BEGIN HERE TODAY JERRY MACKLYN, advertising manager of the Peach Blossom Cosmetics Cos. transforms his plain secretary, VERA CAMERON, Into a beauty by using the company cosmetics, proposing to publish her photographs In advertlselng booklets. The beauty specialist In refashioning Vera copies a picture Jerry finds In his desk, an uncaptioned colored picture of a lovely woman. Jerry falls In love with Vera, also called Vee-Vee, and his love survives even after he learns she consents to the transformation only because she is in love with a man who Ignores her. Vera goes to Lake Minnetonka for her vacation because this man SCHUYLER SMYTHE, is there. Smythe and other guests mistake her for VIVIAN CRANDALL. ex-prlncess, who after a Paris divorce Is in hiding. Vera tries to convince everyone of nef true Identity, but when she learns Schuyler is in love with the girl he thinks she Is, she abandons her efforts. Hotel guests returning to iho cltw apparently notify the Crandalls of their supposed daughter’s presence at Minnetonka and detectives are sent to find her. They come at night and Vera and Schuyler steal a car and flee. Schuyler who still believes she is Vivian, tells her they must marrf , that night. Believing he will love her for herself alone, Vera tells him the truth, substantiating her identity ..with Jerry’s letter. He is furious, revealing himself definitely as as the fortune-hunter he has been called by the hotel guests. Suddenly. Schuyler wonders if this Is a scheme to ditch him by the heiress and he tries to retrieve and Insists they be married at once. . .. , . Thcv are stopped by two masked men who take Vera and leave Schuyler, with the car They whisk her away in an airplane. When they land she is surErised to find the men have brought her ag, packed by some accomplice in the hotel. Thev take her to a shack nearby where PRINCE IVAN POLASKI, Vivian’s ex-husband, meets them. Vera pulls her shawl she Is wearing closely about her face to keep the prince from instantly recognizing his mistake. The men accept the prince’s fee for kidnaping. then tell them they both will be hold for a ransom from the Crandalls. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIII. mN that Instant of time while Prince Ivan forcibly kept her from intercepting the kidnapers as they left the shack, VeeVee had time to think of the probable consequences that would have followed her revelation of her real identity. Her instinct had been to cry out that she was not the woman they believed her to be, that they would be able to collect no ransom from the Crandall family for her safe return. But as the prince’s fingers gripped her arm the terrible thought came crashing through her tired brain that if she revealed herself to them as Vera Victoria Cameron, convinced them that they had abducted a nobody instead of an heiress, they would be so infuriated with her for having cheated them that they would not hesitate to kill her. She dragged herself on her bruised feet and sank down upon ne of the low, roughly carpentered stools that served tly; cabin as chairs. She realized then that the comer of the Spanish shawl was still a protecting shield for her face, that the prince had as yet seen little more than her eyes, and th> he had not heard her voice. She propped her elbows upon her knees and buried her covered face in her hands. > "Tired, my darling?" Prince Ivan asked solicitously. "Won't you drink more coffee? We really must talk things over, but I suppose you are very tired. It is not like you to be silent. I have been expecting you to fly at my throat any minute. And I really should not blame you,” he added, with a conciliating laugh. "This is so different thart what I had planned. Do you remember this cabin, my dear? Sentiment drew me back here, I give ’you my word.” Vee-Vee did not answer In words, but she shook her head, still bowed in her hands. “What, my love? You don’t remember? This is the little hut where we found shelter in the storm when we were motoring together shortly after our marriage—before you had learned to, hate me, Vivian,” he added softly. “I told you then that it was an ideal spot for an abduction,, that if you ever

deserted me I would kidnap you and bring you here until you had learned to love me again. You laughed and said I would not have the courage. But I did have the courage, Vivian, when you made me uttprly desolate by divorcing me. You were cruel, darling. Didn't you know that I wouldn’t give you up? That all the women in the world meant nothing to me if I lost you?” She went suddenly limp then, knowing'that it was useless to try to put off the evil moment any longer. And after all, what did it matter? The Prince pulled her unresisting hands from her face, then drew the shielding fold of white , silk from it. She raised her head and stared into his eyes, trying to whip her courage to the point of meeting the situation. “What—have you done—to yourself, Vivian?” thor Prince asked wonderingly, £is icy blue eyes almost popping from his head. "You are changed! You look younger, more beautiful, in spite of your fatigue. But your eyes are strange, you look at me as if you did not know me—” "I don’t know you, Prince Ivan,” Vee-Vee said, slowly and distinctly. “I never saw you before in my life.” The man sank back upon his haunches and stared at her, the coior draining out of his puffed little cheeks. The upturned, waxed lips of his mustache quivered comically as he tried to speak. "I am not Vivian Crandall. I am surprised that-you did not detect yuor mistake instantly,’ ’Vee-Vee went on in a flat, tired voice. “Who are you?” the Prince gasped at last. “I am Vera Cameron. I hale never posed as Vivian Crandall. It is all a mistake, a mistake which I have done my best to correct,” VeeVee told him angrily, straining away from him. “You can tell the kidnapers that I am a fraud, if you wish. Perhaps they will let me go. And you, too,” she added, as an afterthought. The prince backed away from her, staring at her with his icyblue, popping eyes. “No,” ha whispered, fearfull. “They’d kill us both if they found they’d been tricked. Tell me,” he commanded suddenly, “have you money? You are richly dressed. You were staying at a fashionable hotel. You arre.rich, is it not so?” “No,” Vee-Vee answered wearily. “I am a working girl, a private secretary. There is no one to pay a ransom for me—-no one.” Even as she said it the image of Jerry Macklyn flashed through her tired brain. But of course she couldn’t let him be dragged into his hideous tangle—“A pretty pretender, trading on a striking likeness to an heiress. A man-hunt, I supose?” the prince suggested sarcastically. Vee-Vee refused to answer his question. “What are you going to do?” she asked, shrugging wearily. If only she could sleep—- “ The only thing foj us to do Is to keep those traitors believing that you are the heiress,” the prince said briskly. Vee-Vee was almost forced to admire the swiftness with which he had realized the situation, so fraught with danger to

