It NOW CO ON WT HTH THE STORY CHAPTER XLVII Vee-Vee had been ecstatically in- haling the warm fragrance of thou- sands of sun-caressed roses, the pride of Rufus Worrell Crandall's heart. They were to have tea in the garden shortly--she and her "parents, Mr. and Mrs. Crandall had not bat appeared. "Mr. Schityler Smythe calling, Miss Crandall," Soames before her deferentially. "I told him that Miss Crandall was not receiving today, but he insisted" that I bring this card to you." Vee-Vee sprang up, a picture of star- She had open- ed her lips to send the intruder a cut- ting dismissal, when the ti Mg him- self came sauntering ws "There you are, Vee-Vee!" his voice, which she had once thought so musi- cal and had found so moving, called out with impudent familiarity. "Thank you, Soames," Vee-Vee dis- missed the butler with a curt nod, then turned her blazing green eyes upon Schuyler Smythe, who was bowing be- fore her. "I believe the butler told you that I was not receiving today, Mr. Smythe. He was quite right." The blood mounted in a dark tide over the theatrically handsome face of the man before her. His black eyes narrowed and focussed in a long, stea- dy gaze upon her green eyes, sparkl- ing with anger. "You are hard, Vee-Vee, and cruel --vindictively cruel," he said slowly. "My name is Miss Crandall," Vee- Vee retorted coldly, rising to make his dismissal unmistakable. "Now, will you excuse me, please 7" She was turning when Schuyler Smythe sprang toward her and laid his hands upon heP shoulders, his fingers digging into her flesh. "I'm not going to be sent away like this, Vee-Vee! You loved me at Min- netonka--" "But this is Manhasset Bay," Vee- Vee said cuttingly.

DALI ¥ TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1927 overwhelming dejection; and he spoke softly, humbly: "I know I have deserved this, Vivian, but I can explain, if you will give me] a chance. And, by. heaven, you love me, You can't deny it! If a kiss like the one you gave me does not mean love--" Vee-Vee was again turning away, with a hard little laugh, when Soames rea ared. : rs. Cartwright Miss Crandall." "Have her come out here, Soames. Mrs, Cartwright is invited to tea. And Mr. Smythe is leaving, Soames. Mr. Smythe will not call again," she added significantly. After Schuyler had gone, Vee-Vee sank down in a swinging chair, for her knees were trembling so that she could scarcely stand. "Dear Vee-Vee! What a stunning picture you make lying there!" Vee-Vee had not realized how much she loved her frivolous, light-hearted aunt until Flora Cartwright's arms were about her and she discovered that Flora's slightly plump shoulder made a heavenly place to weep upon. "You aren't by any chance weeping over that handsome cad that I passed in the hall, are you, darling?" Flora demanded. "Why, my dear, I've just been dying to see you ever since his name was coupled with yours in the papers, so that I could tell you, that he is the Schuyler I knew once--" "You knew him?" "Don't you remember my saying that 1 had known a Schuyler once and that if T ever laid eyes on him again that he'd be sorry? 1 was engaged to him the summer I was at Newport with the Seymour Donaldsons. He 'thought I had piles 'of money--poor Ralph, my third husband, you know, had left me a decent little jump of insurance--but when I told him the truth, for some reason which I can't remember right now, he cut and ran like a frightened rabbit. I never had a line from him, and I'd been simply mad about him! But you know how it is! He fooled you, too, and I've never pretended to have one- tenth the brains that you have." "And did you make him sorry when you saw him just now?" Flora adjusted the brim of her wide leghorn hat and twitched at the full skirt of her pretty flowered taffeta af- ternoon dress. "To tell you the truth, darling, I was the tiniest bit sorry for him. You had so evidently reduced him to a pulp. Poor Schuyler! How bitter he must feel to think that he had forty mil- lion dollars within his grasp and that he let it slip through his fingers! But tell me everything, darling. I'm simply thrilled to death to be here and to see you again," she added, as an after- thought. Vee-Vee snlied as she made a place for her aunt beside her on the swing- ing chair. "No, I'm mutch more inter- ested in what has been happening to you, How is young Peter Darrow? Still devoted? Still proposing ?" "My dear, I'm through with men, positively through, finished, fed-up!" Flora assured her niece vehemently, as she snapped open her vanity case to regard her make-up critically and to repair any damages that her emotion- al greeting had wrought. "I tell you, Vee-Vee, I shall be driven to marry- ing Jack Preston all over again! He's waiting patiently at the McAlpin right now for