It was incredible that just one week before at that hour she had been hurrying to work at the Peach Bloom Cosmeteis | Company's offices, worrying over the fact that she had to make some last minute purchases before she could leave that night on her wonderful va- sation. Just one week! "Life," said Vee-Vee Cameron to herself, as she sniffed the crisp golden- yellow rose that had lain beside her 'ced honey-dew melon, "is very ter- -ible and very wonderful" At ten o'clock Mrs. Crandall sent for her, receiving her in her own bou- loir. Because her own maid was tsill hovering about the dressing table, Mrs. Crandall folded her daughter pro tem 'into her arms and kissed her with ev- ery show of devotion. But when the maid had been dismissed, Vivian's mo- ther abruptly dropped her f fond and in- dulgent attitude. Her voice became risp and cool, as if she were speak- ing to a paid secretary. "Mr, Crandall and I believe that it will be best to go directly to our Long "sland estate on Manhasset Bay," she raid briskly. "You will of course be in rather strict retirement for the sum- mer, a fact which is easily explainable on the ground that you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown due to your unfortunate experiences--the divorce and the kidnaping. 1 am sorry to say that it will be impossible for us to en- tertain any of our most intimate meats ed are approved" o all the Family" --=- when it's CLARK'S Pork & Beans, the steaming dish of tempting de- liciqusness everyone, leases e beans are always cooked just right and the prime pork and the rich sauce add their savour.

"I should not enjoy having to trcad on egg-shells all summer and the chances of discovery would be too great. But 1 have one request to make, Mrs. \Crandall--" "By the way, me as 'Mother' before the servants, an: Mr. Crandall as 'Father' or Mrs. Crandall interrupted. ly none of the servants has been with us longer tahn a year. Vivian does not even know their names, except Soames', of course. Now, what is your request ? I hope it is a reasonable one." Vee-Vee flushed brightly but her eyes did not waver and her voice was as crisp and cool as Vivian's moth- er's. "I must have your permission for my aunt, Mrs. Cartwright, and my best friend, Mr. Macklyn, to call as often as I like," she said steadily. "Your aunt?" Mrs. Crandall frowned slightly. "That rather complicates matters, doesn't it? Does she have to know ?" "She does," Vee-Vee retorted firm- ly. "She knows already--at least she knows that I have been mistaken for your daughter and that I have been kidnaped. She is of course as anxious for my safety as you were for Vivian's. 1 assure you that she is a well-bred woman." | suppose that is not an unreason- able request," Mrs. Crandall smiled and shrugged. "Now as to the young man ~for he is young, I suppose?" "Yes," Vee-Vee answered, flushing more brightly than ever. "He'is a very successful young business man--the ad- vertising manager of a very large con- cern. In fact, he is my employer, or was, until I went away on my vaca- tion." "You're going to marry him, of course ?" Mrs. Crandall asked casually, her eyes interestedly regarding her | just-made-up face in the mirror of her | dressing table. Vee-Vee drew in her breath sharp- ly. "Am 1?" she asked, and the words were a question, not an evasive retort, uestion asked wonderingly of her- Self, But there was no answer--yet, It was hard to think of being romanti- remember to address 'Dad'," cally and worshipfully in love with Jer- | ry, and yet it was impossible to ima- gine life without him-- "OF rourse you are!" Mrs. Crandall | laughed, and somehow the constraint anu suspicion between them was sud- ent oone, and they were friends. "Will you let Jerry Macklyn come to sce me?" Vee-Vee asked confid- ently. "What a very nice name he has!" Mrs. Crandall smiled. "I suppose he is i» the ='»t, knnws all about it?" ."Yes. Vivian likes him enormously," he added cunningly. "They are sworn friends." "I'hen, since the man loves you and "= my daughter's friend, I sunpose there is no reason why he should not come to sec you as often as he likes. vou'd better telephone him, my dear, and relieve his anxiety. Of course he has seen the morning papers and knows that vou have been accepted as Viv- ian Crandall, both here and by police and press. But he must be very eager 'a hear from you. Use my telephone there. It is a direct line out, not con- neted with the house phones." Vee-Vee called the familiar num- ber, her heart pounding with a curious joy that she was to hear his voice again, But it was Rosemary Fitch, of course, who answered. Jerry's phone. And of course she recognized Vee-Vee's voice instantly. "Vee-Vee!"" she ejaculated, and there was a note of disappointment under her excitement. "Where in the world are you? I'm sorry we had only a : minute the other morning. When are you coming back ?" 'I'm not coming back, Rosemary," Vee-Vee answered, with a sidelong glance at Mrs. Crandall, who was pre- tending, like the lady she was, not to listen. "I'm resigning my place at Peach Bloom. My new position takes me out of town, Rosemary. i'm leaving today, so i shan't have time to come in to see you all before I go. I'm sorry, Is Mr. Macklyn there now?" "Yes, he's in.

When Jerry's voice came booming over the wire, color flooded ded Vee-Vee's face and her voice was low and rich as she spoke to him.

