Jerry falls in love v/ith Vera, also called Vce-Vee, and his love persists even When he lear'.s she consents to the transformation only because the man she falls In love with. 6CHUYLER SMYTHE. Ignores her. Vera spends her vacation at Lake Mninetonka because Smythe Is tnere. Bmvthe and other guests mistake her for VIVIAN CRANDALL, ex-princess, who after a Paris divorce is In hiding. Vera emphatically proclaims her true Identity but Is not believed. . . . The Crandalls learn from hotel guests returning to the city of their supposed daughter’s whereabouts. Vera gets word while she and Smythe are on the pier late at night that she Is wanted at the hotel She and-Smythe flee In a stolen car. Smythe confesses tls love and says they must be married at once. Believing' he loves her for herself alone. Vera tells him the truth, substantiating her Identity with Jerry’s letter. Smythe Is furious, revealing himself as a fortunehunter. However, he retrieves when it occurs to him this girl may really be the princess, who Is trying to out-smart 6 'two masked men stop them and Vera Is taken with them in an alrphuic to a eheck In the mountains. PRINCE IVAN. Vivian’s ex-husband, awaits her there. Vera and the prince are horrified when the men Immediately announce they will hold them for a ransom from the Crandalls.

Jerry surmises it is VIVIAN CRANDALL herself who Is summoning him and he hurries ‘"now GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXVII I |OR an Instant after the door I C was opened to him, Jerry I * Macklyn felt an absurd conviction that he was gazing upon Vera Victoria Cameron as she had been before he had conceived his disastrous scheme of transforming her into a beauty. But it was for an instant only. For the woman who was searching his face unsmilingly was neither like the old Vera nor the new, and yet strangely reminiscent of both of them. Her hair, a dark, gleaming coppery red, was parted in the middle and brushed (smoothly toward the ears, where twin braids were coiled like small w heels and pinned close to the head. Her complexion was flawless in Its even pallor, unrelieved by rouge, but like the old Vee-Vee’s her eyes were disguised behind large, hornrimmed spectacles with ambertinted lenses. “How do you do, Miss Craig?’* he Ba : d. He was careful to leave the Initiative to her. The name on her bell was “Craig” and that was what he would call her until she chose to give hirn permission to address her by her real name. “Come in, Mr. Macklyn,” she directed him gravely. “I rent the place furnished,” she explained negligently, in her low. Impersonal, but musical voice. A

voice not unlike Vee-Vee’s, he decided, except for its faint flavor of blended Continental accents. “Mr. Macklyn, do you know why I sent for you?” she asked abruptly. “I believe I do,” ‘Jerry smiled at her. He could not feel ill at ease with her. She seemed too much like the girl he loved to be a ■sti anger to him. “You are Vivian Crandall, of course. I had been expecting word from you all day, ever since my secretary told me this morning that she had seen Miss Cameron in the subway. I knew of course that she had not seen Miss Cameron but you.” “Ah!” Vivian Crandall raised the enchanting eyebrows which Jerry had used as a model for; the new Vee-Vee's brows. “You are disarmingly frank, Mr. Macklyn. I suppose I may as well remove these horrid glasses? I am really not myself at all with them on,' and she lifted them from her nose and dropped them to the couch beside her with a little grimace of distaste. “So I am really like this mysterious double of mine, this girl who has been so unfortunate as to be kidnaped while she was playing the adventuress?” Vivian Crandall drawled. “She is not an adventuress, she has not posed as Vivian Crandall, and she is in danger of her life through no fault of her own.” Jerry' leaned forward and frowned. “I suppose it is an accident also that she hits a haircut exactly like the one I wore home from Paris, the one I have worn in all my recent photographs and in the portrait that was painted in IJaris this spring?” “No, it was not an accident,” Jerry answered honestly, his face flushing darkly. “If you’ll be patient with me, I can explain the whole situation in a few words—account for that booklet that Miss Fitch gave you on the subway this morning.” Vivian Crandall drew the booklet fi*om beneath a sofa cushion and sat regarding the photographs of her double with broodingly intent eyes while Jerry made his straightforward explanation, taking all the blame upon himself and absolving Vee-Vee so carefully that when he had finished his audience lifted her lovely head and smiled deeply Into his eyes. “You’re very much in love with her, aren’t you, Jerry Macklyn? Lucky girl!” “I am,” he answered honestly. “And I don’t mind telling you that I’d rather lock you in this apartment and keep you prisoner than to let you endanger her life by informing the police and the press that you are safe and that the kidnaped girl is an Importer.” “I don’t blame you,” she smiled,

