NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER xx
 Norma came down the aisle of the Pullman car, her silk robe held tightly about her. Her hair was waved softly in place. She had powdered and added a dash of rouge to her lips. She had only to change the robe for her street suit to be completely dressed.
 Most of the berths had been converted into seats. The white coated porter was working on one of the curtained enclosures. Norma passed him, made her way ahead to where Mark was sitting.
 His back was toward her. He turned in surprise.
 Good Lord, Norma, aren't you dressed yet? We'll miss break fast!'
 The girl had opened a travelling case and was rummaging through it.
 T had to have another pair. of hose. Found a dreadful runner. Here-these will do." She closed the lid of the case. "I-why I thought we'd have breakfast after we got off the train. It isn't nearly So expensive"
 "eay-I guess I've got the price of . cup of coffee! I'm hungry and I always feel like the dickens until I've had coffee. Been waiting 15 minutes for you" Gle hadn't but Mark was given to extravagant speeches.)
 "Oh, I'm sorry! If I'd known I could have hurried. I'll be right baok-it won't take me a second now!"
 Repentant, the girl disappeared. In a few moments she was back, weaving hat and coat. Her purse and gloves were tucked under one arm.
 Ready. Mark" she announced.
 "It's too late,' he grumbled. Look, we've passed Brookside. In 10 minutes we'll be in the sta tion."
 But won't that give us time if we hurry?"
 The porter approached with whisk broom. Gan I brush you now, sir?" he inquired with wide grin. His tone was solicitous.
 Mark arose and submitted to the brushing. When he sat down again he said, wen have to wait until we pull in to get something to eat"
 He wasn't cross about 1t. Just annoyed and making no effort to conceal that annoyance. Thus the first item on the days program started badly. An i'll omen if the girl had allowed herself to think of such a thing.
 , The trivial incident was suffi- rcient to make Norma refrain from suggestions when they had Stepped down from the train. : "Well. it'll be ham and eggs for mine!" Mark announced brisk and smiling. Where do we eat?" Anywhere at all. I'm hungry