"But we'll be mighty sorry to lose you here, Miss Cameron." ed, "will you tell am going--an why? And tell her that she will hear rom me tomorrow." Vee-Vee hung up the receiver with reluctance, her heart guriously hungry for an intimate word--one of Jerry's fondly uttered "darlings." Of course he could say nothing, with Rosemary listening, her keen little ears pricke cagerly--. And how darned glad Rose- mary was that she--Vee-Vee--was not coming back! She thought it left her a clear field, did she? It was posi- §ively disgusting the way Rosemary d flung herself at Jerry's head. So house is besieged by report- ers, my dear," Mrs. Crandall informed her, breaking in on her revery. 'think we'd better flee to the country as quickly as possible." At luncheon, served with pomp and state in the dining room, two footmen and the butler in attendance, Rufus Worrell Crandall was almost genial, though the light of battle still glit- tered in his eyes. "If New York newspaper reporters turned their persistence, ingenuity and nerve to business tehy would become the millionaires for whom . they now make life miserable," he commented 'cryptically, and that was his only re- | ference to the morning-long tourna- ment of wits against money and influ- ence. Vee-Vee learned from conversation between her "parents" that the house- keeper, half a dozen maids, two foot- men, the chef and two under cooks had left before noon for the Manhasset ! Bay estate of the Crandalls, and that the big house would be at least habi- table when the family reached it late that afternoon, Other servants were being sent on from employment bu- reaus and the remaining servants in | the Park Avenue house would journey 'to Long Island as soon as the town house could be put in order for clos- ing. Soames, the butler, would of course be in the country house by the time dinner was served, When she returned to her room she found that her maid had packed her clothes and was ready for the trip to Long Island. And at three o'clock she was seated in a long, luxurious, for- eign-made limousine, between Mr, and Mrs. Rufus Worrell Crandall. News- paper photographers, lined up on ei- ther side of the doorway of the Park Avenue house, 'the Crandalls, father, mother and "daughter," as they stepped out to en- ter the limousine drawn up to the curb. hen, two and a hal they reached the summer home, Vee- Vee felt that the gates of the Crandall | estate were the gates of a prison and that not even by good behaviour could she succeed in winning a commutation of sentence. | There was one consolation, ever. There would be as in every prison, Aunt Flora and Jerry would come. They should receive her special deliv- ery letters that night; they might even be able to come the next day--Sunday. Dear Jerry! How he would beam and chiickle at the success of Vivian's plan. How boyishly impressed he would be with this lovely country place. Dear Jerry! But her very frst caller was Jerry Macklyn. Her first. "visitors day" brought the last person in the world she wanted to see, the person she had hoped never to see again, But --she might have known that he would not be forced out of the picture so easily. The Schuyler Smythes of this world are not sensitive -- else they would not be Schuyler Smythes.

The 'majority of the marriages took place on Satur- day and nearly 20 brides were back at their school desks Monday, happy and smiling. The ban on married women as teachers is becoming somewhat general among the educational authorities in England because of the glut of young graduates who are unable to obtain appointment as teachers, HUMANE SOCIETY RECOGNIZES HEROISM OF BOBCAYGEON LAD | Bobcaygeon, Oct. 3--~One of the events of the annual fall fair held here today was the presentation of on honorary testimonial by Reeve W.

Moore from the Royal Canadian Humane Association to Frank Con- way, 14-year-old lad, for prompt ac- tion and presence of mind in the res- cue of little Ray Mark from drown- pe in the Trent Canal locks on July 12.

"It is rapidly approaching," declared Rev. William P, Yoard. "It will come before 1934," supple- mented Major James Knowles, chair- man of the Federation. "Afterward a new era in world gov- ernment will commence. "Signs of the crisis are discernible already. They confirm prophecies de- ciphered from the symbolism of the great Pyramid in Egypt. "The Anglo-Saxon races at present are fulfilling the Biblical prophecies concerning the race of Israel. "The punishment of Israel ended to- ward the close of last century. The punishment of Judah will end in the next decade." It is the belief of members of the Federation that the great Pyramid was built with the idea of conveying to future generations prophecies concern- ing their fate. By a coincidence, leading spiritual- ists, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, have concurred with the Israelites in their assertions that a new world crisis is approaching rapidly. Some prophesies are that earth- quakes, great. storms and a universal war will combine to rock the world to its foundations, and purify its sur- vivors for a new life.

Wagstaff, a former artillery sergeant major made a fifth annual futile effort Tuesday to deliver a petition to the Prime Min- ister in behalf of the unemployed. Dragging the chains, which were coil-, ed around his feet, legs and neck, Wagstaff was stopped by police as he clanked and rattled through Downing street.en route to No. 10 to see Premier Baldwin. Refused permission to pre- sent his petition, Wagstaff departed, removed his chains and delivered it dressed in ordinary clothing. Similar attempts to make the plea of the unemployed in such: spectacular attire as the "chain" suit have heen prevented for each of the last four years. Wagstaff is said to have been Rat a wool worker for years and he is in~ pressing the Government to do some- thing to stop "this hellish unemploy- ment." BLAST KILLS TWO MEN David Rosbeck, a aged 37, and Charles Hatley, aged 28, of Lisbon, were instantly killed op Friday on the Rosbeck farm, about eight miles east of Ogdensburg, when a case of dynamite which they were unload- ing from a truck, exploded. Hat- leys body was hurled 200 feet across a field, while Rosbecks body land- ed alongside the highway 150 teet away. The truck was completely demolished. .

De Lury of the Dominion Observatory here in an interview today expressed the opin- ion that the prevailing warm weather will last for some time. He described the spots on the sun, which have been pronounced in late years, andl said they resulted in more heat reaching this Jplanet--not a great deal more, but suf- ficient to have a very appreciable in- fluence.
