'O CMREBRQSvCOIIMIfED PRESTON ONTARIO SERIAL STORY Murder on the Boardwalk BY ELI MORE COWAN STONE Last Week: Unable to locate her •oasin, Christine moves to the ho- tel named in her mysterious tele- yhoiM conversation. Almost down to her last cent, Christine accepts Wilmet'g offer, agrees to do Bket- tbn at hit Boardwalk concession.. CHAPTER III Christine hurried back to the ho- tel to assemble her iketching nia- teriali. She was to meet her new •n.plcYer by the Tiveiiticth Cen- tury Pier. . . . The new employer's same, ihe had learned, was Wiimet â€" George Wilmet. ." When it had corrie fo giving Jier •wn name, Christine had hesitated with an unprecedented reticence. Then, almost as if someone else had apoken, she heard herself blurting •ut, "Nevinâ€" Grace Nevin." Hurrying along the crowded Boardwalk, avoiding the omni-pre- atnt wheel-chairs, the loitering pe- deatraini, and the pigeons that awarmed under foot eager for the grain thrown them from the ben- •has that lined the promenade, Christine tried to axplain her aqueamishnesi about giving her aam«. Eventually the excused it •a tht grounds that Cousin Emma would be embarrassed to find that % Thorenson was working on the tml City Boardwalk. . * • Sh« found her workshop to be a •â- uU booth next door to the Twcn- tlatii Cantury Pier â€" one of the ^•ItUtt amusement centres along the Boardwalk. It was several feet below the level of the walk, and you went down to it by a ramp at one side. The "studio" was frug- ally furnished with an easel, a camp stool, and at the rear, on the beach aide, with a bench some eight feet long, having a slab of concrete for a top. The place had apparently taken a beating from dampness and frost, for the walls were cracked and crumbling; and someone had re- cently mended the top of the bench and the floor about it with fresh cement, into- which Christine's heel sank and stuck. Mr. Wilmet, coming to her res- cue, was nervously apologetic: "I'm so sorry, Miss Thorenson. I had to do some repairing." Christine got out her sketching miterials and prayed for a chance to use them. When, after 18 minutes, no cus- tomers appeared, Christine tug- gested, "Nothing draws a crowd like the sight of someone working at an easel. Why don't I begin with the Mahar;ijah of Bahav.aipur- â€" or whatever his name is:" She indicated a figure that stood by one of the pillars of the pier. ♦ ♦ » He was, as Christine had inti- mated, a magnificent spectacle â€" his warm brown skin set off by a robe of tome rich Oriental material and belted with a golden cord, through which was thrust an exquisitely chased dagger.

He stood like a statue, his arms majestically folded, gazing with brooding brows out to sea. Already Christine was at work; and almost immediately a curious crowd began to gather along the railing of the Boardwalk above. As she sketched, she heard Some- one say, "She's drawing Chandra â€" you know â€" that Indian swanii over over there." « * * As if he had heard, the gorgeous Oriental turned, fixed his eyes up- on Christine, and detached himself from his pillar. Although he was not a tall man, there was in his bearing an air of authority before which tlie crowd fell back. He moved to the railing and stood, looking down. . . .His eyes, Chris- tine was surprised to find, were not dark, hut a tawny brown, with lurk- ing yellow lights. At length the "swanii" extended a hand and said in a voice aston- ishingly deep and resonant, "It is good. I will take it." AVhcn Christine passed the sketch to him over the railing, he slipped a bill into her hand and turned away. "Wait!" Christine called. "Your change â€" " "I have said that it is good," he returned ,and strode away. A woman said, "Of course that was staged. These Boardwalk people advertise each other." * * * It did prove to be good advertis- ing. Soon Christine was busy. For a while Mr. Wilmet hovered on the NAVY GETS A 'JAP' That bayonet-jabbing Jap sol- dier at top is a tough-looking hombre whom you've probably seen a number of times. He's actually Antipas C.

