approached by an Eskimo dog* He
follows the dog to a gambling house
and meets the animals mistress
coming out with a large amount of
money. She Is beautiful and In dis
tress and he follows her. After
protecting her from two assailants
he takes her In charge, and puts
her In his own rooms for the rest
of the night. He returns a little
later to find a murdered man In frt*
rooms and Jacqueline dazed, with
hef memory gone.
CHAPTER III—Continued.
I did not search the dead man’s
pockets. I ti caced nothing who he was.
and did not want to know. My sore
i desire was to acquit Jacqueline of his
ieath, In the world's eyes.
That he hud come deservedly by It
( was positive.
Four o'clock wns striking while I
was climbing,, back Into the room
again. Jacqueline lay ou the bed In
the same posit inn ;-*ihe had not stirred
during that hour.
I took r the knife from the floor
where I had flung It, scrubbed It. and
placed It In my suitcase. Then I-
perubbed tha flopr clean, afterward
rubbing It with a soiled rag to make
Its appearance uniform.
I thought I had finally removed all
traces of the sflfHlr; but, coming back,
I perceived something upon the floor
which had escaped ray notice. It was
the leather collar of the* Eskimo dog.
> with Its Mg sliver studs and the mak
er's silver name plate.
All this while the animal had re
mained perfectly quiet In the room
crouching at Jacqueline's feet and be-
»Me the bed.
I came to the conclusion that there
might hare been a ,struggle; that It
had run to Its mistress's assistance,
and that the collar had been tom
from It by the dead man.
I picked the collar up and carried
tt into the next room and held It un
der the light. The letters of the
maker’s name were almost obliterated,
hut after a careful study I was able
tot make them out. The name was
Maclay A Kobltallle, and the place of
manufacture Quebec. This confirmed
my belief concerning Jacqueline’s na
tivity.
1 pried the plate from the lea '
and slipped It Into my pocket. I
the broken collar Into my suit case,
together with the dagger, and then I
not about parklqg my things for the
Journey which we were to undertake.
When I had finished packing I went
back to Jacqueline and sat beside
her while she slept.
In a little while it would begin to
lighten, and the advent of the d_
. filled me with a sort of terror.
I watched the sleeping girl. Who
was she? How could she sleep so
calmly after that night’s deed? The
c.—: '
girl alone in the city, the robbers, the
dog, the dead man. und the one who
had escaped me.
Jacqueline's hag lay open on the
bureau and disgorged bills. There
were rolls and rolls of them—eight
thousnnd dollars did not seem too
much.
I raised her hand and held it In my
own. and I sat thus until the room be
gun to lighten,"watching her c’l
while.
At Inst she stirred, her eyes opened,
and she sat up. She^azed at me with
apathy, hut there was also recogni
tion In her look.
"Do you know me, Jacqueline?” I
asked.
"My friend Paul.”
"Jacqueline, I am going to take you
home,” I said, hoping that she would
tell me something, but I dared ask her
no more. I meant to take her to Que
bec and make Inquiries there.

she did not seem to understand that
there was anything strange In the sit-
nation in which we found ourselves. I
did not knoV whether this was due to
her mental state or to that struirge
unsoph 1st lent ion which I had ulready
observed in her.
After the meal was ended and w-e
had fed the dog, Jacqueline Insisted
on washing the dishes, and I showed
her the kitchenette and let her do so,
though I should never have need for
the cheap plates and cups again.
"Now, -Jacqueline, we must go," I
said.
I placed her neckpiece about her. I
closed her bng, stuffing the bills inside,
nnd hung it on her arm. J wanted
her tQrhetf me bank her money for her,
hut did not IlkeyiQ ask her. - .However,
of her own,account she took out the
bills and handed them to roe. • •
It was past eight when we left the
house. I carried my suitcase and,
stopping at a neighboring express of
fice. had it sent to the Grand Central
station. And fhon I decided to take
the dog to the animals’ home.
I did not like to do so, but ./was
afrnhf. In the necessity of protecting
Jacqueline, that Its 'presence might
possibly prove-embarrassing, so I todlf
It there and left It, with Instructions
that It was to he kept until I sent
for It.

"If you are tttklbg madam* to Ber

plained, looking at me with benevolent
patience.* And seeing'that T~was wholly
disconcerted, she added:
“Perhaps nindame might prefer to
make her own selection." -
As I stood in the center of the store,
apparently a stumbling block to every
shopj|er, Jacqueline flitted here and
there,—u«444—a comfortable assortment

I wondered, as we strolled up Fifth

what she remembered.,, and what
..thoughts went coursing through her
head. That childlike faith o# hers was
marvelously sweet. I believed that
to her forgetfulness as a
shield to shelter not only herself but
me, and would not voluntarily recall
what she hkd forgotten. .
It was necessary to buy her an out
fit ^of clothes, and this problem wor
ried be a good deal. I was afraid that
she would not know what to buy; but,
as the morning wore away, I realized
that her mental faculties were not
dimmed in the least. — 1 —- :
She observed everything, 'clapped

Is- several very attractive styles that
open down the front "and demand a
vest or blouse to be worn with them.
These vests are not always of th£ sub-
-stantial kind, but are varied, accord
ing to the demands of occasion and
weather. Sorm&imes they are of crisp
organdie and lace and sometimes of
plain weaves In fiber silk. It Is the
vest that adapts the sweater coat to
the day and the occasion.
The last- word in these attractive
late-summer sweaters is spoken and
the picture above conveys It to you.
Of the two models shown, the one at
the right Is the most novel. It is made
of fiber silk, knitted (by machinery)
In a wonderfully pretty funcy stitch,
with a facing that forms a collar In
a simpler stitch. The belt Is knitted
to match the facing, and one end of
it slips through a slide in the other
end; both are pointed and fasten with
a loop over a pear! button. The cuffs
and a border about the bottom of the
sweater are knitted In stUl another
stitch, and a narrow band of black in
troduced la them gives a sharp and
brilliant color contrast. This sweat

narrow straps which It slips through,

shapely and fine, and there Is a neat
