LII taken malicious pleasure
in watching the Russian prince pre-
pare, entered the second of the two
rooms of the mountain shack in
which she was being held prison.
er, she was no longer too tired to
look about her with lively curiosity.
There was one small window,
roughly boarded over with solid
looking strips of weather-stained
pine. She dragged stool, the only
sort Of chair that the room offered,
to the wall in which the window
was set, and, standing on it, pound
eel against the boards with her fists.
AS she had expected, they yielded
not at all, and any effort to force
an opening by banging upon them
with the stool would, of course, in

knew that it had been made fast
with paddock before Satan" had
left to arrange the mysterious de-
tails of his ransom collecting.
She next turned her attention to
the door which led into the front
room. Vee-Vee had already noted
that it swung, lockless and latch
less, like a swinging door between
kitchen and buffers pantry. There
was no way at all by which it could
be made fast, to serve as a pro-
lection for her against either the
kidnapers or the prince, If they
should desire to violate her privacy.
Her heart lunged sickeningly with
fear, but she quickly conquered it,
telling herself that she was not

Western movie. The prince had not

Sires were centered on the woman
who had been his wife, the woman

splashed from her white cheek to
the sheet, she was asleep, one hand
hanging Imply over the rough
board that formed the side of the
bunk.
Several hours later she was
dreaming that she was seated on
the big couch in Aunt Flora's liv-
ing room, and that Jerry Macklyn
sat Oh. the hassock at her feet, his
head, with its flaming red curls,
against her knees, her fingers,
which had been straying lovingly
through those curls, imprisoned in
one of his big, freckled hands. Her
sleeping body quivered with a
sharp thrill as Jerry's hand carried
hers to his lips
aren't you getting hungry for
your dinner, my sleeping geauty?"
The strange voice-not Jerry's
voicel - pierced the veil behind
which she had been dreaming. Real

Surely no girl naQ ever palu
more dearly for her folly in run
ming after a man, she thought Bit
terly. The memory OF Schuyler
Smythe and his hideous unmasking
in the hour when she had needed
him most, had thrown herself on
his pretended love, shot through
her heart like a red-hot sword.
Her whole body quivered with
shame for him and for herself. How
easily she had been taken in! A
pair of sultry, brooding dark eyes,
a handsome face, tall, lean body
it had taken no more than these
to turn the head of an efficient
business woman like Vera Victoria
Cameron, to make her forget every
thing else and follow a stranger
into Sunday supplement series of
wild adventures. What fool she
had been. what a silly. romantic
blind little fool!
She could have saved herself the
soul-searing humiliation which
Schuyler had brought upon her,
could have extricated herself from
the whole, foolish situation, If she
had only needed Jerry's pleas in
the letter which he had armed her
with. What must Jerry be think
ing of her now? Was his love,
which she had done nothing to hold
and which she had valued so light
ly because her dreams we're fixed
upon another man, strong enough
to follow her into the peril which
she had brought upon herself?
Then a sudden though jerked
her up in the narrow bed. Her
arms went about her knees, and
she rocked herself in an agony of
remorse and pain-not for herself
but for Jerry. For the first time it
occurred to her that she had
dragged Jerry over the precipice
with her. If the CrandalIs paid the
ransom and then discovered that
the girl they had rescued was not
their daughter, no power on earth
could keep the whole miserable
story out of the papers.

strides he had made toward the
top of his profession. He had told
her of his Woodworking, big-heart-
ed, adoring mother, had shown her
that mothers picture and she had
wanted to lay her head on that
broad bosom and feel the warmth
of the heart that was still now for
ever. And now she-she, an idi-
otto, vain girl who had not had
sense enough to value the love of
a real man-had lighted a fuse
that would blow up the world OF
the red-headed boy that that
mother would have given her life
for.
ooh, JerryI Jerryl" she moaned,
rocking herself in an abandonment
to grief. And then she prayed, a
frantic, childish prayer: please,
God, help me to protect Jerry from
the consequences of my own folly!
Make him hate me now so that he
will keep silent! I'll lie for him,
tell him that II alone-am re-
sponsible for the whole thingl
Please, God, make me a good liar,
so that they will believe me, no
matter what he saysl" To the
girl, rocking with agony for the
man who loved her and whom she

of pale blue silk pajamas, as neat

When she had taken Off her eve

and dressed herself in more suit

case on the floor, and had hung her
dresses on big, rusty nails in the
wall opposite the hunks. Although
it was broad daylight outside, the

only to pick up the princes silk
