NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLV A slight, quickly stepping figure as- cended the steps of a house on Park Avenue, A young man, who seemed to be patrolling the vicinity of the Cran- dall home, wheeled at the sound of her brisk footsteps, gave her a long searching look and then, as she fumb- led for her latchkey, broke into a run. "I say! You aren't Vivian Crandall, are you?" he panted, snatching his straw hat from his head. "I'm Belden, of The Morning--" "Aren't 1?" Vee-Vee smiled demure- ly, with an upward lift of her enchant- ingly arched eyebrow, 'then slipped in- side the door and closed it gently but! firmly in the astonished face of the re- porter. She opened her handbag to remove the letter with which Vivian Crandall had armed her. After all, they could do nothing worse than refuse to ac- cept Vivian's amazing ultimatum, and if they did that, Vivian herself would stand behind her-- She was still reviewing the situation in a panic when a tall, grayhaired old man, very dignified and stately in his butler's clothes, came marching ma- jestically down the softly lighted hall. Something of Vivian Crandall's cour- age and poise came then to the girl who so closely resembled her. Vee- Vee stepped forward almost nonchal- antly and greeted the butler with a curt nod, "Good evening, Soames," -- Vivian had attended to that detail, too--"Are mv mother and father in?" The butler's eves flew wide in an ex- pression of _ surprise. His month worked soundlessly for a moment, then he bowed "Good. evening, Miss Crandall. I believe they are still in ATISVA Le] Packet of WILSON'S FLY-PADS WILL KILL MORE FLIES THAN $8%° WORTH OF ANY STICKY FLYCATCHER _ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WED IPRIIICESS dnne Qustin the library, Miss Crandall." "Perhaps you had better announce that I am calling." Vee-Vee smiled, her voice as cool and careless as she knew Vivian's would have been under the circumstances. She followed close upon the heels of the butler to a door far down the impressive hall, but she waited out- side until Soames, behind the closed door, had made bis breathtaking an- noun: t. She clenched her I tightly over the precious letter to strengthen her faltering courage. "Will you come into the library, Miss Crandall?" Soames asked, his face in- scrutable again, as he slipped noise- lessly through the door. "I'm glad they did not rush to meet me with welcoming arms extended," Vee-Vee reflected as she forced her- self to advance toward certain un- pleasantness. Her first glance gaye her a fairly clear picture of the Couple. Vivian's mother was a tall, handsome, almost slender woman of 50, with copper-col- ored hair only a little duller in color than her beautiful daughter's. 'Viv- ian's father was more formidable--a tall, gaunt old eagle, at least 15 years his wifg's senior. His hair was a bushy mane of white, his eyebrows, in con- trast, as black as heavy smudges of ink across his high forehead. Vee-Vee instantly feared Rufus Worrell Crandall and felt drawn to- ward the woman who had contributed so generously to Vivian's beauty and patrician bearing. But she had little time to analyze her emotions, for they were advancing toward her, Mr, Cran- dall frowning prodigiously. Mrs. Cran- dall with extended hands and a bright smile of welcome in her hazel eyes and on her fine mouth. "Wait," Vee-Vee spoke breathlessly. "I don't want to deceive you for a mo- ment, I am not Vivian!" Perhaps it would be kinder to Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Worrell Crandall, who are, after all, such very important people and so uncompromisingly op- posed to publicity of any sort, to draw a kindly curtain over the scene which followed Vera Cameron's sensational announcement, Fifteen minutes later something re- motely resembling calm had been re- stored to. the rather overpowering beautiful library which an upstart no- body had had the temerity to invade Clean to handle.

Vee-Vee had been per- mitted to tell her own version of the affair at the Minnetonka, a version Vee-Vee's unconscious impersona- After much deliberation on Vivian's part it had been decided to include the prince and his petty vil- lainy in the story to be told to her As Vivian contended wisely, her father and mother would shudder at the possibility that the true story of that indelicate episode should reach the eyes of an avid public. But the passing of the 15 minutes found them at a cold and furious dead- lock, for all the apparent calm. Mr. Crandall had had the bad judgment to insult Vee-Vee by offering her a sub- stantial bribe for exact information as to their daughter's whereabouts and her reasons for her apparently insane con- duct. Vee-Vee had countered by walk- ing toward the door in dignified sil+ ence, her whole slender body express- ing her determination to have nothing more to do with Mr. and Mrs, Rufus Worrell Crandall. Mr. Crandall had been forced to beg her, however haughtily he did it, to return to the conference as to just what was to be done about Vivian Crandall. Then Soames, the butler, a servant whom the real Vivian had seen but once and who therefore had no. sus- picion that an imposter had appeared to take her place, appeared in the lib- rary door with the apologetic an- nouncement that reporters -- many, many reporters--were cluttering up the sacred Crandall steps, and that-- for were represented in that clamorous group in increasingly formidable num- bers.. "They say that Miss Crandall was seen to arrive, sir, and I really cannot disperse them," Soames concluded apologetically but firmly. "Tell them all that Miss Crandall] has not returned," Rufus Crandall said sternly, but Mrs. Crandall laid a hand on his arm and looked at him plead- ingly. "Please, Rufus, don't you think we may as well have them in? Vivian has not been in New York for nearly two years," she added significantly. "Oh, very well, Soames, show the gentlemen of the press and the police officers into the library." When Soames had closed the lib- rary door gently upon his apologetic presence,- the eagle-faced old man spoke to Vee-Vee in a clipped, stern voice : "You know my daughter well, you say? You know her mannerisms, how she would conduct herself in such a crisis as confronts you?" "I do," Vee-Vee answered simply. And during the next 10 minutes Wich were all that Rufus Worrell randall would allow her to give to the reporters, she acquitted herself in the Vivian Crandall manner so expert- ly that her pseudo parents had occa- sion to exchange more than a few startled but satisfied glances. "My daughter," Rufus Crandall ex- plained crisply, "is safely at home again, as you can see. She has suf- fered no serious ill effects from an un+ pleasant adventure, but she is too tired to give an interview--and will be rest- ing for many days to come. I have absolutely nothing to say in regard to the mature of that adventure, nor has she. I am entirely satisfied -with the manner in which the affair has been concluded. No ransom was paid. I have no intention of prosecuting or of giving any information that might' lead to the arrest and cenviction of her abductors. I wish the matter to be dropped by the police and by the press." ; And it was upon that stone wall that ID. a score of seasoned reporters butted their frantic heads.

"It is not true," Vee-Vee answered calmly and firmly, her lovely head held high. "It is not true then that you and Mr. Smythe were eloping to be mar- ried when you were kidnapped?" an- other reporter insisted, "Certainly it is not true," Vee-Vee answered, just as calmly and proudly. "Will you and Mrs. Crandall pose for a news photograph?" another re- porter had the temerity to suggest, Rufus Crandall was about to refuse explosively when Mrs, Crandall step- ped forward, placing her arm affec- tionately - about her "daughter's" shoulders. "Just one pose, gentlemen," she said, with a charming, gracious smile. "My daughter is really very tired and does not look herself at all." Cameras were brought hastily for- ward and leveled on the touching fa- mily group.

If the whole incredible plot was exposed, it would not be her fault.
