r BEGIN HEBE TODAY VERA CAMERON, private secretary, Agrees to Jut JERRY MACKLYN, advertising manager for Peach Bloom Cosmetics, transform her into a beauty through the use of the companj cosmetics. She agrees only after she falls suddenly In love with a man who Ignores her. In transforming her, the beauty specialist uses as a model a picture Jerry finds In his desk. Vela wants to be beautiful so she can spend her vacation at Lake Minnetonka and meet the man She loves, SCHUYLER SMYTHE. At the summer hotel, Smythe and other guests mistake her for the ex-prlncess, Vivian Crandall, who, after a divorce In Paris, has disappeared and Is In hiding. Schuyler is devotedly attentive to Vera much to the Jealousy of NAN FOSDICK. to whom, It Is rumored, he 1b engaged for her money. Vera reads an account of Vivian's disappearance and the hunt that Is being instituted for her. Thurston, the hotel manager, comes to her room and asks her to notify her parents of her whereabouts. She again states her identity but is not believed. She Joins Schuyler for golf, determined to make the most of the next few hours. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIV r s the day wore on, Vee-Vee ■ A began to wonder almost hys- *• I terica’ly if Thurston, the manager of the Minnetonka, had enlisted the aid of all the hotel guests in keeping her from being •lone with Schuyler Smythe. For the two found themselves practically surrounded by the friends they had both made since their arrival at the hotel. t Their golf game became a foursome, without the bewildered couple’s knowing exactly how it had happened. There was no opportunity for more than a few words between them, as they played down the green, a fact which made Schuyler turn childishly sulky. They lunched together, but there Was necessarily t little privacy in the crowded hotel dining room. After lunch Schuyler suggested a drive in his car, but when he tried to start the motor he found that it was unaccountably dead. “It’s a plot,” he told Vee-Vee in

Had Severe Pains and Stomach Gas Every Meal Tortured Kim. Back Ached Always. Trouble vjuickly Ended. Readers who are afflicted with Stomach torture, back-ache, rheumatism or weak kidneys, will And good news In a letter written by Mr. Geo. Ride, 426 N. Hickory St., Kankakee, 111. He says: “For many years, I had serious trouble with my stomach and kidneys. I suffeted terribly with cramps, gas and biliousness after meals. I could hardly hold anything on my stomach, I was dizzy, weak, short of breath, and very 6allow. I T y kidneys were weak and disturb'd me at night. I had terrible ucadaches, severe pains in my back, m> Joints were stiff and I was sore all over. I tried about everything, but kept getting worse until I started using Viuna. It quickly brought relief, and now I am feeling fine. I’ve had no gas or bilious attacks since I started the second bottle. My back has stopped aching, my headaches have vanished, and those terrible dizzy spells are things of the past. My tongue and complexion have cleared up. kidneys are Just about normal again, and I am sleeping soundly, eating with a real appetite, and feeeling better every day. I owe it all to Viuna." Viuna sets promptly on sluggish bowels, lasy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body.

angry desperation. "I’ll wager that interfering ass, Thurston, had one of the chauffeurs put my car out of dommission. “ I suppose he thinks I’m going to try to adduct you, and that that will get him in Dutch with the high and mighty Crandalls. I wish he’d mind his own business.” Vee-Vee laughed with pretended gayety, but in her heart she feared that Schuyler was right. Thurston was not taking any chances on a mesalliance being contracted in his hotel. He valued the good will cf the “high and mighty Crandalls” too much for that. If he contrived that Vivian Crandall—as he thought Vee-Vee to be—should at last be delivered Intact and In good condition to her anxious parents, he would have them everlastingly in his gratitude, and the Hotel Minnetonka would benefit accordingly. Undoubtedly he had visions of Crandalls summering gratefully at the Minnetonka and bringing in their train the very cream of New York society. Schuyler hired one of the hotel rowboats and took Vee-Vee out upon the lake but immediately a dozen other boats followed them, circled about them, their occupants calling out gay quips, taunting Schuyler with laughing challenges for a race. “Oh, damn!” Schuyler said ii% deep disgust, as he whirled his boat toward the landing. “I’m going to see you alone if I have to come up to your room. “Though I suppose the house detective would follow me there and throw me out of the hotel. Thurston would love that!” he added, with a vicious stab of his oar into the smi/ing waters of the lake. “There’s still the evening left, a whole evening before anything is likely to happen,” Vee Vee consoled herself, as she and Schuyler walked toward the hotel after their comically chaperoned boat ride. “Vee-Vee,” Schuyler laid a hand on her arm and detained her as she was about to ascend the steps of the wide front porch, “if they should come for you—those damned detectives I mean, or your parents —promise me that you won’t go without letting me talk to you alone. It means life and death to me, feeVee! Promise!” For the first time she realized how harassed he must be, knowing as he must, that Vivian Crandali was being sought,by private detectives hired by her parents. He must be bitter with despair over the fact that the girl he had loved hopelessly for five years was about to be whisked away from him just when he had almost succeeded in winning her. “Don’t worry, dear,” she said in a low voice, addressing him with an endearment for the 'first time. "Thurston has promised me not to interfere, not to notify—the Crandalls. Believe me, dear, when I tell you that Mr. and Mrs. Crandall have absolutely no power over me.” She flushed with shame at the sorry way in which she saved herself from a lie even as she evaded the truth. But she saw, to her relief, that Schuyler Smythe was neither surprised nor shocked at

