BRITISH AND SOVIET
SPLIT IS HELD SURE.
Official Announcement of
Rupture Expected in
London Tomorrow.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1927.
LONDON, May 23.-The last scrup-
les of Foreign Minister Chamberlain
were overcome at today's cabinet
meeting and the exuberant dfe-hards
are now broadcasting the news that
Tuesday afternoon the foreign secre-
tary will announce officially in the
House of Commons that the Soviet
government, having in spite of re.
peated warnings, broken clauses of
the trade agreement, diplomatic and
commercial relations have been brok-
en- off.
The announcement will crown the
strenuous efforts made by leading con-
servatives ever since they came into
Office to get rid of the bolsheviks in
this country.
Soviet Never Popular.
The Soviet government never was
popular with the conservatives, but
real efforts to send home the numer-
Gus official representatives of Moscow
were begun during the general strike
last year. when large sums were sent
from Russia to help the strikers.
The conservatives blame the Soviet
for having prolonged the coal strike
by at least 10 weeks, for without
financial support the miners would
have been compelled to yield much
earlier.
The news of the break, when an
nounced officially. is bound to cause
q sensation in England. Business
men, especially industrialists, who do
not look upon the situation from a
sentimental or political viewpoint,
feel that the cabinet decision will not
help England much.
Trade Growth Cited.
Trade with the Soviets, while it has
not reached the volume expected by
the Socialists, has brought this coun-
try between S250.000, 900 and $500 900.
600 a year and the prospect of in
creasing the volume In coming years
Is most favorable.
London business men with whom
the correspondent talked were wor-
ried that orders will be Cancelled by
the Soviets and be placed either with
Germany or the United States, and
they described the governments move
as sentimental folly" The cabinet,
however, is willing to lose an unde-
sirable customer for the sake of the
safety of the empire.

it across her face, like a fringed
white mask or Turkish woman's
veil. Only her eyes, her eyebrows
that had been plucked to match
those of Vivian Crandall, and her
broad white forehead, with a few
tendrils of curling, copper colored
hair that had escaped the cap she
had fashioned with her shawl, were
revealed when she stepped into the
room where Prince Ivan Polaski
awaited her.
'Here she is, Prince, and right
as rain. A little tired, guess, but
she hasn't had a bad time OF 1T at
ALL" the leader of the kidnapers
said, taking the girls arm and
thrusting her toward the man who
had arranged her abduction.
She raised her heavy-lidded eyes
and stared at him almost apatheti-
cally. She was too tired to feel
fear yet. And she had almost ex-
hausted her capacity for emotion
during the twenty-four hours that
lay behind her.
She saw rather small man, very
trim and dapper in business suit
of light gray homespun. His round
head was covered with thin, blond
hair, faded white over the temples.
His skin was fair and rudy, his
cheeks round and plump, and
pierced by deep dinples that made
him look like mature baby. His
moist, fair red mouth was set neat
1y beneath a reddish-b blond mus
tache, whose waxed ends pointed
rather impudently toward his small
nose. But it was his eyes that
routed her lethargy, stirred her
sleeping fears. They we're a pale,
icy blue, as unlike the blue sap
phires that twinkled under Jerry
Macklyn's red thatch as pair of
eyes could possibly be. And they
bulged.
Vee-Vee shuddered and closed her
own eyes, swaying toward the safer
arms Of the moon-faced kidnaper.
IT see you're glad to see me again,
VIVIAN" the prince spoke hooking
lily. Vee-Vee had feared that he
might speak to her in Russian, but
evidently his wife had not taken the
trouble to learn her husbands Ian
guage or, If she had learned it, to
use 1t when speaking to him.
"The little lady's tired out, prince.
Can't you give us all shot of
coffee?" the moon-faced kidnaper
suggested, his nose wrinkllng as he
shifted the aroma arising from the
steaming pot on the hearth.
"But certainly" The prince
flashed his incongruous dimples at
them and sprang with hospitable
alacrity toward the fireplace.
AS he carried the coffee pot to the
rough pine table and began to fill
four cups with the boiling fluid,
Vee-Vee looked about her with some
curiosity Why had Prince Ivan
chosen this miserable shack as a
rendezvous with his divorced wife?
1t was hardly fit for habitation, even
by people who had never known the
ordinary comforts of city dwelling,