my telephone call" "But if you are through with men?" Vee-Vee laughed. "But that's why I shall marry him!" Flora assured her with immense grav- ity. "Jack isn't a man, he's a hus- band. One knows where one is with Jack. He is certainly the most faith- ful ex-husband I ever saw. Now if Jerry Macklyn had had the good judg- ment to prefer an experienced woman --a blond, at that--to a foolish virgin who runs off chasing another man and gets herself kidnaped--" "I gather that Jerry has been rather difficult ?" Vee-Vee laughed. "When are you going to marry him? Or is this taste of caviar life going to turn your head?" Flora demanded, in lieu of an answer. "I rather think," Vee-Vee said soft- ly, "that I shall wait till he asks me again." "Then you'll marry him tomorrow and lose this fairy-tale job of yours, for he, will ask you tonight. He's com- in course?" Flora retorted. Fy there was really no danger of Vee-Vee's losing her "fairy-tale job," the next day, or any day during the long weeks that followed, for Jerry facklyn did not once take advantage f her invitation, seconded by the is calling, Crandalls, to visit her at the Manhas- | lips set Bay estate. He wrote her fairly frequently, and it always seemed that she was opening mail to which she had no right, when she slit the envel- opes bearing the name, "Miss Vivian Crandall." His first letter explained that his reception, as Vivian Crandall's sole male caller, would arouse a storm of gossip and rumor, a storm which might break over .thgir heads when 'Vee-Vee's "job" was finished. Of course she had to accept his judg- ment, as sound, but she reflected re- sentfully that he might have worded his refusal a little more regretfully, have begun and ended his letters a lit- tle more warmly. As it was, she trea- sured every anparently careless word of affection the hasty scrawls con- tained, and paled miserably over his frequent references to both Rosemary Fitch and Vivian Crandall. "He probably fell in love with Vivian because she looks like me, and then "fell out of love with me because I'm not as wonderful as she is," Vee-Vee told herself in a fit of extreme depres- sion. "But if I'h had her advantages I might have been more like her. She is wonderful," she added honestly, but her fairness gave her little happiness in the realization that she had lost the man she should have loved all along and whom she now loved far more deeply and genuinely than she had ever loved Schuyler Smythe. When she consoled herself with the reflection that Vivian Crandall was safely out of his reach, because all her love was given to "Paul Allison, she would remember, with startlingly severe pangs in her lonely heart, that | his letters contained quite as many re- ferences to Rosemary as to Vivian Crandall. Tt seemed that if he did not dine with Vivian Crandall and Paul | ing. Allison that he took Rosemary Fitch! Class 64--Pencil drawing of a cat, Ist. INT: YOUR OWN SOAP DISINFECTING to Coney Island or to a Long Island roadhouse for a shore dinner. During those long weeks she had no direct word from Vivian Crandall, and her retirement was so complete that the outside world had no oppor- tunity to discover the deception that was being practiced upon it. It was not an easy time for any of the three of them, for the Crandalls--mother and father--were obviously suffering the keenest anxiety over the mysterious behavior of their daughter. Ye Yee had told them that her "jo as last only two months, and t t the | her from her agreement to imperson- ate her. As the time drew near for her release from her amazing contract, Vee-Vee found, oddly enough, that she was almost sorfy, for life stretched rather empty 'and purposeless before her. It was true that she would have ten thousand dollars, hence leisure in which to look about her and find just the work which would offer her the most in salary and opportunity. But her brain, lulled by luxury and the effort- less ease of her life on the Crandall | estate, seemed curiously ambitionless. It was hard to picture herself as a private secretary again, taking a pro- prietary interest in a business which she could never really own, sinking all her newly discovered femininity into a career. If she had had some specific talent--if only she had not lost Jerry-- Vivian's telegram, signed "Virginia," came on Friday in the middle of Sep- tember, a day or two before she was expecting it. It said merely, "Come immediatley. Tell no one." What did it mean? Had Vivian failed to convince Paul Allison that she was the wife for him? Or was every- thing settled and was this Vera Cam- eron's last: day as Vivian Crandall, ex- princess and heiress to forty dollars ? (To Be Continued) The litt'e penny princess finds her real romance at last in the concluding chapter.
