"Miss Baxter - h#y, Miss BaX- '

The young girl ran fleetly through
the Grand Central Station, the

With th A flfthnncM. V
^?oi experience
she eluded the news
hounds, riding triumphantly ,
through the train gates on a passing
baggage truck and clamber-,
ing onto the waiting train ? the
Darthmouth Carnival Special.
The gate outside the track was
the scene of a bedlam of leavetaking
as young girls bade goodbye
to their fluttering mammas
and ran to catch the train that
would bear them to their "dates"
at the Carnival.
"My ski shoes! Mother, did you
pack my aki shoes?".. ."Now don't

you've got everything?".. ."So long.
Mom, see you Monday ./'Be a

As the train started, Ann walked
through the cars until she found
the drawing room she was looking
for. She'*'opened the denr

tune. An answering whistlo

fugitive Jill Baxter, having heard
her sister's "All safe" sign-J, rushed
out with a squeal of Joy into
her arms.
"Darling!"
"Jill!"
"Gosh, Rookie, what've {hey been
feeding you this year? You're as
big as I am."
"Gee, it's fun to see you! After
I got your phone call from Chicago
I couldn't sleep a wink. Do you
know who was waiting at the '
station? The Duke ? still trailing
you!"
Ann exulted at the thought of .
having her sister with her at the
Winter Carnival, and- offered her
one of her three "dates" ? but
Jill, it appeared, had other, larger
plans.
"Thanks ? I've . got my own,

"But this train only goes as far
as Dartmouth."
"Yes ? but the Montrealer
comes through four hours later."
"You could see your old heartbeat,
Johnny Weldon," Ann coaxed
mischievously. "He's a big shot on

"So he stuck to his guns. Just
