"Where?"
"On the platform of the front car!"
Before he could say anything more the train steamed out, leaving the would-be young fakir staring at it in distress and consternation.
"Of course it wasn't him," Sam said, confidently, when the last car had disappeared from view. "The stuff he was goin'to buy for you is here in the baggage-room, 'cause he said so, an' we'll see him before long."
"See! I'm certain that's the man who has got my money."
Teddy's suspicions had been aroused, and he was not easily quieted. The thought that it was possible he might have lost the money loaned him by Uncle Nathan was sufficient to cause the liveliest fear, and he said, decidedly:
"I'm going to know where that man's baggage went to."
"How'll you find out?"
"Ask the baggage-master."