himself, and accepted it. “We shall have some chance for escape if you continue to play the part. But if they discover that they have been cheated of their ransom money they will undoubtedly shoot us, leave us here to rot in this abandoned cabin, and go their way in safety. No, my pretty imposter, there is no other way. You must play the part of the princess, and I assure you that I will be a very gallant prince.” As they talked the sound of heavy blows upon the floor told them that the kidnapers were affixing the padlock they had brought with them. Now, from the rear of the house, the sounds of hamnjerihg came more faintly, as the abductors fastened a padlock to the back door of the shack. Vee-Vee turned to the table and lifted the coffee pot to pour herself a secoqd cup. Most of the first had been spilled when she had dropped her cup in fright. She drank half of the revivifying fluid before she answered the prince. “Very well, Prince Ivan,” she said with a voice that was mocking as his, “but I must ask you to remember that Vivian Crandall is no longer the Princess Polaski. She divorced you, and I am sure my gallant kidnapers will be glad to help you and me to observe the conventions.” “You mean—?” the prince shrugged, but his blue eyes flashed with anger. “I mean that you are to treat me as your divorced wife, not as your wife,” Vee-Vee said very distinctly. “Now. will you please cook me some breakfast? I believe you said that you had a stock of country store groceries on hand. Some toast, please, and some bacon broiled over those coals. They look as if they are just right for broiling. I hope you bought some marmalade?” Her voice was coolly insolent, k “You’ll cook your own breakfast and mine, too,” the prince began angrily. “You forget that I am a prince—” I am afraid you are not conversant with recent Russian history,’’ Vee-Vee said calmly. “You are not a prince. And you also forget that, so far as these men are concerned, I am your divorced wife, whom you want to become reconciled with. You are really a shockingly bad actor, Prince Ivan.” The prince was squatting before the firegjace, broiling bacon on the end of a stick, and Vee-Vee was calmly unpacking her well-stocked bag which the kidnapers had so thoughtfully stolen from her room in the Minnetonka Hotel, when the two abductors entered the front room of the shack. “Now, ain't this a pretty picture?” the man called “Happy” applauded, as he pocketed his revolver. “Just

Me and Span’s as hungry as a couple ofwolves.” “I’m off in a half-hour or so,” Satan told them, slouching over to the table and flopping down upon a stool. “Happy here will stay to guard you two love birds, while I go and ’tend, to business.” It was a queer breakfast party gathered around the rough pine table. While the prince h ad sulkily obeyed the kidnaper’s orders to cook their breakfast for them, VeeVee had been permitted to retire into the little back room and change her clothes. The two kidnapers had washed their faces at the old-fashioned pump outside the door, and had sleeked their hair with pocket combs, so that they looked more likp hired men breakfasting with the master and mistress of the farm than like villains guarding their prisoners. As they all ate hungrily Vee-Vee noted with amusement that “Happy,” the moon-faced abductor, could not keep his eyes off her. To her own amazement she found herself smil* ing and coquetting with all of them, even with the prince, who treated her with exaggerated deference, although, since she had entered the room, fresh and lovely in her change 'ef clothes, there had been a gleam in his icy-blue eyes which warned her that he would not be so docile when they were alone. A thrill of distaste and fear shuddered along her nerves when the prince’s fingers cldsed boldly over her hand when she reached for the pasteboard box of sugar. “I’m going to take a long nap. now,” she announced hurriedly as she rose from the table. “Happy. 11l trust you to see that I’m not disturbed—by anyone!” * (To Be Continued) Jerry Macklyn ready of the kidnaping and resolves to et Vee-Vee oat of th* mess he unwittingly tot her Into.
