Christine calla her cou- dn's home, is told service has been discontinued. The telephone oper- ator adds, mysteriously, "If there's •ny trouble, you're to call Main »079." CHAPTER 11 "I was to tell you to get a room •t the Crcstview, and â€" " Abruptly ihe agitaled voice at the other end •f the line broke off. When the girl spoke again, it v,as with the Itudicd impersonality of the regi- mented operator: "I am sorry. Your party does not answer." For a moment Christine sat, •tunned, trying to grasp the entirety •f the dilemma in which she found herself. She did not even try to understand the amazing conversa- tion s!ie had just finished. She could go to the hotel, of course â€" but in the present state of %er finances, any hotel bill assum- ed tiie dimensions of a national 4ebt. ... Or she might just sit here for the rest of the night. But in that event, how was she to get rid of t!iat officious young man? As she had expected, he was â- waiting inexorably when she went back to the platforiu. "Well?" he demanded. "Well," Christine told him, cat- thing at the first p!:rases fate lent t0 her tongue, "it seems that as the rtsuU of an unexpected domestic upheaval, my cou?fn bad no one to •end to met me. So I'm to go to • nice, quiet hotel for the night." "A nice, quiet hotel in Surf City?" Be grinned. "Have you one in mind? " Scrabbling about in her memory, Christine pulled cut a name. . . . "Crettview," the telephone girl kad said.

"Oh, the Crestview, I suppose," Christine said casually. "The Crestview, hm?" He looked at her with new interest. "Well, there's nothing like camping on the battlefield if you have Amalgamat- ed shares to vote tomorrow.'' "Battlefield?" Christine echoed. "I hear there's likely to be a merger between Amalgamated and National at the stockholders' meet- ing. . . . But forget it. It's not my war anyhow. . . . Wei!, shall we start? I'll drive you over. My car's out there" "Thanks, but I'm taking a ta.xi." He siiruggcd. "May I call one for you, or does your rugged individualism run to calling your own cabs?" » * * At that moment a taxi rolled into a berth at the end of the platform, and laughing i little, they hurried toward it. While the driver was sjowing Christine's bags away, the young man began almost diffidently, "Of course, I'm taking a chance of your shouting for the police, but the Crestview runs into money. . . . What I mean is â€" well, I know that young girls don't carry a lot around, especially when they're vis- iting relatives. If you â€" it would only be a loan â€" " Christine thought, "It's strange, but I never felt this way about a man before â€" as if I'd known him forever â€" as if borrowing from him would be perfectly right and nat- ural." Aloud she said. "I'm really alt right. But thank you, Mr. â€" " "The fellers," he told her, "call mc 'Bill' ... I wish you would, iss Talbert." "But my name isn't Talbert. It's Thorensonâ€" -Christine Thorenson." * * * Once ill her luxurious quarters at the Crestview, Christine emptied the contents of her purse on the bed and counted anxiously. When she had told the bare- headed young man that slic was "all right," she had been guilty of a brash overstatement. After she ha<l bought her railway ticket, she had liad left a thin sheaf of bills which she optimistically expected to stretch into pin-money and mod- est tips to Cousin Emma's house- hold. Now, after the extravagance of a night at the most "respectable" hotel in Surf City, she would bare- ly hav(! enough for a return ticket to New York â€" and no prospects to speak of after she got back. "Oh, well," Christine told her- seld, "Cousin Emma must have made some arrangement for me. I'll hear from her tomorrow." She took a bath in the luxurious tub, put on her best satin night- gown, and fell into « dreamless sleep. * * * Wlien the sunlight awoke her early next morning, her immediate interest was only in breakfast â€" lots of it. She dressed carefully, lelecling her green linen with the orange and black embroidery, which was per- fect with the copper of her hair, and the oi)ened-toed pumps she had picked up for almost nothing at a little New York shop. On her way through the hole! lobby it occured to her that there must be a message from Cousin Emma, and slopped at the desk. . . . But there was no incs«age for Miss Thorenson. Christine thought a little forlorn- ly as she went down the Boardwalk, scrutinizing the menus posted in the windows of the cheaper res- taurants, "I'll think (d jometliing â€" after I've had a gooil, strong cup of coffer." * • • But even after two cuptâ€" neither DEUCIOUS MEALS BY CANADIAN ARMY COOKS Delicious army meals come from these ovens made of scrap material.

As often happened when she was deeply absorbed, siic reached for a pencil â€" found one a waitress had left on the table, and the only draw- ing surface at hand, the back of a menu card â€" and began to sketch. Housing from her abstraction, Chri.-tine compared her sketch with the original, the fat, insufferably self-satisfied looking proprietor of the cife; she was frowning over the finishing touches when a voice said, "Excuse me, but that is really ex- cellent!" Startled, Clirisiine turned. A plump, neat little man â€" bald ex- cept for a tuft of hair well back on a shinny pink scalp â€" was peer- ing down at her sketch through a.stigniaiic lenses. He might have been any small- town business man, or a teacher or clcrgyniau on vacation. . . .Chris- tine decided against the clergyman. After all, this was Surf City. ♦ « ♦ When Christine looked up, he gave a funny duck of a bow and coughed apologetically. Because he looked so like he \\as afraid of offending her, and because CJiris- tine was a friendly young woman, •he gave him iier best smile and said "Thank you." "I suppose," he asked, "tliat-vru! are employed somewhci.: as an ar- tists?" "I wish I were," Christine re- plied from her heart. rj\JaUia^^Jicelct You'll be proud to display tliese lacy pineapple doilies on your pol- Ithcd table and buffet tops.

"You see," he went on, "I have a concession that isn't paying. I should be grateful if you could help me." "Should you mind," Christine asked, clasping her fingers to keep them from shaking, "explaining what you want?" "I need some one f" do portraits â€" very much like that, but in color. You'd just stand in a studio near the Boardwalk and draw passers- by at so mucli each. A fast work- er like you should easily make $5 a day. . . .

"For $3," Christine told him, "I'm entirely willing to make them all look like movie stars â€" especially if it will contribute to the self- esteem of the great Americin pub- lic. When do we start?" Christine had no way of know- ing that with her impulsive accept- ance of what seemed unbelievable good luck, she plunged intc the most tragic event of her life. (Continued Next Week) Empire Youth Sunday, May 21 Mav the twcntv-first has been selected as E.MPIRE YOUTH SUNDAY this year. His majesty the King has again accoided his patronage to tht occasion. The day is to be observed as usual by cluirclics, educational authorties and Y'outli Organizations through- out the British Commonwealth- Empire â€" and beyond.
