Bill tells Chris- tine he saw Wilrnet ear a trail at 9,0, at Jasper inspector isig her. She realizes the was certain she knew Jaspar. CHAPTER X "Then," Christine said slowly, "if you're right, Bill if he is skulking in the dark somewhere — and if he does kill some one else, P11 be — well, a sort of accomplice, won't I — because I didn't tell ghe 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 spend a lot of time behind bars." But in spite of Bill's light words, his voice was tense with worry.the A newsboy came along Boardwalk shrilling, "Wuxtryl Read all about It! Molder on the toidwalk! Wuxtry! Wuxtryl" Bill bought a copy. "Here's a good Iight," 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. * * At one of the items Christine stared 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 ant?" "An unknown person," the item read, "has mailed to this office a document purporting to be the will of Mrs. Emma Talbert. According to that will, the dead woman's en- tire fortune — except for a sub- stantial bequest to the butler who HEADS BOY SCOUTS IN CANADA has served bcr for years is left to her only relative, -- Thorenson." "It couldn't make you ul antrything ehind g but what yon are;" say reassuringly, "sweet and good and honest." space was given A good deal of 1 up to the mysterious beach -comber who was at large after having been e arrested in connection with case, The rumors were (1) that he was a notorious underworld cha- racter; (2) that be was an anar- chist who hated the rich; (3) that he was a homicidal maniac. A great deal of significance was attached to footprints frons the rowboat toward leading owardthe booth where the body was found, one pair of which, police were re- ported to have said, had been iden- tified as Mrs. Talbert's. . One itemtold launch ldwhich of a strange the Coast going sea - picked out, . ap- parently lights had p drifting at anchor a mile 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. "Key?" echoed Bill, who was frowning over the item. In a moment he added, "Oh, those boys use can openers"; but bis voice sounded flat and strained. * * * Aside front the space given Jas - par, Bill 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 Christipe was horrified to find herself played up in lurid co- lors as the "Boardwalk Mystery Girl"... "WHY," one headline I. screamed, "WAS THE COUSIN OF THE WEALTHY MRS. - TALBERT MASQUERADING ON THE BOARDWALK UN- DER AN ASSUMED NAME?" There was a 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, Bill," she choked, her voice breaking at the stark pathos of it, "all these years she hasn't had any one but me, and I — I never really tried to be nice to her... And now I haven't any one either." 7ySioa Christine Are arrive a one-way at cherry pie?o Don't be so set iyou n yourrt tth waylerries do s V Venture yono always much more exciting! new flavor fields.

CLIFTON" BRISTOL, ENGLAND gSiffOR FLYTOX * * Bill drew her to one of the benches that lined 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 me — if you want me . I didn't mean to tell you — not for months — because I didn't dare think you'd believe me.. , I hardly believed myself that it could happen all at once And because this was Surf City, concerned first and only with ifs 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 between 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 r; himself, "So far as, they're cone's cernedwe're not even here... Anething could happen to any one on this Boardwalk, and no .one else would. .even notice." Liaier, sin,. the crisis that rushed well thetie with e'lleh cruel inevita- bility, Christine was to remember his words. Lieut. Wayne Morris, former motion picture star, walks across Pacific Fleet carrier deck 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 Wake ake Island raids. WELCOME TOFRANCE * When they finally reached Chris- tine's door, Bill took her almost roughly into his arms again. "I wish to God I 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 her own room, Chris- tine set systematically about the examination of her belongings. ' I'nl a superstitious fool, she thought in the release of her new happiness. But I've got to be sure. At length she found it — in a big manila envelope into which, be- fore she had left New York, she had hastily stuck some canceled checks she didn't quite want to throw away. "It" was a thick sheaf of thou- sand dollar bonds. There was -nothing to indicate whose they were; and Christine did not look through the bundle to find out how many there were. After the first frightened look, she dropped them as if they burned her fingers and sat staring, her shaking hands j tight at her throat. Hon. Rev. H. J. Cody, C.M.G.; M.A.; L.L. D., D. D., D. C.

You've probably got -a re- porter in -each pocket... And don't be worried when you read in the paper that the shoes of one William Yardley have been found to fit in- to one pair of footprints found by the police."
