W. 7 ADELAIDE W. -- TORONTO 1 10c • SERIAL STORY Murder on the Boardwalk BY ELINORE COWAN STONE Last Week: Jaspar escapes from the police and the others are allowed to go home. Bill tells Christine he saw Wilmet near the studio at 9.0, at Jaspar was trail ing her. She realizes the inspector was certain she knew Jaspar. CHAPTER X "Then,": Christine said slowly, "if you're right, Bill -- if he is skulking in the dark somewhere -- and if he does kill some one else, I'll be -- well, a sort of accomplice, won't I -- because I didn't tell the police who he was and have them lock him up?" "Nonsense! Not telling all you know doesn't constitute you a criminal. If it did, most of us would spend a lot of time behind bars." But in spite of Bill's light words, his voice was tense with worry. A newsboy came along the Boardwalk shrilling, "Wuxtry! Read all about it! Moider on the Boidwalk! Wuxtry! Wuxtry!" Bill bought a copy. "Here's a good light," he said; and they stopped to read. Most of the first two pages were devoted to the sensational murder of the wealthy and exclusive widow, Mrs. Emma Talbert. At one of the items Christine stared with blanching cheeks. "You said awhile ago," she faltered at last, "that not telling all I knew didn't make me a criminal... What would this make "An unknown person," the item read, "has mailed to this office a document purporting to be the will of Mrs. Emma Talbert.

"It couldn't make you anything but what you are," Bill tried to say reassuringly, "sweet and good and honest." A good deal of space was given up to the mysterious beach-comber who was at large after having been arrested in connection with the case. The rumors were (l) that he Drld :ha- racter; (2) that he chist who hated the rich; (3) that he was a homicidal maniac. A great deal of significance was attached to the footprints leading from the rowboat toward the booth where the body was found, one pair of which, police were reported to have said, had been identified as Mrs. Talbert's. One item told of a strange seagoing launch which the Coast Guard lights had picked out, apparently drifting at anchor a mile or so off shore, directly opposite the booth where the tragedy had occurred. According to the newspaper, a detail from the Coast Guard had motored out and boarded it, only to find it abandoned. A last-minute story told of the finding of the murdered woman's car, and the discovery in it of a hypodermic needle and a quantity of a powerful drug. "So the inspector's key did open the ' Chris : said. "Key?" echoed Bill, who was lrowning over the item. In a moment he added, "Oh, those boys use can openers"; but his voice sounded flat and strained. Aside from the space given Jaspar, Bill and Christine received the lion's share of publicity. Bill came off with flying colors. The impression conveyed was that he had pursued the killer along the beach in an heroic attempt to prevent the But Christine was horrified to find herself played up in lurid colors as the "Boardwalk Mvstery Girl"... "WHY." one headline screamed, "WAS THE COUSIN OF THE WEALTHY MRS. BERT ,VI. ON THE BOAI DER AN ASSUMED NAME?" There was a gruesome description of the finding of the body, graphically contrasting Mrs. Talbert's rigidly cloistered life at exclusive Beachmont with the tawdry setting of her violent death. Over that, Christine shed her first tears.- "Oh, Bill," she choked, her voice breaking at the stark pathos of- it, "all these years she hasn't had any one but me, and I -- I never really tried to be nice to her... And now I haven't anv one either." Bill to ( : of benches that lined the Boardwalk and gathered her gently into his arms as if she had been a very little girl, and she sobbed against his shoulder until gradually she found relief. Presently, he said, close to her ear, "You've got me, Christine. You'll always have me -- if you want me ... I didn't mean to tell you -- not for months -- because I didn't dare think you'd believe me... I hardly believed myself that it could happen all at dnce A Vote For Variety Are you a one-way cook?

Because she had been so ■ sure from the beginning that Bil] was safe and wholesome as the fresh sea air and sunshine; and because she realized all of a sudden that-this was what she had really wanted from the beginning, too, Christine did believe him, and clung to him world suddenly gone insane. SHOOTING STAR Lieut. Wayne Morris, former motion picture star, walks across Pacific Fleet carrier deck to ready room upon returning from his third mission of the day against Japs. Lieutenant Morns, who flies a Navy "Hellcat" fighter, was in recent Marcus and Wake Island raids. And because this was Surf City, concerned first and only with its own interests, its own amusement, its own desires, the Boardwalk crowd eddied and passed without a backward glance. At length Christine sat up, protecting between tears and laughter, "Bill -- all these people! I couldn't have believed" I'd ever do a thing like this." And Bill said, a little unsteadily himself, "So far as they're concerned, we're not even here.. . Anything could happen to any one on this Boardwalk, and no one else would even notice." Later, in the crisis that rushed upon them with such cruel inevitability, Christine was to remember "I'wUri to God I didn't'have to leave you alone," he said, his voice hoarse with trouble. "Promise me that you'll be careful, Christine -- if you have any idea what the Once in her own room, Christine set systematically about the examination of her belongings.

There was nothing to indicate whose they were: and Christine, did not look through the bundle to find out how many there were. After the first frightened look, she dropped them as if they burned her fingers and sat staring, her shaking hands tight at her throat.

The chief purpose of this feeding is to maintain baby's normal growth while we endeavour to bring up the mother's supply. We must first ascertain the daily allowance of food necessary for baby's age and weight. Having discovered what baby needs for one day, we proceed to find out what he actually gets in a day. The method of test weighing is as follows:-- Weigh baby in his clothes before and after each nursing and make up with the artificial feeding what he should have for his age and weight. When test weighing baby you will find that he docs not obtain an equal amount of milk at each nursing. Usually he obtains larger feedings in the morning and It is important not to over You Will Enjoy Staying At The ST.
