"I don't think you'll be
bothered again."
The young lady was profuse in her thanks, and resumed her seat.
Presently the fellow on the floor got up and sneaked into another car,
without looking again at either Kit or the young lady.
"Hello, Kit! What was it all about?" asked Ted entering the car.
"Oh, I never could stand for red neckties, nohow," answered Kit
apologetically.
When the train stopped for dinner they all trooped into the station
dining room, and secured for themselves a long table, around which they
sat like a big and happy family.
As Ted and Kit were walking along the platform toward the dining room
Ted suddenly halted and stared at a man who was leaning against the wall
of the station.
"By Jove, I believe it's him!" he muttered.
"Who's him?" asked Kit.
"The express robber, Checkers," answered Ted. "And yet I'm not sure. If
it is him it's one of the best disguises I ever saw. Look at your friend
of the red necktie hurrying up to him. By Jove, they're a good pair! I
wish I could hear that fellow in the checked suit speak.
