and the separation that followed she
has been kidnapped many times. Each

from the Russian car compelling the
father to return the child to its
mother.
The little countess is of so merry

not complain over the home life she
has known so far and really seems
to have enjoyed it. Her mother, how
ever, lives forever in the fear that the
father may be successful in kidnapping
her again.