her peculiar manner of referring to the people whom he believed to be her parents. She was passing through the lobby on her way to the elevators when a strident, half-masculine, half- feminine voice, halted her. She knew the voice well, knew that it was Nan Fosdick’s rather terrible mother who was hailing her. “Oh, Lord, what next?” she groaned to herself, but the face which she turned to Mrs. Fosdick was a smilingly polite one. “Want to talk to you, young woman,” Mrs. Fosdick boomed. “Will you come up to my suite?” “Won’t you come to my room?” Vee-Vee smiled, with a malicious little emphasis on the last word. Mrs. Fosdick let pass no opportunity to impress her wealth upon anyone she came in contact with. Although they were the only two passengers In the ascending elevator Vee-Vee felt crowded. Mrs. Fosdick was so overwhelmingly big that she seemed to fill the car. She was like a caricature of her daughter. Nan was big, her mother was huge. Nan’s acquiline nose became a beak on the older woman’s face. Little pig-like black eyes were almost submerged between overhanging black brows and puffy ridges of flesh. As soon as they entered her room, Vee-Vee went to the phone and gave an order for iced tea, iced coffee, sandwiches and cakes, to be sent up Immediately. “She’ll be in a better humor if she is eating,” Vee-Vee told herself with a grin. “Now looka here, Vivian Crandall, I’ve come here to have a frank talk with you.” Mrs. Fosdick began ominously. “Oh, do let’s wait until the iced drinks arrive,” Vee-Vee begged with her most ingratiating smile. “I’m dreadfully warm, aren’t you? And a tiny bit hungry. “Rowing makes me ravenous. I’ve noticed that you take iced coffee, Mrs. Fosdick. Don’t you think the coffee is delicious here?” “Nothing to compare with the New Orleans coffee or the Vienna coffee,” Mrs. Fosdick contradicted her flatly, but she eased her bulk into the largest chair and relaxed a trifle. Vee-Vee kept her reminiscing about her European travels—or rather, about European food—until the waiter had arrived and departed. When Mrs. Fosdick had consumed three sandwiches and half o/ her tall glass of iced coffee, VeeVee permitted her, without further struggle, to open the subject which had brought her there. “Now, Vivian Crandall—” “My name is Vera Cameron, Mrs.' Fosdick,” Vee-Vee corrected her softly. “Well, whatever you want to call yourself—l suppose It’s none of my business—but I feel it my duty to tell you the plain truth about that young man you and my daughter Nan have been making such fools of yourselves over.” “Fools?” Vee-Vee repeated gently. “Don’t you think, Mrs. Fosdick, that that Is rather a strong word

But—oh, go one. I’m sure you have something to say to me which you consider important. Is it about Nan, Mrs. Fosdick?” "No, it’s not about Nan. It’s about that fortune-hunter that calls himself Schuyler Smythe. Schuyler Smythe!” she repeated scornfully. “I'll hand It to him that picked out a good name while he was about it,” she snorted. “I know Mr. Smythe’s original name,” Vee-Vee told her serenely. But beneath her arrogant calm her heart was pounding with sickening rapidity. What did this terrible person know against Schuyler Smythe? “Then I guess you know, too, that Mr. Shuler B. Smith,” Mrs. Fosdick swept on triumphantly, using the name of which Vee-Vee had caught a glimpse when Schuyler had dropped an envelope, “is just a penniless fortune-hunter that makess a profession of summer vacationing.” “Os course I know nothing of the sort,” Vee-Vee retorted. “But I fail to see why you Insist upon dis-

cussing Mr. Smythe's affairs with me.” “Because you’re being taken in by him, just as my poor Nan was,” Mrs. Fosdick panted. “I saw through him right away, but nothing could turn against him. I wired a detective agency in New York to get a line on him for me and their report arrived today. Do you want to see it?” “No,” Vee-Vee said, almost in a whisper. “Then you’re a bigger fool than I thought you were,” Mrs. Fosdick snapped. But I’m going to do my duty by you anyway. Your mother will thank- me,” she added rightteously. “Your fascinating gentleman is just a secretary. His fashionable East Fifty-Fourth street address, which he used to impress everyone with, is not his own address, but that of his employer, Mr. Arthur Bainbridge. "Bainbridge is in Maine at his camp and he gives this young scamp a two weeks’ vacat’on every summer, allowing him to use one of his cars.

Just a cheap fourflusher, a fortune-hunter—” “Mrs. Fosdick, I can’t allow you to go on!” Vee-Vee cried vehemently, jumping to her feet. “Have you finished your sandwiches?” she asked with rude significance. When Mrs. Fosdick had made a stutteringly furious exit 'speech Vee-Vee flung herself down upon the chaise lounge and burst into a fit of weeping. When the storm had spent itself she sat up. dabbing at her eyes with
