Murder on the Boardwalk
BY ELINORE COWAN STONE
Last Week: Unable to locate her
eonsin, Christine moves to the ho-
tel named in her mysterious tele-
phone conversation. Almost down
lo her last cent, Christine accepts
Wlhnet's offer, agrees to do sket-
ches at his Boardwalk concession,.
CHAPTER III
'Christine hurried back to the ho-
tel to assemble her sketching ma-
terials, She was to meet her new
employer by the Twentieth Cen-
tury Pier.. .. The new employer's
flame, she had learned. was Wilmot
—George Wilmer,
When it had conte to giving her
awn name, Christine had hesitated
with an unprecedented reticence.
Then, almost as if someone else had
spoken, she heard herself blurting
out, "Nevin. --Grace Nevin"
Hurrying aiong the crowded
Boardwalk, avoiding the omnipre-
sent wheel -chairs, the loitering pe-
deatrains, and the pigeons that
swamped under foot eager for the
grain thrown them item the ben -
ogles that lined the promenade,
Christine tried to explain her
squeamishness about giving her
name. Eventually she excused it
on the grounds that Cousin Entine
would be embarrassed to find that
Thorenson was working on the
Sgtrf City Boardwalk.
r . s
She found her workshop to be a
small booth next door to the Twen-
tieth Century Pier—one of the
tsofsfeet 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 nide. The 'studio" was frug-
ally furnished with an easel, s camp
stool, and at the rear, on the beach
side, with a bench some eight feet
long, having a slab of concrete for
c top,
The place hoe apparently taken
e beating from dampness and frost,
for the wails were cracked and
crumbling; and aorr,eone 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. \Yilmet, coming to her res-
cue, was nervously apologetic: "I'm
so sorry, Miss Thomson. I had to
do some repairing,"
Christine got out her sketching
materials and prayed for a chance
to use them.
hVhcn, after se 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 tate pillars of the pier.

He was, as Christine had inti-
mated, a magnificent spectacle—his
warm brown tkin eat off by a robe
of some rich Oriental material and
belted with a golden cord, through
which was thrust an exquisitely
chased dagger, About the head of

the `Snaharajah"•was draped a tur-
ban of bright silk, fastened with a
single gens; andhis slender brown
feet were laced into jeweled san-
dals. He stood likea 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
ever there."
As if he had heard, the gorgeous
Oriental turned, fixed his eyes up-
on Christine, end detached himself
front Isis pillar; Although he was
not a tall man, there was in Itis
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 lights,
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.
"K'aitl" 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 dict prove to be good advertis-
ing.. :Soon Christine was. busy. For
a while Mr. l'r'ilnet hovered on the

Antipas C. Cobalis, 43 -year-old Los
Angeles Filipino, pictured in one of
many Jap parts he has played on
the screen. Below, he's shown in
his latest—and real—role, as Ap-
prentice Seaman Cobalis, USN.
Stationed at San Diego for train-
ing, he hopes to be assigned to
Pacific theater of war, where he
can help liberate his homeland
from the Nips,
outskirts of the booth; but even-
tually he melted away into the.
crowd, and Christine did not see
him again that day. •
Ile had been surprisingly gener-
ous about her commission. Al-
though she had worked only a little
over ]calf 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 com-
street, and having already com-
mitted herself as "Grace Nevin,"
ahe registerred under that name,
and hurried back to the Crestview
to retrieve her belongings, and see
1f 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 for
her strange feeling that something
was amiss in her room,
•
She had unpacked very little the
night before. Getting really 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 front
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 made an inven-
tory of her posseesinns, they were
all in their ten• plates; yet her uneasi-
ness persisted.
Descending in the crowded efe-

Use an overhand patch for a tear 1 ke this. It is not as strong as a
henunod,patclt but it is less conspicuous, Cut the tear In the fabric to a
square or an oblong. Torn back the edges. Cut the patch slightly larger.
Fit the patch exactly into the hole with its edges turned back as in the
lower sketch. All the sewing is done on the wrong side of the garment,
Overhand the patch in place with tiny stitches, as shown, on the wrong
aide. Overcast raw edges and preys well, If the patching is carefully done
if thread and design of the patch are both matched with the garment,
it is scarcely 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-
ed. Why in God's name do you
suppose she didn't come:"
♦ # k
The nuu•nture added unreason-
ably to Christine's uneasiness: Even
if Cousin Emma did not take her
responsibility as hostess in a life
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
front the street, and carne out near
tate Twentieth Century Pier. The
blare of a band and the shieks of
the crowd told her the shows trust
ba in full swing. Alittle 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 of white drew
Christine's attention, It proved
to he a sheet of paper fastened to
bar easel. Carrying it to the light-
ed Boardwalk, she read:
"If you are worried—if you are
unhappy—consult Chandra, Free
public readings at she Temple of
Truth every evening at 10."
* 0 *
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 came z shooting gallery—
ao 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 one jade
green hat and a cluster of violets;
a small, glass -enclosed stage on
which tiny mechanized mannequins
displayed she fabric of a manufac-
turer of synthetic cloth; a cosnte-
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 s pair of human eyes. At last
'she casae to an entrance that looked
like the facade of an Oriental tent -
pie.
Over this concession Christine
read the words,"Temple of Truth."

Asked To Support
6th Victory Loan:
The farmers of Ontario have al-
ways been strong Victory Loan
supporters, says Alex'McPinney,
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 end buildings, new
machinery, drained land and gener-
ally improved farms when the
things their money will buy will
be available 1n 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
loan.
