| just beginning to realize 1t now. when it's too late. I'm the only son, you know, and I've sown some oats in my time-wild ones. Of course, the Old Top-that's the batter. you know-has always banged the table and roared, but the mater has smoothed things over and he has paid up. But lately the mater seems to have lost her charm somehow. The Old Top has been giving me q lot Of anXiety-a lot of anxiety"
 Jacqueline chuckled.
 Teddy dived down his collar and brought up a shilling suspended on string, He held it out to her.
 This is what it has come to-" he said. "The Old Top is rather con- ventional-does things by the book, as the saying goes. At our last ln- terview, which was rather warm, he handed me this in an envelope. Of course I thought it was q check until I found out. He told me to get out-just like that.
 That was the last I should ever have from him, he said. The heavy father business, you know. Never darken my doors again, and so on. Frightfully unoriginal. l told him so, but it didn't make him laugh. Very difficult to get a joke across to the Old Top. l thought he was pulling my leg at first, but l found he was ridiculously serious. My al loUance had been cut off, and the bank had been warned They wouldn't even give me an over draft"
 What is an overdraft?" enquircd Jacquelina, innocently.
 That's what you pay people with when you haven't got any money" explained Teddy, lucidly. That's what banks are for. What's the good of banks which will only pay out money which you have previously paid in to them? Rot, I call it."
 But what made your father so angry with you?" asked Jacqueline, vaguely conscious that the dreary gulf which separated her from all thoughts of Teddy Montrose was not perhaps so wide as she had imagined.
 T had been going the pace d bit; doing the knots as they say. And the Warwickshi7e Handicap put the lid on it.
 "The Warwickshire Handicap.' cried Jacquclinc, remembering the famous race on which she had ad- ventured five pounds.
 Yes" Teddy spoke with gloom. T owned and ran a horse named Prinkipo-"
 "Prinkipo," echoed Jacqueline. "Yes. Whats the matter?"
 T had some money on Prinkipo myself"
 Did you, though? I'm awfully

 Gee, so he should. You know ! something about racing, I can see. 1 Well, Prinkipo went down the hill. and altogether it cost me 17,000 pounds to foot the bill and clear up things generally"
 Seventeen thousand pounds," gasped Jacqueline, her big eyes 1 staring.
 "Of course, the Old Top had to pay most of it. And he was quite sore over it. believe me. I told him | it was the fortune of racing, and l that one must take the ups with the l downs, and that the world is full Of | a number of things. But he wouldn't listen to reason.
 He loses his temper very easily. | Very nasty man he is. And when he | has lost his temper it's simply no use trying to reason with him. Only makes him worse. He said the world was full of a number of fools, and I was the biggest of the lot. l Then he gave me this h an envelope, and his blessing

RANSOM WILL NOT
 BE PAID KIDNAPERS
Church Decides Money Would
 Only Cause More Trouble

Toronto, April 16 P)-The Rev. Dr, James Endicott, head of the for eign mission board of the United Church in Canada. said today it was unlikely any attempt would be made 10 provide the S200,000 ransom de- manded by Yangtse bandits for the release of the Rev. C. A. Bridgman Canadian missionary captured at Chanchow, China. i-
 He declared payment of the ran- som might jeopardize the safety of scores of fellow workers in the mis- sion field.
 Church Has Received No Plea
 The Canadian church," he said 'has never received a direct request for ransom, gut it is not impossible I imagine the British government would discourage any attempt al payment for the release of captives as it might create an epidemic oi lawlessncss. The mission out there probably will deal with the situa- tion."
 Dr. Endicott expressed the opiniol that MT. Bridgman would not long be held captive, pointing out that many missionaries have been kid mapped before in a similar manner but usually were eventually released
