Chapter I
HE stole the young lady's purse when the train was about sixty miles out of Chicago.

He began by going into the day coach and standing in the aisle beside the girl's seat. A dozen other
passengers were already standing in the crowded coach, so he looked innocent enough.

A man named Brigham Pope was helping him.

Brigham Pope came into the coach.

He saw with displeased astonishment that Brigham Pope was carrying a baby, a small baby.

He hurried forward. While passing Brigham Pope, he whispered, тАЬTalk to you. Vestibule.тАЭ He went on
to the place between the cars, out of sight of the passengers, and waited there. Shortly Brigham Pope
joined him.

Brigham Pope was short, blond, rosy-cheeked, athletic. He had a feeling about Brigham Pope, a feeling
that if he ever learned the truth about the man, it would turn out that the fellow had once been an actor,
probably a low comic. Brigham Pope wore a checkered sport coat. Two minutes after they'd originally
met, Brigham Pope had told a dirty joke.

He asked Brigham Pope, тАЬWhere did you get the baby?тАЭ
тАЬBelongs to a woman a couple of cars back.тАЭ

тАЬYou fool!тАЭ he said bitterly. тАЬYou complete, utter fool!тАЭ
