. At all costs her hotel bill must {be paid—her future could wait. | She spent all the rest of that day |and thé next interviewing unpleas- ‘ant people who dealt in second- harld wardrobes. It was heart- | breaking busine There was a |vast and significant difference be- |tween buying things and selling them again; and the difference be- | tween the prices was apalling. | By the end of the second day she had disposed of practically everything she had bought, with the exception of the clothes she stood in and the one small suitcase. They were sold at ruinous prices, but in the end she was able to send the 40 pounds to the bank, and enough to cover the further bill due from the hotel with a matter of 10 pounds or SO OVer. She had already given notice to vacate her rooms that night, and it did not tdke her long to do her packing. The suitcase was ready in her bedroom. She had only to put on her hat and coat, then she would walk out of the Majestic and out of this life of ease and elegance which she realized with all its drawbacks on the whole very much to her taste. She was in her dainty little sit- ting room, looking sadly round it for the last time. “Ah, well,” she said sorrowfully, “it's no good being an idiot, my dear. You knew this had to come, so why get all sobby about it? You've had your 500 pounds, and you've made it go, as you always said you would. You never thought it would go so quickly as it has; but times are expensive since the war and it's gone anyway, so it’s no use moaning about it. Pull your- self together, Jacqueline, my dear, and don't be a sissy.” There was a gentle knock at the door. “Come in,” said Jacqueline, with- out looking round. She was expecting the red-headed boy in buttons with her receipted bill. She heard the door open and somebody come into the room. \ “Bring it to’ me please,” she said. There was no reply, and she turned round in her chair. Teddy Montrose, with his hat in his hand, his coat over his arm and his white expanse of shirt shining, was standing in the room. Jacqueline stood up, chalk. (Copyright, 1930, Richard Starr) Good resolutions are forgotten for an ecstatic moment in Mon- day’s installment.
