"I don't know of any branch of the B. & M. hereabouts," ruminated the young express agent "certainly none corresponding to this is on the map. It is not in regular use, but that hand car looks as if it was doing service right along." No one was in sight about the place, yet lying in plain view on the hand car were three or four coats and jumpers and as many dinner pails.

Then all hands set to work arranging the furniture, and by the time supper was ready the house was completely furnished.
