A part of this conversation took place on the platform of the railroad-station, and a part while they were walking in the direction of the hotel. They had now reached the village inn, and, bidding our hero good morning, Mr. Armstrong entered, and registered his name. Ten minutes later he set out for the house of Prince Duncan. Mr. Duncan had been dreading the inevitable interview with Mr.
An instant later he had the reins, swung the frightened horse across the gutter and around into the road, and continued his flight in the direction of the railroad-station. The constables, leading the pursuing voters by a few lengths, found Colonel Ward sitting up in the ditch and gaping in utter amazement and dire wrath at the turn of the road where Cap'n Sproul had swept out of sight.
"Happened about ten this mornin'. Some man caught him alone in the railroad-station and blowed his head half-off." "Do tell!" was Allen's exclamation. "Yep," continued the Sheriff. "He must have pulled a gun on the fellow. He put up some sort of a fight, as the room is some mussed up." "Robbery?" queried Polly, with wide-open eyes. "That's what!" answered Slim, turning to her.

The same thing has happened at six hundred and thirty-two other improbable places.
Had a good opportunity offered, I am inclined to think Nancy would have been willing to change her name. After all, she was only forty-nine, and I have known more than one to surrender single blessedness with all its charms at and beyond that age. At last the day of departure came. Valise in hand, Walter jumped aboard the stage that was to convey him to the railroad-station.
He would not talk to me in Latin nor throw off technical phrases about great nothings, and I would feel just as much at home with him as I did with Ol' John Burroughs the last time I saw him, leaning up against a country railroad-station in shirt-sleeves, chewing a straw, exchanging salutes with the engineer on a West Shore jerkwater.
It paused briefly before the railroad-station, neither discharging nor taking on a passenger, then clanged protestingly on its way.
