,vour word just IS whole-heartedly
as YOU accept mine. AS a matter
of fact. I have a little scheme in
connection with this much-dis-
cussed check. Quite a pleasant lit
tie scheme, 1 think you will agree.
Since you place so much value on
it. I fully intend to give it to you,
but YOU must allow me to give it
/ to you at my own time and in my
own way"
"When ?" she demanded.
ct have been thinking about
that" replied Lutman, land I fiat
l. ter myself that have hit on the
psychological moment"
"When ?" repeated the girl.
ITO put the final touch Of happA,
ness to what I hope and believe
will be the happiest day Of your
life, Jacqueline, am going to
hand the check to .you on your
wedding day. It will be the first
present you will receive as q
BRIDE"
For some moments Jacqueline
was silent, frowning thoughtfully.
So that was the game! She might
have known that there was some.
thing behind this genial mood OF
the Colonels. She should have re-
membered that a blackguard is
still a blackguard even though he
wears an amiable smile.

to me?"
"My dear Jacqueline, I have just
told you that as soon as the we'd
ding is over.
'"There's going to be no we'd
ding" interrupted acquelin
angrily. "I told you so this morn
ling, and I meant it. You couldn't
bully me into it then, and you
can't bully me into it now.
Whether you give me the check or
keep it, I'm not going to marry
Jim Assem-"
Colonel Lftman smiled indul-
gently.
"You misunderstood me, my
DEAR" he began, but Jacqueline
sprang to her feet and cut him
short with an impatient gesture.
ct understand you perfectly
WELL" she said. IT told you this
morning that you were a low
down Matchmaking bully, and
everything you've said this after
noon has shown me that I was
right. You're still threatening and
bullying and trying to blackmail
me into marrying Jim Asson, but
you haven't succeeded, and you
won't succeed, and it's waste az
time to discuss it any further"
He laid a hand on her arm,
forced her gently but firmly onto
the settee, and seated himself be-
side her.
you're mistaken, my DEAR" he
said. IT don't blame you, after my
foolish display Of temper this
morning"
"I'm not going to marry Jim
Asson, and there's nothing more to
be said. I'm going"
She tried to rise, but Lutman's
hand frightened on her arm and
held her.

lpect of the marriage. But it was
a dangerous sort of weapon to
leave in his hand if she carried
out her plan and disappeared.
There would be no reason then
why he shouldn't use it if it suited
his convenience.
Jacqueline finished her packing,
put on her hat, and returned to the
sitting room. Mrs. Smith, with the
same look of patient resignation
on her face, and her wisp of hand
kerchief still in her hand, was
asleep on the couch, and Jacque-
line, noiselessly closing the door,
fetched her bag from the bedroom
and went out She would leave
the bag, she decided, at the station
cloakroom and pick it up in the
morning, so that when she set out
the next day for Manchester or
Birmingham or wherever she
might decide to go, her mother
would have no cause to suspect.
And then she must see Colonel
Lutman. If she could not some
how persuade him to part with
that check, she had packed her
bag for nothing.
When Jacqueline, having depos-.
tied her bag in the cloakroom of
st. Pancras station, reached the
select thoroughfare in the neigh
borhood of Park Lane in which
stood the block of luxuriously ap-
pointed service flats where Colonel
Lutman resided, she had still no
definite plan Of campaign; and as
she stepped into the spacious
entrance hall and caught sight
of the impressive unif formed
attendant in the glass-parti-
toned Office, she hesitated, sud-
denly realizing that there was not
one chance in a hundred Of Colonel
Lutman parting with the check,
and that she was ~ involving
herself in another unpleasant in
terview for nothing. And then up
went her chin at that defiant angle
which was the despair Of her
mother, and she STROBE in, asked
LUZ OO1O1c1 AuIH1dI, gave uCI
name, waited, with a strange thrill
Of excitement, while the attendant
announced her on the telephone,
and few moments later was en-
tering the Colonel's sitting room.
AS she went into the room the
Colonel rose from the depths of a
big armchair and came forward to
meet her with a genial smile.
"This is charming of you, JAG
queline," he said affably. '"The
charm Of the unexpected, eh?"

CHAPTER 33


JACQUELINE managed to re-
turn Lutman's smile as she en-
tered his apartment, and ne leu
her to the big settee, placed
cushion behind her as she settieo
herself in the corner, and stooo
smiling down at her.
"And now a cup Of tea or a
cocktail?" he inquired.
Neither, thanks, Colonel Lut-
man."
"a cigaret?"
He offered her his case, and Jac-
queline took a cigaret, accepted
light, and sat for some moments
inhaling the smoke and wondering
how to begin. Now that she was
here face to face with the Colonel,
the conviction that she had set
herself an impossible task sudden
w returned to her. Of course ne
would not part with the check, ana
in any case she had not the least
idea how to set about the task OF
persuading him.
"And to what, my dear Jacque-
line, am I indebted for this charm
ing surprise ?" asked the Colonel.
The girl took a deep breath.
Colonel Lutman," she said. Its
no use beating about the bush.
I've come about that check"
The Colonel screwed his eyeglass
into position and smiled again.
my dear Jacqueline," he said
easily, "there is no need to trouble
yourself about that. Your mother
was wanting a little money in a
hurry and I was only too glad to
be of service to her. After all, 1t
is quite a trifing sum-"
Seven hundred and fifty dollars
isn't trif1ing sum, Colonel Lut-
man. Not to mother. She had no
right to ask you to cash the check
because she must have known that
there was no money to meet it.
But want to believe that mother
was just foolish. She didn't realize
that she was doing anything really
wrong, and she had probably per-
suaded herself that before the
check was returned from the bank
something would happen so that
she could repay you. Mothers like
that. She persuades herself OF
anything she wants to believe, and
Ina quite sure she meant to repay
you"
Lutman raised a hand.
There is no need to discuss that,
Jacqueline," he said. "The ques-
ton of repayment doesn't arise
Between your mother and my
self. -"
But it does arise" interrupted
the girl. "You said this morn
ing :"

