This done he went to bed and slept soundly until awakened at six o'clock.
Half an hour later he was at the depot, and took a seat in the smoking-car.
Neither Bob nor Sam were there; but they arrived five minutes before the train left, and seated themselves some distance from Jet.
From that time until considerably past noon the boy could do no more than watch his men; but he was well content, knowing they had no suspicion as to being followed.
Then the end of the first stage of the journey was finished, and the real work of trailing the human game began.
Jet loitered around the station asking questions relative to the best way of getting into the woods, but all the while keeping his eye on the men.
Their movements puzzled him.
Neither appeared to be in any hurry to leave the town.

A boy about his own age was standing near the depot platform eying Jet curiously, and the latter asked, more as an excuse for remaining where he was than anything else.
