His big body stretched luxurious- ly as his smile, carried over from the dream, changed to a rueful grin at his own conceit and the ab- surdity of his hopes. #Spnap out of it, you big lum- mox!" he advised himself vigorous- ly, but he watched the ripple of muscle slong his powerful, freckled arms with lazy satisfaction, If he could just take a crack at that so- ciety idler that she was breaking her heart over-- "Hey, Nikko!" he shouted in a great bellow of a voice that brought a short slim Japanese on the run. "Yiss, honorable boss!" the Jap hissed, smiling and ducking his lit- RADIO SERVIC AND REPAIR WORK tle round black head. "Nourishment, Nikko! Suste- nance! Food! In other words, a board groaning under its weight of raspberries, cream bacon and eggs, hat rolls, coffee and what have you! And make it snappy, you grinning little cartoon!" " "Yiss, honorable boss, Nikka grinned more broadly than ever. "'Honorable boss hungry?" "You tell 'em, Nikko! I'm too weak!" Jerry begged, tumbling out of bed and wrapping his big body in a dressing gown. "Say, Nikko, would you eay that your honorable boss is a handsome man?" The Jap bobbed and grinned, "Honorable boss very grand man, Very handsome. Honorable boss what-you-call-'em sheik!" "You're a cock-eyed Mar, Nikko! Now, get out of here and rassle me some grub!" When Jerry returned from his cold shower and shave and sat down to breakfast in his East Eighty-first street apartment, there wae a tall glass of orange juice em- bedded in crushed ice awaiting him. and from the electric range came the comforting odors of coffee apd fry- ing bacon. But the breakfast was destined never to be eaten, for be- side his plate lay a copy of a morn- ing paper. He had just dunk his orange juice, in one long, thirsty draught, when his eyes caught sight of a name which had come to have a ter- rible significance to him, He snatch- ed up the paper and read the head- line: CRANDALL HEIRESS KIDNAP- ED, "I'll be--"' he began, then his eyes took In the smaller headline be- neath the big letters: VIVIAN CRANDALL SPIRITED AWAY FROM MINNETONKA BY MASKED MEN. "The Minnetonka!" 'he groaned sloud. "Then the little fool's done it--posed as Vivian Crandall after all my warning! Oh, Lord!" But he had little time for groan- ing. His eyes raced down the heav- {ly-leaded, two column "lead" of the sensational front-page story: CONTINUED ON GALLEY TWO .. "Vivian Crandall, until less than a month ago the Princess Vivian, wife of Prince Ivan Polaski of Rus- sia and Paris, and for whom a na- tion-wide search has heen made since her mysterious disappearance three weeks ago after she had land- ed in New York and quarreled with her parents, had heen a guest since Sunday of the exclusive Minne- tonka Hotel, on Lake Minnetonka, New York, it was revealed by long distance and telegraph dispatches early this morning. She was regis- tered there as Miss Vera Victoria Cameron, but was recognized by a score of guests and by the manage- ment as the missing Crandall heir- ess, despite her efforts to maintain an incognito--" "Poor kid!" Jerry groaned. 'She tried to convince them, but it was' p't any mse. I ought to have tied her up before letting her run into a mess like this!" "Miss Crandall, as she prefers to be called since her Paris divorce from the prince, left the hotel short- ly before midnight last night in the company of another guest, Schuyler Smythe, of New York.

"So she landed him all right--as Vivian Crandall! Bah! So that's the girl you've been eating your heart out for, Jekry Macklyn, you double-dyed fool!" His hands shook so that he could, hardly hold the paper as he tried to 80 on with his reading: "--to be married, when their car was held up on the state highway by two masked men, who forced iss Crandall to get into the sedan car they were driving, while, at the point of pistols, thy took the keys of Smythe's car, leaving him strand- ed and helpless while they drove away with their victim, When Smythe was brought back to the hotel by Dr, A, J, Blessington, a Phvalcian who was hurrying to the innetonka to anewer an emergen- ey call, he told the story of his interrupted elopement and of the kidnapping of the heiress, Detec¢- tvies Durgan and Barr, who had been awaiting Miss Crandall's re- turn to the hotel to identify her and to urge her to return to her parents, who have been disracted over her disappearance, took charge at once, sending out a general alarm to the county constabulary in all directions and notifying the police of New York City as well as the parents of the abducted girl, "Mr. and Mrs, Rufus Worrell Crandall refused Interviews with reporters, but the house was ahlage with lights, testifying to the fact that the Crandalls had learned the news. "Almost as Incredible, and prob- ably as shocking to Mr. and Mrs. Crandall, multi-millionaire society leaders, is the story that Schuyler Smythe tells of his interrupted el- opement with the heiress, Smythe asserts that he has known and lov- ed the beautiful Vivian, heiress to 40 million dollars, since he met her at Palm Beach fivie years ago, and that their apparently sudden ro- mance is not sudden at all, He re- fused to comment, over long dis- tance, on his own social and finan- cial standing, but it has been learn- ed that he Is a private secretary to Arthur Bainbridge, retired capital- ist, of No.--East Fifty-Fourth street, Maine, No answer to this news- and now summering at his camp in paper's wire to Balbridge, asking for information on the allegedly sue- cessful suitor of one of America's richest heiresses has heen received. "The Minnetonka Hotel was the scene last night of the wildest con- fusion, as detectives took charge, using it as headnuarters for a fran- tic police search for the missing girl. At a late hour this morning nothing whatever had been learned of the possible fate nf the eirl.

The discovery of the theft of the car from the hotel garage had been reported to Mrs. Fosdick shortly be- fore midnight." Jerry Macklyn read no more. Action was necessary to him in any crisis. He pushed back his chair 8n violently that it crashed to the floor. As he dressed, his mind milled frantically over the various aspects of the "jam" into which Vee-Vee had gotten herself, despite his warn- ng. "Kidpaped! Oh, Lord!" he groan- ed "Two masked men who may be torturing the poor kid this very minute. Rut I mustn't think about that. or I'll get a mental] hot box and blow up," he admonished him- self. *"Funpy it didn't occur to any- body she might have been telling the truth when she sald she was Vera Victoria Cameron. The re- porters have swallowed the story whole. Detectives, too. What a rumpus this is going to stir up! Crandall millions turned loose to find a girl that they've never seen in their lives! What a sell, what a sell!" But he did not smile at the ludicruousness of the situation. The girl he loved was in the hands of kidnapers They would undoubt- edly hold her for ramsom. "Ransom. That's the ticket. What's the matter with your think machine. you big stiff?" he berat- ed him image in the mirror. "Can't you think of anything to do for the poor little idiot you're in love with?
