"Why don't you call up the division superintendent and ask his office to stop the eight-ten?"
Bell looked at his mistress. "I might do that, sir."
"Oh, can you?" cried Alice.
"You ought to have done it without being told, Bell," observed Kimberly. "You've done such things before."
"Might I use your name, sir?"
"Use whatever is necessary to get him. And ask them to hunt up the juggler in the waiting-room and put him aboard. Who is he?"
"A China boy, sir, I understand."
"In that case, they could not miss him."
The butler left the room. "Do you think they will do it?" asked Alice anxiously.
"Don't give it further thought. We could get him out on a special if necessary."
