Tho prince Is furious When he discovers Vera's true Identity but she convinces him they must play the part lest these men murder them on find ing she Is not the princess but a penniless nobody. When the prince learns Vera's true Identity, he Is violently angry but she convinces him f they must play the part, other wise these men will murder them. Meantime Jerry Macklyn in New York reads an account of wAat has happened. When he reaches his office, he Is greeted by Rosemary Fitch, Who stuns him with the announcement she has seen Vera that very morning. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXVI Jerry Macklyn knew then how a condemned man feels when he Is reprieved. He literally collapsed into his chair. "Say that over again and say It slowly. Remember I'm a weak man. Rosemary," he begged, grin ning wanly at her. ^ "I said." H Rosemary laughed, "that I saw Vee-Vee Cameron this morning. I was In the Bronx subway. We were Just pulling In to the 8eventy-8econd street sta tion when the train stalled In the tunnel for a minute. You know how It is?to let another train pase." she explained breathlessly. "Yee, yes, go on," Jerry urged her Impatiently. * His brain was whirling. 80 Vee-Vee had es caped somehow, Ood bless her! She was In the city, would be h?-re any minute?but that, on the face of M, was ridiculous, unless the kidnapers had returned her to New York. All of his hideous worry for nothing! But oh, the re lief! 5. "I saw a girl pushing her way to. the doors to get out at Seven hAk-second. She had on glasses, Mr. Macklyn. like she used to wear, rbut I saw rigM away It was Vee Vee. I had Just been reading In the paper where this Vivian Cratt dall had been kidnaped and that she'd been using Vera's name and 1 didn't know what in the world to make of it. You know, for a minute I had the wild Idea that it was our Vee-Vee that had been kidnaped, and I tell you I was scared??? "That was a wild idea!" Jerry agreed weakly, mopping his fore head with his handkerchief. "What did you say to her?" "I didn't have time to say much," Rosemary rushed on. "It wss a funny thing, Mr. Macklyn, but I had one of those booklets In my hand?you know, "The Mod ern Btory of an Ugly Darkling,' and I'd been comparing Vee-Vee's picture with that Vivian Cran dall'p, In the paper."

"Mr. Macklyn f" a low, pleasant voice come over the phone. , that they were not to go out | I or this office!" I "I know. Mr. Macklyn," Rose-1 |mary flushed. "But I'd just tak 4'n It home for mother to nee. Sure ty mother doesn't matter. And a?y I way what harm can It do for Vee IVee to have ona of them? The story's about her?" V "You gare Vee-Vee one of those booklets?" Jerry demanded. "Tee, I did." Rosemary burst Into tears. "I don't see what you're ao sore shout! I was Just saying to her, 'Vee-Vee,' I said, 'I've Just been reaGlng the papers about Vivian Crandal) and I was scared to death it was you. I nev er was ao glad to see anyone in my life,' I said." "And what did she say?" Jerry urged her, weakly collapainc I again and closing his eyes. "She didn't answer me. 8he: 1 was Jhst looking at the booklet ; ! 1 held in my band, open to her j picture. 8he said, 'Let me see | that please,' as if she was start led. I remembered what you'd said about Vee-Vee not wanting the booklets to be sent out, be- j cause ahe didn't want everyone to | be calling her 'The Peach Bloom | Girl* and I said, 'Oh. we're not sending them out, Vee-Vee, until 'you come back from your vaca-1 tIon. I Just took this one homej i to show mother. Here, you can! have it,' I said, aod she took it,1 and Just then the train jerked in- J to the 8eventy-8econd street sta tion and Vee-Vee pushed her way on out of the car. | "I didn't have a chance to say anything else and neither did ahe. but she turned at the door and smiled at me and waved. Gee, I was glad to see her. But what I can't figure out la why that Vi vian Crandall used Vera's name, unless they were friends or some thing and ?why, Jerry, is that | why Vee-Vee had herself all fixed up to look just like Vivian ?ran dall? We girls hsve all been talking about it?how much our Vee-Vee looks like Vivian Cran dall. Do you suppose she did it on purpose, so that helreee could use her name and pretend to be Vee-Vee, Just to fool people and PATARRH II Wpoil of-?

"I b^t those two girls have been having, a lark/' he chuckled. "But the lark'hass't turned out so well for the poor lit tle rich girl who wanted to' be Just common folks, has It? (&? couldn't put K oyer, poor . kid! And now she's Heaven knows where, at the mercy of kldnaptrs. Rut I suppose the Crandall mil lions will get her out ?or- It/ all right." When they had talked a , few minutes longer, Rosemary sudden ly developed an urgent neoeeslty to communicate her news to a new I audience. Jerry watched' hsr trip 1 out of the office on a pretext, knew exactly what ahe would do, hand wished that he could help her I do it. Within half an hour every 1 employe of the Peach Bloom Com pany would be told that Rosemary Pitch had seen Vera Cameron, had tslked with her(ind>new to a- certainty ^hat It was the real Vivian Crandall who had ' bfeen staying at the Mlnnetonka; using Vee-Vee'a name and getting-her self kidnaped. ? . \ ? i Jerry llacklyn held hlmaelf rigidly to hla desk all that dky, not even leaving his office for | lunch lest a telephone call which Norfolk Southern Railroad KFFHCT1VE OCTOUKH 81, 19 ? aS AM NerfHk MS M rn ttmtwrn mM sirs, .sars ssjs Zoeller's Photographs Over Flint A Cltlaene Bank w E have made it pouible for everybody to own a real Diamond.

"Mr. Macklyn?" a low. pleaaant ?olee?the voice of a cultured wo man?came clearly over the wire. "Yet. this is Mr. Macklyn." Jer ry answered, his heart knocklni J i against his ribs. "I am oalllng in reference to an | advertising booklet, published by your firm. I was given your1 name by your switchboard opera-: tor as the advertising manager of the Peach Bloom Company." the low voice went on firmly, without [ a quiver. "Good girl! A thoroughbred!"| Jerry applauded her allently. Then aloud ha aald, "That la correct. I am the advertlaing manager of the Peach Bloom Company. Ia there anything I can do for you. Miee?T" "I am going to make a rather extraordinary request of you. Mr. Macklyn," the cool, musical voice *eot on. "If you are the author of! the booklet. 'The Modern 8tory of an Ugly Duckling.'

And I don't even know whether It'a etiquet to kisa a princess' hand or to smack her on both cheeks, like that Frog general did when ho pinned a medal on me in France." Jerry knew his Bronx. He had been born on Rlvlngton street, on the lower East Side, had fought his way up-town with flats and brain, bringing his mother with him and establishing her in a de cent home in the Bronx, which had seemed like Paradise to him after the push-cart district in which he had passed the first IS years of hla rery active life.

In spite of the heat and the noise and the overcrowdednesa of It, Jerry loved It all, for It had been home to him for ten years? the happiest ten years of his life. He sniffed the mingled odors of over-rlpo fruit, wilting vegetables, fresh-baked bread, and llsIflMons of flsb, offend for Friday's din ner?and found them sweet In his nostrils. The building which he sought was a four-story "walk-up" flat 1 house; that la to say there was no elevator and no doorman. Cer tainly a most amazing place for a Crandall to live, if she did live 1 here! He scanned the four-row battery of bells and mall boxes, found the "4-B" easily enough. |and read the eaxd In the little slot below thF~Bumber. a* he pressed the bell three times.

"Now, if she'd just call<>d her self Callahan. 1 know I'd like that woman, princess Or no princess."
