EXTRA FARE

CHAPTER XXXVI The ambulance rolled cautiously away with Carrie Dade, faint with exhaustion and grief, stretched on the cot, and the sorrowing old man holding two frightened babies on his knees. Jaxie turned away and glanced around her as the crowd dispersed. How happily she had anticipated this arrival, expecting to be so thrilled and excited. Even more thrilled than when she had left Chicago. But the golden sunshine was brassy, the blue sky clouded. The dazzling white and red walls of the buildings might have been crumbling stone, for all she noticed them. She started toward the cart for her baggage—and stopped as suddenly as if she had beheld a Medusa’s head. Pain—sharp and terrible and paralyzing—flashed through her. It seemed as if she suffered a year of agony while she looked in that moment at Kirby—yes, it was Kirby, walking toward her— handcuffed to another man. For a panicky moment. she feared that she was going to collapse as Carrie Dade had done. But she had to hold on tight I She would 1 She breathed deeply, steeled herself to meet him. He saw her, and his face brightened. “Good morning, Jaxie!” He had forgotten the handcuff, and tried to reach out his hand, but it dropped back with a metallic sound. Jaxie managed to speak with effort. “Good morning,” she returned calmly. Her voice sounded dead. “It doesn't look like such a good morning for you, however." His face went white, then registered surprise. “Oh, Jaxie!" he rasped, “You don’t think—?” He laughed suddenly, a strained laugh, and looked at the man beside him. And for the first time, Jaxie looked at him too.' She had actually seen only Kirby before. It was Mervin Gaines. He nodded to her, shortly. “Well,” he said, “I got my man.” He leered at Kirby. A siren shrieked, and a police patrol swerved up to the platform. Two men leaped out and ran toward them, followed by curious onlookers. Another group began to form. Again Jaxie was in the center of it. “Sorry we were late.” One of the uniformed men spoke, and saluted. “Had to change a tire coming down." He clapped Kirby on the shoulder. “Good work, chief!” He turned to Gaines. "So you thougnt if you got out of Chicago with the loot, there would be no police on tne coast to meet you, and no secret service men on the lookout for you on the way!” Gaines was silent and sullen. Jaxie looked from one man to another in bewilderment. “Kirby,” she entreated. “Tell me what it's all about! I can’t bear it!" her voice almost sobbed. “Why, darling! Don’t you see? Here!” he commanded, “One of you fellows clamp some cuffs on this guy quick, so 1 can kiss my girl. She’s probably still thinking I'm the prisoner. What do you mean—got your man?" he demanded angrily of Gaines. But Jaxie was in his arms by the

time his hands were free, holding to him desperately, oblivious of the curious crowd around them. “Precious! I’m sorry if I frightened you! I just couldn’t see you this morning to explain. Please forgive me for causing you any worry. I had to do it, and I’ll tell you all about it later. Everything’s all okay now!” The crowd stirred, separated. A girl had hurried up to the group and stood beside Jaxie. She faced the prisoner with cold contempt. It was Clarice Cole—disdainful, calm, poised as if she were acting a role on the screen. “So!” she hissed. “You are the great Mervin Gaines, are you? You despicable crook! I guess you won’t make any more girls believe you can make them into stars. Something saved me from you—l don’t know why. But I’ve learned a lesson that will last me for the rest of my life.” “Is that all you wanted to say?” His gray eyes were sullen, brooding. He turned to the officers. “I demand that we leave here at once. My arrest does not require that I be made an entertainment for the public.” The crowd moved, dispersed slowly. The three men walked quickly to the patrol and entered. With a shriek of the siren it darted away. Clarice turned to Jaxie. “Goodbye and good luck,” she said. “I hope you two will be happy. I can see that you’re that way about each other.” "Thanks,” Jaxie laughed confusedly. “And good luck to you. Miss Cole.” “I have it with me,” she shrugged. “And watch me take full advantage of it” She turned to Kirby, and their glances met with subtle understanding. “I can’t thank you for what you have done for me,” she spoke solemnly, “but I shall try to deserve it I didn’t know there were fellows in the world like you.” “Don't mention it,” Kirby dismissed her with a grin. “Only attending to my duty—protecting the public from criminals. Good luck to you, now.” She turned away. “Then we’ll be seein’ you, in the movies," Jaxie called after her. Clarice walked briskly toward a long sleek motor car, waiting at the curb. It was a handsome foreign car—mauve in color, and chromiumfitted until it glittered like a jewel. A chauffeur in plum-colored, brassbuttoned livery stood at obsequious attention beside the open door. As Clarice entered the car, he saluted and closed the door after her. She sank back into the pearl-gray cushions and smiled timidly at Yola Renee. “So sorry to have kept you waiting, but I had to do that. I wanted him to know I knew.” “I quite agree that you should,” Yola affirmed lanquidly. “Home, Pierre!” • • • Jaxie turned about Her eyes met Kirby’s. It seemed as if she had lived a century since she first had met those merry blue eyes on the observation platform of the Big Chief, less than three days before. They stared at each other for a silent moment. "Well,” he exclaimed finally, “that’s that, believe it or not! But what about us?"