painted, scabby with age and worm
holes and dirt. There were two
small windows high in the walls on
either side of the front door, but
their panes had been broken out and
the apertures boarded over. The
uneven floor looked as if it had
never been scrubbed. The only
furniture in the small room was the
long pine-board table, listing drunk
emily on its uneven legs; three stools
made by an amateur carpenter, and
two hunks, one built above the other,
along a side wall. To the right of
the fireplace was half-open door,
leading into tn esecond of the two
rooms.
Coffee, my lover The Prince
bowed before her in the exaggerat-
ed continental fashion. Sorry there
is no cream. I'll get some from a
farmer this morning. Will you have
some bread and butter? Or shall I
broil you some bacon over the Goals?
I have a fair stock of country store
groceries here" and he pointed to-
ward crude cupboard at the right
Of the fireplace.
She shook her head in refusal,
but her hands seized eagerly upon
the coffee. She wanted to drink it
before he discovered his mistake, or
before she was forced to speak and
reveal herself. Her whole being
cried out for TIE solace of coffee.
The Prince bowed again, with
deep humility, and flashed his dim

CHAPTER xxXII

RI AVN was struggling with the
III darkness sof night when Vera
Cameron and her abductors
stumbled down the last hillside that
separated them from their destina-
ton.
The girl was almost fainting with
WEAKNESS. Her evening dress was
torn and stained with grass and
mud. She had slipped while cross
ing a mountain brook and had
walked the rest of the way on sod
den, broken things that had started
that memorable evening as exquis-
tie silver slippers. Briars had
snatched at the deep fringe of her
white Spanish shawl, corner of
which still served as a cap for her
YEARLY bobbing head. All power OF
thought had deserted hem in her alb
solute fatigue. She no longer dread
ed the meeting with Prince Ivan.
Her only concern was to keep her
feet moving, so that she could the
sooner sink down in warm place
and rest.
There's the shack, miss. Just a
few steps MORE" the moon-faced
man encouraged her, his hand sup
porting her elbow and urging her
on. "Well be Swigging hot coffee
In another minute, or therel be
one less prince cluttering up these
United States"
The evil-faced leader of the two
men strobe little in advance. He
had not bothered to talk much. The
mile had proved to be more than
three miles, and he had cursed his
partner once or twice for having led
him astray. He seemed to be brood
ing darkly, his brows knitted with
some evil scheme which required
careful planning. ~
In the murky gray light of APP
preaching dawn Vee-Vee caught her
first glimpse of the shack where
the prince awaited her-or rather
the woman he believed her to be.
1t was a small, rough affair Of not
more than two rooms, built a long
time ago implanted pine. A rock
chimney, set in the center of the
side wall nearest to the approaching
party, was sending up curling
column Of blush wood smoke, a
sight which caused the MOON faced
man to whoop aloud with Joy.
1.-THE prince is there, all right
Thought he mighta got cold feet
and beat it. And he must be up,
too. for that looks like a fire that's
just got going good" he shouted to
his partner, who was striding
rapidly toward the shack.
The door was opened cautiously
an inch or so. The leader of the
kidnapers thrust his foot into the
aperture and spoke in low voice,
then turned and beckoned to Wee
Wee and her guard

her briar-torn shawl and stretched

pies at her in a smile that was
meant to be conciliating. Then he
turned again to the men, who were
tearing hunks of bread from long,
twisted loaf on the table.
"Well, boys, you did good job,
and I'm very grateful to you. No
accidents to the plane, I suppose?
No trouble of any kind? His voice
was ingratiating and he rubbed his
hands together with condescending
friendliness. 1t was obvious that
he was anxious to dismiss the men
and be alone with the woman he
believed to be his divorced wife.
mo trouble at ALL" the moon
faced man grinned.
Here's the other five hundred

done" The prince reached into his
pocket and drew out tight roll of
bills. "And-er-just remember to
keep quiet about this little adven-
ture of ours, boys. You under
stand, Of course, that this lady is
my wife"
"Wife, hell" The dark, evil-faced
man rose from the stool on which
he had zeen crouching andy lum-
beredtoward the prince, drawing a
pistol from pocket as he did so

he pointed contemptuously toward

face suddenly as hard as his pard-

pistol.

eyeswide with fright.
"She may have been the Prirl-
cess Vivian once, but she amt no
wife of yours any more" the evi-
faced man Snarled. "She's the miss
ing Crandall heiress. that's who she
is. Think we don't read the pa
pers or nothing? Think we'd pull a

pistol advanced steadily so that IL

from his head.

Vee-Vee started forward on a
staggering run, but the prince
sprang to her side and seized her
arm.
