Your party floes not answer." For a moment Christine sat, stunned, trying to grasp the entirety of the dilemma in which she found herself. She did not even try to understand the amazing conversa- tion she had just finished. She could go to the hotel; of course—but in the present state of ber finances, any hotel bill assum- ed the dimensions of a national debt.. , . Or she might just sit here for the rest of the night. But in that event, how was she to get rid of that officious young man? As she had expected, lie was waiting inexorably when she went back to the platform. "Well?" he demanded. "Well," Christine told him, cat- ching at the Hirst phrases fate Ient , to her tongue, "it seems that as the result of an unexpected domestic upheaval, my cousin had no one to send to meet mc. So I'm to go to a nice, quiet hotel for the night." "A nice, quiet hotel in Surf City?" He grinned. "Have you one in mind?" Scrabbling about in her memory, Christine pulled out a name. ▪ "Crestview," the telephone girl had said. And Christine ,definitely recalled Cousin Emnia's remarking HARNESS & COLLARS Farmers Attention Consult your nearest Harness Shop about Staco Harness Supplies.

".May I call one for you, or does your rugger; individualism run to calling your own cabs?" * * * At that moment a taxi rolled into a berth at the etid of the platform, and laughing a little, they hurried toward it. While the driver was stowing Christine's bags away, the young man began almost diffidently, "Of course, I'm takinga chance of your shouting for the police, but the Crestview runs into money, What I mean is—weld, I know that young girls don't carry s lot around, especially when they're vis- iting relatives. If you—it would only be a loan—" • Christine thought, "It's strange, but I never felt this way about a man before—as if I'd known him forever—as if borrowing from hint would be perfectly right and ;lat- eral." Aloud she said, "I'nt really all right. But thank you, Mr,—" "The fellers," he told her, "call me 'Bill' , . . I wish you would, iss Talbert." "But my name isn't Talbert. It's Thorenson—Christine Thorenson." * * * Once in her luxurious quarters at the Crestview, Christine emptied the contents of her purse on the bed and counted anxiously. When she had told the bare- headed young man that she was "alt right," she had been guilty of a brash overstatement. After she had bought her railway ticket, she had had left a thin sheaf of bills which she optimistically expeeted to stretch into pin -money and mod- est tips to Cousin Emma's house- hold. Now, after the extravagance of a night at the most "respectable" hotel in Surf City, she would bare- ly have enough for a return ticket to New York—and no prospects to speak of after she got back, "Oh, well," Christine told her sold, "Cousin Emma must have made some arrangement for mc. I'll hear •from her tomorrow." She took a bath in the luxurious tub, put on her best satin night- gown, and fell into a dreamless sleep, • * * When the sunlight awoke her early next morning, her immediate , interest was only in breakfast—Iots of it. She dressed carefully, seleetieg her green linen with the orange and black embroidery, which was per- fect will, the copper of her hair, and the opened -toed pumps she had picked up for alsnost nothing at * little New York shop, On her way through the hotel lobby it secured to her that there must be a message from Cousin Entnta, and stopped' at the desk. But there was no message for Miss '.tihorenson. Christine thought'a little forlorn. Iy as she went down the Boardwalk, scrutinizing the mentis posted In the windows of the cheaper res- taurants, "I'll think of something— after I've had a good, strong cup. of .coffee" But even after two cups—neltlteq.
