KIDNEY PAINS AND RHEUMATISM GONE Farmer Is Able to Work Again, After Years of Illness. Trying to work a farm, while crippled and in constant pain for sevsral years, was the lard task faced Dy Matt Reiland, Route 4, Stockton, 111. He tells of his recovery, In the following letter: "I suffered from kidney trouble and rheumatism for several years. My back ached so I could hardly bend. My head ached, and the pains in my limbs were very severe. I was anemic, my blood was poor, and I was so weak and dizzy that my farm work was almost impossible. But today, life looks entirely different. My rheumatism is all gone and there are no kinks or pains in my back. My kidney trouble has disappeared, and my sleep is not disturbed. I am eating hearty meals and feel fine in every way. It feels wonderful to have good, rich blood coursing through my veins. I trace all this change to the day I started taking Viuna. My wife and son are both taking it now, with wonderful results. Viuna has surely been a Godsend to our family.” ▼lnna lets promptly bn sluggish (towels, lasy liver and weak kidneys.

Jerry faUs in love with Vera, also known as Vee-Vee, and hit lovo persists even after he learns she consents to the transformation only because the man the falls in love with. SCHUYLER EMYTHE. ignores her. . Vera spends her vacation at Lake Minnetonka because Smythe is there He and other guest* mistake her for VIVIAN CRANDALL, ez-prlneess. who after a Paris divorce is In hiding. The Crandalls, learning of their supposed daughter's whereabouts, send detectives to the Minnetonka. They arrive late one night. Vera and Smythe flee In a stolen oar. Smythe confesses his love and Insists they be married at once. Vera tells him the truth about herself. He Is furious, proving himself a fortune-hunter. They are intercepted by two masked men. Vera is kidnaped ana taken in an airplane to a shack in the mountains where Vivian's ex-husband awaits them. The kidnapers horrify the prince and Vera by the announcement that the prince’s fee Is Insufficient and that they will hold Vera for a ransom from the Crandalls. In New York Jerry Is crazed by news, paper reports of what has happened at Minnetonka.. Hls stenographer stuns him with the information she saw Vera that morning. Jerry gets a phone call and going to a given address flnds the real Vivian Crandall whom the stenographer mistook for Vera. She tells Jerry about the shack In which her former husband was strangely Interested. Meantime at the shack Vera solicits secretly the aid of HAPPY, on* of the kidnapers. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XL rzTIREAKFAST that Friday R morning—the second day I after Vera Cameron’s abduction by Prince Ivan—was a strained, unpleasant affair. Vee-Vee had slept very little. She was ./retchedly tired and l.er head ached dully from lack of sufficient ventilation. Spiritually and mentally she was at the lowest possible ebb, for she knew that today the more ruthless kidnaper, “Satan,” the instigator of the ransom enterprise, would return, possibly victorious, to take her back to civilization, the Crandalls and certain exposure. The prince, his fat, round little face mottled with sleeplessness and dull anger because he had been thwarted at every turn, refused to eat the breakfast Vee-Vee had cooked over the glowing coals in the fireplace. He had abandoned ail pretense of treating her as a princess and the woman he wanted to win to a reconciliation and remarriage. His. popping blue eyes followed every movement she made, mocked her, promised, wordlessly, that he would his revenge upon her. “Happy” was almost as depressed and nervous as his prisoners. He made no secret of the fact that he was expecting his partner in crime at any moment and that he was frightened as to the outcome of the venture which he had opposed from the first. Twice while the sorry farce of breakfast was being played out “Happy” stamped to the door, unbolted and stood look! % out toward the hills. “The more I think of it the less I like this business,” he muttered to Vee-Vee, after his second unsuccessful search of the heavens. “Maybe Satan has come to the same conclusion.” Vee-Vee suggested wearily. >“I hope so. Don’t you think you’d beter clear out while you have a chance, Happy? “You’ve been a good friend to me, and I don’t want you to have to pay the penalty for Satan’s greed.” Vee-Vee could only guess at the mental torture which the thwarted prince was experiencing. He was, as the kidnapers had pointed out to him, as guilty as they in abducting the supposed princess and heiress. If the kidnapers were caught, Satan and Happy would certainly have no compunction about involving the prince as their accomplice, throwing the blame upon him as the instigator of the plot. If, on the other hand, they were successful, they would probably lock him alone in the cabin, to give themselves time to get safely away, after they had returned the supposed heiress to her parents. They would consider it no part of their duty to arrange a safe conduct for the prince back to civilization. In this isolated cabin in the hills the prince might very easily starve to death before a picnic party or a

