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. s s 0 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 °R FANIILY WILL ENJOY uLEFTOVERS ! xr%Mita, CREAMED MEAT A LA PREMIUM Cooked Meat White Sauce Chtibri stie's Premium SodCrackers ' texture with the wonderful finny, Cube treat, add to highly seasoned saucet; serene t thoroughly and for an easy-to•prepa1e, tasty on Christie's Premium Soda Crackers.

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," * * a It dict prove to be good advertis- ing.. :Soon Christine was. busy. For a while Mr. l'r'ilnet hovered on the NAVY GETS A `JAP' That bayonet -jabbing Jap soI- diet at top is a tough -looking hombre whom you've probably seen e number of times. He's actually 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- TO MEND A THREE CORNERED TEAR 1.40*4 0,40101 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." (To Be Continued) MI Farm People 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.
