Tommy Ackerman. ataff photographer, aaea ber off, taking a fia-hlight picture as'Jaxis waves farewell from the obiervation platform. Inaldt Car J4X, If oce, the porter. Is installing ' those who, for three dramatic days, . are to be companions in the swift rush to the Coast, Among the " passengers,; Jaxie 1 identifies as a bride a girl who dashes into the . train laughing excitedly. -Vv", CHAPTER II She was followed instantly by a grinning young man whose hat and shoulders dripped grains of rice and " whose arms were laden with bags and cases of vivid orchid leather. . Moss did not require the evidence f the rice to register the new comers aa bride and groom, and he hurried forward, l beaming benevo lently, to relieve (he self-conscious young man of his burdens. Yes, tuht I guess you-all take i drawin' room A, U ah'm a gnessah." "No why, er no.. . . It's number nine lower nine! isn't it, Marie 7" The man blushed; with confusion, j "Yes, nine," laughed the girl in a shrill voice, still jwaving at the gar rulous group onj the platform and . throwing kisses. ' i Mose shrugged again and turned about into the car, leading the way to the farthest efid. "Wrong again," he mumbled to himself.- K j A stout, blandl gentleman -already : was settled in section 9, his worn : Gladstone bag tucked under the seat ! that rode forward. He was reading ; a sales brochure that proclaimed . his profession and he glanced up in : quiringly as Mose arrived with the i shining new orchid luggage, the ! rtiahing, giggling bride and the i blushing.' wriggling bridegroom in ; tow.- - I ;- . : "Ah reckon lyou-all's gonna hab : Idnda close quatahs heah," Mose ! observed, and winked at the bland I gentleman, who grinned broad re- : sponse. "How fbout settin' dis heah ; hat box Jea' inside dat drawin' room ' doah, till we know ef it's gonna be i cccypiedt". I . K i , The wary bridegroom cast a dubi ous . eye toward the : indicated . drawing room. . " I . "Just so you don't charge as extra for the space," he laughed ruefully. "I told you that do-dad was one too much to take." He turned toward the girl, excitedly bewildered and striving for composure. : "Oh, Harry dear," ahe chided him , gently. . - -l -.. " Coa'se dey aint no extry charge," Mose replied with good nature, fitted the rest of the pieces into place, his color-loving eye de lighted with the orchid leather and estimating its worth in a swagger- ins- bridegroom's top. "Das mil right, suh," he rambled on with his monologue, f Ah's a married man 'myself, ah ia and ah knows ail bout dis heah honeymoon business." An other exchange of glances with the , bland gentleman. f : i He stood aside for the bride to , take the forward seat which the gallant first occupant of the sec tion had proffered,: tnd becaihe aware ef the touch of the young husband's hand aa he pressed some- thing into his. Of course embar rassed bridegrooms always were shy about paying tips ia the pres enc of new wives. Mose closed hia hand expectantly and, almost dropped the coin in his astonish - ment A thin dime! Four pieces of orchid leather baggage were good for a dimet In spite of bis years ef experience rritb humanity, Mose wss still easily deceived by tawdry surface display, i i "My rawdl" he ejaculated as he hurried away, "How I does pity dat gal what hart es acquired da ti ihtwad for a husban' r" But his raanner and expression betrayed nothing of his thoughts as he hastened forward to meet a new group ef passengers just entering the car hesitantly.

