JACQUELINE ON HER OWN by RICHARD STARR “ ‘Synopsis: Jacqueline Grey longed | for adventure. Her idea was rather - vague but she had a taste of it when she squandered her savings (o | dine at the Savoy and attend the| theater in regal style. But the| wages of a dress mode¢l at Byrams in London are meager, even for onc g0 beautiful as Jacqueline. O, she only had 500 pounds: then she could have ner fling, was her thought. But that was forgotten tomporarily by more pressing theughts that arose when she lost her job. For seven days she vainly sought work. She was nearly penni- less. Then she chanced to sec a no- tice in a newspaper that quicken=d | her pulse. The law firm of Rustum and Coles was secking her. A Visit to their officc brought unexpected | good fortune. A bequest of pounds awaited. James Booker, the old peddler to whom she had bexn 1ind, had repaid her. Her dream | shall become a reality! She shall have a fling! Chapter 7 MR.

She sat on the edge of the nar- row bed and gazed absently at her divided reflection in the mirror. “There’s poor old Dorothy, for in- stance. All she wanty in the world is Mr. Brown, a flat and a brown baby—I mean a baby Brown. She would be just the very wife| Mr. Brown wants; and just because | he could have her for the he thinks he wants me.” Brown turned up that very eve- ning. Mrs. Hubbard wheezed up| the stairs and announced him with mysterious awe. Evidently M Brown had impressed her fayor-| ably. | He was in the parlor with the | folding doors. Jacqueline gave an | exclamation of astonishment. He| was dressed in a frock coat, and a| shiny silk hat lay on the table. | “Why, what's the matter, Mr. Brown?” “I've been promoted to the floor,” #ald Brown, with a quiet pride. | “You mean a walker?” | Brown nodded. “Jacqueline,” ae| said, “I want to speak to you.

STEAMSHIP LINES WILL CO-OPERATE North German Lioyd and Hum- Durg-American in Agreement March 24 % operation” between the Hamburg- American and the North German Lloyd, Germany's two largest ship- ping lincs, is provided for in an agreement which is deseribed by the press as coming very close to amal- gamation of the two companies. The agreement means that the 350 passengér and cargo boats of both concerns, totalling more than 2,00,- 000 tons, will not henceforth com- pete against cach other and. the Hamburg-American linc will not be obliged to construct giant liners such as the Bremen and Aurora which re- quire enormous capital investment. Tflc entire traffic scrvice of both combpanies will be organized in such a manner as to climinate competi- tion between them thereby cutting down cxpenses and cnabling them to compete everywhere with foreign shipping lines. The profits of the two concerns will be equally divided. The Ham- burg-American’s net profit last year was 11,500,000 marks (about $2,750,- 000) and the North German Lloyd’s was 15,000,000 (about $3,600,000).
