CHAPTER Xxx

- URdNG the following two
NI days Vera Victoria Cameron,
- whom every guest at the ho-
tel believed to be Vivian Crandall,
an ex-princess, was so busy being
'wooed" by Schuyler Smythe and
practically every other unattached
male at the big resort hotel that
she had little time to worry about
the consequences of her recklessness
in not advising Jerry by wire that
the situation which he had pre-
dicted in his letter had actually
come to pass.
Not once did she admit, in words,
that she was Vivian Crandall, but
she frequently shrugged her white
shoulders and quirked that fasc1-
mating right eyebrow of hers, when
inquisitors were busy trying to
worm an admission out of her, in
a. way that said more plainly than
words: ooh, have it your own way!
But-I'm not tellingP"
She was clever enough to know
that her amazing popularity was
not amazing at all; that these we'll
TODD, handsome eligible young va
4, cationers were not paying court to
Vee-Vee Cameron but to Vivian
Crandall's forty millions.
If the royal mantle OF Vivian
CrandaH had not been accidentally
flung about her shoulders, she would
have been merely a very beautiful
little nobody, a charming partner
for a summer Irritation
AS it was. however. she received
the deep homage which even these
comfortably rich young men pay
to forty millions and to a woman
who has worn a crown. ..,..>..
She wondered sometimes, but
only 1eetingly because they kept
her so busy, how they could accept
her so unquestioni11gly, how she
escaped being exposed q dozen
times a. day.
But the clippings which Jerry had
sent her gave her a partial explana-
ton of that fact. The Princess
Vivian had moved only in the most
exclusive circles of New York and
Newport society before her mar
rage. No princess of royal blood
had even been more carefully
guarded than the little dollar prin-
cess.
After her marriage she had scin-
tillated at foreign courts, to which
these moderately rich people who
patronized the Minnetonka Hotel
had no entree. Comparatively few
people in. America had had the
privilege Of intimacy with Vivian
Crandan or the Princess Vivian.
She overheard Mrs. -Bannister' ex-
planning the amazing fact of vi
Wan Crapda1ls choice Of the Min
netonka as retreat: 1.-THE poor
little thing has been under some
ones thumb all her life
''First her mother ruled her with
an iron hand, denying her the least
freedom to mingle with ordinary
people. Not that I think we are
ordinary, you understand Their
Prince Ivan, jealous and domineer-
ing as those foreign men are, kept
her from having any life of hel
own at all.
When she quarreled with hel
parents over her divorce-Ml

with desire for the pressure of his
mouth upon hers. She laughed;
without sense or intention, a low,
rich, shaken chuckle of mirth,
which purchased her release.
you're laughing at me! might
have known you wern't taking me
seriously. You, that could marry
any man in the world you want"
His voice was broken, came in
whistling gasps over his dry, parted
lips, but his arms had released her.
you're jealous, Schuyler" she
asked softly. She had to say some
thing, though her mind was whirl-
ing with chaotic thoughts. Why had
she not let him kiss her when she
wanted his kiss SO much?
Her reason was not reason at
all, but an instinct of decency that
could not be drowned in passion.
When he kissed her it would be
Vera Victoria Cameron that he
kissed, not-an unwilling impostor.
Am jealous? Oh, God! Jealous!
I'm eaten up with it, Vee-Veel
can't sleep, can't eat--when 1
think of you in that damned Rus
slams arms, nearly go crazy. But
when think Of you, hiding here to
save yourself from the man they
say was your lover in Paris"
"Hush!" she commanded him
sharply. There was no lover in
Paris. Tell me, Schuyler, would
you rather I had never been mar
ried, that I was-a grip" she added,
softly. Oh, if she could only tell him
the truth, so that he would believe
her, and yet not hate her for hav-
ing taken that other womans
place
II wouldn't have you changed
he said ardently, reaching toward
her again. eff it took all that is
past to make you the woman that
you are today, I am fool to be
jealous of that past. But I hate
him for having made you suffer
Oh, Vee-Vee, don't hold me off any
longer.
Let me love you, let me make
you happy. I'll make up to you for
all that you have suffered. I love
you! Can't you love me? I'm not
a conceited puppy, but would not
have dared hope Sunday, when you
came walking into my life again
if there hadn't been something in
your eyes that gave me permission
to hope-Vee-Veel Tell me-"
There is no knowing what she
might have done then, with his low
musical voice pulsing in her ears
and making her nerves vibrate with
joy, If they had not been inter-
rupted.
The interruption could not have
been more startling. 1t was laugh,
a hoarse feminine laugh that rose
high on crescendo Of pain and
shattered on a sob.
A girls tall, big body crashed
through the hedge beside which
Schuyler and Vee-Vee had been
standing, ran blind, zig-zag course
up the path.
Mani" Schuyler called out in
voluntarily. ooh, damn that grill"
He flung out his hands in gesture
of helpless rage.