chat we forget this morning
Both of us, I am sure, said things
which we did not really mean and
would never have said if we hadn't
been little upset. I admit that
was perhaps a trif1e- er-dicta-
torial, but you must try to make
allowances. AS Jim Asson's
trustee was naturally distressed
at what you told me. I am ex-
tremely fond Of Jim. and I'm afraid

Home Baked Soil

PREVENT ANY danger of your
indoor seed paintings damping off
by sterilizing the soil or buying the
commercially treated steriloam.
Figure 1 of the Garden Graph
shows baking the soil to sterilize
it, and kill any weed seed present
Bake one hour at medium tenn
perature. Do not bake it too long,
since you may thus kill the bacteria
necessary to the soil. Allow this
to cool completely before sowing
seed.
Figure shows steaming the soil
after it has been prepared for
planting. Pour boiling water over
the soil as shown, using four and
one-half gallons to box 1870 by 3
inches high. Allow the soil to dry
two days before planting seeds.
Another good method used after
your seed fiat is ready for planting
is the use of formaldehyde dust.
Scatter this through the top inch
of soil, using two and one-half-
inch flower pot full to a fiat. Then
water thoroughly and allow to dry
out before planting seeds.

II was a little over-7ealous on his
behalf, and you, quite naturally
resented it. Well leave it at that,
shall We?"
Jacuueline eyed him doubtfully.
1t was hard to reconcile this genial,
smiling Colonel Lutman with the
man who only a few hours ago
had tried to blackmall her into
marrying Jim Asson. The very
fact that, even when every allow
ance had been made for the shock
of her refusal and his zeal on be-
| half of Jim Asson, he had threat
ened her with the check, made it
hard to accept his present geniality
at it's face value. But it was OF nc
use quarreling with him again.
Gail right" smiled Jacquellne
"We1l agree that we both behaved
rather badly this morning, and for
get it. But there's still the ques-
ton of the check. Mother owes
you $3.50, and she can't possibly re-
pay it at the moment"
"I suggest that we forget that
too"
"But you've got to be paid
Mother is dreadfully unhappy be-
cause she can't repay you now"
There's no need for your mother
to distress herself, Jacqueline. Il
she wishes to repay me, she car
do so just whenever it suits hel
convenience. There's not the least
hurry"
Again Jacqueline gave him q
quick, doubtful glance. It sounded
too good to be true.
"In that case, Colonel Lutman,
she said, "will you accept my wore
that you will be repaid? It may
take little time, but promise
you that it shall all be paid event
ually. Will that dO?"
"My dear, say no more about it. .
"You accept my word that the
money will be paid ?"
"Of course"
"And you'll give me the check? ?
She was watching his face as she
spoke and did not fail to note the
slight Tightening of his lips ano
the steely CLINT that showed for
moment in his eyes. But at once
he smiled again.
"Ah, yes-the check" he sale
amiably. "And why do you wan
me to give you the check?"
Jacqueline shrugged a shoulder
cts only natural tn t mother
should want it back, isn't it," sh'
said. 'I suppose she realizes nov

could discover any meaning in 1T.
It all seemed at first sight so
meaningless. Jim Asson wanted
to marry her; Colonel Lutman
wanted him to marry-wanted it
so badly that it was a fair infer
ence that he stood to gain by the
marriage; but what joint object
they could have was a complete
mystery. She could only suppose
that they were under the impress
sion that Jim would be marrying
money; but if that were the object,
it was hard to see how the Colonel
would benefit. Besides, after that
affair with the check at CObenzil,
he could hardly be under any de-
fusion as to the state of the family
exchequer. But if they were not
after money, what were they
after?
She recalled all Miss Harringay
had told her, but beyond the fact
that both Jim and the Colonel were
undoubtedly crooks of some kind,
she found no clue to the mystery
there. Ransack her brain as she
would, her ingenuity could discover
mo form of crookedness which
would supply a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of the Colonels anxiety
for her to become Jim Asson's
wife. Obviously, the scheme,
whatever it might be, depended
chiefly on her.
Jacqueline smiled as she reached
that point in her reflections. IF
she was essential to the scheme,
there was one simple way of de-
feating it. If she were to disap-
pear, the whole plan would sudden
ly collapse. The more she thought
of it, the more she was convinced
that it was the best way out of
the whole affair. She would go
away and get job somewhere
and tell no one, not even her
mother, where she was. She
would tell Charles, perhaps, but
no one else, and until the whole
affair had blown over her mother
must be satisfied to get news Of
her from Charles.
She began to pack bag, but
before the task was finished she
paused, frowning thoughtfully.
That check. She had forgotten it
for the moment, but she realized
now that she could not afford to
forget it. So long as there was
the least chance of the marriage
taking place, Colonel Lutman, she
was sure, would make no use of
it. He might threaten her with it,
but to carry cut his threat would
obviously put an end to all pros
