along the Boardwalk. It was sev-

walk, and you went down to it
by a ramp at one side. The “stu-
dio” was frugally furnished with
an easel, a camp stool, and at the
rear, on the beach side, with a
bench some eight feet long, hav-
ing a slab of concrete for. a top.
The place had apparently taken
a beating from dampness and
frost, for the walls were cracked
and crumbling; and someone had
recently mended the top of the
bench and the floor about it with
fresh cement, into which Chris-
tine’s heel sank and stuck.
Mr. Wilmet, coming to her res-
cue, was nervously apologetic:
“I’m so sorry, Miss Thorenson. I
had to do some repairing.”
Christine got out her sketching
materials and prayed for a chance
to use them.
When, after 15 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 Bahawai-
pur—or whatever his name is?”

DURBAN, South Africa (UP) —
In their eagerness to carry out er-

concerning importation of inde-
cent literature, every item on
every consignment note is care-
fully scrutinized by the Durban
customs officials.
Recently, a local firm of book-
sellers received a consignment of
new books from overseas, but de-
livery v. as held up for several days
for one particular book to be in-
vestigated.
Its title was: “Rape of Africa.”
Officials released the consign-
ment when they found that the
book was herely a treatise on the
effects of soil erosion in Africa. •

concession.
CHAPTER III
CHRISTINE hurried back to the
hotel to assemble her sketch-
ing materials. She was to meet
her new employer by the Twen-
tieth Century Pier. . . . The new
employer’s name, she had learned,
was Wilmet—George Wilmet.
When it had come to giving
her own name, Christine had hesi-
tated with an unprecedented reti-
cence. Then, almost as if someone
else had spoken, she heard her-
self blurting out, “Nevin—Grace
ishingly deep and resonant, “It is
good. I will take. it.”..........................
When Christine passed the
sketch to him over the railing, he
slipped a bill into her hand and
turned away.
“Wait!” 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 did prove to be good adver-
tising. Soon Christine was busy.
For a while Mr. Wilmet hovered
on the outskirts of the booth; but
eventually he melted away into
the crowd, and Christine did not
see him again that day.
He had been surprisingly gen-
erous about her commission. Al-
though she had worked only a
little over a half day, it would be
almost $4.
She must, however, look for
cheaper quarters. She found a
room on a side street, and having
already committed herself as
“Grace Nevin," she registered un-
der that name, and hurried back
to the Crestview to retrieve her
belongings, and see if Cousin
Emma had not sent some message.
But there was no message.
Christine went upstairs, puzzled
and uneasy. She told herself that
it was this uneasiness which ac-
counted for her strange feeling

YAKIMA, Wash. (UP).—Rich-

Mildrde Tate of Victoria, B. C.,
were married in the Canadian
city after a courtship of three
years over their short wave radio
sets.
The couple first talked to each
other on the air three years ago.
They continued their conversa-
tions from time to time and then
regularly, and became engaged
when they met.
A number of other "hams” on
the west coast bent ears to the
courtship, much to the couple’s
embarrassment when they found
it out through receipt of con-
gratulatory letters about their
engagement was announced.

Emma Talbert had been there.”
. . . “She's been fighting this
merger tooth and nil--and. she
owned enough shares to lick it
single-handed. Why in God’s
name do you suppose she didn't
come?”
Once established in her new
lodgings, Christine’s restlessness
made the indoors unendurable.
Going down to the street, she
turned without conscious volition
toward the brilliant lights of the
Boardwalk, climbed the stairway
that led from the street, and came
out near the Twentieth Century
Pier. The blare of. a band and
the shrieks of the crowd told her
the shows must be in full swing.
A little forlornly she stepped down
into her own booth, next door, to
listen to the band.
The booth was in almost total
darkness; but a gleam of white
caught Christine’s attention. It
proved to be a sheet of paper,
fastened to her easel. Carrying it
to the lighted Boardwalk, she
read:
“If you are worried—if you are
unhappy—consult Chandra. Free
public readings at the Temple of
Truth every evening at 10.”

When Christine made an inven-

were all in their places; yet her
uneasiness persisted.

majestically folded, gazing with
brooding brows out to sea.
Already Christine was at work;
•nd almost immediately a ourious
crowd began to gather along the
railing of the Boardwalk above.
As she sketched, she heard
someone say, “She’s drawing
Chandra—you know—that Indian
swami over there.”
As if he had heard, the gor-
geous Oriental turned, fixed his
eyes upon Christine, and detached
himself from his pillar. Although
he was not a tall man, there was
in his 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
lurking yellow lights.
At length the “swami” extended
hand and said in a voice aston-