| Crandall is simply paralyzed with
horror over the, very idea OF divorce
the poor darling just made uI
her mind to live her own life fol
a while. I don't blame her at all
She has a right to know Ameri-
cans, to choose her next husband
from among the real backbone OF
the country, if you know what
mean"
Thus Mrs. Bannister before she
began, to sulk because Vee-Vee had
so little time for her, before Wee
wee began to try to avoid her cease
less pricking little questions.
Another unintentionally overheard
remark made by Mrs. Bannister on
Tuesday was not SO friendly: "Oh,
of course she's insrfferably con-
ceited! Who was it that discovered
her, introduced her, was kind to
her when she arrived here. friend
less and unknown. I'd like to
knoW?"
But when she encountered Mrs.
Bannister later in the day, on the
lake shore, Mrs. Bannister gushed
and complimented her as usual.
I'm getting marvellous education
in the penalties one pays for being
rich. Toadies, toadies everywhere!
Vee-Vee told herself with slightly
bitter twist to her mouth.
No wonder the real Vivian Gran
dali had patina of disbursement
and bitterness OVERLAPPING the ex-
Quistie loneliness Of her face.
.'They say" Vee-Vee overheard a
girl conf1ding to young man in
the concealing darkness of a June
night, chat this Schuyler Smythe
is the lover she divorced the Prince
for. And they say he hasn't a
penny, is just parasite that she'll
have to support.
"But of course, with forty mil
lions, she can buy any sheik she
wants. And heaven knows he's
good looking quit, Rodney!
Don't glare at me like that, dar-
lnig! OF course, I'm not IN love
with him, you silly boy"
Schuyler Smythe was with Wee
Wee at the time, and she felt his
arm fiexing into gathering ram OF
tensed muscles.
She walked slowly away, down
fower-bordered path, the heavy
fragrance of the blooms like the
faint odor of death in her CULVER
ing nostrils.
"Who is the man they're talking
about - the lover you divorced
Prince Ivan for?" Schuyler's breath
was hot on her neck as he drew
close to her. II haven't dared ask
you before-you have genius fol
riscouraging questions and want
ed to forget that there Is supposed
to be another man-but who is he,
Vee-Vee?
:"God! 7 can't stand this much
longer! You let me come just SO
close and no closer. Why, you
haven't even let me kiss you yet!
But-r'm going to now"
His arms which had been up
raised in a gesture of impotent des-
pair, fell heavily upon her shoulders
gripped her like cables of steel. She
strained away from him, but his
body bent with her, SO that her
slender waist seemed about to be
broken.
"Not yet, Schuyler! Not yeti" she

trains that didn't come

S. d., did the work. Trains were un-
able to get through. AS "A result.
the whole main line of the Milwau-
kee from Mobridge to Terry is with
out freight or passenger service to-
day.
Milwaukee trains are running over
their main line to Aberdeen: then
north over the Midland Continental
to jamestown and then straight ives,
over the Northern Pacific to Terry
where they transfer back to their
own main line.
The Olympian, crack coast-bound
train, passed through early this morn
ing and an cast-bound passenger train
went through at about 10 o'clock
Other freight and passenger trains
are expected during the day. Station
officials here were unable to ascer-
tain when the Milwaukee would be
back on it's own line again.
In the meantime, several main line
Milwaukee towns were practically
marooned. Through passengers were
getting to the coast several hours
ahead df schedule, however.