and a faraway look came into her eyes. “1 know what it means to love like that. Do you think that if I had meant to go to the police I would have sent for you?* You have not asked me why I am here, or why my parents have been so foolish as to put detectives on my trail, dragging your poor little sweetheart into the net that they set for me.” “No,” Jerry shook his head. “And I won’t ask you. I have no right. I am sure that your reasons are good ones, or they would not be yours.” “You are a very gallant gentleman, Jerry Macklyn,” Vivian Crandall smiled at him. “You’ll remain hidden then, and let your parents pay ransom for the wrong girl, if the kidnapers demand ransom, as they undoubtedly will?” Jerry demanded. “More than that,” Vivian Crandall answered firmly, “I shall try to help you find her, and to protect her from the consequences of her only sin—that of looking like me. She really looks like me—a great deal like me, I mean?” she asked, a note of anxiety in her voice. “If your hair was cut like hers, like yours was when that portrait of you was made, you'd pass for twins,” Jerry assured her. “Excuse me a moment,” Vivian smiled, and left the room. He was wretched again with anxiety for the girl he adored and who was even then undergoing only God knew what tortures at the hands of beasts to whom the word mercy was unknown. Then he looked up at the sound of a light footstep and thought that he was gazing at the very girl for whom

his heart was constricted with agony. The coiled braids of copper-col-ored hair which had covered Vivian Crandall’s aristocratic ears were gone. Her short hair, brushed back from her broad, white brow, swirled across her small head in the fashion which had not long ago ;fkrtled Paris Into an ecstasy of admiration. “Judas Priest!” Jerry breathed. “I suppose that settles it,” Vivian Crandall smiled at him. “We will concede the resemblance without further argument. Those braids, saved from my first bob—and what a funny, long bob it was!—have been very useful in transforming the Princess Vivian into a demure little working girl. But I think the tinted spectacles have been eves more useful. Now, Jerry Macklyn, let’s get down to business. You want to rescue your lady fair in true knightly fashion, don’t you?” she teased him. “The knightlier the better,” Jerry grinned. “Even if she is engaged to that sleek-haired young society sheik. The papers say that they were eloping to be married when Vee-Vee was kidnaped,” he added dismally. “I wouldn’t take that too seriously,” Vivian Crandall comforted him, her voice a little crisp with scorn. “Remember that this Schuyler Smythe person, whoever he may be, thought he. was eloping with Vivian Crandall, not with Vera Cameron. If your Vee-Vee Is the girl you think she is, I’m pretty sure she would have told him the truth before they applied for a marriage license, and my experience with fortune-hunters convinces me that the dashing young man would have scuttled away like a frightened rabbit. But that Is not Important now. We can deal with Mr. Smythe later,” and she clicked her perfect little teeth viciously. “I suppose you noticed fin the newspapers acounts of my kidnaping that my former husband, x the

prince, Is also missing from his hotel and has not been seen since Tuesday. Did it occur to you to connect the#two disappearances?" Jerry clenched his big hands so tightly that tpe knuckles cracked, but he did not dare urge her to hurry. “I think I'could find the place,” she said, her mouth twisting with a grimace of remembered pain and distaste. , She paused again, her eyes brooding. “What made me remember the incident was that Ivan remarked then that it was an ideak place for an abduction. He laughed as he told me that if I ever left him he’d kidnap me and hold me there until I came to my senses.” "Could you tell* me how to get there?" Jerry demanded, his breath coming in quick gasps. “No, but I might be able to show you the'-way,” Vivian Crandall told him simply. “Have you a car? We can start before dawn in the morning. It is too late now; we could not find the hu,t in the dark, unfamiliar as I am "with the roads.” “And leave her with that beast all night?** Jerry groaned, beating his hands togethet in a frenzy of impatience. “But I suppose that is the best we can do.
