Yesterday: When. Christine arrives in Surf City to visit her Cousin Emma, there is no one to meet her. Christine her cousin’s home, is told service has been discontinued. The telephone operator adds, mysteriously, “If there's any trouble, you're to call Main 2079.” N

CHAPTER TWO “Y WAS to tell you to get a room at the Crestview, and—"| Abruptly the dgitated voice at the |: other end of the line broke off.

“Oh, the Crestview, I suppose,” Christine sdid casually. \ “The Crestview, hm?” He looked at her” with new inferest. “Well, there’s nothing like camping on the battlefield if you have Amalgamated shares to vote tomorrow.” “Battlefield?” Christine echoed. “I hear there's likely to be a right gory little war over that merger between Amalgamated and National at the stockholders’ meeting. . . .
