The adventures which had their
climax in the opium joint gave Brock
ett and Solano plenty of material for
discussion as they rolled out on a
southwestern train. This time the
messengers made no attempt to dis
guise their course, but went straight
to the station, bought their tickets
and climbed aboard. Instead Of pur
chasing the red or yellow slips which
license you to toss about in the berths
of the Pullman, however, they decided
to stay in the seats of the day-coach
and get what sleep they could, while
alternate three-hour watches were
agreed on as the best way of Tending
off any possible trouble. The man
who really wants to get you," re-
marked Solano, sagely, has much
better chance In a Pullman than in an
ordinary day-coach, and you take ten
times as many risks for your extra
money"
Before beginning the night watches
the youngsters traversed the whole
train, passing through the sleepers on
their way to the dining car, and satis-
fed themselves that none of their en-
emies had started on the same jour
ney. No German nobleman, big, grufr,
and devoted to his kaiser; no cat-like
Japanese, no sinking Filipinos, were
to be seen from smoker to diner, and
as none Of the befths were made up
early, there was no possibility Of a
