SYNOPSIS Jaxie Cameron, lovely young newspaper solumnist, travels west aboard the Big Chief, extra-fare train, in search of copy for “The Friendly Corner.” Tommy Ackerman, staff photographer for the Star-Tribune, sees her off, taking a flashlight photograph for the next morning's edition as Jaxie waves farewell from the observation platform. She meets Carrie Dade and the latter's two children. As Jaxie stands near the rail of the observation car, she almost loses her balance when the train rounds a curve, but Kirby Elliott-tall, gray-eyed and humorous-grasps her arm as she sways precariously. Introductions and the discovery of mutual interests follow. Inside the car, Mose, the porter.triestopacify Mrs. Sanders, a demanding elderly woman who shares Section 6 with Elliott. Jake Weatherby, gaunt midwestern farmer unused to luxury trains, looks for “the bed for the extry money” which the agent had promised him. An unassuming little man in khaki sits reading among his duffle bags, which contain heavy tools. Marie Bortin, a bride, tells her overbearing and penurious groom that they should have taken a drawing room. CHAPTER V Harry Bortin was that dominating male of the species who offsets his inferiority in the world of affairs by being the head man at home and tolerating no illusions about it It was high time to show Marie who was boss in this family, here and now. There had been enough of letting her have her way about spending her father’s allowance on a church wedding and the elaborate trousseau on which she had set her heart. Her uncle’s gift of a honeymoon Harry would have preferred to invest more practically in house furnishings, but Marie was intent upon the trip to California which Uncle Jerry had suggested, to visit other of her relatives and to display her Harry Woman still likes to flaunt her power to lead a man to the altar regardless of who or what the man may be. It is exhibit number one for the evidence of her supremacy in the primal contest of feminine rivalry. Marie had gone with Harry to the ticket office when he made the reservations for the trip. The agent’s experienced glance had filed them at once as prospective bride and groom. There was no mistaking the girl’s eager, possessive hand on the man’s arm and the way her eyes adored his plain stodginess; while he was vague and ill-at-ease. “Drawingroom?” he had inquired crisply, but it was more like a corroborative suggestion. Harry flushed and stammered, “No—oh, no—a lower will do.” His thrifty caution visoned with panic Uncle Jerry’s honeymoon gift melting like snow in a blast furnace. The agent scribbled nonchalantly upon a strip of pink cardboard and called some numbers into the transmitter of a telephone It was immaterial to him whether or not a bride and groom preferred a lower berth or an extra-fare train or a drawingroom on a regular limited. What was the big idea, anyway, saving six hours? He smiled with inward amusement and jetted down the car and section numbers as they came ever the wire. "May I hold the baby for you while you get the little boy ready for bed?” Jaxie’s voice inquired above the din of the rumbling train and the baby’s howls. Carrie Dade’s troubled eyes looked □p into the girl’s shining ones, and she smiled wanly. “That’s awfully kind of you, but she isn’t very good about going to strangers. I don’t know what’s the matter with her, she’s always so good at home.” apologetically. “Os course, she is. But she’s all tired out, precious darling, and so are you. Let me try—perhaps she will come to me. Babies always do.” The mother consented with reluctance. Jaxie took the squirming, kicking little body into her arms and

held it quietly and competently. The cries ceased suddenly and round tear-glistening eyes inspected the stranger. Jaxie smiled encouragement. The flushed little face relaxed into a cherubic smile and became alert to this new friend whose arms were so gentle and eyes so bright. Jaxie turned a triumphant smile upon Mrs. Dade. “Isn’t she the darling?” “I’m surprised. She never will go to strangers." “Oh, we’re good friends, already; aren’t we, Adorable? You run along now with that sleepy little boy, and baby and I will sit in my section while the porter makes up your berth. I’m Miss Cameron, of the

Star-Tribune. You needn't worry about baby and me." Carrie Dade stared and gasped. “Not the Jaxie Cameron —who writes ‘Our Friendly Corner’?” “The very same,” laughed the girl. “Why—l’m pleased to meet you. Miss Cameron,” the woman offered timidly. “I’m Mrs. Dade, and this is Junior and you are holding Patsy.” “I like you all,” Jaxie declared. “But I am afraid you are going to have a pretty difficult journey with these two, alone.” Mrs. Dade smiled wanly. “Yes,” she admitted, “but that isn’t the worst of it. if I were going on a pleasure trip, it would be quite different. You see—n>y mother —well, they think she is dying.” "Oh, I’m so sorry.” Jaxie was all concern. “She lives in Los Angeles?” “No. She and my father went there this spring, after they had saved and planned all their lives for the trip. They had been there only a month when mother was taken ill, and she’s been getting worse right along. Now she has asked for tne and father wired me yesterday to come as fast as I could. That is why I am paying extra fare—to try to get there before . . .” her voice faltered. Jaxie looked away and amused the baby. “But I can’t impose on your kindness, Miss Cameron,” Carrie objected presently. “Are you afraid to trust your baby with me?” she smiled gently. “Oh, no—of course, it’s not that!” “Then run along and do as I tell you before Patsy decides I’m not a good nurse, after all,” she urged. Carrie obeyed, and trotted Junior down the aisle by the hand to the dressingroom, comforted by the 1 younger woman's kindness.

Jaxie nestled the soft, warm little body close and stared thoughtfully out the window at the flying darkness which was pierced at intervals with pricks of light The woman should have a room alone, she pondered. Probably couldn’t afford it, having paid the extra fare which she hoped would purchase time for her to win against Death. No sooner had the thought touched Jaxie’s mind than she reached over and touched the bell for the porter. Mose appeared forthwith. There followed a hasty consultation, grins and smiles, nods and an exchange of folded banknotes. The baby closed its eyes and slept warmly against

the girl’s soft breast. Mose bustled away and entered drawingroom A, at the end of the car, with an armful of fresh linen. When Mrs. Dade reappeared with the pajamaed Junior in tow and clad hastily in her own dressinggown, Jaxie met her frightened glance at the emptiness of section 7 with, “I hope you won’t resent my interest in your comfort, Mrs. Dade. You see, I happened to notice that drawingroom A was not occupied, so I had the porter move your things in and make up the berth there for you. I thought you and the children v?otild be so much more comfortable.” “But—Miss Cameron—l can’t afford . . .” “You don’t understand, perhaps, Mrs. Dade. After a train starts and the space is not all reserved, you can get better accommodations for practically nothing. Won’t you please accept that little from me—f6r Patsy?” Carrie’s appreciation was pathetic. “Why—Miss Cameron—how can I ever thank you?” “Don’t,” advised Jaxie. “Just take the babies in there where the air is better and you won’t have to worry about their disturbing anyone else, and get a good rest Your mother will need you to be rested when you arrive in Los Angeles, I'm sure.” “You are so kind ...” taking tha sleeping baby. “I do hope you rest well, too.” “Oh, I shall,” Jaxie promised. “Nothing ever keeps me awake. Goodnight Junior,” stroking the tired, bewildered youngster’s hair. “Be a good boy and sleep tight, and we’ll see a lot of beautiful things in the morning. Good night, Mrs. Dade.” (To be continued) Copyright. Edna Rabb Wobator. by Klai Eaaturaa Ryodicate. Im
