There was clearly nothing to do but to ~
back to the station to await the rerairin, n
the coach. While this was being done Yuhs
Bill again drew Thatcher aside:
II alters suspected that chaps game eve
but didn't somehow allow for anything lls

exchange or compensation, but it may gveys
a chance to spot him agin, or him you. Il
strikes mo as bcin' far-nindcd and squar;.
and with these words liz deposited at the feet
of the astonishcl Thatcher the black travelling
bag of Mr.. Wilcs.
"But, Bill-scc hero! can't take this in.

Half amused, half embarrassed vet still
protesting, Thatcher took the bag in bis hands
