ton for Washington's convalescent
children, with accommodations for so

farm house, with low dormer windows,
sunny play rooms and bed rooms for

Davis and Miss Marguerite Hagner,
took over the children's Christmas this
year, planning the details themselves.
Nancys grandmother, Mrs John r.
Williams, and her mother, Mrs. Joseph

 That's a great deal of money" Jacquelinc said wisely.
 Not so much as all that. When it's gone I shall be a penniless or plan again.
 But why need it go?" demanded Jacqueline.
 Don't know. It's a way monoy has when it is in my company. Money never stays on me somehow. IT it hadn't been for that peculiari- 1y I shouldn't have lost the good opinion of the Old Top
 What are you going to do with it?" quered Jacqueline.
 T was thinking of one more glorious bust-up to last about q week, or perhaps we could stret ch it to a fortnight
 Jacqueline passed over the ''ws'' without comment, but he saw the flash in her eyes and recognized a kindred spirit. That in fact Was just what she was doing with a not much larger sum. although Tedd.' did not know it. But a change was coming over Jacqucline. She felt q sense of responsibility for this overgroWn boy.
 You ought to invest it in relia- hle government securities" she told him. remembering the advice oi Nr. Rustum, the solicitor.
 Teddy grinned. That's just what you would do, isn't it?" le chuckled, and Jacqucline laughed.

Although a perfecti! innocent Irritation, his acquaintanc, with the lady of the chorus hat cost Teddy great deal of money which the "Old Top" had had tt pay.

 The theft Of the necklace was immediately made known to the police, and in consequence every person was searched in vain,
 The police were mystified until information was brought to them by three mon who occupied a flat adjoining the night club that | young woman had made a clean escape from the raid. The yourS woman had climbed out of a win dow and crawled perilously along z. narrow ledge to gain the fire stair case of the adjoining flats, and Ly telling a fanciful tale to the three men who gave the information, had prevailed upon them to allow hor to pass through their flat.
 So ran the story. With it was a description of the stolen necklace, consisting of S2 graduated dil- monds and a star pendant: and a description of the one girl who had escaped the raid. This was q most true and lifelile word-picture of Jacqueline Grey
 The police were confident th1t the glrl was the one who had stolen the diamond necklace, the story said.
 Jacquclinc dropped the paper an sat looking in front of her with an | expression of frozen horror. GraI- ually her eyes came round until they rested on Tcddy's face.
 Mir. Montrose." she said in | choked voice, do you-believe s-stole those diamonds?"
 Teddy's face flamed. Me" h; gasped, quite harshly. DO yot take me for such an outsider ,. that"
 No, I don't" she returned rathol wearily. But l had to ask yol You sec the circumstances look s; black against me. l am the onH person apparently who escaped, all. SD naturally they would think was the thief"
 Teddy drew long breath throus his nostrils.
 If anybody in trousers suggest. anything of that sort to me I'll dcd with him." he said grimly.

 "So that" concluded Teddy, '';s the story of my purple past. And TOW you know that I am down. at-heel advcnturer not fit to associ- ate with you.
 Jacqucline smiled at him. q don't think that at all,' she told him.

And about that fool ishncss of mine I want to consult you, because there is a mystery at tached to It."
 "A mystery cried Teddy. "So there is. Are you by any chance the lady who lost the diamond necklace? But, of course you can't be. You weren't wearing diamonds. You had your pearls on.'
 'The lady who lost the diamond recklace?' repeated Jacquelinc. ~ I'm afraid I don't understand. Do you mean that somebody lost a dla- mond necklace at the night club 2"

 NO. To tell the truth I haven't t been thinking about papers today
 All the morning she had be2n thinking about this very appoint- ment which Teddy had made vita her for the afternoon.

 He produced a morning paper from his pocket and handed it to Jacqueline. I'm glad you haven't seen this yet, because it's rather q serious matter" ..
 Jacqueline then read the aston | ishing story of the raid on Circo'. ! night club, a story which grew 1 more astonishing as it went on.
 The raid itself, from the news paper point of view, was sccondar, to the loss of a diamond necklace by a prominent society day who's, name was suppressed.
