Chris- tine believes that he is a fake. Af- ter the show ends, she remains. Chandra comes to her at once. Cn.VPTER V "I am glad you waited," Chan- dra begai; with a direct simplicity Christine had not expected. "No doubt," she said icily, "this was a fair exchange. But don't you think you might have let me in on the plot?" "Miss Thorciison" â€" his smile was tired â€" almost, if seemed to Chri.s- tine, worried â€" "I suppose there's no way of convincing you that I really want to help you?" "So you do know my name! . . . But then, of course, you've had me followed by some of your spies ever since I got off that train â€" perhaps even before. . . . And if you're a Hindu, Pm the Duchess '^^ Windsor. . . . AVell, I'm fed up on theatrical tricks. What Pd like is some real triple-threat facts â€" it you've got any." * • • "Then,. Miss Thorenson," the "swanii ' told her with a gentleness so persuasive that, for the moment, Christine's stern young skepticism was almost broken down, "you were very unwise to register at your new address under an assumed name. I see for you a very real danger." "Well, Mr. Chandra â€" or what- ever your real name is," Christine said, "since I seem to have no se- crets from you, you couldn't sug- gest, I suppose, exactly what it is I ought to do â€" aside from inspect- ing my baggage for an unmention- able object presumably placed there by a person or persons unknown?" "I could suggest â€" but it would do no good," he told her wearily, "that if you findâ€" what I have rea- son to think you willâ€" you com- municate with ni« at once, by a messenger I will gladly place at your disposal. I shall then be in a position to advise you." "Thanks a lot," Christine flash- ed. "I'l take my chances on the persons unknown." » « * As she marched out, she glanced at her" watch. . . . After It, and she was a good two miles from home. Well, ;!v; f.ccdcd a b'-isk \-.u'k to clear 1 er niiiid after all that Uocu.'i- pocns. C>f course tiie idea that she could be in «ny danger was just funny. The whole scenario was ridiculous- ly clear â€" beginning with that tele- phone girl â€" and all so crude and bungling. Vet. in spile of her bravado, Christine jumped when a voice said at her shoulder, "it would be you. Don't you know that no girl with eyes and hair like yours is safe front unwelcome attentions on this Boardwalk at night?" "So it seems," Christine said when she could control her voice. "No donbt if you had your way curfew would ring at sunset for every wo- man under 80." » ♦ ♦ The bareheaded young man naust have run up the stairway from the beach, for he was breathing quick- ly, and his hair was rumpled. "Well," he went on with such infectious pleasure that Christine found herself feeling for the first time that day that it was marvel- ous to be young and alive, "may- be Pll be able to enjoy my meals - now. When I called the Crestview' this afternoon, they told me you'd checked out. . . . But let's get out of this mob." They had been standing just in front of Christine's "studio." As they moved on under the lights of the Twentieth Century Pier, Chris- tine stopped short in the midst of the crowded, noisy Boardwalk. "But" â€" she cried â€" "why you're' drenched 1" The sleeves and front of his coat and shirt were dripping, trickles of water ran down his light trous- ers, and his shoes were sodden and caked with wet sand. "Oh, that?" He glanced down with some embarrassment. "I got pretty close to the surf-line, and a big one caught me amidships." ♦ • • Christine was not an introspec- tive young person. She was no more capable of analyzing her sud- den lift of spirit than she had been of understanding that her restless- ness and lonliness of the earlier evening had not been entirely due to worrv about Cousin Emma's Season's Special â€" Rhubarb Pan Dowdy Lives there a liomemaker who doesn't enjoy the thrill of concocting iomething "tlifierent". So here's a puddin' â€" especially spring-timed, and easy to make be- sides. It's a delightful combitiation of mouth-watering fresh rhubarb with a crunchy topping of whole bran, designed to do wonders for a dessert course. .'\nd don't overlook the color â€" why sprii\g pink, of course, as delectable as your new spring bonnet.

She only knew now that she felt more at home with this tanned stranger whom she had met barely 24 hours agoâ€" more warmly glad to see himâ€" than she would have felt with any one she had known a lifetime; and that her pleasure in being with hiiii again was as right and natural as the clean sea breeze. "I'm cold, too," he was going on plaintively. "Something hot to eat would feel riglit good at this minute â€" and Decker's is just a comfor- table walk along the Boardwalk. That's the one place in Surf City that doesn't reek with fried pota- toes. . . . And I hate eating alone. Come on. Miss Thorenson," he wheeled with an engaging gri:i, "be a good scout." "I'd like 10. only" â€" Christine laughed lor iht il:A time that day â€" "except that the fellers call you 'Bill,' I don't know your name." "I answer much more docilely to 'Bill,' but if I forgot to mention it, the 'rest of it's Yardley," he told her. Then lie added with someth- ing behind the smile in his eyes that made her catch her breath, "I hope you're going to like it." ♦ ♦ * While they were waiting at the table Bill had found by a window that overlooked the sea, Bill said, "It occurs to me that there's a lot about me besides my name that you don't know. I raise horses for a liv- ingâ€"mighty fine horses. But the market wasn't too good this year; so I took over the riding school here. You see, I've had a handi- cap over you all along. When I heard you say you were Mrs. Tal- bert's cousin. I knew you wouldn't be interested in lifting my w'atch." "If you'd known the whole truth," Christine said wryly, "you'd pro- bably have kept your hand on that ' watch. . . . iS'ot that I'm not Mrs. Talbert's cousin; but there' ve been _ occasions â€" not so long ago â€" when a nice 17-jeweIed watch would hav« made my fingers itch." "Christine," he said abruptly, "something's worrying you. Why not get it out of your system?" "You'll probably laugh," Chris- tine hesitated. "I" hope you will. . . . I've had a feeling all along that I ought to; but somehow my sense of humor doesn't seem to be work- ing this week-end." * * * Yet when she did tell him the whole story of that preposterous day, he did not laugh. Instead, he frowned over his cig- aret, "So Chandra took a hand? . . . That bird cuts a pretty wide swathe. People come here to con- sult liim about everything from the baby's first tooth to the outcome of the presidential election: financiers, successful writers and artists and actors; political bosses, social reg- iiferites. They say he used to be an actor. He's probably part psy- chologist, part mystic, part shrewd business man, and part stage man- ager. I've never heard of his being involved in anything really shady. In fact, if Chandra told me to go home and look under my bed for Barnum's elephant, I'm not sure I wouldn't take a chance." They had left the restaurant, and had strolled back to the Twentieth Century Pier. Suddenly Bill broke off, "Look â€" there's something wrong!" On the Boardwalk just ahead a crowd was milling about, inter- spersed with figures in uniform. Afterwards, Christine remember- ed that everything that happened during the grim hours that follow- ed had much the quality of an un-- real but none the less terrifying dream.
