five o'clock
During the evening Uncle John was busy at the telegraph booth . He sent several messages to Leadville , to Anson Jones , to the Chief of Police and to the various hotels ; but long before midnight , when the last replies were received , he knew that Anson Jones had left Leadville five months ago , and his present whereabouts were unknown . Having learned these facts the little man went to bed and slept peacefully until morning . Myrtle had begged them to see that she was called at five o'clock , that she might have ample time to get to the depot for her train , but no one called her and the poor child was so weary and worn with her trip that the soft bed enthralled her for many hours after daybreak . Patsy finally aroused her , opening the blinds to let in the sunshine and then sitting beside Myrtle 's bed to stroke her fair hair and tell her it was nearly noon . `` But my train ! '' wailed the girl , greatly distressed .