i spent the week-end with her par- ■ ents, Mr. and Mr®. E. W. Husehe and attended the dedication serI vices at the Monroe M. E. church ■ i Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Marion Watkins ■ i and son Eugene and daughter EeII ther of Burbon, tspent the weeklend with Mrs. Etta Heffner and J other relatives. Fran'k Brandyberry of Van Wert, Ohio, spent the week-end with his aunt. Mrs, Etta Heffner. Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Shirk of Fort Wayne visited Mrs. Shirk’s parents I Mr. and Mrs. David Leisure at the Monroe M E. ehurch Sunday.

She smiled wanly. “I don't know yet what it all means.” "You’re the best little sport in the world. Jaxie darling, to believe in me as you did! And you did believe in me until you saw me in handcuffs, and didn’t know which side of ’em I was on, didn’t you?” “Not quite,” she confessed. “This morning—” “I don’t blame you," he interrupted. "You thought I had dropped off in the mountains somewhere last night. At that, I didn’t give you quite the raw deal that blonde got. But look here." He jerked back the lapel of his coat, suddenly. Jaxie stared, gasped, “Oh!” “Chief deputy— secret service bureau. That's why I had to fold myself in that upper. Last minute information that Bliss—that’s his name, Herman Bliss—sounds heavenly, doesn’t it—was on that train. The telegram racket you wondered about was keeping in touch with headquarters. I had to watch him and get complete evidence. Bank employee with responsible position and good record, but he left for a month’s vacation when things looked just too bad for him. He cashed the bonds and tried to get out of the country before he was caught. I didn't want to arrest him on the train unless I had to. But 1 was forced to, this morning. That's why I couldn’t see you. And all this is the reason that I had to keep absolutely mum about myself. A secret service man never confides in any-one-even the best girl in the world. But darling, I’ll make up for lost time—double, if you say so. How about it?” "Treble it, if you wish,” she smiled happily. He leaped to the cart, snatched the remaining baggage, and hailed the last cab. “To the best hotel in town!" he told the driver. “And now, we’ll start on that past due payment with a kiss!” A block beyond she gasped. “Kirby dear, I want to see where we are driving. I mustn’t miss a thing! i'll have to write my first impressions of the city for my column, so you shouldn't spoil them.” “How about it—did I spoil your last impressions of Chicago—did I?” The cab rumbled on in the sunshine, carrying two happy passengers. "Journeys end in lovers meeting, every wise man's son doth know.” • • • The Big Chief stretched its jointed length along the station tracks in the California sunshine, weary to exhaustion, snorting with feeble protest, sighing and panting. Like a lethargic monster settling itself for a long sleep, one by one its many eyes blinked and closed, and finally the one great eye in the center of its head winked shut. Men, looking small and powerless by comparison. hurried hither and yon around it, ruthlessly dissecting it and dragging the parts in various directions. To the roundhouse went the locomotive, the Pullman sections to the siding, and the observation car was transferred to another train being assembled, where more lovers would meet and new tragedies unfold.
