This person had appeared suddenly sfter the line of four had formed In front of old Sammy at the gate; he had taken his place with them nnlv of them. Ills ticket was a strip which originally had held coupons for the Pacific voyage and some Indefinite journey in Asia before; unlike the Englishmans and his baggage did not hear the palters of the Nippon Tusen Knishn the ticket was close to the dale when it would have expired. It bore upon the tine where the purchaser signed, the name Philip D. Eaton" in plain, vigorous characters without shading or Sourish. As a sudden eddy of the gale abour the shed blew the ticket from old Sammys cold fingers, the young man Stooped to recover it. The wind Mew off his cloth cap as he did so, and as he bent and straightened before old Sammy, the old man suddenly gasped ; and while the traveler pulled on his cap, recovered his ticket and hurried down the platform to the train, the gatemnn stood staring after him as though trying to recall who the man presenting himself as Philip I). Eaton was. Connery stepped beside the old man. Who Is it. Sammy? lie demanded Who?" Sammy repeated. Iiis eus were still fixed on the retreating figWho? I doat know." ure. The gatemnn mumbled, repenting to himself the names of the fanmus. the great, the notorious, in his eiTort to fit one to the man who had jm.t passed. No one else belated and bound for the Eastern Express was in sight. The presidents order to the conductor and to the dispatcher simply had directed that Number Five would run one hour late; it must leave In five minutes; and Connery, guided by the impression the man last through the gate had made upon him and old Sammy both, had no doubt that the nmn for whom the train had been held was now on board. Connery vent out to the train. The passengers who had been parading the platform had got aboard; the last five to arrive also had disappeared into the Pullmans, and their luggage had been thrown into the baggage car. Connery Jumped aboard. The three who had passed the gate first the girl, ttie man with the glasses and the young nmn in the cutaway it had now become clear were one party. They had bad reservations made, apparently, In the name of Dome; the girls address to the spectacled man made plain that he was her fa tiier; her name, apparently, was Harriet; the .voting man in the cutaway coat was Don" to her and Avery to her father. His relation, while intimate enough to permit him to address the girl as Harry, was unfailingly respectful to Mr. Dome; and against ti cm both Dome won iiis way; his daughter was to occupy the drawing room; he and Avery were to have sections m the open car. You have Sections One and Three, sir," the Pullmin conductor told him. And Dome diiected the porter to put Averys luggage in Section One, his own Id Section Three. The Englishman was sent to Section Four in Ca-- Three the next car forward and di parted at the heels of the porter. Connery watched more closely, ns now it came the turn of the young man v hose ticket bore the name of Eaton Eaton had no reservation in the sleepers; he appeared, however, to h..vo some preference as to where he s'ept. Give me a Three, if you have one, he requested of the Pullman conductor. His voice, Connery noted, was well modulated, rather deep, distinctAt sound of It, Dome, ly pleasant. who with his daughter's help was settling himself in iiis section, turned and looked that way and said something In a low tone to the girl. Harriet Dome nlso looked, and with her eyes on Eaton, Connery saw her reply rapidly and at some length. I can give you Three in Car Three, opposite the gentleman I jut assigned," the Pullman conductor ifter scrutiny r d. Thatll do very well, Eaton answered in the same pleasant voice. As the porter now took his bngs. Eaton followed hirn out of the car. Connery went after them Into the next car. He expected, rattier, that Eaton would at once identify himself to him a the passenger to whom President Jarvis short note had referred. Eaton, however, paid no attention to him. but was busy taking off his coat nnd settling himself in his section as Connery passed.
