CHAPTER XVI

"I’d like to pay you whatever this room eost extra,” Mrs. Dade was anxiously vague. "Please forget it I It was nothing, really," Jaxie reassured her, amusing the baby. Junior came to lean against her knee, enviously drawing her attention from his sister. “I dot a ice eweam cone,” he boasted.” "a pink one.” Between replies to Junior and amusing the baby, the women talked. “Have you heard from your mother?” Jaxie inquired. “No.” Carrie wondered how she might have been expected to hear from her mother on a speeding train. “It has been a long day for me, wondering. It’s a good thing I have the children to think about, I guess.” Jaxie reflected on the difference between this stoic little mother on her sad journey and the unencumbered Mrs. Sanders, who recognized no blessings, obvious or disguised. "Os course, the children do help. And if your mother is improved when you arrive she will be so happy to see them, too.” Mrs. Dade sighed. “I don’t hope forthat. Dad never would have sent for me if he had believed she would get better. He knew I couldn’t afford to make this trip and he couldn’t help me much.* They have had so much extra expense themselves, with mother being ill, that he is real worried. They worked and planned all their lives for this trip and then Dad made a little extra on some stock he sold just at the right minute, ao I persuaded them not to postpone the vacation any longer. They were so happy when they left—it can’t seem right that they couldn’t enjoy being out west for awhile.” Jaxie was sympathetic. “So when Dad sent for me,” the zonfidence was resumed, “I knew he touldn’t have much hope for her. Ed —that’s my husband—has been saving every dollar we could spare to jo into the trucking business, but soon’s he found I wanted to go, he made me take the money—even the extra fare—so I could save time.” Her eyes and voice were misty with ’.he memory of Ed’s kindness; and laxie was silent with the thought that Kirby would be like that, too, generous and understanding. Later, she went into the dressing room to cold-cream the soot and dust from her face and brush her hair to a smooth sheen. She was again sitting alone in her section when Mose stopped beside her to remark with a grin, "Ah see yoh neighboh decided to make friends wid yoh-all.” “Yes,” laughed Jaxie, “she couldn't make anyone else miserable by being grouchy, so she changed her mind. I notice you are very patient with her whims.” Mose grinned again and said, ’Yes, ma’am, it takes a lot ob Christian spirit to do it sometimes, but ah allays treats ’em de bes' ah kin, cranky or not. Trouble of ’tis, you can’t please a erank lak dat, nohow. Yoh kin teah yoh brain to pieces iryin’ to think ob ways to please ’em, •»ut dey allays wants and needs de

things yoh don* think ob. But two wrongs don’ make nothin’ right. An’ sometimes it turns out bettah to be nice to dem.” “I shouldn’t be surprised. And is your patience sometimes rewarded?” Jaxie asked. “Yes, ma’am, ’tis. Jes’ las* week I had a lady ’bout lak dis heah one dat I actually made her ashamed ob he'se’f, bein' nice to her—she was dat onnery.” “What makes you think she was ashamed?” “Why, she done gib me de biggest tip ob eny passenger I had,” he exclaimed, as if the evidence were indisputable. Kirby appeared just then, and Mose retired obligingly. He had witnessed romances bud and bloom, also, during his years on trains. This particular one looked promising. “Well, who won the bridge game?” Kirby inquired. "One guess,” offered Jaxie. "I don’t need four. Mrs. Grouch, of course. Imagine she’s as good at bridge as she is at making other people miserable?” “Tut, tut—you might be a grouchy old man some day, yourself,” Jaxie warned him with a giggle. “Do you think so?” he demanded. “No, I don’t!” Jaxie smiled. Her head was thrown back against the seat and her eyes looked at him through the fringe of her halfclosed eyelids. His hand reached out involuntarily toward her, but he drew it back quickly and thrust it into his pocket, as if to discipline it With a sudden deep breath he said hastily, “How about sitting on the platform for awhile before dinner? I don’t think there will be no many out there, now. Almost everyone seems to be resting.” “You know I like being on the platform, don’t you?” “So do I—with you," ho said softly, as she stepped into the aisle and preceded him to the rear of the car. As Kirby had surmised, the platform was deserted. It was very warm, and the swift passage of the train across the prairies stirred the air into moving heat waves. As far as eye could see only parched grass and barren roeks stretched toward the rim of the blue sky. Not a human being was in sight and only at long intervals a small house or a rambling shack broke the monotony of the dreary landscape. Heat simmered from the undulating rails, slipping away like endless shimmering lengths of ribbon unwinding from a magician’s swift-moving hand. “I had no idea this part of the mid-west was so desolate. How do people live in such country ?” Jaxie marveled. “You ask them and they will tell you they wouldn't live in Chicago or any other city if you gave it to them — delinquent taxes, government debts and all. They wonder how we manage to breathe, even, in cities. They pity us.” “But doesn’t it almost terrify you to realize how big the world is, when you begin to travel around it ?

