The committee, after two years of
investigation of more than forty con-

CHAPTER VII
suspieion Fastens on Eaton.


Eaton found his car better filed
than it had been before, for the people
shifted from the car behind had been
scattered through the train. Keeping
himself to his section, he watched the
car and outside the windows for
signs of what investigation COnnery
and Avery were making. Whoever
had attacked SantOine must still be
upon the train, for no one could have
escaped through the snow. No one
could now escape. Avery and COnnery
and whoever else was making investi
gatiOOn with them evidently were not
letting anyone know that an investi-
cation was being made. Eaton went
to lunch; on his way back from the
diner, he saw the conductors with pa
perS in their hands questioning a pas
senger. They evidently were starting
Systematically through the cars, exam
lining each person; they were making
the plea of necessity Of a report to
the railroad offices of names and ad-
dresses of all held up by the stOppage
of the train.
Eaton started on toward the rear
of the train.

Eaton halted. The conductor con-
frOnted him.

She looked at Eaton, but did not
speak as she passed., she went di-
rectly to the door of the drawing
room, opened it and went in, followed
by Avery. The door closed, and for
a moment Eaton could hear voices in
side the room-Harriet SantOine's,
Sinclair's, Connery's. The conductor
then came to the door Of the drawing
room and sent the porter for water
and clean linen; Eaton heard the rip

Donald Avery came out of the draw

across from Eaton. He seemed deep

be almost unaware of Eaton's pres
ence. And Eaton, observing him,
again had the sense that Avery's alb

his stay in the West was more than
suggestive that affairs among the

Warden had proclaimed; this attack
upon SantOine, so similar to that
which had slain Warden, and deliv-
cred within eleven days of Warden's
death must be of the gravest signifi-
canoe.
CoHnery stood overwhelmed for the
moment with this fuller recognition
of the seriousness of the disaster
which had come upon this man in
trusted to his charge; then he turned
TO the surgeon.
"Can you do anything for him here,
Doctor" he asked.
The surgeon glanced down the car.

served.
Eaton controlled himself "A
sock !" he said again, reflectively.
He felt suddenly a rough tap upon
his shoulder, and turning, saw that
Donald Avery had come out upon the
platform and was standing beside
him; and behind Avery he saw Con-
ductOr COnnery. There was no one
else on the platform.
"Will you tell me, Mr.. EatOn-Or
whatever else your name may be
what it is that you have been asking
Miss SantOine?" Avery demanded
harshly. Harry, what has this man
been saying to you"
''Mr EatOn?" Her gaze went won
deringly from Avery to Eaton and
back again. "Why-why, Don! He
has only been asking me what we had

And you told him." Avery swung
toward Eaton 'You dOg!" he mouth
ed. Harriet, he asked you that be-

Eaton's fists clenched; but sudden

Harriet, not yet cOmprehending, stood
staring at the two; then Eaton saw
the blood rush to her face and dye
forehead and cheek and neck as she
understood.
"Not here, Mr.. Avery; not herel"
Conductor Connery put his hand on
Eaton's arm. "COme with me, SIR"
he commanded.
Eaton thought anXiOusly for mo-
ment He looked to Harriet SantOine
as though about to say something to
her, but he did not speak; instead, he
quietly followed the conductor. As
they passed through the observation
car into the car ahead, he heard the
footsteps of Harriet Santoine and
Avery close behind him.
