CHAPTER XXVIII.
AN EXCITING INTERVIEW.
As the carriage rolled away Al and the cabman stood and stared at each other. Then the latter burst into a loud laugh.
"Well, sir," he said, "this is the funniest job I have had for many a long day."
Al failed to appreciate the humor of the situation.
"It does not strike me as being particularly funny," he said.
"It doesn't?"
"Decidedly not. Why did you lose sight of the other cab?"
"Why, you explained that yourself just now. The two carriages looked just alike; I believe they were the same."
"No, they were not. The man I saw looking from the window of the carriage that passed the Grand Central Depot was not the man we have just been talking to."