North China and announced that the greatest counter-attack of the war would be started by Generalissimo Chiang Kat Shck. Fighting was on all North China fronts, with Shantung the center of activities. Mosquito Swatters Alameda, Cal. — (U.R) — This city has reduced mosquito abatement to a fine art. If one bits you in your home just call up the proper department and officers will arrive to find where he came from and wipe out his whole clan. Women Golfers Shame Men Sydney.—(U.R> -Australian women golfers are far outdoing the men—unless it happens to be just luck instead of skill. During one afternoon’s competition at the Manly Gold club women players scored two holes-ht-one.

Twenty-five thousand miles do not sound such a distance, but today the earth’s immensity awes me. Look how we are speeding over these rails—so fast that the railroad ties just melt away into space and blur your vision. The wheels click over the rail joinings as fast as a watch ticks—hour after hour —for days—and we've gone only such a little distance on the map." “A eouple of inches,” Kirby nodded. “And think of the courage of those first pioneers who traveled these desolate miles, so slowly and arduously, surrounded by unknown dangers and suffering untold hardships, just to explore new country with the hope of finding something better in life and fortune.” “Plenty of them paid for it with their lives, too.” "And yet how many of the thousands of people who traverse these miles now in comfort and luxury give a thought to those who made possible such a paradise as California is today ?” “Maybe one in ten thousand, like you. The rest are too busy noticing the discomforts of train travel and relating their private misfortunes to anyone who will listen." “They’d do better to gaze out the windows and take a lesson from these forlorn houses that appear in the distance once in a while. Look at that one, for instance,”eshe exclaimed, as the train passed a roadside shanty whose tenants probably were railroad employes. Beside tha shack grew a row of jaunty hollyhocks. Isn’t that sheer audacity fcr you — those bright flowers flaunting their beauty in this dreary waste? If only people were as eager to spread cheer around them! I can’t understand why there isn’t more happiness everywhere.” "There is more, everywhere you go.” His face was very close to hers, and the way his eyes searched hers startled her. The door opened behind them and Mose thrust his head out “Beg pahdon, suh, but a gentleman inside wants to speak wid yoh-all a minute." Kirby rose quickly and thanked him. To Jaxie he said, “If you will pardon me, please. Do you want to stay here until I return?” “Yes—l’ll see you later, if you don't come back. I’ll have to get dressed for dinner.” "You are having dinner with me, you know.” She hesitated. "Will you let me pay my own check, then?” “Os course not.” “Then I shall dine alone. I’m not tn the habit of allowing someone to buy all my meals. And I—don’t know you — very well, yet, Mr. Elliott." "Don't you ?” he challenged. "You prefer dining alone, then?” “Oh, no, I’d much rather have your company,” she admitted hastily. “Very well, you are having dinner with me.” (To be continued) Copyrltht. Edna Robb Wabrtcr.
