"Look for the Store with the Cream Front" PRINCESS dnne Qustin ing of her heart. But he did not kiss her, although it required every ounce of his strength to keep his lips from that adorable quivering mou that was so near his own. He did not want a kiss of gratitude, given in a moment of reaction. "Aren't you curious to know how 1 found you?" he asked gently. "Not much," she confessed, sighing with profound contentment. how did you find me? I knew you would," she added childishly, as if she could not say the words often enough. "Your roughneck boss has been hob- nobbing with a princess and an heiress worth 40 million dollars," he grinned down at her. "As a matter of fact, the princess and I are the best of friends. We go driving together be- fore dawn--" "Jerry!" she cried, lifting her head from his breast and staring into his blue eyes incredulously. "Vivian Crandall came with you? Not her, Jerry!" "If you're going to use grammar like that I'll have to fire you and get a new private secretary," Jerry laughed boomingly. Crandall in person, not a movie. She's waiting in my car on the road below. I told her I'd better tilt with the prince alone. By the way. where is he?" "I locked him in the cabin, after --after--" Vee-Vee shuddered. "Judas Priest, child!" Jerry scolded her. "Don't you ever go to the mo- vies? big scene? I was all set to tear you from the villian's arms and give him the beating of his life, and them you go and rescue yourself! you, is that nice? Is that the way a helpless heroine behaves--stealing the hero's thunder?" "I'm sorry," she giggled helplessly. "I stabbed him, too, with a can opener, and he's probably in a rotten temper. Have you got a gun?" "How can you ask?" Jerry chuckled, shifting her in his arms so that he could take a small automatic from his coat pocket. Then his face became suddenly serious, as he demanded: "You're sure he didn't harm you? T'll kill him if he did, and leave his blue- blooded carcass to rot in that shack he fancies as a rendezvous." "He didn't have a chance to harm me," Vee-Vee told him, color flooding her cheeks. "My friend, 'Happy,' one of the kidnappers, guarded me last night. The other one is dead," she added simply, and pointed to the twist- ed mass of wreckage entangled in the tree tops above them. "Miss Crandall and I saw that and guessed what had happened," Jerry said soberly. and found the poor devil was dead. So the other one lit out, did he? That simplifies matters a whole lot. We have only the prince to deal with now, and I rather imagine Miss Crandall can make short work of him. There she comes now! Vee! She's not a princess, she's a queen!" Vee-Vee was too bewildered to speak. The one person in all the world who had legitimate cause to hate her and reproach her had come personally to rescue her. Of course Jerry Macklyn had explained, had ex- onerated her, Vee-Vee told herself, hut why had Vivian Crandall come herself ? Of course the real Vivian: had re- turned to her parents, had given the lie to the story of her kidnapping, and by this time the papers were full of the bizarre story of the girl who had impersonated a princess.

"Miss Crandall, this is Miss Cam- eron," Jerry's voice broke in on her dazed speculations. "Well, now, what do you two think of each other? Do you think you'd get mixed up as to which was which if you were shut up in a room together?" The two women who looked so startlingly alike confronted each other for the first time. Green eyes gazed Two slim white hands met and clasped, and in that* moment, without explanations, without questions, Vivian Crandall and Vera Cameron became friends. "Im awfully glad we found you, Miss Cameron." Vivian Crandall spoke as matter-of-factly as if the two girls had met in a drawing-room. "I hope you can find it in your heart to pardon me for having caused you so miuch trouble by my thoughtlessness in dis- appearing. Of course I had no idea that I possessed a double." Vee-Vee tried to speak, but tears choked her voice, and she turned help- lessly to Jerry, who put his arms about her again. "I've explained the whole situation to Miss Crandall, and she does not blame you in the least, Vee-Vee," he assured her. "Now if you'll listen a minute, and quit crying like a blessed baby, I'll tell you how Miss Crandall' happened to get in touch with me and | how we found you. Don't worry about the prince, Miss Crandall. This "Yes, ma'am, Miss Vivian | intrepid heroine has locked him in the a week ago in connection with the 'get good and ready to let him out." "I've always hoped that my dis- gusting little prince would find his | match and he seems to have done so at last," Vivian Crandall said. "But suppose we sit down on that old well top over there and be comfortable while we spin fairy stories for each other. I imagine Miss Cameron can make our adventures seem tame, Mr. Macklyn." Jerry, seated on the edge of the rot- ting well-top, with a green-eyed cop- per-haired girl on each side of him, told his story