noon
To this man , when he came by the midnight train , Duncan said : `` I must know who are the stockholders in the Quentin mine -- both those of record and those whose names do not appear on the stock books . If possible I must know also what each stockholder actually paid for his shares . You must hurry . I must have this information by noon to-morrow . You 'll need to use money perhaps . Here 's stake for expenses . Come back on the noon train to-morrow . ''
