noon
There were no visible signs of robbery , and Billy Little determined to tell no one of his loss . The first question that confronted him in the morning was , what should be done about the loss of Dic 's gold ? That proposition he quickly settled . He went across the road to the inn , got his breakfast , returned to his room , donned his broadcloth coat , made thirty years before in London , took from his strong-box notes to the amount of twenty-six hundred dollars , and left for Indianapolis by the noon stage . At Indianapolis he sold the notes and brought back Dic 's gold . This he kept in his iron box during the day and under his pillow at night . * * * * * The household effects of the Bays family were placed in two wagons to be taken to Indianapolis .
