CHAPTER WI
Tho Lost 1915

When Kirgan told me he was
shy a whole locomotive, began to
see all sorts Of fireworks. OF course,
there was nothing on earth to connect
the boss disappearance with that of
the engine which had been left stand
ing below the coal chutes, but the two
things snapped themselves together
for me like the halves Of an auto
matte coupling, and I couldn't wedge
them apart.
IAN engine-even little old Attain
tic-type-is pretty big thing to lose,
isn't 1t, Kirgan" l asked.
Kirgan righted his chair with q

sanding at the western end Of the
Portal City yards, we didn't try to
trace 1t eastward. To get out in that
he round-house, the shops, the pas
Senger station and the headquarters
building, and even at that time of
night, somebody would have been sure
to see 1t.
Tracing the other way-westward-
we had a clear track for ten miles to
Arroyo. Arroyo had no night opera
tor. so we agreed that the stolen en-
CINE might easily have slipped past
there without being marked down.
Eight miles beyond Arroyo we came
to Banta, the first night station west
Of Portal City. Here. as we figured
1t, the wild engine must have been
seen by the operator, if by no one
else. Banta was an apple town, and
the town Itself might have been
asleep, but the wire man at the sta
ton shouldn't have been.

other the thieves managed to get BY"

ber-against the Fast Mail coming
east. The Mail didn't pass her any.
where-not officially, at least; II it
had, the fact would show up in some
stations report to the dispatchers
office"
At this, we hunted up an official
time-card and began to figure ON the
meet" proposition. The Fast Mail
was due at Portal City at twelve
twenty. and on the night in question
1t had been ON time. Making due
time allowances for inaccuracy In the
yard watchman's story. the missing
engine could hardly have left the
Portal City yard much before ten
forty-fve.
The Fast Mail was scheduled at
forty miles an hour. Its time at Banta
was eleven-flfty-three. Allowing the
1O18 the same rate Of speed in the
opposite direction, 1t would have
passed Banta at eleven-twelve or there
abouts. Hence there would still be
forty-one minutes running time to be
divided between the eastbound train
and the westbound engine. In other
words. the meeting-point. with the two
running at the same speed. would fall
