Smiley acts indifferently because he wants to conceal his true feelings and intentions regarding Dan'l Webster. He may not want to show his hand or give away any information that could jeopardize his plans or strategies. Smiley's Poker face in this situation could be a way to maintain control over the conversation and prevent the stranger from getting any useful insights.