first. "So no one knows yet but us and the prince that I'm not Vivian Cran-! | dall?" Vee-Vee demanded, amazed but | dopiting, when Jerry had finished. "No one," Vivian Crandall assured her. "Now tell us your story, please. | It was Ivan's choice little scheme, of | course. But tell us how he managed | it and how the kidnappers happenel to be mixed up in it." Vee-Vee narrated her adventures as briefly as possible, but she was | frequently interrupted by exclamations of * pity, incredulity and anger from both her hearers. When she had concluded, Vivian Crandall rose and to her impulsively, stooping to kiss her came to her impulsively, stooping to kiss her cheek. "My dear, you were unwittingly do- ing me a very real service," Vivian Crandall said softly. "Didn't it oc- cur to you to wonder where I was all the time, swhy I didn't come forward when detectives were searching for me:"" ¢ "Of course it did," Vee-Vee smiled quiveringly. "The truth is that I was" imperson- ing you!" "I--don't understand!" Vee-Vee gasped. "You had never seen me, any more than I had seen you--" "Let me explain." Vivian sat down beside Vee-Vee and took her hand, which she stroked caressingly as she talked. "You have had a breif ex- | perience with fortune-hunters. You know what it means to fall in love with a man and find that he is think- ing only of the money he thinks you have. I have had a lifetime of what you have gone through in one week-- so far as fortune-hunters are concern- ed," she went on. "I had lost all my faith in men and love. I had never even had the great good fortune to, be in love. Every time I was in dan- | ger of losing my head and my heart, the man betrayed himself and showed ' that he was worshipping the golden image and not the flesh-and-blood' girl. . "And yet you are the most lovable woman I have ever seen," Vee-Vee in- terrupted her. | "You are a real girl, Vivian Crandall told her, her hand tightening its clasp upon Vee-Vee's cold fingers. "And you will never know how licky you are that you are a penny princess and not a dollar princess, that you can love and marry whom you please, sure that the man loves you for yourself alone and not for a golden crown." "That might have been true--last week," Vee-Vee confessed miserably. : "But now--who will have the courage | to love a girl who has been so unfor- tunate and so foolish as to get herself into the scrape that I am in? To- morrow the whole country will read 'my story and laugh at me and scorn { me--the Cinderella who played prin- | cess for a week--and was caught be- cause she did not leave when the clock struck twelve." Jerry Macklyn and Vivian Crandall exchanged a long, significant smiling look, then the woman who had been a princess asked a startling question Jin her cool, sweet voice: "Would you like to be the Princess Vivian for a little while longer, Vee- Vee--for my sake?"

SEPTEMBER 30, 19 'guns. !mvateries were trade -- ------ FANTASTIC HURDER STORY CONFESSED St. Paul, Minn. Man Needed Private Grave Yard for Victims St, Paul, Minn., Sept. 30.--A fan- tasiic story of maniacal murder, done by a man who boasted he need- ed a private grave yard in which to bury his victims, was told to pol- ice Tuesday. The tale of murder was told4 oy Art "Wicky" Hanson, under arrest charged with killing James Barrett, an automobile loan financier. " Hanson confessed that he had shot Barrett in self-defense, but that act was an incidental detail to the chain of crimes of which Han- son accused Barrett. Barrett, he said, had shot and killed five men and five women over a period of 18 months. His victims, Hanson said, included Mrs. Barrett, her sister, Lillian Kooser, and iwo St. Paul policemen. Hanson was arrested in Chicago murders of Mrs. Barrett and Mrs, Koozey, who were found shot to deat hin Barrett's home. Accord- ing to Hanson's story, he shot Bar- rett as the result of an argument after the double murder. "We got into an argument," he confessed, "and both of us drew Hanson fired first but my aim was better." Barrett had told him, Hanson as- serted, that he killed the two offi- cers because they beat him up while making an' arrest. Barreit's splurge into wholesale murders was the result of love af- fairs and liquor deals, Hanson con- fessed, according to the statement given out by police. "He had boasted to me that he had killed so many persons that he needed a private grave yard to bury his dead," Hanson said. The long series of murders in St. Paul during the past 19 months had been aitributed by police to an un- derworld feud. All the unsolved declared to have had some connection with each other, Hanson's confession, the pol- ice believed, cleared them all up. 4 ) BRIDE AND GROOM DROWNED WHEN CAR PLUNGES IN POND GIRL IS STABBED Brdigeport, Conn., Sept. 29.-- Ruth Stillings, aged 14, high school tennis star, was stabbed in the breast tonight while ony her way home from Blardsley Park, the girl being the twenty-fourth victim of Bridgeport's "phantom stabber" in two years.
