SYNOPSIS: Jacqueline Grey loaged for adventure. Her idea was rather vague but she had taste of it when she squan- dered her savings to dine at the Savoy and attend the the atcr in regal style. But the wages of a dress model at By rams in London are meager, even for one so beautiful as Jarquelinc. Oh, if she only had 800 pounds; then she could have her fling, was her thought. But that was forgotten tempOrar- fly by more pressing thoughts that arose when she lost her job. Fer seven days she vainly sought work. She was nearly penniless. Then she chanced to see notice in newspaper that quickened her pulse. The law firm of Rustum and Coles was seeking her. A visit to their office brought unexpected good fortune. A bequest of 530 pounds awaited. James Booker, the old peddler to whom she had been kind, had repaid her. Her dream shall become reality. She shall have her fling!

WAM JACQUELINE| I'll ON HER OWN.
by RICHARD STARR

Jacqueline's eyes glittered dan gerously.
 Tt is useless for you to hold out, he said gloomily ."I want you; and they say that a man has only to want thing. enough and he gets it ."
 That must be very nice" mur- mured Jacqueline, sweetly.
 A hollow cough sounded near them.
 "What's that?" demanded Brown,
 That's MT. Penfold," said Jac- queline.
 She nodded toward the folding doors.
 "It's a bedroom on the other side.1 she explained. MT. Pen folds bedroom. He's ill" Great Caesarw gasped Brown, aghast. What a house. Can't we go for a walk round the block9"
 Why not?" agreed Jacqueline. "I'll get my hat"
 Walking in the Pimlico squares they found peace; and MT. Brown proceeded further to enlarge his plan of campaign.
 Jacqueline gently but firmly re- pulsed all his advances. You see, MT. Brown, you only think you love me. Really, you know nothing about me. You like-or think you hke-the color of my eyes, the color of my hair, and the shape of my mouth and the way I walk and hold myself
 50 I do," said Brown.
 "Well, that's all right" replied Jacqueline. But if you marry me you wouldn't marry just my mouth and my hair and so on-and there are things inside me that would frighten you. They almost fright en me sometimes"
 "Ill risk those," said Brown stur- dily. "I1l give you anything you

want"
 "Wlll you? But how do you know you can? You think I want home-a flat, perhaps; some furniture; housework to do dur ing the daytime; your company in the evening; a-a-nursery-"
 "Well?" said Brown, softly
 q don't want any of those things -"
 What do you want them"
 First, I want adventure. am nearly 20. Life ought to be an adventure to girl at that age Once a girl settles down to a flat and furniture, her chance of ad- venture is over. I want to get up every morning and say to myself: Now, what is going to happen to me today'?"
 T don't believe you love me-" he said, bitterly.
 T don't, MT. Brown" Its that fellow, Keswick Dell" Jacqueline saw her chance: You need not worry about MT. Dell. He is far more interested in Dorothy Dalton than in me" What"
 MT Brown stopped short in his walk while one might have counted twenty. When he resumed Jacque- line could see him thinking.
 Haven't you seen it?" she con tinued innocently. T thought every body knew. Of course, Dorothy's jolly girl and heaps too good for him. But I shall be very much surprised if she doesn't accept him. Very soon afterwards Jacqueline said she must leave him, and MT Brown raised no objection. He was still thinking.
 Its working" murmured Jac- queline, as she watched him walk away with his head down. q shouldn't be surprised if Dorothy gets her flat after all before she's too fat for her job. Men are strange. I don't believe any man really begins to want a girl until he knows somebody else is after her.

Life is very difficult" Jacque- line informed herself after her statuesque friend had gone.
 She sat on the edge of the mar row bed and gazed absently at her divided reflection in the mirror.
 NThere's poor old Dorothy, for instance. All she wants in the world is MT. Brown, a flat and brown baby-I mean a baby Brown, She would be just the very wife MT. Brown wants; and just because he could have her for the asking, he thinks he wants me"

Brown turned up that very eve ming. Mrs Hubbard wheezed up the stairs and announced him with mysterious, awe. Evidently MT Brown had impressed her favor ably.
 He was in the parlor with the folding doors. Jacqueline gave an exclamation of astonisnment. He was dressed in a frock coat, and a shiny silk hat lay on the table. Why, what's the matter, MT. Brown?"
 I've been promoted to the floor, . said Brown with quiet pride.
 You mean a walker?"
 Brown nodded. "Jacqueline," he said, T want to speak to you. May l sit down?"
 "Yes, do, MT. Brown" she an- swered sweetly. What do you want to speak to me about?"
 I've been thinking over what we were talking about last time we went out together said Brown. T love you, Jacqueline! I still love you as much as ever-even more I love-What's that?"
 There was a noise outside the door as if the ball valve of the cistern had stuck again.
 T rather think it's Mrs. Hub- bard" said Jacqueline.
 "Listening outside the door, dc you mean?" cried Brown.
 T shouldn't be over surprised murmured Jacqueline. You see she takes a motherly interest 1T me-
 She went leisurely to the dool and opened it. A door on th' other side of the narrow hall wa gently closing. sJacqueline snuffee the air delicately and returned tt Mr. Brown.