Stationed at San Diego for train- ing, ho hopes to be assigned to Pacific theater of war, where he can help liberate his homeland from the Nips. outskirts of the booth; but even- tually he melted away into the crowd, and Christine did not see him again that day. He had been surprisingly gener- ous about her commis.sion. Al- though she had worked only a little over half a day, it would be almost W. She must, however, look fpr chea- per (jnarters. She found a room on a side street, and having already coin- Itreel, and having already com- mitted herself a.s "(irarc Nevin," she registcrred under that name, and hurried back to the t'restview to i^ctrievc her belongings, and see if Cousin Knima had not sent some message. Hut there wa.s no message. Chris- tina went upstairs, puzzled and un- •asy. She told herself that it was this uneasiness wliidi accounted for her ttraiigc feeling that something was amiss in her roonu « . • She had unpacked very little the night before. Getting ready to move should not take. long. . . . Neviiiluliss, she sat down, a frown between her brows. The iiiaiil had finished her work here before she had returned from breakfast. There was no reason why anjone should have entered Ihe nioin afterwards, . . .N'or why the hags should have been disturbed on their rack. . . . \et they had been. When C'lui-.tinp made an inven- tory of her possessions, they were all in their places; yet her uneasi- ness persisted.

If the patching is carefully done if thread and design of the patch are both matched with the garment, it is scarcely noticeable. vator, she was startled out of her preoccupation by murmured conver- sation behind her: "It couldn't have happened if Emma Talbert had been there." . . . "She's been fighting this mer- ger tooth and nailâ€" and she owned enough shares to lick it single-hand- ed. Why in God's name do you suppose she didn't come?" * * * The murmurs added unreason- ably to Christine's uneasiness. Even M Cousin Emma did not take her responsibility as hostess in a life and death way, it was out of char- acter for her to play truant when money was concerned. Once established in her new lodgings, Christine's restlessness made the indoors unendurable. Go- ing down to the street, she turned without conscious volition toward the brilliant lights of the Board- walk, climbed the stairway that led iiom the street, and came out near the Twentieth Century Pier. The blare of a band and the thicks of the crowd told her the shows must b« in full swing. A little forlorn- ly she stepped down into her own booth, next door, to listen to the band. „ The booth was in almost total darkness; a gleam of white drew Christine's attention. It proved to be a sheet of paper fastened to har easel. Carrying it to the light- ad Boardwalk, she read: "If you are worried â€" if you are unh'appy â€" consult Chandra. I'rec public readings at the Temple of Truth everv evening at 10." ' * * • Christine crossed the Boardwalk and sauntered along. A doorman, Msplendent as a rear admiral, stood In front of the hotel just opposite her booth. Then came a shooting gallery â€" lo poorly patronized that the pro- prietor had leisure to follow Chris- tine with an appraising stare. Af- terwards: the window of the Paris Smart Shop, featuring one jade green hat and a cluster of violets; a small, glass-enclosed stage on which tiny mechanized mannequins displayed the fabric of a manufac- turer of synthetic cloth; a cosme- tician's exhibit, in Chinese red and silver jars; a bowling alley; an auc- tion room; an oculist's window, with a grotesquely animated replica of a pair of human eyes. At last the came to an entrance that looked like the facade of an Oriental tem- ple. Over this, concession Christine read the words, "Temple of Trutli." (To Be Continued) All Farm People Asked To Support 6th Victory Loan The farniers of Ontario have al- Afays been strong Victory Loan supporters, says Alex McKinney, Jr., President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture. They see in these loans an opportunity to accomplish two things. By lending money to the government they become pow- erful supporters of the war effort; and these bonds may contribute to better homes and buildings, new machinery, drained land and gener- ally improved farms when the things their money will buy w-ill be available in the peace to come. The Ontario Federation of Agri- culture appeals to all farm people to support the Sixth Victory Loan even more fully than any previous loan. "Spoonerisms" Anthony Blount heard a lecturer tay "puineagigs" for "guinea pigs" and "theedles and nimbles'' for "neeles and thimbles"; Emily Wedge, of Baltimore's famous Enoch Pra'tt Library, quotes a gentleman who declared "My wife says I've had tee many martoonis, but I'm not so much under the al- fluencc of incohol as some pinkie theep â€" I mean thinkle peepl" â€" Bennett Cerf.
