noon
We wo n't risk the jolt of driving with him . The others clear a path out to the road ; and Mr. McLean , you take Nellie and ride to town . Tell my father how Freckles is hurt and that he risked it to save me . Tell him I 'm going to take Freckles to Chicago on the noon train , and I want him to hold it if we are a little late . If he ca n't , then have a special ready at the station and another on the Pittsburgh at Fort Wayne , so we can go straight through . You need n't mind leaving us . The Bird Woman will be here soon .
