Chapter 5
THE KICH MISS CKET
The bumpy road Jacqueline bad
traveled to her sudden atata of af
fluence had given her no acquain
tance with banks but Ha Intricacies
were explained by the manager.
She waa Impressed by his cour
tesy and consideration. She signed
her name in a big boo and re
ceived a check-book and the man
ager explained its mysteries.
.iRcniieline marveled at the mighty
Dower of the check-book. 8he still
was a little bit doubtful. She
vnlcA her thoUKht.
"But supposing I wanted a lot
40 or 60 Dounds: would they have
it now? I mean without having to
send out for it?" she added.
"Yes." reDlled the manager with'
out smiling. "I think the bank Is
mial even to such a strain as that.
But do you want so much? It Is
rather a lot of money to carry
nhnilt with VOU.-
'I may be going away shortly,"
Jacqueline explained, -rot a uou
dav. vou see: and as I should be
awav some weeks. I should want
r.ther a lot of money."
'No need to carry money about
with vou." the manager returned
"That ia the use of a check-book.
Pay your bills by check and if you
want cash send us a check and we
will send treasury notes by regis
tared nost."
Jacqueline thanked the manager
and with five pounds In her purse
walked out A young man smiled
at her. She stared him down
coldly.
"Cheekl ah murmured. "A
fortune hunter no doubt."
Jacqueline went home. Home
was an attic room In the less se
lect part of Plmllco. It wu about
8 feet by 10, and here Jacqueline
had lived since her retreat tronf
Byrams.
The celling sloped down to meet
the bed. Jacqueline had a habit ol
opening her eyes and sitting bolt
upright with one movement. It was
an attribute of extreme youth, but
It was not suitable to Mrs. Hub
bard's attic room.
Also Jacqueline's morning course
of physical exercises, which she had
always Indulged In at Byrams to the
scorn of Emily Olbbs, was some
what circumscribed. Apart from
the limitations of the ceiling, the
floor was bare boards, set out with
ceometrlcal patterns In tin tacks,
only half driven In and painful to
lie on.
"But never mind," said Jacque
line, as the dingy house came In
sight. "Mrs. Hubbard and that
room will soon be a memory of the
unlamentcd past, my dear. The
thing that never happens has happened."
Mrs. Hubbard admitted her. She
was a large woman with about the
same amount of expression as a
door. There was nothing lndefln
able about Mrs. Hubbard's personal
aUnosDhere. It was gin and cloves.
At odd times during the week
Mra Hubbard was disposed to be
friendly with her lodgers; but on
Saturday evenings ner moito was
'Business is Business."
This was Monday. Jacqueline's
bill was unpaid. Now the girl pro
duced a little bundle of treasury
notes and peeled one off the top,
handlrur It to the landlady.
Mrs. Hubbard's expression soft
ened momentarily. Jacqueline be
gan to experience the thrill of
power which wealth brings.
"P'raps you would like the first
floor front, my dear?" suggested
Mrs. Hubbard. "ItH be hempty
week after next. There's a sunny
aspect In the afternoon between 3
and 5; and the bed's chalnsprlng
with an overlay of pure horse-hair
my first husband's gift." Mrs.
Hubbard sniffed. "The carpet's
haxmtnleter."
"I'll let you know later on, Mrs.
Hubbard," said Jacqueline.
"Vou may call me mother. If you
like, dear. Most of my lodgers call
me mother. They get fond of me
and It sounds homely."
Jacqueline fled upstairs. "If only
she would stick to gin or to cloves."
she murmured. "It's the combina
tion that beats me."
In the attic she sat down and
regarded herself In the mirror.
ThA trlass was cracked diagonal
ly, and Jacqueline's little face looked
as if it nad oeen suceo. in
imperfectly Joined up.
the wagged her linger at this
distorted reflection. "Now, look
here, Miss Orey, you be careiui.
You're a rich woman now, and
you've got to keep your head. Don't
let it get swelled. Just take your
self In hand and don't think you're
everybody Just because you've got
a check book.
"Also, don't no persuading your
self that you cut any ice In the way
of prettlness, as ine Americans pun
it; because If you do you'll be rid
ing lor a spiu.
"There's one thing, this glass
would take the conceit out of a 50,-000-a-year
screen beauty In about
two peeps, ureal neavens, tuuu-
your nose!"
She flew at the powder-puff and
delicately touched up the offending
feature. "Of course. It's an afflic
tion," she murmured, "but It's yours,
my dear, and you've got to make
the best of it. remaps no iur
your good too. When you're In
clined to get a bit above yourself,
always remember your nose. It will
keep you in your place.
"You're going among the real
people now, my girl, and you've got
to show them that little Jacqueline
can be as good as any of them.
If you don't I shall be ashamed of
you for ever, and I shall take no
further Interest in VOU.
"You ought to be able to carry It
I off. You've aot a few things In
your favor If you haven't got loots.
You've got money, ana mats a an
start. You know how to buy your
frocks, how to put them on, ana
how to walk in them when you've
got them on which is what every
girl doesn't know. Keswick Dell
tauElit vou that. lat ana mi as ne
is; so give him his due. That will
carry you a long way, but not all
the wav. You want a little educa
tion not too mucn; and a lot oi
intelligence. The point is have you
got enough? The rest you will have
to pick up as you go along."
