“Train Arrives approximately 11:25.”
“What does that mean?” the sheriff inquired. “We have no trains at Pine Top.”
“We’ll see,” chuckled Penny.
She showed the men the vault filled with furs, and pressed the spring which opened the wall panel.
“Be careful in descending the stairway,” she warned. “I know they have one guard down there and possibly others.”
Sheriff Clausson and his men went ahead of Penny. The guard, taken completely by surprise, was captured without a shot being fired.
“Now what have we here?” the sheriff inquired, peering into the dimly lighted tunnel.
As far as one could see stretched a narrow, rusted track with an extra rail.
“A miniature electric railway!” exclaimed the sheriff.
“How far is it from here to the border?” inquired Penny thoughtfully.
