“Because that’s where Gov. Bradley is, or where he went. I think, Dinsmore, that I shall have to hunt for your governor, as well as for the thieves who stole the papers. I hope I may find the governor alive.”
“Good gracious! what——”
“Look up the trains, please. I want to catch the first that goes.”
With a wondering face, Dinsmore studied a railway guide for a few minutes.
Presently, he looked at his watch.
“There’s a train in half an hour,” he said, “that will get you pretty well started, and you can probably make connections that will take you through so as to reach Helena in about thirty hours. Will that do?”
“How can I tell? I must take that train, and I think, Dinsmore, it would be as well if you should come along, too.”
“I’ll do it, gladly.”
“Anything to do to get ready?”
“No.”
