Af- ter the show ends, she remains. Chandra comes to her at once. CHAPTER V "I am glad you waited," Chan- dra began with a direct simplicity Christine had not expected, "No doubt," she said icily, "this' was a fair exchange. But don't you think you might have let me in on the plot?" "Miss Tltorensoti"—his smile was tired—almost, if secured to Chris- tine, worried—"I suppose there's no way of convincing' you that I really want to help you:" "So you do know niy name? - But then, of course, you've !tad me followed by some of your spies ever since I got off that train— perhaps even before And if you're a hIindu, I'm the Duchess of Windsor. , , . Well. rot fed up on theatrical tricks. What I'd like is some real triple -threat facts—if you've got any." * * * "Then, (Miss Morel's' the "swami" told her with a gentleness so persuasive that, for the moment, Christine's stern young skepticism was almost broken down, "you were very unwise to register at your new. address under an assumed name. I see for you a very real danger." "Web, Mr. Chandra—or what- ever your real name is," Christine said, "since I seem to have no se- crets from you, you couldn't sug- gest, I suppose, exactly what it is I ought to do—aside from inspect- ing my baggage for an unmention- able object presumably placed there by a person or persons unknown?" "I could suggest—but it would do no good," he told her wearily, 'that if you find—what I have rea- son to think you will—you com- municate with me at once, by a messenger I will gladly place at your disposal. I shall then be in a position to advise you." "Thanks a lot," Christine flash- ed. "1'1 take niy chances on the persons unknown;'. * * * As she marched out, she glanced at her watch.... After 31, and she was a good two smiles from home. Well, she needed a brisk walk to clear her mind after all that hocus- pocus. 01 course the idea that sire could be in any danger was just funny. The whole scenario was ridiculous- ly clear—beginning with that tele- phone girl—and all so crude and bungling. Yet, in spite of her bravado, Christine jumped when a voice said at her shoulder, "it would be you. Don't you know that no girl with eyes and hair like yours is safe from unwelcome attentions on this Boardwalk at night?" "So it seems," Christine said when she could control her voice, "No doubt if you had your way curfew would ring at sunset for every wo- man under 80." * * * The bareheaded young man trust have run up the stairway from the beach; for he was breathing quick- ly, and Inc hair was rumpled. "Well," he went on with such infectious pleasure that Christine found herself feeling for the first time that day that it was marvel- ous to be young and alive, "!nay - be 371 he able to enjoy my meals now, When I called the Crestview this afternoon, they told me you'd checked out.. , . But let's get out of this snob." They had been standing just in front of Christine's "studio." As they moved on under the lights of the Twentieth Century Pier, Chris- tine stopped short In the midst Of the crowded, noisy Boardwalk, "But"—she cried—"why you're drenched l" The sleeves and front of his coat and shirt were dripping, trickles of water ran down his dight trous- ers, and his shoes were sodden and caked with wet sand, "Olt, that?" He glanced down with some embarrassment, "I got pretty close to the surf -line, and a big one caught me amidships." * * * Christine was a not an introspect live young person. She was no more capable of analyzing her sud- den lift of spirit than she had been of understanding that her restless- ness and lonliuess of the earlier evening had not been entirely due to worry about Cousin Enuna's Season's Special — Rhubarb Pan Dowdy Lives there a homemaker who doesn't enjoy the thrill of concocting something "different", So here's a pudditi —especially spring -timed, and easy to make be- sides. It's a delightful combination of mouth-watering fresh rhubarb with a crunchy tapping of whole bran, designed 'to do wonders for a dessert course. And don't overlook tate color—why spring pink, of course, as delectable as your new spring bonnet.

She only knew now that she felt more at horse with this tanned stranger whom she had met barely 24 (tours ago—store warmly glad to,see .hint --than she would have felt with any one she had known a lifetime; and that her pleasure in beilig with (tint again was as right and natural as the clean sea breeze. "I'ut cold, too," he was going on plaintively. "Something hot to eat would feel right good at this ntintite —and Decker's is just a comfor- table walk along the Boardwalk. That's the one place in Surf City that doesn't reel: with fried pota- toes Aud I hate eating alone. Conte on, Miss Tltoreoson," he wheeled with an engaging grin, "be a good scout." "I'd like to, only"—Christine laughed for the first time that day —"except that the fellers call you Bilk I don't know your name." "I answer much more docilely to 'Bill; bttt if I forgot to mention it, the rest of it's Yardley," he told her. Then he added with someth- ing behind tate senile in his eyes that made her catch her breath, "I hope you're going to like it." • * While they were waiting at the table Bill had found by a window that overlooked the sea: Bill said, "It occurs to rte that there's a lot about me besides my natne that you don't know. I raise horses for a liv- ing—nighty fine horses. But the market wasn't too good this year; so I tools over the riding school here, You see, I've had a Handi- cap over you all along. When I heard you say you were Mfrs. Tal- bert's cousin. I knew you wouldn't be interested in lifting my watch." "If you'd known the whole truth," Christine said wryly, "you'd pro- bably have kept your hand on that watch. , Not that I'm not Mrs. Talbert's cousin; butt there're been occasions—not so long ago—when a nice 17 -jeweled watch would have trade my fingers itch," "Christine," he said abruptly, "something's worrying you. Why not get it out of your system?" "You'll probably laugh," Chris- tine hesitated. "I hope you will I've had a feeling all along that I ought to; but somehow my sense of humor doesn't seen: to be work- ing this week -end." * * * Yet when she did tell him the whole story of that preposterous day, he did not Laugh. • Instead, he frowned over his cig- aret, "So Chandra tools a hand? That bird cuts a pretty wide swathe. People come here to con- sult hint about everything from. the baby's first tooth to the outcome of the presidential elections: financiers, successful writers and artists and actors; political bosses, social reg- isterites. They say he used to be an actor. He's probably part psy- chologist, part mystic, part shrewd business man, and part stage man- ager. I've never heard of his being involved in anything really shady. In fact, if Chandra told me to go 'mute and look under my bed for Barnum's elephant, I'm not sure I wouldn't take a chance." They had left the restaurant, and had strolled back to the Twentieth Century Pier, Suddenly Bill broke off, "Look — there's something wrong!" On the Boardwalk just :ahead' a crowd was milling about, inter- spersed with figures in uniform. Afterwards, Christine remember- ed that everything that happened during the grim hours that follow- ed had much the quality of an un- real but none the less terrifying dream.
