After they tell their respective stories, Vivian surprises Vera with the question: "Would you like to be the Princess Vivian for a little while longer, Vee- Vee--for my sake?" NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLII Vee-Vee stared at Vivian Cran- dall for one wide-eyed moment, then, with a little cry, she turned to Jerry Macklyn and laid 'her head on his breast. "Does she mean that I won't be disgraced, exposed--that you won't lave your career wrecked through my folly?" she asked. "My career? Have you been worrying your darling head about me?" "More than about myself," she in- gisted vehemently. 'You tried to and ignored it. .I was planning to deny anything you might say about having anything at all to do with my transformation from an ugly duckling into a copy of Vivian Cran- dall, I couldn't bear for you to suffer from my foolishness--Ilose your job at Peach Bloom, become the laughing stock of the advertis- ing world--" "My, my, hoy: ragic that would be!" Jerry's li..h boomed out. "But it was sweet of you to- think of me, honey-girl, Maybe you'll find that none of us will become laugh- ing stocks--though it does seem cruel to cheat the public of its amusement." "What did you mean, Miss Cran- dall?" Vee-Vee raised her head and asked humbly, "I'll do anything I can for you--anything! Though 1 don't see how you could need me." "Ag I sald before, you haven't been the only impersonator," Vi- vian Crandall smiled. "I've been wtealing your stuff, as they say on Broadway, without knowing it, just as you impersonated mp uncon- sciously. If you're not too dead with fatigue and shock, I'll tell you the story. It's rather necessary that you should know something of the truth about me before we have our pleasant little interview with my wicked little prince." "Please tell me," Vee-Vee begged. "As I said," Vivian Crandall be- gan, "I had had good cause to lose my faith in men and love. And then six months ago that faith was miraculously restored. I had run away from Prince Ivan, from the chateau that my money maintained on the outskirts of Paris, I knew that a divorce would cause a world- wide scandal, and I had been sur- teited with newspaper publicity My disappearance was gearcely no- ticed by my husband, for his atten- {ion was engaged most pleasantly elsewhere and I had not made my alsence congpicuous by cutting off | his rather Yess allowance, "I had always wanted to earn my own living, on to have ithe soul- satisfying experfence of trying to do so. I went. to London, very much incognito, and enrolled in a gecvetarial school to learn stenog- raphy. I limited myself to the most meager allowance. 1 had no plan, really, beyond the blessed present. 7+ was enough to me then to know that I was living as real girls live. that no one who looked at me saw the glitter of gold surrounding me like a halo. I had not dared hope for {love, but--I found it." Her voice dropped so that it was little more than a whisper. "He lived in the same funny, drafty, cold little old house in which I had lodgings," Vivian Cran- dall went on. "Our acquaintance started as acquaintances do in such houses--I borrowed a card of matches from him to light my gas. And then, because he looked so for- lorn and hungry, I asked him to share my boiled eggs, tea and toast. 1 found that he was a writer, and that he was making his living-- such as it was--by writing on space rates for one of the big London dailies. In the evenings he was working on a novel into which he was putting his very heart and soul, one of those sublime things of truth and beauty and stark realism that publishers are afraid of, be- cause they have no 'popular ap- peal.' He showed me his book, of course. He had been simply stary- ing for some one to talk to about it, and I helped him by re-typing, on the second-hand machine I had bought for practice work, the chap- ters he had finished. Of course I fell in love with him that first eve- ning, and he--he says it happened to him then. too," she confessed, as shyly as a girl "He used to feel sorry for me, heeanse I had so little money and ate so little," Vivian went on, her voice low and tender. "I suspected that he frequently went without lunch himself so that he eould con- tribute more lavishly to our fenny little dinners, cooked on the one gas burner in my rooms. We used to be dreadfully afraid that the landlady would smell cooking and raise a row, but I suppose most of the other poor devils in that house did the same thing and she winked PRINCESS Y dnne .Qustin: .| that she was. Oh, those were hap- py days!" she cried suddenly. "It's THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER |, 1927 ------ glorious to be poor and in love and to struggle together! But of course it couldn't last forever, for when he asked me to marry him, I had to tell him that I was married to someone else---a prince!" How bitter her voice was, Vee- Vee thought pityingly, The prin- ~ess' eyes flashed a look of intense hatred at the cabin where Prince Ivan was being held a prisoner. "I had to tell him that I was an imposter, that I had won his love under false pretenses," Vivian went on in a quiet voice, but her hand crushed Vee-Vee's. "You can imag- ine the sceme that followed, since you have had a rather bitter ex- perience yourself with unmasking," she added to Vee-Vee. Ut was her only comment so far on Vee-Vee's disillusioning affair with Schuyler Smythe. Jerry commented feelingly. "Oh, you will!" Vivian emiled brilliantly upon him. "You and Vee-Vee are gaing to meet him this very day, that is, if you will con- sent to help me, dear," she added to the girl beside her. "I'll do anything I can," Vee-Vee "I confess that I had been guilty of an unworthy doubt as to how he would receive my news that I was a multimillionaire. Remember that I had never before met anyone who loved me for myself alone. But his reaction was all that my pride could have hoped, although it came near to breaking my heart. I told him that I was going to divorce the prince and that I would marry him as soon as that formality had been attended to. He refused, repudiat- ed me as if he hated me." Her breath came in a sharp gasp, as if she were living again the shame and grief and remorse of that scene. "I'd like to meet that chap," assured her. "But--4I don't under- stand--"' : "Wait. He repudiated me, as I've told you. Refused to see me again. I went back to Paris and immediately started divorce pro- ceedings before the Seine Tribunal. The whole world knows now that 1 was successful and that I am no longer the Princess Vivian Polaska. No woman ever relinquished a title more gladly, As soon as tlie di- vorce was granted I hastened back to London--and found that he had given up his lodgings. The land- lady told me he'd gone to New York and I took the next boat. I found him living in a furnished room in an apartment in the Bronx and fag the second time I disappeared." ~ ""So you were in New York all the time--in the Bronx," Vee-Vee mar- veled. "Exactly," Vivian smiled. 'Any em ---- ieee _ie= parents were very angry with me for having divorced the prince and caused a scandal and I simply walked out of their Park Avenue house, having all my clothes, jewels and everything else of any value. 1 found a furnished apartment in the Bronx, in thé same building where 'he has a room, though he had no idea that I had discovered - his whereabouts. Before 1 revealed myself to him I found myself a job as a stenographer, ueing the name of Virginia Craig. I suppose it is instinctive to retain one's initials when seeking an alias," she smiled. "Oh!" Enlightenment dawned in Vee-Vee's wide, green eyes, then she laughed suddenly, deliciously. "Did you wear braids and spectacles and severe tailor-made suits?" "The braids and spectacles, yes, but not tailor-made suits." Vivian laughed. "Ready-made. cheap lit- tle suits, which were all I could afford on my salary of twenty-five dollars a week. 1 let Paul---his name is Paul Allison." she ex- plained---*"discover me, quite by ac- cident apparently, He wanted to run away again, but 1 convinced him that I would follow him to the ends of the earth if he did. putting my wretched millions to some good use, at least." "I imagine," Vee-Vee smiled ¥that it did not take a great deal of con- vincing. He must adore you." "There you are wrong," Vivian retorted. "I haven't really con- vinced him yet.
