timepieces of all the others. There
were four others In the coach-tWo
bankers and their wives.
All of the eight had declared they
had placed their watches under their
pillows that night, and in the morning
the watches had disappeared. That
was all. The little brown man made
the most fuss over the loss. He talked
about it continually and only consent
ed to speak of other matters when the
conductor told him that there was q
detective on board the train and that
the man would do his utmost to recoV-
er the stolen property before they
reached the next station. If he didn't
well the whole train would be search
ed-that was all.
Dinner was served in the coach in
stead of the dining car and proved to
be a gloomy meal, for no one talked
much except the bankers and their
wives, and as they had plenty Of
money or appeared to have and as
they seemed to consider that there
were plenty more watches where
theirs had come from they got up a
table Of bridge and were very COM
Portable indeed.
The clergyman and his wife and
Mrs. Biggs and the brown man sat in
moody silence in their respective
chairs.
In the baggage car the conductor
was talking to the detective

The theft had occurred in one of the
Pullman coaches that was speeding
across the Texas plains toward south
ern California, and there was a feel
ing of dread and uncertainty among
the victims. There were eight passen-
gers in that particular coach, and each
one had lost gold matchmaking
else.
The conductor had taken the names
Of the passengers and assured them
that a search would be made at the
next station, and it was hoped that the
watches would be recovered, as a strict
watch had been maintained and no
passengers had been permitted to leave
the train since the robbery.
All would have been well, only the
engine had gone wrong, and they were
stalled out there on the prairie fifty
miles from anywhere, and as the man
in the brown suit explained, Nobody
knows but what the ruf1anly thief is
in one Of the forward coaches this
very instant"
