enough to make a little girl, ever, if she is a movie star, cry. As a result, Jane's father, Walter Withers, is building her a two-story playhouse on the back of the lot. with one room on the top floor to be devoted entirely to her doll collection. By summer the starlet also will be able to boast of a small swimming pool. Within a week, one of Constance Collier's two dachshunds was killed by a car and the other succumbed to an ailment. Etather than buy more fine dogs, she told her maid to go to the pound and save the lives of two muts. Her instructions had the true Collier tang. “There will be lots of dogs scratching at the wire.” she said, “but don’t pick these, don’t pick the hopeful ones. Go to the back and get a pair who have given up all hope of ever getting out." On her first American vacation. Annabella, the French star, will visit the pueblos of New Mexico. As a child, she doted on American western pictures and can hardly wait to see Indians. In the mail comes a belated New Year's card from Mae Clarke and her husband, Stevens Bancroft, in Rio de Janeiro.

SYNOPSIS Jaxie Cameron, lovely young newspaper columnist, travels west aboard the Big Chief, extra-fare train, in search of copy for the Star-Tribune. Tommy Ackerman, Star-Tribune staff photographer, sees her off. his flashlight camera snapping as Jaxie waves farewell from the observation platform. Inside Car 74X, she finds Mose, the porter, installing those who are to be her fellow travelers in the swift trip to the Coast. Jaxie identifies a bride and groom and notices a girl who she later finds is Clarice Cole, ex-waitress, bound for Hollywood. Carrie Dade, a worn young mother with two small children, arouses Jaxie's sympathy. But the most interesting passenger on the train to Miss Cameron is Kirby Elliott, tall and gray-eyed and humorous. As night falls they remain talking on the observation platform. In 74X Mose is pacifying Mrs Sanders, a demanding old woman who shares Section 6 with Elliott, and explaining travel accommodations to Jake Weatherby, gaunt mid-west farmer unused to luxury trains. Jake is to meet “Marthy,” his wife, in Kansas City next morning. An unassuming little man in khaki sits reading. Later, when Carrie Dade’s babies grow fretful, Jaxie provides a drawingroom for the little family. Marie Bortin, the bride, wishes she and 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 upper 6, remembers Jaxie’s brown eyes, etc. Clarice Cole wonders what she will find in Hollywood. She wonders also about the handsome man in number 3 who, all evening, had remained aloof from the others. Jake thinks of the caboose in which he sleeps when taking cattle to the Chicago market. CHAPTER VIII Yet, here he was, riding on a train that acted as if it were trying to run away from itself. It traveled so fast it made him dizzy to look out the window. Jake was genuinely grateful to that colored porter. He had simplified things for him greatly in this bewildering situation. The feller seemed to know just what you didn’t know and wanted to ask, even before you asked it. For instance, the matter of the dressingroom. That was what the porter had called it Jake wondered just what purpose it served, but Mose had indicated that he might go there to prepare for the night, while Mose performed his abracadabra of transforming his seat into a bed. So Jake entered the men’s dressingroom with trepidation, glanced about as he closed the door; and withdrew again with haste, feeling very awkward and apologetic. Mose found him later, on one of his hurried pilgrimages through the corridor. standing patiently outside ; the door. “Did you-al! want sumpin’, suh?” Mose inquired. “No—l’m jist waitin’.” Mose looked puzzled. “Waitin’ foh what?” “For the other man to get through. They’s someone in there ! now.” Mose suppressed a howl of amusement and managed to grin discreetly. “Oh. das al) right. Go right on in an' make yo’se’f comfor’ble. Why! 'tain’t nothin’ foh de dressin’ room to be so crowded dat one man sets his foot into anudder man's pants leg when de train done gib a juick jerk. Go right on in an’ make yo’se’f to home.” Jake nodded meekly and ventured to open the door again. He stared, gulped, and groped confusedly toward the corner where his eyes espied a lavatory not in use. One glance around the room had revealed that which brought the color rising to his weathered brown face, and caused his eyes to avert themselves. A man on one side of the room was brushing his teeth vigor- : ously, clad only in thin silk shorts. Another's pajama coat hung open I across his shoulders while he donned his trousers. A third one brushed his hair industriously, his dressing gown flapping open like a full sail . with the rapid movements of his

