standing in the waiting room of the Union Station at St. Louis, the
metropolis of Missouri, whither he had been summoned by a letter from
the chief of the United States secret service.
He was waiting for Bud Morgan, who had gone to the baggage room to

trains, with which the numerous tracks were full from end to end.
