twelve o'clock
Not till the roadbuilders heard the heavy drop of the big cars on the new rail joints did they realize that the first train of fruit was already crossing the break . Ten minutes afterward Bucks , who was with Mr. Brock in the directors ' car , had the news in a message . The manager had agreed to have Glover present for the supper which was now waiting , and for some time messengers and telegrams passed from the Brock Special to the cañon . It was not until twelve o'clock that they learned definitely through word from Morris Blood that Glover had torn his hand slightly in handling powder and had gone to Medicine Bend to have it dressed . If Glover 's aim in disappearing had been to escape the embarrassment of Mrs. Whitney 's attentions the effort was successful only in part . Lanning and Harrison left in the morning in charge of Bill Dancing to join the hunting party in the Park , and Mr. Brock finding himself within a few hours ' ride of Medicine Bend decided to run down . Late in the afternoon the Pittsburg train drew up at the Wickiup .
