The train came putting into the
station at San Jose and May step
ped out on the platform. Behind
her tripped Goldie Gay swinging her
short purple skirts; and after her
followed Dan.
May wondered idly what had be-
come of Lemuei Fishback as she
stood beside her luggage and looked
about her at the hurrying. colorfui
crowd.
Then suddenly she saw him com
ing toward her, smiling broadly as
he came.
"Therc's been an accident up tho
line, and we won't get away for an
hour That is, if you're going
north. You are, aren't you?" he
asked in an ordinary tone as if he
had known May for years. His
friendliness was disarming.
May nodded, and smiled YEARLY
"To Los Altos" she said.
She was drcadfully tired after
her journey. Her eyes felt as if
there were sand under the lids. She
longed for the quiet of Carlotta's
bungalow, a bath and nap.
"Wonder what's become of Dan? -
she thought and looked around for
him. He was nowhere in sight and
neither was Goldie Gay.

somewhere Fishback said hestita-
tingly. Ma yglanced at him and now
that he was looking at her with half
shut eyes-an artists look as he
studies his model.

and then she told him how Goldie

signalled q red-cap with wave OF
his sausage-like fingers.
When he had checked his bags
and Mays he took her by the arm
and steered her down the sunshiny
street to a chill parlor a block or
two from the station. May noticed
that he limped as he walked.
Over the oilcloth-covered table he
smiled at her with his bullying black
eyes and tapped the thick white
bowl of steaming chill with his
spoon.
