He informs his wife of danger that threatens him if he pursues a course he considers the only honorable one. Warden leaves the house in his cdr and meets a man whom he takes into the ma- chine. When the cer returns home, Warden is found dead, murdered, and alone. The caller, a young man, has been at Warden's house, but leaves unobserved. Bob Con- nery, conductor, receives orders to hold train for a party. Five men and a girl board the train, the Eastern Express. The father of the girl, Mr. Dorne, is the person for whom the train was held. Philip I>. Eaton, a young man, also boarded the train. Dorne tells his daughter and his secretary, Don Avery, to find out what they can concerning him The two make Eaton's acquaintance.

He had taken that train for a certain definite, dangerous purpose which re. quired his remaining as obscure and aus inconspicuous as possible; yet al ready he had been singled out for at tention. So far, he was sure, he had received no more than that-—atten. tion, curlosity concerning him. He ‘had not suffered recognition; but that might come at any moment. Could he risk longer walting to act? He dropped on his back on the bed and lay with his hands clasped under his head, his eyes staring up at the roof of the car, in the eard-room of the observation ear, playing and conversation still went on for a time; then It dimin- ¥ * ished as one by one the passengers went away to bed, Connery, looking into this car, found ‘It empty and the porter cleaning up; he slowly passed on farward through the train, stopping momentarily in the rear Pullman op- posite the berth of the passenger whom President Jarvis had commend- ed to his care. His scrutiny of the car told him all was correct here: the even breathing within the berth as sured him the passengers slept. Connery had been becoming more certain hour by hour all through the evening that they were going to have great difficulty In getting the train through. Though he knew by Presi dent Jarvis’ mote that the officials of the road must be watching the prog. ress of this especial train with par ticular Interest, he had received no train orders from the west for sev- eral hours.

CHAPTER IV . o— Are You Hillward? The bell In the washroom “wt ai with a stentorlan call for Porter I™ Eaton realized that It was very cold in his berth—also that the train, which was standing still, had been In that motionless condition for some time. He threw up the window curs tain as he appreciated that, and, gook- ing out, found that he faced a great unbroken bank of glistening white snow as high as the top of the car at this point and rising even higher ahead. He listened, therefore, while the Englishman-—for the voice calling to the porter was his—extracted all available information from the negro. “Porter, where are we?” “Between Fracroft “and suh.” “Yet? “Yessuh, yit!"” “That foolish snow still? “Yessuh; and snow geome more, suh?’ “But haven't we the plow stil] ahead 7’ - “Oh, yessuh: the plow's ahald.

He had let himself sink back against the pillows, while he stared, unseeingly, at the solld bank of snow beside the car, when the door at the farther end of the coach opened and Conductor Con nery entered, calling a name. “Mr. Hillward! Mr, Lawrence Hill- ward! Telegram for Mr. Hillward!” Eaton started at the first call of the name; he sat up and faced about. The conducter was opposite Section Three; Eaton now walted tensely and delayed until the conductor was past; then putting his head out of his cur tains he hailed as the conductor was going through the door. “What name? Who gram for?" “Mr. Lawrence Hillward."” “Oh, thank you: then that's mine” Connery held back, “I thought your name was Eaton.” “i Mr. Hillward expected to but could not is that tele is. make this trip with So I should have other tele ad- Is there anything to grams or communications dressed to him. sign?

She pulled back the chair beside her enticingly : and Eaton accepted It, “Good morning, Mr. Avery,” he sald to Miss Dorne's companion formally as he sat down, and the man across the table murmured something per. force. As Eaton ordered his breakfast, he appreciated for the first time that his coming had interrupted a conversa. tion——or rather a sort of monologue of complaint on the part of Standish ‘addressed impersonally to Avery.

Why, only that I'm Lawrence Hillward-—that's all, my friend! What are you up to, anyway? Lawrence Hillward traveling with you!

The porter had made uj all the berths there aiso, gxcept one; but someone was still sleeping behind the curtains of Section Three, for a man’s hand hung over the aisle. It was an gentleman's hand, with long, well-formed fingers, sensitive and at the same time strong.
