About four o'clock in the morning
In a dreamy way I meditated over what had occurred . I could not help but think that the handkerchief I had found spread over my face had been saturated with chloroform , and that my fellow-passenger had endeavored to put me in a sound sleep and then rifle my bag . Of course I might be mistaken , but still I was positive that Mr. Allen Price would bear watching . About four o'clock in the morning the train came to a sudden stop . The jar was so pronounced that it woke nearly all of the passengers . Thinking that possibly we had arrived at our destination , I raised the window and peered out . Instead of being in the heart of a city , however , I soon discovered we were in a belt of timber land .
