CHAPTER XIII
The young man was in a state of
excitement which he with no little
difficulty concealed. He was as sure
that the man about whom the station-
master had been telegraphing for was
before him as he was that he him-
self was not the Emperor of China.
"I have hint in a band," said he, in
his own mind; "like a eat has a
mouse, like a snake has a bird, like
a money -lender has his victim. I'll
play with him, I'll Iead him on; get
him to miss his train, keep him here
till old Cotton lines up, then hand
him over bag and baggage to the
police. If he atempts to cut I'll fall
on him and pin him down.
"There's a heap of rubbish talked
about bluff and things in these days,
isn't there?" said the young man.
"I beg your pardon," answered the
traveller politely. "I didn't quite
hear what you said."
"I say," added Mr. Filler, rapidly,
"there's a heap of stuff and rubbish
talked about art and things in these
days." What he actually had said
had slipped from him unawares while
thinking of the advisability of pur-
suing with his companion a policy
of "bluff," with some vague hope of
extracting from him, there and then,
some shadowy confession.
"I am entirely of your: opinion,"
said the traveller.
"Much on the line, sir," asked the
operator.
"Not very," answerers the_
travel-
ler.
ler.
"Folks are safer in bed than in a
night express," proceeded the opera-
tor.
"Do you think so?" asked the tra-
veller.
"I do, sir, and I've good reason for
thinking it, too. Some queer things
happen on the line."
" o I s1101irt think. V--
start-` .. r name is—double f, y,
_use 1, e, r,—rather an uncommon
name, sir; I always think it sounds
as if it might have belonged to a
man who came over with the Con-
querer. And your name—I forgot
what you said it was."
"I never mentioned it," said the
passenger coolly.
"Didn't you—eh—ah, didn't I un-
derstand you to say it was Beldon?"
went on the operator, boldly, sudden-
ly recollecting that he had heard the
station -master say that the name of
the strange passenger had been given
as Beldon,
"If you understood anything of the
sort it was not because of anything
I said, Mr. Filler."
"Of course not, of course not,"
said the young man hastily; "I was
simply confusing you in my mind
with another gentleman who alighted
here an hour or two ago from the
9.16 down express."
"Indeed," said his companion,
pleasantly, "And am I so much like
that individual as to make you im-
agine that he and I are one?"
"So much like him that you might
have been his twin brother," replied
the operator.
"You saw him then?" asked the
passenger, with growing interest.
"Just for a second," said Mr. Fil-
