THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1930. SYNOPSIS: From a rather dicappointing time mingling with “those who sit about,” Jacqueline Grey retires to hum- ble quarters in Grays Inn Road. Teddy Montrose who she has given up because he is rich and she is poor remains uppermost in her thoughts. Illness and poverty sapp her strength and her spirits and in desperation she finally turns to Detective McAllister of Scotland yard, to relieve herself of the stolen dia- mond necklace. He amazes her by telling her she can keep it— that it is only an imitation— purchased by a very wealthy old gentleman for his wife whom he deceived as to its value. That night she tramped the streets, afraid to return to her lodgings. Chapter 35 HARD PHILOSOPHY Nine o'clock in the evening found Jacqueline wandering among dark and dreary streets, without thc slightest knowledge of where shc was or what she intended to do. She was so weakened by lack of food and her illness that she was dazed, and hardly knew what she | was doing. In sheer weariness she leancd against a railing and caught at it for support. A shadowy form came up, silent footed. Police again. man with cape over his shoulders. But she was friends with the palice now. The man laid a hand gently on her shoulder. “What's the matter, missy? Feel- ing queer?” He flashed the light of his lantbrn on her face. “Bless me!"” he exclaimed, “if it isn't Miss Jacqueline Grey. Well, i!l this isn’t a bit of luck! You come with me. You are just about all ini by the look of you. I'm Rogers. You remember Rogers, missy?" Jacqueline shook her head dully. She did not remember Rogers. “Never mind. You will presently when my wife gives you a cup of tea and fusses you a bit. I'm going home now, off duty, and you are coming with me! I've been looking for you for weeks.

She had learned her lesson and she tried to make this| small sum last as long as possible. But the time came when the nine pounds was on its last legs and! | the landiady with the ample waist- measurement and the expression of | a door presented a bill which Jac- queline was unable to meet. Jacqueline pleaded with her, but even her most wistful smiles made no impression on the heart of the landlady, who pointed out, with what Jacqueline felt was injustice, tthat even landladies must live. The bill amounted to 27 shillings, and Jacqueline's liquid assets were a little under six, She had long nce sold all she had which was caleable, except the necklace. She kept this only because she pre- sumed it was not saleable. The landlady seized her suitcase -ith the six shillings, and Jacque- line was promptly turned out with the promise that she could return and redeem her suitcase when she had the necessary money. She felt that she had been treated rather as if she was a thief. “The world has no pity for you if you are unlucky, my child,” Jac- queline said to herself. “You may \be wicked, but you mustn't be un- Tucky.” Thus far had Jacqueline, at the age of 19, progressed In worldly philosophy. So on a cold and dreary morning with a penetrating rain falling, she found herself in the streets with- out a home and without a penny in her purse. She had obtained one situation as a sewing hand in a small dress- making establishment, but after being there a week had fallen ill again and had been dismissed. It seemed also that you mustn't be i1l Now it was clear that fate was against her, It was useless to struggle against it any longer.

I've been looking for you ever since. I went to By- rams—that's where I got your name from. But they told me you had left, and they didn't seem to know where you had gone.” “But why have you been looking for me, Mr. Rogers?” “I'l tell you,” replied Rogers mysteriously. He went'to a cupboard and pro- duced from a box a sealed envelope. This he placed in the girl's lap. where she could get a job for the asking.

But when it came to the process (of starving, she found that it was easier to talk about than to en- dure. Besides, having lost Teddy, what did it matter? After all, Keswick Dell offered claims, said Arnold. The showings there are similar to those of the| Erickson dikes.
