There was a door, but she knew that it had been made fast with a padlock before "Satan" had left to arrange the mysterious details 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 latchless, like a swinging door between a kitchen and butler's pantry, There was no way at all by which it could be made fast, to serve as a protection for her-against either the kidnappers or the prince, if they should desire to violate her pri- vacy, Her heart lunged sickeningly with fear, but she quickly conquered it, tell- ing herself that she was not the vil- lian-menaced heroine in a western movie, The prince had not inten. tionally abducted her, His desires were centered on the woman who had been his wife, the woman he thought he was abducting. Under- standably enough, he was angry with her--Vee-Vee, and probably weuld be as glad as she when the ransom was paid and they were released, or taken within a reasonable distance of New York, however, the kidnappers might arrange the details of the ransom. It was silly to be afraid, she told herself scornfully, x Along one wall were two bunks, built one above the other, as in the front room, Both were neatly made up, with new sheets, and with new brown army blankets, Curiously she turned back the sheets to discover what sort of mattresses the abandoned old cabi had offered its guests, and found tha they were not mattresses at all, but the cushions of an automobile, So the prince had a car somewhere near, unless the kidnapper, "Sagan," had confiscated it." It had not occurred to her before to wonder how the prince had arranged his own part of the mad adventure, but it was fairly evident that he had either rented or hought a car for the trip. On the folded-back blanket of the top bunk lay a pair of | pale blue silk pyjamas, as neatly ar- ranged as if the prince's valet had laid them out for him. When she had taken off her eve- ning dress earlier in the morning and dressed herself in more suitable clothes, she had left her suitcase on the floor, and had hung her dresses on big, rusty nails in the wall opposite the hunks. Although it was broad day- light outside, the room was in semi- darkness, hecause of the hoarded-up window, hut her eyes were hecominge accustomed to the lack of light and she had no difficulty in finding the nrince's suitcase, a huee hrown leather affair, almost covered with foreign hotel and chip Tahels. He had nvshed it out of sight beneath the lower hunk, as if he had the instincts nf a me- ticulous housekeener.

THE OSHAWA DAL RINCESS dnne Qustin floor to the swinging door, She paused only to Jick up the prince's silk py- jamas, which she stuffed under the lid of the case without examining its con- tents, then she pushed open the door, and called out, in a matter-of-fact but imperious voice: "Here is your dressing case, Ivan The prince who was sulkily return- ing packages of food to the small wall cupboard beside the fireplace, while the kidnapper, "Happy," looked on, grinning with amusement, whirled to face her. "Leave it in there," he commanded her in a crisp, clipped voice. "I am sure you will find it more con- venient to have it here, where you will sleep and dress," Vee-Vee told him evenly, Before he could reply she had dump- ed the suitcase upon the floor and re- turned to the back room, She stood just inside the door, her hand on her heart, her ears straining for his foot- step. But he had evidently concluded not to press the point--so early in the morning. She did not undress--could not bring herself to do so, with that door likely to swing open any minute--but lay down in the lower bunk, smoothing her skirt' carefully to avoid wrinkling it, and drawing the sheet over her slim There was no pillow, but she thought she could not have slept, even | if there had been a cushion of down under her tired head. An hour ago she could have slept standing, but coffee and food had revived her body and stimulated her brain, Surely no girl had ever paid more dearly for her folly in running after a man, she thought bitterly, The mem- ory of Schuyler Smythe and his hid- eous unmasking in the hour when she had needed him most, had thrown her- self on his pretended love, shot through her heart like a red-hot sword, Her whole hody 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, a tall, lean body--it had taken no more than these to turn the head of an efficierit business woman like Vera Victoria Cameron, to make her for- get everything else and follow a strang- er into a Sunday Supplement series of wild adventures, What a fool she had been, what a 'silly, romantic, blind little fool! She could have saved herself the soul-searing humiliation which Schuy- ler had brought upon her, could have extricated herself from the whole, foolish situation, if she had only heed- ed Jerry's pleas in the letter which he had armed her with, What must Jerry be thinking of her now? Was his love, which she had done nothing to hold and which she had valued so lightly because her dreams were fixed upon another man, strong enough to follow her into the peril which she had | brought upon herself? Then a sudden thought 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 Crandalls 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. Jerry had told her all about the red- headed, freckle-faced little fighting "Irisher" that he had heen, had hoasted a little, because her eyes had heen kind and sympathetic, of the seven-league- hoots strides he had made toward the top of his profession, He had told her of his hard-working, big-hearted, adoring mother, had shown her that mother's picture and she Bad wanted to lay her head on that broad hosom and feel the warmth of the heart that was still now forever. And now she --she, an idiotic, vain girl who had not had sense enough to value the Felt Bros. 1 he LEADING JEWELER? Established 1886 SOUTH Make YourOwn SOAP and Save Money!

