He must be able to show that he had money . He sighed heavily and turned his back definitely upon a dining-car breakfast . After that he went to sleep . At noon he was awake and too ravenous to worry so much over the possibility of being arrested for complicity in a murder .

He raced back through two chair cars and a tourist sleeper , and he entered the dining car with an emphasis that kept the screen door swinging for a full half minute . He tipped the waiter who came to fill his water glass , and told him to wake up and show some speed .
