"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 dif- ferent than what I had planned. Dg oT HE 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 marry . 'that night. Believing he will love 'her for herself alone, Vera tells substantiating her erry's letter.

They whisk her away in an airplane. When they land she is surprised to find the men have brought her bag, some accomplice in the tel. They take her to a shack nearby where PRINCE IVAN PO- ex-husband, pulls her shawl she is wearing closely about her face to keep the prince from in. y 4 1 4 'The men accept the prince's fee for kidnaping, then tell them they both will be held for a ransom from the Crandalls, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIII In that instant of time while Prince Ivan forcibly kept her from intercept- ing the kidnapers as they left the shack, Vee-Vee had time to think of the probable consequences that would have followed her revelation of her real identity. Her instinct had heen to ery out that she was not the woman they believed her to he, that they would he 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 ahducted a nobody instead of an heiress, they would be so infuriated with her for having cheated them that they would not hesitate to kill er, b She dragged herself on her bruised fect and sank down upon one of the low, roughly carpentered stools that served the cabin as chairs. She realized then that the corner 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 that he bad not heard her voice. She propped her elbows upon her knees anu puried her covered face in her you Tt ber 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 re- member? This is the little hut where we found shelter in the storm when we were motoring together shortly after our marriage--before you ha 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 1 would kidnap you and bring you here until you had learned to love me again. You laugh- ed and said I would not have the cour- age. But I did have the courage, Vivian, when you made me utterly des- olate 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, know- ing that it was useless to try te put, off the evil moment any longer. Ang after all, what did it matter? The prince pulled her wnresisting 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?" the prince asked wondering- She Was Unable to Sit Up For Very Long Mrs, Bennett relieved with Dodd's Kidney Pills "I could not sit up a half-day at a time," writes Mrs, E, Bennett, who lives at 2134 Ger- rard St, East, Toronto, "I started taking Dodd's Kidney Pills and after I had used a few boxes I felt much better.

"You are Changed You look younger, more beautiful spite of your faugue. But your eyes are strange, you 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 color draining out of his puffed little cheeks. The upturned, waxed tips of his mous- tache quivered comically as he tried to speak. "I am not Vivian Crandall. TI am surprised that you did not detect your! mistake instantly," Vee-Vee went on in a flat, tired voice. "Who are you?" the prince gasped ly, his icy blue eyes almost popping in "I am Vera Cameron. - T have never posed as Vivian Crandall. It is all a mistake, a mistake which I have done my best to correct," Vee-Vee told him angrily, straining away from him. "You can tell the kidnappers 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 icy-blue, Jor ing eyes, "No," he whispered, fear- ully. ~ "They'd kill us both if thev found they'd been tricked. Tell me," he commarfded suddenly, "have you money? You are richly dressed. Vou! were staying at a fashionable hotel. You are rich, is it not so?" "No," Vee-Vee answered wearily. "I am a working girl, a private sec-' retary. 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 drag- ged into this hideous tangle--" "A pretty pretender, trading on a striking likeness to an heiress. A man- hunt, T suppose?" the prince suggested sarcastically. Vee-Vee refused to answer his ques- tion. "What are you going to do?" she asked shrugging wearily, If only she could sleep-- i "The only thing for us to do is 10] keep those traitors believing that you | are the heiress," the prince said brisk- ly. Vee-Vee was almost forced to ad- mire 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 io 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 prin- cess, and I assure you that I will be a very gallant prince." | As they talked the sound of heavy blows upon the door told them that! the kidnappers were affixing the pad- | lock they had brought with them. Now, from the rear of the house, the sounds of hammering came more faintly, as the ahductors 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 second 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 Prin- | cess Polaski. She divorced you, and I am sure my gallant kidnappers 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 break- fast? 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 brought some marmalade?" Her voice was coolly in- solent. "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 be- come reconciled with. You are really a shockingly bad actor, Prince Ivan." The prince was squatting before the fireplace, broiling bacon on the end of | a stick and Vee-Vee was calmly un- packing her well-stocked bag which the | kidnappers 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 o pr 0 as' he pocketed his revolver. "Just as snug as two bugs in a rug, ai ain't you? Better frizzle a whole package of that bacon while you're about it, prince. Me and Satan's as hungry as a couple of wolves."

While the prince had sulkily obeyed the kid- napper's orders to cook their breakfast for them, Vee-Vee had been permitted to retire into the little back room and change her clothes. The two kidnappers has washed their faces at the old-fashioned pump out- side the door, and had sleeked their hair with pocket combs, so that they looked more like hired men break- fasting with the master and mistress | of the farm than like villians guarding their prisoners.

Grain generally turned out good, al- though not so high a yield as straw indicated. After attending a few fairs and doing the second haying, everybody is set for the next big offensive, silo filling and root hary- est. Potatoes are a very indifferent crop, some good, fair, and almost a failure. Your correspondent turned out thirty-five tubers from one hill, half of which were marketable. There is much clover being saved for seed with prospects of a large yield. i Scholars are on the jump prepar- ing exhibits for the School Fair, to be held at Hampton Park on Friday the 23rd. i "Thornham Minstrel" sold to Dun- | can Campbell of Moffat, won senior and grand championship at Ottawa, senior and reserve grand at Toronto, senior and grand champion at Lon- don, making him well worth the thousand J.