EXTRA FARE" By EDNA ROBB WEBSTER a scarred brown leather suitcase in the other hand. A plain little wo man followed, holding a small boy by the hand and clasping two small er bags of cheap patent leather that, proclaimed their, recent pur chase for the occasion. f Lower 77" the man said Inquir ingly, as Mose collected the . bags industriously and indicated the sec tion. How long before you leave?" "'Bout fibe minutes, now," Mose consulted his wrist watch' and bustled away, having bowed his thanks for the quarter which the "Ob, Harry dear,1 man evidently had had ready in his i hand. The woman glanced around the car, shyly, sat down and took the baby on her lap and appealed to her husband, who was occupied with re moving the small boy's coat and cap. The child's eyes stared wide with the; novelty of this strange place which was called a train. He had played with trains for as long as his abbreviated memory could recall, but this was so overwhelmingly real and different than even his youth ful imagination had conjured. - "Oh, Ed, I'm so frightened about going alone," the little woman mur mured. "I wish you were coming along to help manage Junior. And think if Mother should 1" "I know. I'd go with yon If I could leave and we could afford it, Carrie. Brace up, dear, perhaps Mother will be much better by the time you get there. Let me know right away, wont you? Be a good boy. Junior, and help Mummy with sister. Junior suddenly puckered his face and wailed, "I wanna do home wiv daddy I" Shl There, there, Junior 1 See all the people looking at you I his mother entreated with panic How young we are taught to fear what people will think I "See daddy has to go, now. The train Is going to start. Listen, do you hear the bell t" Junior stopped wailing to listen for the belL but his mother's voice sounded more strange: to him strained with anxiety and choked with unshed tears. Her husband kissed them all hurriedly and fled, as the train began to move. . Two women in aecuon 8 across the aisle exchanged grim glances of eonsternaaon, ,i , i , r- - "Wouldn't it be just our lock," ob served the thin, high-nosed one who wore eyeglasses and a dull black crepe dress of last season's (node, "to have two crying children right across the aisle for three days on a train, -after , teaching forty aoisy, squirming youngsters for nine Wheat Spurt Short Lived Mexico' Only jlmporter to Order ; Domestic Crop .

Jackman, extension crop special ist at Oregon State college. High prices or potatoes often create a demand for good seed. For example, Certified seed cost $3 to J 4 a hundred last spring. The same product costs SI this year. I Many wise potato growers are 'taking advantage of low prices to get good certified seed. All coun ty agricultural; agents have lists of growers of icertified potatoes. months and saving our hard-earned money for a vacation?" i As the train began to move, Jaxie Cameron, Star-Tribune columnist, who expected to ndss nothing on this trip, going or coming, hurried into the observation car, which was filled -to capacity, and proceeded to the: rear platform.! That small rec-J tangle of rpaeeiwas crowded, also, but already thai passengers of the Big Chief were growing tolerant of close proximity, as companion trav elers quickly do. Each one conceded ew- she chided. him gently, f i the fact that everyone else desired to share the thrill of being on the rear platform when the Limited pulled out of the terminal, and shifted obligingly into the smallest space. A half dozen persons oc cupied the chairs under the awn ing and the others stood against the gleaming brass! rail. As Jaxie opened the screen door and hesi tated, two of the standees moved aside to provide Space for. her. One of them iwas the tall young man whose eyes had met hers when she left the platform some ten minutes before. - Their glances met again, momentarily, and Jaxie experienced a fleeting reaction that was new in her wide, experience of meeting and associating witn men. ; His glance flashed into a half) smile that seemed, without pre-! amble, jto bridge their, lack off acquaintance, even while there was1 nothing f presuming about it. His eyes were very blue, even in the garish light, and their gaze caused Jaxie a momentary sensation of giddiness or was it the sudden speed of the train, aa they stood at the end railing jwith spaee gliding away f rpm them; faster and faster! x ne train siippea tnrougn , um numerable skeleton, frames of bridges jnrhich reminded Jaxie, even; in her chaotic state of mind, of that childish I game of "Button, button who's rot the button 7" and its rani ing, half-opened hands of empty in quiry, under the bridges the blacg oily surface ef the river; mirrored the flashing lights of the train that slipped lover it ilike a necklace of gleaming jewels, i They clicked and jolted over sec4 tion crossings, swerved suddenly at such an- angle that'those standing at the end of the railing received the full benefit of the whip-crack, and Jaxie swayed precariously from1 her balance.
