"'Yes, sir,' said I, as soon as I got my senses.
"It was a tall young gentleman, as I could see by the light through the window, and the train was standing still.
"'Then come along with me,' said he. 'It's half past five in the morning, and this is Washington. You've only about twelve minutes to eat your breakfast in.'
"Then I knew I'd been found, and do you know it almost took away my strength. We were in the railway restaurant, and I was eating like a starving man before I had a chance to ask any questions, and then it was the gentleman who did the asking.
"'Have you come far?' said he.
"'Come far!' said I; 'I was carried past Winter Park. Didn't you know?'
"'I didn't know anything about it,' said he. 'I'm just obeying orders. I got this telegram only about two hours ago.' And he laid on the table a telegram which read:
"'To Fred Roblin,
Washington.
"'Mrs. Plant desires you to find Frank Howell, a boy probably coming North in her car in Train 14. See that he has breakfast and anything else he wants, and send him on to New York. Telegraph Seminole Hotel as soon as found.
