But I don’t believe I asked you to drop your jaw You might look a little glad to see me, since you made such elaborate plans to insure my visit.” Jerry chuckled and stood aside to let her pass. He stood with VeeVee, Just inside the door, while "Vivian Crandall took her former husband in hand. “What? No welcome, Ivan?” Her voice was cool, contemptuous, amused. The prince had dropped the stool, obediently, and stood staring at her, his pale blue eyes almost popping from his heal, his cheeks dyed crimson. “Well, what are you going to do? How did you get here?” he asked at last. "My dear Ivan. I am a very charitable and long-suffering woman, as you have good cause to know,” Vivian Crandall answered him coolly. "I have come to get you out of a most embarrassing situation—for my own sake, not for yours. "I dislike intensely being laughed at, and If the world knew that my

divorced husband had succeeded in abducting me and holding me prisoner for two days in a shockingly primitive little cabin like this, I am afraid l should never be able to live it down, “I don’t seem to remember you as enjoying Jokes at your expense, either," she mused, her eyes narrowing as she studied him. “What the devil does this mean, Vivian?” Ivan demanded. “Ivan!” Vivian chided him mockingly. Her tone changed abruptly, became hard and brisk. “How did 3jou get here? By car?’ ’ * “Yes,” he answered surlily. “Unless those damned kidnapers stole It, it’s parked behind the cabin.” “Will you see if the car is still there, Mr. Macklyn?” Vivian asked. While Jerry was away on his errand, Vee-Vee slipped into the back room and began to pack her suitcase, after a word as to her intentions to Vivian Crandall. She heard Jerry return, could distinguish his words as he told the ex-princess that the car had not been taken. "That is very good,” Vivian Crandall replied. “Now, Ivan, you are at liberty to return to New York as fast as that car can take you. I think, however, that you will find the climate does not agree with you and that you will be very glad to take the next boat to Paris.” “I haven’t any money,” the prince blurted out. “You never have any money," Vivian reminded him mockingly. “I should dislike to think of you as hungry, since you do so enjoy eating,* so if you will be a very discreet little prince I feel sure that you will find a fairly respectable sum of money waiting for you at my attorney’s in Paris. • “Will $25,000 tide you over until you can land another heiress?” The prince gasped like a drowning man who sees a lifeboat thrown to him; then cupidity gleamed in his popping blue eyes. “That’s a ridiculous sum for the story that I can tell to the New York press,” he began. “Story?" Vivian’s voice and face expressed intense surprise. “My dear Ivan, did I wrong you when I said you disliked to be laughed at? “Os course, If you insist on making yourself ridiculous, on telling how you kidnaped your divorced wife and tried unsuccessfully to compromise her into a remarriage with you, you can do so, of course. The yellow Journals might conceivably pay you five thousand dollars for the thriller.” The prince wilted under her scorn and her logic, but thdre was a stubborn gleam in his eyes as he demanded: “What kind of cock and bull story are you going to tell? You haven’t been here with me. Where have you been?” “Ivan, when I divorced you in Paris a fetv weeks ago, you lost all your rights to hold me accountable for any of my thoughts or actions,” Vivian Crandall reminded him serenely. “You also lost all claim upon my fortune. But—l don’t believe I shall miss twenty thousand dollars—” “You said twenty-five htousand!” “Did I?” she smiled. “I am afraid I was too generous. On second—or rather third thought—you will find fifteen thousand dollars waiting for you at my attorney’s in Paris, on condition that you leave immediately and say nothing to any one about what has happened in this cabin. “And every time you make an objection the sum will be five thousand less.” “All right,” the prince agreed so hastily that Jerry Macklyn burst into a roar of uncontrollable mirth. “Now, don’t let us keep you, Ivan,” Vivian said with sweet courtesy. “I am sure you are eager to be on your way—to Paris. My friends and I are going to have a very good lunch out of your cupboard. I shAll cook it myself.” Within fifteen minutes the roar of an automobile motor told the three in the cabin that the prince was indeed eager to be on his way —to Paris. “All I regret is,” Jerry Macklyn mourned, “that I didn’t have a chance to spank him.” When the early luncheon was finished, the two girls, who looked so strangely alike and yet so different, cleaned house quickly but scrupulously, and Jerry made a thorough job of extinguishing the fire in the fireplace. “We’ll leave these canned goods in the cupboard,” Vivian decided. “Some hungry wayfarer may find

them and have his faith in the Biblical ravens restored. “And now we’d better hurry. There’s no telling what Paul will do if he gets home from work this afternoon and finds me gone. He has been urging me to tell my parents wnere I am, to relieve them of suspense. “Os course, he knows that it wasn’t I who was kidnaped from the Minnetonka, and the quixotic darling may Jhink it’s up to him to go to the police or to my parents with the story.” Vee-Vee paused in her work of folding up sheets and turned a look of such utter fear and consternation upon Vivian that the heiress took pity upon her and reassured her: “I don’t have the least Idea, really, that he’ll meddle, Vee-Vee dear. “But I’m naturally anxious to get back to him as quickly as possible. He always has dinner with me in my apartment, and if he comes home and finds me away he will be worried, to say the least.” It was only 11 o’clock when they closed the door of the cabin and struck off across the meadow to where Jerry’s car awaited them in the little-used road. “I’d like to spend the rest of the day picnicking,” Vivian sighed regretfully when she had taken her place in the front seat of the car. “You sit here, too, Vee-Vee. If the police are really conducting the eagle-eyed search for me that the papers are giving them credit, they’ll never dream of looking for me in an innocent picnic party. “But to make sure, I’ll pin on my braids and get out my spectacles. Mr. Macklyn bought a pair for you, too, as well as a motoring veil. I think we shall be safe enough." When the two girls had put on their “disguises” they looked at each other and laughed like a couple of children playing make-believe. To complete the illusion, and because each of them had cause to be happy and immensely x Sieved of worry, the three sang popular songs as the car speeded down the highway toward New York. They made no effort to escape attention, invited it rather. Vivian seemed to take a childish, irresponsible delight in waving at passing motorists and at the occasional motorcycle policeman whom they passed. Jerry, for his part, took care not to exceed the speed Unlit, so that his own greeting of traffic policemen was joyously unconcerned. Most of their route to Hew York lay along the Hudson, on a road that was sometimes congested with traffic. But not once were they accosted. It was not quite 5 o’clock- when Jerry swung into the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, and headed the car toward the street where Vivian Crandall, heiress to forty million dollars, was living in a four-room

I’ve told him It makes me nervous to have him hanging around while I cook. Oh, by the way, can you lend me a dollar, Jerry? “Tomorrow’s pay day, and I’ve spent almost my last cent. Heav r ens! I hope I haven’t lost my Job by being absent today! I telephoned my boss I was sick,” she explained to Vee-Vee. “I’ll buy the grub,” Jerry grinned. “I’m hungry as a wolf and I don’t want any penny-pinching housewife trying to put me off with one little lamb chop and a few leaves of lettuce. “You two girls scoot In now and trust Jerry to provide the makings for a real meal. I know all the shops in this neighborhood, and I bet some of them will remember me, too. They’ve got good cause to," he chuckled reminiscently. “I hope,” said Vivian Crandall, as the two girls mounted the stairs to Vivian’s apartment, “that Jerry’s ‘real meal’ will prove a pacifying