Jerry!" 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 conse- quences of my own folly! Make him hate me now so that he will keep si- lent! I'll lie for him, tell them that I--I alone--am responsible for the whole thing! Please, God, make me a good liar, so that they will believe me, no matter what he says!" To the girl, rocking 'with agony for the man who loved her and whom she had scarcely given a thought to before, her prayer did not seem ludicrous. Her determination to save Jerry Macklyn, in spite of himself, if nec- essary, gave her almost instant peace. She relaxed, lay inert upon the sheet- covered automobile cushion, and soon the tears ceased to flow. Before the last of them had splashed from her white cheek to the sheet, she was asleep, one hand hanging limply over the rought hoard that formed the side of the bunk, Several hours later she was dream- ing that she was seated on the hig couch in Aunt Flora's living room, and that Jerry Mackiyn sat on the has- sock at her feet, his head, with its flaming red curls, against her knees, her fingers, which had been straying lovingly through those curls, impris- oned 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 beauty?" The strange voice--not Jerry's voice --pierced the veil behind which she had heen dreaming. Real lips--not dgeam lips--were moving against the tips of her 'fingers. In the semi- darkness, her eyes, wild with fright, saw the spiked ends of a waxed mous- tache and pale, hulging eyes, glittering with passion. She screamed, a high shrill sieeb of fright-- ' !

MAGISTRATE STATES POSITION TO PRICE (Continued from page 11) ishment prescribed is over five years the court is empowered to impose a fine in addition \to, hut not in lien of, imprisonment. Then there is also Section 1081 of the code, which empowers the court to suspend sen- tence with the concurrence of the ahle with not more tuan two years' imprisonment, and where the maxi- mum imprisonment is more than two years the court may suspend sentence provided the Crown con- curs. In this perjury case, the maxi- | mum punishment being seven years, three courses were open to me, namely, imprisonment, imprison- ment with fine, or suspended sen- tece with the concurrence of the Crown. "I thought, having regard to the circumstances and the serious nature of the crime, I was at least not too severe in committing the female to ten days' imprisonment and a fine of $25 and the male to two months' imprisonment and a fine of $50. Says Crime Serious "Perjury is not always easy to establish. It is regarded as serious by the courts and should, as far as letter, and, at the same time, en- courage the crime of perjury. The primary consideration in the matter of punishment fs the safety of so- ciety and its deferring influence on others, and when dealing with this very case I had present in my mind 2 comment of Chief Justice Latech- Y.TIMES. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, 1927 an Attorney-Gemeral has thus im- terfered, Is iy not comceivable that your own action in so doing was ill-advised and unwarranted, and a case of judgment'? We have the very high authority of Dr. A. E. Lavell, Secretary of the Board of Parole, for the statement that the power of granting extra mural permits should not be exercised at all where the granting of the permit might be interpreted by the publie as a means of nullifying the in- tention of the Court and the effect of the sentence. (See reports of On- tario Board of Parole, 1925. Page 10), and if Dr. Lavell is right, you were wrong. "Surely in all fairness. if you con- sidered T erred in judgment you should, at least, have given me the benefit of an expression of opin- from the Court of Appeal of five Judges at Osgoode Hall as to the soundness, or otherwise, of my judg- ment before constituting youtself a court of last resort to sit in judg- ment upon me and let me out of of- fice because my judgment was not in accord with your views, However, this is the case which you make the chief corner-stone upon which to build your case for my incompe- tency in office, I suggest that your own action in regard to this case is a dangerous innovation in the administration of justice, and that, after all, my disposition of the case was more in keeping with the mer- its and circumstances than your own intermeddling left it. "Petty Matter" is Claim "Then as to the Howard Thomp- son case of common assault, it seems to me this is a pretty petty mat- ter on which to hang the dismissal of a Magistrate from office, The woman received only a trifling in- jury. She was not seriously hurt, The Howards were,, in my opinion, almost, if not altogether, as much | ta blame as Thompson for what happened, It was just a petly squabble and substantial justice was done. At any rate I consider I was in a better position to pass judg- ment on the merits of the case after | seeing and hearing the witnesses on | both sides just after it happened than you were sitting in vour office | in Toronto with no*hetter rsuide than the biased report of your Inspec- tor of Legal Offices, who in investi- gating the complaint heard only the Howards' side of the case and did not go to the Thompson's at all to hear their version of what happen- ed.
