{hroplirn)! Fifteen years have passed and the class of T 1 finds it time to have its first class reunion. Myrna Hord, a retired banker, is at home on her five hundred acre plantation trying to get all of the cards sent out to old classmates before she starts out on a trip to Europe. In collecting all of the addresses- she finds that Dolorus Rebuke has gone to Hollywood and is rehearsing for her latest picture in which she stars in the role of a ballet dancer. Watching her rehearse is millionaire-producer Richard Stanton who is waiting on his chauffeur to bring his custom-made auto to the studio. Here comes his car now. J.iook at that chauffeur! He's so fat he can hardly sit under the wheel. Say, that fellow looks familiar. What do you know! It’s Alan Harshbarger. As they are driving home through the outskirts of Hollywood, they see -Joe Stoerger, a shabby old bum, running down the railroad track trying to catch a freight train back to the East to the reunion. The engineer on that train is Hill Neal, who has gained the title of “Railroad Fireball in the West. His run ends at San Antonio, Texas, where Hill Shumard is a telegraph operator, lie places bets on horses on the side. One of his most frequent customers, Xelda Mulvaney, wife of a San Antonio oilman, was in and placed a large bet on a new horse owned by Doris Helm.
