CHAPTER X "Theta," Christine said slowly, If you're right, Bill - if be is elrulking in the dark somewhere — and if he does kill some one else, I'll be - well, a sort of accomplice, weu't I because 1 didn't tell the police who he 'was and have them lock him up?" "Nonsense! Not telling all you know doesn't constitute you a cri- minal. If it did, most of us would Ovid a lot of time behind bars." But in spite of Bill's fight words, his voice was tense with worry. A newsboy carte along the Boardwalk shrilling, "Wuxtry! Read all about it! Moider on the Boidwalk! \Vuxtty! \Vuxtry!" Bili bought a ropy. "Here's a good light," he said; and They stopped to read, Most of the first two pages were devoted to the sensational murder of the wealthy and exclusive wi- dow, Mrs. Emma Talbert. * * Ai one of the items Christine attired with blanching cheeks. "You said awhile ago," she fal- tered at last, "that not telling all I knew didn't make me a crim- inal-.. What would this make me?„ "An unknown person," the item read, "has mailed to this office a document purporting to be the will of Mrs, Emma Talbert.

"It couldn't make you anything but what you are," Bill tried to say reassuringly, "sweet and good and honest." A good deal al space was given Up to the mysterious beach -comber who was at large- after having been arrested in connection with the. case. The rumors were (3) that he was a notorious underworld Cha- racter; (2) that he was an anar- chist who hated the rich; (3) that he was a homicidal maniac. A great deal of significance was attached to the footprints leading from the rowboat toward the booth where the body was found, one pair of which, police were re- ported to have said, had been iden- tified an Mrs. Talbert's, One item told of a strange sea- going launch which the Coast Guard lights had picked out, ap- parently drifting at anchor a Haile or so off shore, directly opposite the booth where the tragedy had occurred. According to the news- paper, a detail from the Coast Guard had motored out and board- ed it, only to find it abandoned. A last-minute story told of the finding of the murdered woman's car, and the discovery in it of a hypodermic needle and a quantity of a powerful drug. "So the inspector's key did open the car," Christine said. "Ilcy?" echoed Bill, who was frowning over the item. In a moment he added, "Oh, . those boys use can openers"; but his voice sounded flat and strained, * * * Aside from the spec given Jas - par, 13111 and Christine received the lion's share of publicity. Bill came off with flying colors. The impres- sion conveyed was that he had pur- sued the killer along the beach in an heroic attempt to prevent the crime. But Christine was horrified to find herself played up is lurid co- lors as the "Boardwalk ,fystcry Girl"... "WHY," one headline screamed, "WAS THE COUSIN OF THE WEALTHY MRS. TALBERT MASQUERADING ON THE BOARDWALK UN- DER AN ASSUMED NAS,IE?" There was 5 gruesome descrip- tion of the finding of the body, graphically contrasting Mrs, Tal- bert's rigidly cloistered life at ex- clusive Beachmont with the taw- dry setting of her violent death. Over that, Christine shed her first tears, "Oh, 13i11," she choked, her voice breaking at the stark pathos of it, "all these years she hasn't had any one but me, and I — 1 never really tried to be nice to her... And now I haven't any one either." Bill drew her to one of the benches that lineal the Boardwalk and gathered her gently into his arms as if she had been a very little girl, and she sobbed against his shoulder until gradually she found relief. :Presently, he said, close to her ear, "You've got me, Christine. You'll always have -roe — if you want Inc . . I didn't mean to tell you — not for months — because 1 didn't dare think you'd believe me.., I lfardly beliei'ed' myself that it could happenall at once A Vote For Variety Are yon a one-way cook? \\'hen yon start with cherries do you always arrive at cherry pie?

Water may be substituted for part of juice if necessary. that way. But this is who; I've wanted from the first." Because site had been so sure from the beginning that Bill was safe and wholesome as the fresh sea air and sunshine; and because she realized all of a sudden that this was what she had really wanted from the 'beginning, too, Christine did believe him, and clung to hhn es the one sure, sane refuge in a world suddenly gone insane. SHOOTING STAR Lieut, Wayne Morris, former motion picture star, walks across Pacific Fleet carrier dee& to ready room upon returning from his third mission of the day against Japs. Lieutenant Mor- ris, who flies -a Navy "Hellcat" fighter, was in recent Marcus and Wake - Island raids. And because this was Surf City, concerned first and only with its own interests, its own amusement, its own desires, the Boardwalk crowd eddied and passed without a backward glance. At length Christine sat up, pro- testing behveen tears and laugh- ter, "Bill — all these people! I couldn't have believed I'd ever do a thing like this." And Bill said, a little unsteadily himself, "So far as. they're con- cerned, we're not even here... Anything could happen to any one on this Boardwalk, and ne Date else would even notice." Later, in the crisis that rustled upon theta with such cruel inevita- bility, Christine was to remember his words, * * * When they finally reached Chris- tine's door, 13111 took her almost roughly into his awns again.. "1 wish to God 1 didn't have to leave you alone," he said, his voice hoarse with trouble. "Promise me that you'll be careful, Christine if you have any idea what the word means." Once in iter own rootu, Chris- tine set systematically about the examination of her belongings. I'm a superstitious fool, she thought in the release of her new happiness. But I've got to be sure. At Length site found it — in a big mmmila envelope into which, be- fore"she' had left New York, she had hastily stuck some canceled checks she didn't quite want to -throw an•tn• "It" was a thick sheaf of thou- sand dollar bonds.
