CHAPTER XXVIII Dr. Allen Meady left the train at Winslow with his strange assortment *of baggage, which Mose dragged to the platform as a last reluctant response to duty. But when Dr. Meady handed him a fivedollar bill, Mose reformed like a repentant schoolboy. “Yas suh, thank you, suh! Is dey any place I could carry these things to foh yoh-all, suh? We has quite a long stop heah, and dey's no pohtahs around.” "You might help me get them into the station, if you will,” Dr. Meady suggested. Mose sprang to the task, refused his patron’s assistance, collected the bags and cases about his person with professional skill and looked, himself, like a great dunnage bag as ha staggered into the station. “Let dat be a lesson to you!” he mocked himself scornfully. “But no, yoh is jes’ lak a dunce in school; de moh lessons yoh has, de dumber yoh gets, das all!” So the quiet little gentleman wandered off into the desert with a temperamental mule, to lose himself in the contemplation of the ages and to leave behind him that useless, cumbersome cloak called civilization. His generous tip to the porter was a gesture of admission to his creed: live and let live. , During the two months of his absence from the turmoil of men scores of murderers ' I would be tried by justice, thieves tasouid prowl from coast to coast, of souls would die and as many be born, hundreds more would find or lose happiness; and not all of it would leave so much impression upon the history of the world in I ages to come as the story Dr. Meady would discover in some obscure pebble lost in the majesty of the mountains. The rocks had taught him the pettiness of life—the secret of , eternity. The afternoon wore on. with the temperature rising steadily. The Big Chief pressed on through a majestic desolation of barren cliffs, brooding silences and shifting sands. Miles of sand dunes shifted and swirled under treacherous winds. In the midst of this eerie wilderness life seemed to have ceased. But an interested observer might have glimpsed a rattlesnake gliding across the sand with head erect, a horned toad leaping to shelter beneath a cactus, a jackrabbit darting i into the tangled foliage of a mes- : quite bush. The sun glared with i torrid venom. But the Big Chief scorned this unfriendly background of the desert. Its steel coaches absorbed the heat ; until the walls were hot to the touch. Its passengers exclaimed and complained over the rise in temperature. It was in the middle of the hot day that Gaines chose to entertain Jaxie in the club car. They were reading the newspapers obtained at I Winslow—city papers from the East which reached them by airplane.

A strange exultation that rose up within her. • It was one of those milestones, she thought, on the highway to success. This one marked one of the goals i which she had worked earnestly and i diligently to attain. Gaines, whose chair was beside i hers, looked over her shoulder. “Aha! So there we are!” he ex- 1 claimed pleasantly. “No mistaking i your identity, is there? They ’ couldn’t hold you for suspicion on i any grounds. That’s more than the 1 rest of us can say. The front page screams about a clever thief escap- i ing the country on a westbound ’ train, and the next section proves < that you are not the guilty one.” I "Lucky I,” she laughed. “But if 1 that robber is on this train, I wish < they would catch him en route. Wouldn’t that make some excite- t ment for my column? My public 1 wouldn’t forget that for awhile. I • suppose a large part of Chicago is • interested in that thief, one way or < another.” “Os course, and so is the whole ' country. A criminal at large is a j nenace to the whole public, whether ‘ he actually has perpetrated a crime 1 or is only a potential criminal. In j fact, the latter is worse—there is no ’ way of apprehending him.” “You are very interesting, as I 1 anticipated. You knew that we were 1 destined to meet in Hollywood?” she queried. “My pleasure, I assure you, Miss ’ Cameron. And please don’t think that I am courting flattery in your ' column. I could not be more sincere.” “I’m sure of it.” “By the way, have you never ' wished to try your talent in Holly- ) wood? I had the impression that : most of the writers in the country ' had treked to California during the last decade. The woods, and hills, 1 are full of them—lots of poor ones ' starving but basking in the sunshine, and a few good ones enjoying other advantages as well as the sunshine.” His smile was ingrati- 1 ' ating. “But how easily I might be one of ■ the unfortunate majority!” "Rather the contrary,” he denied. “If you can command a Chicago i public—half frozen and chained to industry as they are—what might ■ not be your results with the warm- . hearted, carefree sons of sunny : California, who are ready to greet . any innovation with open arms, - provided the innovation is as de- . lightful as you are,” he added in a t lower tone, and watched her face i intently. ■ Jaxie dismissed his compliment t lightly. “Well, I shouldn't care to t have all the sons of California take . me in their arms,” she laughed. “But

I should like to write to my Chicago public about you. May I?” “What shall you say?” he asked with a smile. • “Oh—that you are even more handsome than your pictures, that it is no wonder to me that the stars of your productions act so superbly, that even I might be able to become a great actress under your capable direction —isn’t that what your studio would want me to say, and quite the usual thing?” Her smile crinkled in her eyes. “You may write anything about me that you wish, if you will promise to let me entertain you in Hollywood. And it is just possible we may induce you to remain with us for a long time.” “My schedule gives me a month, in which time I must cover the whole west coast But of course I shall be delighted to see you in Hollywood. I hadn’t expected such a good | break, even with my editor's credentials.” “You could break in anywhere—and stay for as long as you wish.” | His expression gloated a little and Jaxie reflected that she by no means envied those stars who bowed to hia dictates. They reached Needles, the hottest point on the route, in the hushed glare of a brassy sunset. • Not a breath stirred the clear, burning air. Dry palms dangled limp fin- ; gers of exhaustion. Flies hung in the air, motionless. People stood about as if they were powerless to move, and gazed apathetically at the passengers of the limited walking the platform like prisoners just freed from solitary confinement. To them, even the still hot air was a welcome relief from the confinement of the train. The Big Chief rushed on again toward the setting sun, as if try- i ing to overtake it. The dining car clattered and tinkled and rustled and laughed with the rejuvenated activity of the dinner hour. Already the air was changing. Cool, light winds scurried across the sand outside, jeered at the diminishing power of the sun’s rays. Human energy revived slightly. But vitality and interest were still at low ebb on this third night of confinement in so small a space, and the evening hours threatened to drag interminably. There would be no more stops to break the monotony. Conversations were desultory aand dispositions frayed. For such an evening the Big Chief had provided that four of its porters should be trained entertainers. The conductor announced a half hour of diversion in the club car for the passengers in the rear cars and another half hour in the diner for the forward cars. Interest mounted. Spirits rose, and frayed dispositions improved. The club car was filled to capacity at the appointed hour. (To be continued) Cepyrifht. Edna Robb Web iter.
