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.

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- 7!
