Almost down to her Last cent, Christine accepts Wilmet's offer, agrees to do sket- ches at his Boardwalk concession.. CHAPTER III Christine hurried back teethe ho- tel to assemble her sketching ma- terials. She was to meet her new employer by the Twentieth ,Cen- tury Pier. , . . The crew employer's name, she had learned, was Wilt/let —George Wilmer.. When it had come to giving her own name, Christine had hesitated with an .unprecedented reticence. Then, almost as if someone e se had spoken, she heard herself blurting out " 'POs---Graceepi =:' Hurrying along the crowded Boardwalk, avoiding the omnipre- sent wheel -chairs, the loitering pe- destrains, and the pigeons that swarmed under foot eager for the grain thrown them from the ben- ches that lined the promenade, ehristine tried to explain her squeamishness ,about giving her name. Eventually she excused it on the grounds that Cousin Emma would be embarrassed to find that a Thorenson was working on the Surf City Boardwalk. * * * She found her workshop to be a small booth next door to the Twen- tieth Century Pier—one of the noisiest 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 side, 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 materials and prayed for a chance to use them. 1\'herr, after 15 minutes, no cus- tomers appeared, Christine . sug- gested, "Nothing draws a crowd like the sight of someone working at an easel. Why don't I begin with the Maharajah of Bahawaipur —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—his warm brown skin set off by a robe of -some rich Oriental material and belted with a golden cord, through which was thrust an exquisitely chased dagger.

'*1*1 41PF°s the "maharajah" was draped a tur- ban of bright silk, fastened with: a single gent; and his slender brown feet xvere laced into jeweled san- dals. 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— you know—that Indian swami over over there." * * * As if he had beard, the gorgeous Oriental turned, fixed his eyes up- on Christine, and detached himself from. his pillar. Although be was not a tall man, there was in his bearing an air of. authority before which the crowd fell back. He moved to the railing and stood, looking down. .. .His eyes, Chris- tine was surprised to find, were not dark, but a tawny brown, with lurk- ing yellow light::. At length the "swami" extended a hand and said in a voice aston- ishingly deep and resonant, "It is good. I will take it," When Christine passed the sketch ' to hint over the railing, he slipped a bill into her hand and turned away. "Wahl" Christine called.. "Your' change—" "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 air. 1'i'ilmet hovered on the NAVY GETS A 'SAP' 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.

He had been surprisingly gener- ous about her commission, Al though she had worked only a little over half a day, it would be almost $4. She must, however, look for chea- per quarters. She found a room on a side street, and having already cots: 'street, and having already coni- sn.itted herself as "Grace Nevin;' she registerred under that 'name, and hurried back to the Crestview to retrieve her belongings, and see if Cousin Emma had not sent some message. But there was no message. Chris. tina went upstairs, puzzled and un- easy. She told herself that it was this uneasiness which accounted fox her strange feeling that something was amiss in her rootn. * * * • She had unpacked very little the night before. Getting ready to move' should not take long, Nevertheless, she sat down, a frown between her brows. The maid 'had finished her work; here before she had returned from. breakfast, There was no reason. why anyone should have entered+ the room afterwards. , ..Nor why the bags should have been disturbed on their rack. , . Yet they had. been. When Christine shade an invert. r • of her possessions. th 'were toy they all in their places; test her uneasi ness persisted.

All the sewing is done on the wrong side of the garment; Overhand the patch in place with tiny stitchessshwn, on the wrong side. Overcast raw edges and press well. If the patching is carefully done if thread and design of the patch are both matched with the garment, it is scarcer 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 nail—and she owned enough shares to lick it single -hand - cd. Why in God's name do you suppose she didn't come?" * * * The murmurs added unreason- ably to Christine's uneasiness. Even If Cousin Emma did not take her responsibility as 'hostess in a Iife 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 from the street, and cane out near the Twentieth Century Pier. The blare of a band and the-'shieks of the crowd told her the shows must be in full dying. 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 awhite drew Christine's attenti©,t..,: It proved to be a. sheet of,.paper fastened to ' her easel. Carryi<fag'.,tt` . to the light- ed Boardwalk, she read: •."If•y oti; , are Worried—if you are unhappy=consult Chandra. Free 'public readings at the Temple of -Truth every evening at 10." * * * Christine crossed the Boardwalk and sauntered along. A doorman, resplendent as a rear admiral, stood in front of the hotel just opposite her booth. Then carne a shooting gallery— so 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 onejade green hat and, a cluster of violets; a small, glass=eriolosed stage on which tiny mechanized mannequins displayed the fabric of a snanufac- turer of synthetic cloth; a cosine '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 • she carte to an entrance that looked like the facade of an Oriental tem- ple. Over this concession Christine read the words, "Temple of Truth." (To Be Continued) All Fan. People Asked To Support 6th .Victory Loan The farmers of Ontario have al- ways been strong Victory Loan supporters, says Alex IfeKinitey, 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 will 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 town.
