CHAPTER XXI Miss Proctor continued, “Beware of an enemy who is near you, and a jealous woman who will seek to harm you with scandal. Here is a message from a sweetheart, soon, and a sum of money is sent to you, for sure—quite a large sum." “It had better be. I expect my expense money when I reach Loa Angeles," Jaxie laughed. “A rather light man la very deeply interested in you—not a blond man. I think he has red hair, perhaps-—" “Tommy again." “I say, can’t you shuffle Tommy out of there and find a man with — well, black hair and blue eyes?” I Kirby demanded. "He u here, but there is trouble with him, also.” Jaxie looked up anxiously to meet Kirby’s glance. He sobered. “Oh, look for another one like that with lots of happiness around him.” “Miss Cameron faces a great happiness, but that will come later. There is a sudden death in the cards, also, but it does not closely concern her at all—only an incident in her experience. A man, I think. It is a very near event” A strained silence closed upon the listeners, as the mention of imminent death always affects any group of mortals. A sudden entrance from the corridor attracted attention and they looked up to find Clarice in the aisle. She smiled at Mervin Gaines, who rose quickly and , bowed. “A very interesting little seance we are having here, Miss Cole. Will you join us?” He introduced her around. Her wide eyes appraised them — recognized Jaxie, smiled sweetly at Kirby, glanced coolly at Miss Proctor. I “Miss Cameron is having her fortune told,” Kirby explained. Clarice hesitated, decided to favor them with her presence, and sat down beside Jaxie, with Gaines balanced on the arm of the seat beside 1 her. They had no more than settled themselves when Bortin and Murray appeared and joined the group. There is always curiosity about a ?roup of people, whatever may be their reason for congregation. It was not long before all the occupants of the car were sitting or standing about the table except the ittle man in section one and the farmer and his wife—the three who usually remained aloof from all contacts. Interest grew intense, silences strained and humor brittle, as they listened to this impromptu oracle. Miss Proctor’s remarks were followed by bursts of incredulous laughter—half fear, half belief ; awe mixed with contempt Whether Miss Proctor told them things which she did not see, or divined, that which she did not disclose—whether, indeed, she possessed any power of divinition—the revelations of the hour influenced many thoughts for many days, and

perhaps played their small part with destiny. At any rate the episode provided a pleasant hour for the bored passengers of car 74X, as the train hurled itself into the time and space of that future over which they halfseriously jested. Clarice demurred when it was suggested that Miss Proctor should peer into her future, but the insistence of the group prevailed. With a toss of her head, aha exchanged places with Jaxie and flipped the cards with ill-concealed scorn. Didn’t she know what her future held 7 Wasn't she the controller of her own destiny, as perhaps few people were 7 “I can see," warned Miss Proctor, “that you have little faith in the cards, but they promise for you a brilliant career and a great opportunity which you face almost at once.” Clarice and Gaines exchanged wise glances. “This opportunity will be presented through a woman, a very blonde woman, and will be brought about by a near-tragedy. Tears and trouble stand between you and this opportunity.” “I never shed a tear in my life!” scoffed Clarice. “There’s a first time for everything," Marie observed flippantly. “Now it’s my turn!" She shuffled the cards noisily, delighting in the brief period of holding the center of attention. “Now, don't tell me any secrets about myself that my husband shouldn’t hear," she warned archly. “You will contend with much jealousy from your husband,” was the first revelation. Marie giggled. “That must be a sign that he loves me a lot.” Miss Proctor continued. “There is a great deal of talk around you, and many people. There is sorrow over a surprise, and then much happiness. You are easily content." The men displayed even more contempt for the performance when it came their turn, but they shuffled the cards at Miss Proctor’s direction with a care which betrayed their unconscious respect for the occult. Miss Proctor glanced up sharply from her first survey of Gaines’ cards to meet a gleam of fierce expectation in his eye. She laughed nervously. “I see nothing around you except trouble and blonde ladies." Everyone laughed with Gaines. “What could be more natural?” he shrugged. “They go together like pie and cheese. I’m used to that.” “You will not remain for long where you are going. Another long journey lies ahead of you—not a very pleasant one, it seems. There is a big complication over money matters.” “That seems to be the eternal problem for everyone," he agreed with amusement To Kirby, she promised his wish, with a sudden disturbance in his affairs, an enemy »erv close to him

: and a surpriee that would cause him to be jealous. “I can handle any of the rest of it, if I get my wish,” he declared jubilantly, and dismissed the revi elation with a wide gesture. The train slowed for the stop at Trinidad and the group dispersed, to drift through the doors into the atmosphere of the highest altitude they would reach on the journey. Far above the city, on the loftiest peak, the beacon light for aircraft blinked a sage warning, and huge illumined letters formed the word “TRINIDAD,” boastfully. None might attain to its height, they seemed to shout. Small lights winked feebly up the side of the mountain as if they had accepted its challenge, only to hang suspended midway, helpless. Kirby leaped up the steps after Jaxie as the train began to move. They entered the car to find all of the berths made up and most of them occupied. He said, in a lowered voice, “It’s early yet, only eleven o'clock. Don't say you won’t sit on the platform with me for a while.” “That’s exactly where I’m going now. We pass through the first tunnel on this route just beyond Trini- j dad, so the conductor told me this evening. I couldn’t miss that thrill,” she laughed up into his face, bent near to hers in their low-toned conversation. “I’m glad for any attraction which gives me your company,” he declared. They swayed through the car between the walls of green curtains and into the narrow, deserted corridor from the windows of which the outside world was a blurred streak of darkness. As the door clanged ! shut behind them, the train lurched sharply around a sudden curve, and they were jostled against each other. Kirby’s hand reached out to steady her, and in the next moment they were clinging to each other, breathless with their first kiss; blue eyes and brown meeting full of questions; trembling hands that held to each other. "Darling!” his lips formed the word, but the sound was lost in the train’s clatter. The red and green lights of a section signal flashed upon them through the door for a fraction of a second. The dim light glowed and wavered above them. But they neither knew nor cared what lights might shine upon them or what darkness envelop them. “You do love me! Say that you do!” His lips moved against her face, turning her strength to weakness and her reason to chaos. With a little gasp, Jaxie protested, “But—l’ve known you only —since last night," and knew that a moment or all eternity are one and the same, when one has found love. (To be continued) CapFritbt.
