burning right in Warren's eyes, turned
it off
She was very tired and almost asleep
when she remembered that she had not

and go on to Boston, which would take
them out Of their way. Their tickets

II be simpler to get up and find her
watch and then trust to waking up2
She remembered putting her watch in
her bag over the arm Of the chair, and
feeling her way carefully across the
room she found the chair and her bag
without any trouble and felt around
for her watch
The watch VanIshes.
There was a faint light from the
corridor shining in the transOm over
the door, so she wasn't entirely in the

lap. Could she have lost the watch
or could anyone have taken it,
Cautiously she stood up and began
to feel around on the little shelf

from his berth.
Helen was chattering from the cold
and, clutching the watch IN one hand,
she made her way back to bed.
Haven't pOu gone to bed yet?
That's right; stay up fussing around
till all hours Of the night and then
grumble because you haven't had
enough sleep"
Dear, I got up to get my watch I