raised arms and the swaying of the train. The corpulent drummer balanced precariously upon one foot in the act of disrobing. More silk shorts were presently in evidence. Jake felt the shock of alternating hot and cold chills up and down his spine. Had these men no sense of decency, whatever? Never had he witnessed such brazen immodesty. He opened his mouth to remove his false teeth, coughed, choked, and experienced a moment of panic. His hand trembled. With his back turned to the room, he imagined that every one of the four pairs of eyes were focused upon him and every one of the four pairs of hands were arrested in their activity, waiting to see what he would do. He had to brace up, get his teeth out, brush them and escape from this horrible place. During his mental soliloquy, Jake had managed to brush his teeth and slip them into his coat pocket. To further delay the necessity of turning around, he pulled a paper drinking cup out of the rack nearby, filled it and swallowed the contents in one convulsive gulp. Meanwhile, his thoughts rambled on to the relieved conclusion that he couldn’t undress in this room if he wanted to. He had no dressing-gown—or whatever it was they called the goshdarned things these men all had. Never had one in his life—didn’t expect to, what was more. Well, he couldn’t disrobe and walk the length of this car in the gray flannels with the round white patches on the knees, coy Id he? So, gazing neither to the right nor to the left, he escaped from the room. A nauseating giddiness swept over him as he stumbled weakly the length of the car and felt the welcome relief of the parting curtains of lower 2. Almost, this strange, new-fangled bed seemed like home to him. At least it was private; it was his own for this journey. Sitting on the edge of the berth behind the curtain, he slipped off his shoes and kicked them underneath; then he swung around and in a sitting posture, removed his trousers; he unfastened his collar and placed it in the funny net hammock—Mose having called his attention to that receptacle for small articles; then he carefully removed the roll of paper money from his pocket and tucked it securely under his pillow, reached up and snapped off the light and crept in between the smooth sheets with a vast sigh of relief. That ordeal was ended. And in the morning, he would meet Marthy. when perhaps everything would be better. That he was traveling at ten-dollars-extra-speed, he did not know. Likewise, the Misses Y'ates and Colbin would have lost half the joy of their vacation spirit, had they been aware that each had paid ten dollars extra to ride six hours faster. As a matter of fact, a local would have been quite as satisfactory to them. They were out to stop places and see things, anyway. But in their fluster of preparation and mounting anticipation, they had made reservations on an extra-fare train without being aware of it. Os course, the woman in lower 6, whom Mose had termed his Jonah, always traveled on the best trains and steamships. At best the service was poor enough, in her estimation. The salesman who had obliged Mose’s scruples by changing his berth, was investing ten extra dollars to obtain a contract that involved a small fortune. Jaxie Cameron was riding the . Big Chief for the same reason that one eats oyster dressing and cran- [ berries with turkey on Thanksgiving Day. She didn’t want to miss a • thing. Besides, she represented the , Friendly Corner column and had to , collect all the thrills she could for it. Her “swindle sheet”—in the jar- . gon of editorial rooms—would stand for it. Which leaves them all accounted i for except the queer little woman in • lower 10, prematurely gray and . wrinkled, who retired into the sari thest corner of her section like a I clam draws into its shell at the apI proach of intruders. She required ; little service and demanded no atI tention, which helped to balance the i sum total of Mose’s varied duties.

Car 74X was only one of ten that formed the long train, and each car was filled almost to capacity. Only part of the uppers and a few drawingrooms were vacant But there were just two other individuals whose presence on the Big Chief were destined to influence directly the lives and fortunes of the passengers in 74X. One of these was the occupant of drawingroom A in the observation —no less a personage than the inimitable Yola Rene 6, the world's most adored idol of the silver screen. She traveled incognito, wore severely tailored clothes ana seldom left her room to mingle with that small portion of her worshiping public which traveled with her unawares. Her maid ordered her meals served in her room and Yola came out only when the train , stopped at long intervals, to stroll up and down the station platforms , apart from her fellow passengersIf anyone recognized in the flesh thexquisite beauty that so thrilled millions from the screen, no one veni tured to suggest her identity. Least of all did Clarice, in the next car, realize that the girl whom she had . idolized and imitated for two faith- " ful years followed just behind her as they speeded over the miles toward that mecca of beauty and genius, wealth and art, on the west coast. But it was just as well that , she did not know, for she might have made some unpardonable faux pat t that would have cost her later a , valuable ally, at a time when sh» needed one gravely. The other important personage on ' the Big Chief was none other than Joe Worley, whose hand on the ’ throttle in the engine cab held the destinies of more than a hundred souls for more than ten hours. Perhaps no one of them gave him a J passing thought; but Joe Worley never dismissed them from hit mind while he remained on duty. He would be relieved on the following ' day, to return to Chicago that night with the east-bound Big Chief; but he had known for many years that when lives were given into a man’s , keeping, that man had to meet the , responsibility one hundred per cent Guiding a limited train was not a ’ job you could do half-heartedly. You , gave your whole mind and soul and ( body to the task, even when al! three of them ached to be somewhere else. ; That place, tonight, was back in ’ Chicago at Kate’s bedside, holding her hands that were clenched with ; pain, stroking her cheek at intervals for reassurance. Tonight he had been obliged to leave her to meet this ordeal alone—the fourth ’ of its kind. Joe was the proud father of three red-headed girls—but he wanted a son. A son with ’ dark hair and deep dark eyes that , trusted you, like Kate's. His anxiety ( for her might have caused his large. ‘ capable hands to falter at his duty, his grief for Kate's suffering might have dimmed his keen blue eyes, his cool courage might have weakened at the thought of what might be the i message that would greet him at I Kansas City in the morning. i But he knew that if his crew and passengers were neglected for one instant he would have no right to claim good news at dawn. So his i hand was steady, his eye alert and , his heart courageous, while his conscious mind remembered the lives I that followed his guidance with con- . fidence and his subconscious mind prayed for the lives of his wife and unborn child, compared with whom a hundred others were nothing to ; him. • The women’s dressingroom of car 74X at seven o’clock on the following morning was a riotous confusion 1 of feminine apparel, cosmetics and ! women in their respective stages of J dishabille. The Misses Yates and Colbin occupied the dressing-table ' seats, brushing thin gray locks 1 vigorously as the health books advised. Their furtive glances disap--1 proved the frivolous lingerie of the i new bride, the embryo movie star’s i gaudy dressing-gown, the eolumn- ■ ist’s single, all-purpose undergar- ‘ ment and the meek little woman’s - aloofness. They were neither frivoi lous nor gaudy, immodest nor meek. (To bo continued) Copyright. Ednt Bobb Wobtter , OitlrlbuUd tn Klm VMlurM Srodlcoto. laa
