jpEXTRA FARE 3S

"SYNOPSIS Jaxie Cameron, fair young news paper columnist, travels wesi aboard the Big Chief, extra-fart train, in search of copy for the Star. Tribune. Tommy Ackerman, stall photographer, sees her off, taking i flashlight picture ai Jaxie wavet farewell from the observation platform. Inside Car 74X, Mose, the porter, hat installed those who arc to be fellow travelers in the swift trip to the Coast. Jaxie identifiei a bride and groom and notices a beautiful girl who is probably on her way to Hollywood. Carrie Dade, ■ tired looking mother with two small children, awakens Jaxie's sympathy She meets Kirby Elliott . . tall, gray-eyed, and humorous. Mose, the porter, pacifies Mrs. Sanders, a demanding old woman who shares Section 6 with Elliott, and explains some travel details to Jake Weatherby, gaunt mid-west-ern farmer unused to luxury trains. An unassuming little man in khaki sits reading. When the Dade babies grow fretful, Jaxie provides a drawingroom for their comfort. Marie Bortin, the bride, wishes she •nd Husband Harry had taken one also. Finally all the passengers are settled for the night, but not all of them to sleep. ... Kirby Elliott, in his upper berth, remembers Jaxie’s brown eyes, etc. And Clares Cole, recently a waitress in a Chicago restaurant, wonders what she will find in Hollywood. CHAPTER VII Here she was: smart clothes that the salesgirl had declared to be copies of exclusive Paris models, shining new patent-leather bag and dressing case monogrammed in goldleaf, lower berth in the car next to the observation car, on an extrafare train, and bound for Hollywood. Clarice’s first plan had involved a drawingroom, but a latent spark of caution restrained her; so she took an extra-fare train instead, persisted until she obtained a lower berth in the car next to the observation, and let it go at that. AU the :inema stars crossed the continent on extra-fare trains; she would consider nothing less. Besides, only the belt people traveled on such trains and this would provide her an added opportunity to meet and mingle with the right people. Furthermore, she was on a hunting trip, so it was just as well not to conceal herself in v private room. That would come .ater, when she was the one sought by others, and not the seeker. Her confidence had received a severe jolt when she first had entered I the car and looked covertly at her traveling companion across the aisle. Mmost she had exclaimed aloud in her consternation. “Khaki ! bags and tools and a little old whiskered man. Well, qhetAs good, that is! Just imagine paying ten dollars to sit across the aisle from tliat!” She made a ritual of preparing for the night, making no less than a dozen trips to and from the dressingroom. Her next regret was that she had not known which end of the car would be reserved for women. i Much of the effect of her scarlet satin pajamas and maribouj trimmed robe were lost in her eud- | den vanishing into the dim corridor; whereas, a hurried, swaying passage through the length of the car might have attracted profitable attention. Still, even the dim corridor held its possibilities for chance encounters with people passing through to the club car. Also, her waning enthusiasm for extra-fare trains had climbed again with the last-minute arrival of the occupant of lower 3. who adjusted himself and his possessions with the detached air of the habitual traveler His alert gray eyes appraised the other occupants of the car with • casual glance hesitated and lighted momentarily as they met Clarice’r blue and interested ones; and then he became occupied with the* inspection of various papers which he took from the inner pocket of his correct tweed coat. Clarice noted the slim well-groomed hands which obviously never had toiled; the sleek black hair that testified to I

| in number 3, upon whom Clarice’s 1 interest had focused, he remained aloof from his fellow passengers, absorbed in his own affairs, which apparently were of considerable imI portance. His reasons for traveling extra fare were as enigmatic as i himself and no one of his companI ions could have ventured a guess and wop, with the possible exception of the debonair young man whose six-foot length was folded iflfb upper 6. Neither was Kirby Elliott broadcasting his reasons for paying extra fare for an upper berth on a crowded train, to save six hours of time. He was just making the best of it and being very genial about it. But if Jake Weatherby, in the lower berth next, had known that he was paying ten dollars more to ride on the Big Chief than it would have I cost him on ths Gold Coast or the •Suiwtt Special, his dreams would have resolved into nightmares. A shrewd agent in the Chicago office, to whom Jake had appealed for assistance in planning this adventure, had advocated the best accommodations so that he and his wife might travel in the utmost comfort; and Jake had acquiesced meekly, paid the total reckoning and departed with a sigh of profound relief. The confusion of time tables, trains that were designated by alluring names and the system of allocating reservations so that everyone belonged where he should be, Jake happily left to the glip young agent who appeared to know all about it. His previous • experience ns a traveler had been limited to his annual trips to Chicago with a carload of stock. And what a vast difference between those trips and this one I A group of his neighbors usually traveled with him, each of them having 'la carload of stock on the freight

bickering with buyers, weighing stock. Jake always had taken the first train back home after he had disposed of the stock and had the roll of cash in his pocket. He had been in Chicago at least a dozen times in his life, but his knowledge of the city was confined strictly to the stockyards and the railroad station. He had no use for cities with their j evil contraptions—which he did not trust for a minute—with their odors and crimes and temptations. He could not return too quickly to the vast expanses and clean beauty of his rolling acres where he was monarch of all he surveyed. With the roll of money which would amount to a fortune to many people tucked carefully into his trousers pocket and secured there with a good stout safety pin which Martha had cautiously provided, he returned home in the red-plush-seated day coach of a local train, to ‘ him a palace of luxury compared with the freight caboose. Why, he could drop the back of one of those funny seats by the turn of a lever and recline on its cushioned length, his hat tilted over his face to shade his eyes, and sleep almost as comfortably as if he were at home. Os course, it was smoky and noisy, but it took only ten hours to get home. That kind of travel was good enough for him, or for anyone. But the agent in the Chicago office had assured him that there were no such convenient chair cars on the trains to the coast, and that he had to sleep in a bed. All tom-foolery, to his way of thinkin’. Three nights steepin' in a plush chair was a snap compared with a week on a caboose, wasn’t it? (To be continued) Copyright.