passing inhabitant of the hill country could rescue him. Vee-Vee was moved almost to pity for the scheming little ex-nobleman as she reviewed the hopeless aspects of his problem. If she had been the real heiress, his former wife, he might have had some faint hope that she would have pity on him, secretly arrange his rescue from the cabin after she herself had been safely returned to the bosom of her family. But Ivan was well aware that the girl for whom ransom was even now being demanded was a nobody, that the mistake as to her identity would be discovered as soon as the Crandalls laid eyes on her. No, he could hope for nothing from the girl he had brought to such a pass. Vee-Vee was washing dishes and the prince was playing a sulky game of solitaire when “Happy” made his third reconnoiter from th? door of the cabity He stood there for many minutes, a hand shading hls eyes, which were upturned to search the heavens. He was evidently expecting “Satan” to arrive by airplane. The prince, glancing up from hls cards, saw the preoccupation of the kidnaper and rose stealthily from his stool. He advanced on tiptoe to the fireplace, wrested from Vee-Vee’s hands the frying pan * she was washing, and, still on tiptoe, advanced as noiselessly as a cat toward the kidnaper, whose back was turned to the room. Wild thoughts flitted through the girl’s brain. If the prince should succeed in knocking out the kidnaper, the two of them —the prince and she—would be free. If he failed, if some slight noise or movement warned the kidnaper in time, the prince might very well die before her eyes. And the chances were, of course, a hundred to one that he would fail, for “Happy” had served a long apprenticeship in crime; he would not be easily disposed of by an amateur crook like the prince. If, on the other hand, he did succeed in stunning the kidnaper and disarming him, she would have lost her one friend, strange as that friendship was. “Do you see anything, Happy?” she called out in a casual voice. At her first word the prince stepped dead in hls tracks, concealing the tell-tale frying pan behind his back, and the kidnaper turned his head to answer her: "Nothing yet.” Fifteen minutes later, the kidnaper, still slouching in the open doorway, flung up the hand which nursed the pistol and waved it wildly over his head. “There he is!!!! He’s going to land In the next field!” Vee-Vee and the prince both ran to she doorway. But if they had had any thought of trying to escapt, it was swallowed up in the terrible drama of the next few minutes. For as Vee-Vee stared over the kidnaper’s shoulder, the plane, which had been circling under per;ect control, suddenly dipped and careened wildly, plunging toward the earth ait a sickening rate of speed. “My God” “Happy” cried out hoarsely- “Something’s gone wrong. And he’s going to land on that hill —in the tree tops—” Before he had finished uttering his prophecy it had been fulfilled. The plane plunged straight for the hill, turning over and over as it whirled downward. Vee-Vee clapped a hand to her eyes to shut out the inevitable horror Os the catastrophe, but she could not help hearing the crash, the splintering of wood. While she was still trembling shielding her eyes there came a terrific explosion, and she knew that “Satan” at least would never trouble her again.' During the next minute she scarcely knew what happened, for she was too violently nauseated by the thing that happened on the placid, treacherous bosom of the hill. She heard sobbing curses uttered incoherently by the surviving kidnaper.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

She heard the prince shouting and arguing; she was dimly conscious of a struggle between the two men; heardy, faintly, the crack of a pistol shot. Then she knew nothing else, for her knees buckled under her, her head struck the corner of a stool drawn up to the wall near the door, and she hftd tainted. When she regained consciousness she v?as lying on the lower bunk in the front room of the shack, and Prince Ivan’s arms were about her, his kisses frenzied and wet on her neck and cheeks. Her hand, feeling as heavy as lead, came up slowly, instinctively, and pushed with all its power against the fat, dimpled cheek that was pressing against her throat- “ Stop!” she moaned, struggling to rise, but the prince’s shoulders were pressing against her chest, his hands had seized hers, were gripping them crushingly. . As her brain cleared, a dreadful realization of what had happened came to her sharply. “Happy,” who had befriended her, protected her, was gone, of course. “Satan” was dead, hls plane a twisted mass of burned timber and steel. And she was alone with the prince— That realization galvanized her slender body, gave her an almost superhuman strength. Somehow, while the prince’s breath came panting against her cheek, she managed to free her right hand. A moment later she had drawn from the pocket of her tweed skirt the can opener with which she had had the foresight to arm herself the night before. With all her strength she Jabbed the sharp point of the instrument Into the prince’s left shoulder, which was still pressed crushingly into her chest. He sprang up with a howl of rage and pain, his face livid, his hand clapped to his injured shoulder. Vee-Vee took instant advantage of her opportunity to slide from the bunk and to run toward the doorThe prince gave her scarcely a glance; he was busy tearing off hls coat to inspect his wound. In that short flight from the bunk to the door she prayed a wild prayer that the door would be open, that she could escape. Her fingers clawed at the rusty iron hasp of the door, and to her Incredible relief it swung open. “Happy,” in fleeing, had not forgotten his promise to her. At the risk of his own liberty he had decided not to lock her in the cabin with the prince, until he could make good his own escape. She was tumbling down the three rotten steps of the cabin when she heard the thud of the prince’s feet as he plunged across the floor after her. Reason halted her feet. She reached up, seized the door by its dangling padlock hasp, and pulled it Jhut, just as the prince, from within the cabin, hurled himself against it. Her teeth were chattering with fear but her fingers were as strong as steel as she lifted the padlock over the hasp and snapped the jaws into place. The prince beat upon the door, called wild, Incoherent promises and threats to her, but she did not heed themShe was fleeing down the faintly marked path, her feet winged with the joy of freedom, her brain too dazed to formulate any plans, even for the first stages of her flight, when a lusty shout came ringing and echoing across the little meadow in which the cabin lay: “Vee-Vee! Wait! It’s Jerry, Vera! Stop!” (To Be ontlnued) In the next chapter Vee-Vee eoraen face to face with the woman she hat been Impersonating.
