'j--i SYNOPSIS
Jazie Cameron, lovely young
newspaper columnist, travels west
aboard the Big Chief, extra-fare
train, ia search of copy for "The
Friendly Corner." Tommy Acker
man, staff photographer for the
Star-Tribune, tees her off, taking a
flashlight photograph for the next
morning's edition as Jaxit waves
farewell from the observation plat
form. She meets Carrie Dade and
the latter's two children. As Jaxie
stands near the rail of the observa
tion car, she almost loses her bal
ance when the train rounds a curve,
but Kirby Elliott-tall, gray-eyed
and humoroas-grasps her arm as
she sways precariously. Introduc
tions and the discovery of mutual
interests follow. - Inside the car,
Hose, the porter, tries to pacify Mrs.
Sanders, a demanding elderly wom
an who shares Section 0 with Elli
ott. Jake Weatherby, gaunt mid
western farmer unused to luxury
trains, looks for "the bed for the
extry money" which the agent had
promised him.' An unassuming
little man in khaki sits reading
among his duffle bags, which con
tain heavy tools. Marie Bortia, a
bride, tells her , overbearing and
penurious groom fhat they should
have taken a drawing room, i

-Harry Bortin was that dominat
ing male of the species who offsets
his inferiority: hi the world of af
fairs by being ., the head man atH
home and tolerating no illusions
about it. It was high time to show
Marie who was boss in this family,
here and now. There had been
enough of letting her have her way
about spending her. father's allow

elaborate trousseau on which she
had set her heart. Her uncle's gift
of a honeymoon Harry would have
preferred to invest more practically
in house furnishings, but Marie was
intent upon the trip to California
which Uncle Jerry had suggested,
to visit other of her relatives and
to display her Harry Woman still
likes to flaunt her power to lead a
man to the altar, regardless of who
or what the man may be. It is ex
hibit number onef or the evidence
of her supremacy in the prima con
test of feminine rivalry. . ' i
Marie had gone with Harry to the
ticket office when he made the reser
ations for the trip. The agent's
experienced glance bad filed them
at once as prospective bride and
groom. There was no mistaking the
girl's eager, possessive hand on the
man's arm and the way her eyes
adored his plain stodginess; while
be was vague and Ci-a tease. .
"Dra win groom ?" be bad inquired
: crisply, but it was more hkm a cor
roborative suggestion. - Ti
Harry flushed and stammered,
No oh, no a lower will do." His
thrifty caution visoued with panic

The agent scribbled ifbnchalantly

called some numbers Into the trans
mitter of. a telephone. It was im
material to him whether or not I
bride and groom preferred a lower
berth or an extra-fare train or
drawingroom on' a regular limited.
What was the big idea, anyway,
saving six hours? He smiled with
Inward amusement and lotted down
the car and section numbers as they
came over the wire, -
"May I hold the baby for yon
while you get the little boy ready
for bed?" Jaxie's voice inquired
above the din of the rumbling train
and the baby's howls.
Carrie Dade's troubled eyes looked

' she smiled wanly.
"That's awfully kind of yon, but
she Isn't very good about going to
