"You've taken pretty good care of it so far," he said. "I guess you've a better right to it than I. Only don't let anybody know you've got it. Now, I've been making inquiries, and I've found out a few things, but I've about come to the conclusion that I can't do much without seeing the lady. Do you suppose she would see me? Is she very far away?"
"When do you want to go?" asked Jane.
"At once," he answered decidedly. "There's no time to waste if she is really in danger, as you think."
Jane's eyes glittered with satisfaction.
"There's a train at ten-thirty. You'll get there in the morning. I've written it all down here on a paper so you can't make any mistakes. I've written her a letter so she'll understand and tell you everythin'. I'll wire Ma, too, so she'll let you see her. Ma might not size you up right."
Reyburn wondered at the way he accepted his orders from this coolly impudent girl, but he liked her in spite of himself.
In a few minutes more he was out in the street again, hurrying to his own apartment, where he put together a few necessities in a bag and went to the train.
