Murder on the Boardwalk
BY ELINORE COWAN STONE
Last week: When Christine ar-
rives in Surf City to visit her
Cousin Emma, there is no one to
meet her. Christine calls her cou-
sin's home, is told service has been
discontinued. The telephone oper-
ator adds, mysteriously, "If there's
any trouble, you're to call Main

the agitated vo:.e at the other end
of the line broke cif. \Vliet: the
girl spoke again, it was with the
studded impersonality of the regi-
mented operator: "I ant sorry. 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

once, "11 there is a respectable ho-
tel in Surf City, I suppose it's the
Crestview,"
"Ole the Crestview, I suppose,"
Cluatiue said eaeually.
"The Crestview, pati" He looked
at her With new interest. "\Veil,
there c nothing like camping on the
battlefield .: you have Amalgamat-
ed ehares vqie tomorrow."
"1 s i Christine echoed.

car's out there"
"Thanks, but I'm taking a taxi."
He shrugged.
".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.

esid: "Now I know what they mean
by 'the army and navy forever."
Then he sat down.
