EXTRA FARE By EDNA ROBB WEBSTER SYNOPSIS Jasia Cameron, lovely young newspaper columnist, travels west aboard the Big Chief, extra-fare train, in search of copy for "The Friendly Corner." Tommy Acker- . man, staff photographer for' the Star-Tribune, sees her off, taking a flashlight photograph for the next morning's edition as Jaxie waves ' farewell from the observation plat- . form. Soon she becomes acquainted with Mrs. Carrie Dade and her two children; then she meets Kir by El liott . tall, 'gray-eyed and ha- ' morons. . . Inside the car Mose, the porter, tries to pacify Mrs. Sand ers, a demanding elderly woman who shares Section 6 with Elliott, and explains travel accommoda tions to Jake Weatberby, gaunt mid-western farmer nnnsed to lux ury trains. An unassuming little man In - khaki sits reading. His heavy duffle bags rattle when they are moved, as if they contained miner's tools. When the Dade babies begin to cry, Jaxie provides drawing-room for them. CHAPTER VI "Good night, Miss Cameron, and thank yon again so much. Carrie Dade entered the little room as if she , had been granted entrance to the queen's apartments in a royal pal ace. with awe and gratitude; and a peaceful hope enveloped her. Just then the drummer in upper 9 entered from the smoker, "well, guess I'm ready to climb the ladder to the hayloft, George," he' '. ad--dresseiLlIose, in the manner of all drummers" addressing all porters. - "Yes. son, ahTl git da taddah right away." Be turned about and hesitated, beckoned the man into the eorridor. "Say, Boss, I was jes think in . he - winked toward the swaying, buttoned curtains of lower 9. "bow would yon-all iak to shift yo'se'f over Into upper 7t Dai lady wid da two kids has taken de draw In room, and dat leaves de lower empty. Bow "bout it, sun!" "I'm on. George." laughed the salesman. "Suits me. all right.' "Yes, sun, ahTl hab It ready f oh you-all in a jiffy, suh. Thus Mose, the all-wise manager, shifted his misfit charges into more convenient niches to the best of his ability; aa the mis fits of life often have to be shifted about after things get started. And Jaxie, happy in -the- thourht of. a weary mother's comfort, slipped in between the cool, taut sheets in her sheer silk pa- lamas, stretched her bare, white arms above her head in the smoke- scented, swaying dArkness and re joiced that life was good and living better. Gazing Into the dim, soft. rushing world outside, her memory conjured dark laughing blue eyes that were set between a flashing smile and a high smooth forehead surmounted . by - severely brushed black hair. . . Just across the narrow aisle, under tht low, convex ceiling of upper 6, those same dark eyes tared at the dimly lighted wall above the swaying curtains and their owner wished mightily for aa onen window: but his heart lifted and beat a little faster at the menv - ory of a voice, husky-sweet, and the way two brown eyes had looked Into his. The Bis? Chief, extra-fare train, hurtled and crashed on into the moving days, thcae cross currents of life melted and mingled and hesi tated briefly before they flowed on into other currents which they would join. Car 74X, next to the ob servation car, held probably the most oddly assorted - specimens of human nature ever assembled to gether in so small a space, persons whose fates were destined to become entangled more than a brief three day journey warranted. Why were these people so Intent on reaching their destination at the given hour of seven-thirty on a given Monday morning? Why had each of them paid ten dollars extra leisurely and paid tips grandly for the ldnd of flattering service they required. Clarice could afford to be that ambitious. Her gold-glinting hair-attracted the eye as all gold lores, her own lapis lazuli blue eyes, shaded with deep curling fringes, promised vague delights, j and the . sinuous grace of her slim! body in the trim green linen uniform and little fagot-edged white apron never quite escaped a man's memory.' Clarice who had been Emma then had become a waitress at Kenny's without experience; an un precedented occurrence in j the his torv of Kenny's where expert ser- 1 I Her gold-glinting hair attracted the eyes as all gold lures. to save six hours of time time of which ail the world and life are made and yet so precious to these people that - It represented this monetary value? Their reasons were aa varied as their characters. their possessions and their objec tives, ' ' T--f '': ' - ? The retiring, unobtrusive little man in section one had asked Mose to make up his berth early, and had retired like the proverbial Arab who folds bis tent and slips softly away over shifting wastes of sand. His thoughts were projected into such ages as are beyond the scope of the minds of ordinary men and were concerned primarily with the solvi tag of the riddle of the universe. He little occupied -wttii present whims and Indulgences, with per sonal glorification and sausiacuon. And he traveled extra fare because his expense account and hie honor able station required it, Not so, however, with his exact antithesis fat the section across the aisle. Clarice Cole's every thought and action were concentrated upon night shrieking, hissing and click. those very mundane achievements ins ever the taut, saining rsui 1 vojcb - u nunnc uut rhich awaited its taunaerous pass ing. Within its long, slim, sinuous coils it carried as many destinies as there were - passengers aboard.

Her goal had cot wavered through all the months of the past two years while -ahe had waited tables at Kenny's restaurant and saved every penny ever a meager allowance for existence toward this trta tA Hollvwood. Ever since she was thirteen and eves so the ethers. If they could ae rruire them without being too am bitious. Some woold attain them natur ally, some wrest them from life by sheer force, some acquire thenr dis- beauty with that of the screen stars. Clarice bad known what ahe going to do.

The news market wise was no worse than usual, in fact, there were occasional bright spots visible. Trading forces, however, apparently look ed through dark glasses and of ferings topped bids after a slight forward tilt at the opening. Volume was somewhat larger on the downturn, although the session was hardly one that could be - termed . "active." Transfers totaled 619,950 shares compared with 488,930 Friday.
