He moved away from them, and sat down in one of the seats furthor down the car, Con- hery came out from the drawing - room, went first to one end of the car, then to the other; and returning with the Pullman conductor, began to over- seo the transfer of the baggage of all other passengers than the & party to vacant sections in the for- ward sleepers, People begs through the aisle; evidently the car doors had been unlocked, Baton got up and left the car, finding at the door a porter from one of the other cars stationed to warn people not to linger or speak or make other noises in coing through the car where San- toine was. As the door was closing behind Eaton a sound came to his ears from the car he had just left-—a young girl suddenly crying in abandon. CHAPTER VIII, JATON found his car better filled than it had been be- fore, for the poople shifted from the car behind had been scattered through the train. Eaton went to lunch, On his way back from the diner, he saw the con- ductors with papers in thelr hands questioning a passenger, They evi- dently were starting systematically through the cars, examining each per- son. As Eton halted at hig section the two conductors finivhed with the man from the rear Who had been installed in Section One, and they the Englishman opposite. Baton heard them explain the need of making # report and beard the Englishman's answer, with his name, his address y and particulars as to who he was, where he was coming from and whither he was going. “Your name, sir?” Connery asked, “Philip D, Eaton,’ Connery wrote down the answer, “Your address?” “[e-have no addre: “You mean you don’t want to give ier" », L have none, I was going to iicago—which one I hadn't a hotel in ( de you coming from? at's hardly an address, Mr, Ba- “L can give you no address abroad, T had no fixed address there.

Then he sald something to the Pullman conductor, who replied tn the same low tone, What they sald was not audible to Eaton, “You can tell us at least where your family 1s, Mr. Eaton,” Connery sug- gested. 5 “I have no family." “Friends, then? I—I havo no friend “What?” “I say that I can refer you to no Nowhere Connery spoke again to the Pullman conductor, and they conversed inaud- ibly for a minute. “That is all, then,” Connery said finally As Eaton pretended to read, could hear behind him the low Voices of the conductors, whieb grew fainter and fainter as they moved further away, section by section, down the car. Finally, when the con- ductors had left the car, he put his azing away and went Into tho iment to smoke and calm his nerves.

Suddenly he noticed that one of his socks was missing. What had been eleven pairs was now only ten pairs and one odd sock. The disappearance of a single sock Was so strange, so bizarre, per- plexing that—unless it was accidental he could not account for it at all. No one opens @ man’s bag and steals one sock, and he was quite sure there had been eleven complete pairs there ! earlier in the day. Certainly then, It had been acctdental; the bag had been opened, its contents taken out and examined, and in putting them back, one sock had bi unnoticed The absence of the sock, then meant no more than that the nis of the bug had been thoroug d Eaton?
