c0mmendati0n made by the late Govern
or Trench 10 his last annual report that
federal financial assistance must continue
until the Islands have returned to a sound

The Governor recommends:

ported from the Island Of Saint CrolE,
already reduced from eight dollars to six
dollars per ton. be not further reduced by
Congress until the Municipality Of Saint
Cro.x shall cause to be enacted suitable

least $40, eco 90 TO cover the loss of reve-

suit of The reduction of the sugar taZ
from eight dollars to six dollars per ton.
~ Tdat the Federal Appropriation
for the fiscal year 1929 and subsequent
appropriations for the malntenanceo Of the
Governments Of the Virgin Islands, be
made continuing for two-year periods.
The major source of revenue in the Is
land cf Saint CroIX is the export tax on
sugar. Enough all the sugar IS usually
manufactured before June 3Oth, the time

them that the kidnapers were affix-

the house, the sounds of hammer

back door of the shack.
Vee-Vee turned to the table and
lifted the coffee pot to pour her
self second cup. Most of the first
had been spilled when she had
dropped her cup in fright. She
drank half of the revivifying fluid
before she answered the prince.
"Very well, Prince Ivan, "rshe said
with a voice that was mocking as
his, "but must ask you to remem-
ber that Vivian Crandall is no long,

Tin that instant of time while
Prince Ivan forcibly kept her
~ from intercepting the kid
napers as they left the shack, Wee
Wee had time to think of the prob
able consequences that would have
followed her revelation of her real
identity. Her instinct had been to
cry out that she was not the woman
they believed her to be, that they
would be able to collect no ransom
from the Crandall family for her
safe return.
But as the princes fingers gripped
her arm the terrible thought came
crashing through her tired brain
that if she revealed herself to them
as Vera Victoria Cameron, con-
vinced them that they had abducted
a nobody instead ofan heiress, they
would be so infuriated with her for
having cheated them that they
would not hesitate to kill her.
She dragged herself on her
bruised, feet ard sank down upon
one OF the low, roughly carpentered
stools that served the cabin as
chairs. She realized then that the
corner of the Spanish shawl was
still protecting shield for her face.
that the prince had as yet seen
little more than her eyes, and th@s
ne had not heard her voice. She
propped her elbows upon her knees
and buried her covered face in her
hands.
