CHAPTER XXXII Human sounds penetrated the stillness. Loud snoring, deep breathing, gurgling, coughing. Muffled footsteps in the carpeted aisle. Gaines lay in rigid agony. They stopped just beside him. He felt that eyes penetrated the thick curtain. The steps moved on more noisily into the rubber-floored corridor. Gaines breathed again with pained relief. Finally a bell clanged in the distance, the locomotive panted, voices shouted, the train glided away. Lights flashed, dim and bright, into the moving windows; sudden darkness, then light At length, a prolonged darkness. Quiet, save for the clamor of the rushing train. Gaines ventured to peer out. No one in sight He waited for a discreet time. Silence. Deserted aisle and corridor. He opened the curtains, darted across the aisle, lifted the curtains of number 3, and dropped into his own berth with vast relief. Fool he had been to venture such a thing. He had let his infatuation for the little blonde overrule his good sense. Never let that happen again, he vowed. He was lucky that no one had caught him where he didn’t belong, or had seen him prowling around. He did not remember that the power which so nearly had caused him ruin was that same power which has led emperors to renounce thrones, has made paupers of princes and fools of wise men. Nor did he know that two eyes in the car had watched his every movement with amusement as well as satisfaction. So great was his relief from the torture of the past half hour of anxiety that he soon slept soundly, as did the rest of the passengers in car 74X. But there was one fewer passenger in the car. Upper 6 was vacant. • • • Jake started up from his sleep and peered about him in the semidarkness. He still expected, every time he awakened, to find himself in his own brass-railed bed at home, in the room where the familiar blue roses on the wallpaper remained fresh and cheerful the year ’round, through blighting January snows and withering July suns. He was cold now-, and for an instant almost leaped out of bed to cross the room and close the window where the cold wind would be billowing the starched lace curtains out like full sails. But there was only one small window, raised a few inches. It didn’t seem possible that so much cold air could force itself through so small an opening. And considering the torrid heat of the afternoon just past, it was still less plausible. Queer how, when people were too warm, they imagined they would prefer to suffer any degree of cold. And when they were cold, they vowed they would never again complain of the heat. Jake drew his ponderous gold watch and chain from beneath his pillow and peered at its face in the dim light. Only

three o’clock. He had mistaken the e strident clamor of a crossing bell -for the imperative voice of his own 1 alarm clock. Martha was sleeping ■. soundly, and somewhat audibly. He / smiled to himself with fond amuset ment, recalling her frequent repri- - mands as to his own sonorous slum- > berg. He tried to sleep again, but - in vain. i Finally he crept out and shuffled to the dressing room. He expected . to find no one there to dispute his 3 privacy, but as he opened the door, . the inner curtains swung apart with > the current of air, and Jake saw - that the room was occupied. He . hesitated for an instant, then step- > ped inside. The man was dressed and seemed to be packing his bag, , which was not so disturbing to Jake’s desire for privacy. But in , that instant between his discovery ’ of the room's occupant and his enj trance, Jake had noticed that the man was handling papers, not cloth- . »ng. » He turned abruptly when Jake en- - tered, and looked at him as if ■ startled. Then he laughed easily, . but snapped the bag shut instantly, r as if he had just finished his work. > But the gesture appeared too hasty 1 to Jake’s discerning eye. The man was Kirby Elliott. » “Good morning," he greeted Jake 1 pleasantly. “You must be an early i riser.” s "You’re not oversleepin* yours self," Jake returned abruptly, r “Must be gettin’ off soon.” r “Yes, I am. At San Bernardino.” t He jerked at his tie, examined his - face more closely in the mirror, then said jauntily, “Well, goodbye, and e good luck.” f “Same to you,” Jake grunted, and ', gave him a sidelong glance. They 1 were not due at San Bernardino for r about two hours, yet. s Kirby swung out the door and Jake, stopping the self-closing door before it snapped shut, observed that j he did not return to the car, but . turned down the corridor in the f opposite direction. j Presently, Jake returned to his i, own section and crept in stealthily e beside Martha. His excitement j seethed, his faded eyes glittered in ~ the faint light. He touched his 3 wife’s arm, shook it lightly. She s started up, trying to adjust herself t to her surroundings. a “What’s the matter, Jake?" Mare tha demanded. “Are we almost e there? Is it time t* git up? Seems 1 awful dark, yit.” “No, ’tain’t time t’ git up. But - listen, Marthyl I jist now seen the t queerest things goin’ on. An’ I’ve r got my suspicions. What would you 1 say es I was to be the one t’ ketch e that bond robber?” t “Well, I reckon I won’t say any- >. thing until you’ve done it” Martha o always was conservative. She was d calm now, recalling that any small [. excitement always set Jake in a y flurry, as a gust of wind flutters i- snowflakes. s “There you go—always dis-' n couragin’ me.” He sounded as if he , d might not confide his news to her I y after all. But he knew that anyi

woman would hang herself with curiosity, given enough of that fatal rope. "Land sakes! What do I keer how many robbers you ketch. I might even be able t* help you, es you’d tell me what your suspicions be.” Jake cast her a sidelong glance, but decided that he was just as anxious to confide in her as she was to have his confidence. So he told her what he had seen. She listened eagerly, but her final comment was not warm words of praise. "Well, I don’t see as that’s so much t’ git excited over. Anybody on a train has a right t’ git off wherever they please. An’ most men carry lots o’ papers with them. Don’t seem to me as es that chap could be a robber. I like his looks." “Huh!" Jake snorted, "it’s them kind of looks that always is deceivin’, and that git away with crooked things like that. Didn’t it say he was a employee of the bank, and don’t he look jist like one o’ them fellers that act so smart behind their cages when they take your money and count it out for you ? I I allays do feel kinda like I’d never lay eyes on it agin, when they stack 1 it up in piles and lay it away in a drawer with a grin, like they wus satisfied." * “Well, ’course, ’tis possible, I reckon,” she admitted reluctantly. “But whut d’you spose I should do, now? Who should I tell about whut I jist seen?” “That colored man?” she sug> gested. “He seems right helpful about everything.” a “No, I don’t think so. He knows plenty about his own work, but he ain’t got no authority, I don’t reckon. Seems like the conductor might be the right one to tell.” “But this is the middle of the night, an’ you wouldn’t want to wake him fer somethin’ that might not be important.” “How kin anybody tell how important it might be? Any clue to crime is allays valuable, and any feller who has charge of this here train ought to be glad t’ know about it, night or day, when the whole government is after a passenger on his train.” There was some discussion as to how the conductor should be summoned. Jake thought that he should hunt him up personally, but decided that would be too much responsibility to assume. Martha suggested that the proper procedure was to call Mose first. So Jake gave the electric button between the windows a timid poke with his forefinger and half dreaded the results it would bring. After what seemed an interminable time, however, Mose came shambling, as curious as he was sleepy. Something very unusual must have happened in lower 4. It was the first time that bell had been used during the trip. He shook the curtain. “Yes, suh, did yoh-all want sumpin’?” Jake emerged. “Why, I was woni derin’. Could I see the conductor J right away?” (To be continued) Copyright. Edna Robb WetetUr. ’ I Dlatrlbutad by King Feature* Syndicate. Im,
