“Hey, you,” said Bud. “There's a telegram at the office for you.”
“For me?”
“Your name's Joe Smith, ain't it?”
“Yes.”
“Well, that's what it says.”
Hal considered for a moment. There was no one to be telegraphing Joe Smith. It was only a ruse to get him away.
“What's in the telegram?” he asked.
“How do I know?” said Bud.
“Where is it from?”
“I dunno that.”
