Murder on the B®erdwalk
BY ELFNORE COWAN STONE
ChAPTER I
• As the train pulled into the Surf
City station, Christine Thorenson
was almost sure that the bare-
headed young man across the aisle
was on the point of offering to
lake her bags,..
During the ride down the const
she had been aware that his eyes
frequently strayed in her direc-
tion.— , , . Pleasantly aware, f o r
Christine liked the appearance of
the young man so much that she
did not even mind his wearing'
glasses. She liked•his broad shoul-
ders, his bronzed skin, and the
sunburned look of his hair, as if he
never wore a hat. Christine who
habitually went bareheaded, cherish-
ed a native belief that all people
who disliked hats were inherently
hottest and safe to know,

Bat even if the bareheaded young
than were Sir Galahad in person,
she could .ot be explaining strange
young wren to Cousin Emma at the
depot. Cousin Entnta did not be-
long to a school that welcomes
chance acquaintances. And a
great deal depended on this visit

If Cousin Emma should sn t

A year ago, Christine wouldin-

Jaspar; but possibly Cousin Emma
had a new bt,ticr.
As the Intra came up to her,
Christine asked on a swift impulse,
"I .wonder if you're looking for

Mrs, Talbert sent you to meet me.
Pun her cousin, Miss—"
The elan halted.
"1f there is anything T can do—"
he began; but the bareheaded
young Malt cutin:
"Are you, or are you not, here to
meet this young lady?'
As it happens, no." The man's
smila eras faintly amused. "I am
taking- a train?

He strolled off, his glance barely
grazing Christine; but she had a
feeling that his apparently incur-
ious eyes had not misseda detail.
As he crossed the platform and
boarder[ a train which seemed about
to pull out Christine, who was tis -
ed to cot ducting her own affairs
turned hotly Ltpou the young man.
"Sorry," he said. "But do tlo you
usually run around telling your af-
fair, to strangers? Serf City isn't
the ,safest place for that sort of
thing. In case you don't know,
this town is a resort for shady

wondering how you can be sure
I'm not planning to grab your
purse, Myself. - • You can't, But
you really do need sonteone to lookafter you,' •
Becauge Christine could n a t
guess how absurdly young she
ooked, she was furious,
"If you will excuse me," she said
with whet dignity site could muster,
"I think I will call my cousin's
house."

Cousin Itnlna's telephone was on
a rural exchange. Christine had to
call long distance.
"Benchnlolit 1,246," she directed.
"I want to speak to Mrs. Enema
Talbert,"
Sit waited—interminably, it
scented to her. At length the op-
erator spoke: "Please excuse the
delay. I'm new at this exchange,
but here's the other girl. She'll
talk to you."
A second voice asked, "Who is
calling Mrs. Talbert, please?"
"This is Mrs. Talbert's cousin
—Miss Thorelison; Christine an-
swered surprised by the question.
"Ohl,:,. Well, the other oper-
ator didn't know, Miss Tltorenson,
but-hfrs. Talher"s service has been

"Discontinued?" Christine gasp-
ed. "When?"
, "But—there must be some mis-
take. I was to visit her."
"There's no mistake. nfrs. Tal-
bert has closed Iter house. We
had notice two days ago."
"Do you know where she fs?"
"I am sorry. I cannot tell you
that."
Christine, who realized that in
talking this Hutch the girl had ex-
ceeded her authority, said, "Thank
you," and was about to hang up
when the operator called, "\Vait a,
minute!, ... I was to tell you," she
went on hastily in a lowered tone,
"if you called the hous: while I was
on duty, that in case -someone
doesn't get in touch with you at
once—"
"Someone?" Christine interrupt-
ed blankly. "Who' Are you
quite sure—"
"Please don't talk—" the girl's
voice leas tense and hurried, "Just
listen, , , . If anyone is listening,
this may cost me my job."
Christine, who !.mew only .too
well what it meant to lose your job,
saidswiftly, "I'an listening,"
"I ails to tell you," the girl hur-
ried on, "that .if there's—any trou-

New Zealanders
Earn Admiration
Of United Nations
The name of New Zealand is
being kept before the eyes of the
world these days as a result of
the part which tine soldiers of the
great little Dominion are playing
in the fighting for Cassino, says
The Ottawa Citizen. The New
Zealanders snake up but a com-
paratively small force in the urth
Array, but they are the kind of
fighters who keep finding their
way into the news.
New Zealanders drove back the
Germans in the battered Italian
town in bitter hand-to-hand fight-
ing. But they have been fighting
a long time in the hfediterrean
campaign, They and the Indians
flanked the Mareth Line under
Montgomery when Rommel stopped
to make a stand in his flight
from Libya, They fought all the
way from EI Alamein to Cape Boit,
Tt is probable that almost all
the original members of this New
Zealand force have become cas-
ualties in the last four years, But
there must be still a few tough
veterans left who fought in the
r .rguard action in the dramatic
British retreat from Greece, Ex-
cept for two or three' mouths
Syria after Crete, these N . Zea-
landers bane been fighting ever
since through long months of heat,
cold, sand and mud.
