The Bag Train

The moon had acted as a stimu-
liant to my thoughts, and the con-
tented munehing sound as the
string" of horses consumed their
hay was not sedative enough to
calm my utter wide-awakedness.
Why have you put bars across
the door of that stall7" asked
Blister Jones. He pulled a straw
from a bale upon which we sat,
before replying.
The Big Trains in there" he
said quietly.
No; is that fact7" I cried. as
| jumped to my feet and walked to
the door across which were the
heavy wooden bars that had at
tracted my attention.
The straw rustled and a hinge
head shot forward into the planes
of moonlight that slanted between
the bars into the black mystery Of
the stall.
Never had I seen anything SO
malevolent as this head. It's eyes
were green flame.
The mouth was open, and the
great white teeth closed with a
snap on one Of the bars and shoox

So this was the noted man
killer, nfcknamed because Of his
size and his astonishing ability to

The sight of the poor sick face
