But the warm smile which Jac- queline flashed at him comforted him. For a moment he had feared that she was laughing at him.
 But all that is my character, " she remarked. You said you were ,oing to tell me my fortune. That's different thing, you know" Not so different as you may hink," replied Teddy boldly. Your 'ortune depends lot on your char acter, you know. But one of these lays you are going to find waiting for you round one of those corners something which is going to make you happy"
 Gracious" murmured Jacqueline. [ hope so. I suppose you don't mean by any chance that you will De waiting there?"
 Teddy blushed. Good Lord, mo-" ne assured her, I'm not such oop-eyed idiot as to flatter myself hat I could-could influence your happiness in any way"
 Something miserable crept into Teddy's voice. Jacqueline turned away and looked out of the win dow. She thought it quite possible that this big, crop-headed boy, who blushed when she spoke to him, and threw grown men about the room like rag dolls. might indeed and quite easily influence her happiness. She was not so sure he had not already.
 Teddy became distinctly gloomy. For time he had forgotten him self. He had been talking to this girl as an equal. He had forgot ten that he was a penniless vagrant or nearly that for to Teddy Mont rose 250 pounds was a bagatelle
 A long and rather awkward si- lence intervened. Teddy, with look of misery on his face, could not help glancing at her profile. Twice Jacqueline caught him. She also
 
 blushed.
 Presently she could no longer stand the thought which was tor menting her. She turned right round and faced him bravely. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

 "Y-your nose?" gurgled Teddy. NO, was looking at your face"

 "Is it red?"
 Good Lord! No! It's the sweet est most entrancing-"
 q did not ask you if it is the sweetest, most entrancing- I asked you if it is red"
 "W-Well, perhaps it is bit, just least bit in the world on the red side"
 T thought as much" murmured Jacqueline, resignedly.
 She produced her little powder box and pad and began attending 70 the troublesome feature.
 Teddy turned his head away dis ,reetly, but had to look again be- ore the operation was completed. Ie caught an arch glance from her brown eyes, her small head tilted sideways towards him.
 Do you like red noses, Sir Lancelot?"
 Yes" murmured Teddy, hope fully.
 Then I think you are going to like mine quite heap" | q am" replied Teddy. But I say, you've got my name mixed up with somebody else. My name is Teddy Montrose. Who is Sir Whats his-name2 Is that the fellow you were dining with at Mascagni's tonight?"
