I
heard
it
aboard
the
Comet
,
"
he
said
.
"
At
a
small
station
in
the
middle
of
New
Mexico
.
The
conductor
held
us
there
for
an
hour
,
while
I
helped
him
to
check
the
story
on
long
-
distance
phones
.
He
was
hit
by
the
news
just
as
I
was
.
They
all
were
—
the
train
crew
,
the
station
agent
,
the
switchmen
.
They
huddled
around
me
while
I
called
the
city
rooms
of
newspapers
in
Denver
and
New
York
.
We
didn
’
t
learn
much
.
Only
that
you
had
left
the
Afton
airfield
just
before
dawn
on
May
thirty
-
first
,
that
you
seemed
to
be
following
some
stranger
’
s
plane
,
that
the
attendant
had
seen
you
go
off
southeast
—
and
that
nobody
had
seen
you
since
.
.
.
And
that
searching
parties
were
combing
the
Rockies
for
the
wreckage
of
your
plane
.
"
She
asked
involuntarily
,
"
Did
the
Comet
reach
San
Francisco
?
"
"
I
don
’
t
know
.
She
was
crawling
north
through
Arizona
,
when
I
gave
up
.
There
were
too
many
delays
,
too
many
things
going
wrong
,
and
a
total
confusion
of
orders
.
I
got
off
and
spent
the
night
hitchhiking
my
way
to
Colorado
,
bumming
rides
on
trucks
,
on
buggies
,
on
horse
carts
,
to
get
there
on
time
—
to
get
to
our
meeting
place
,
I
mean
,
where
we
gather
for
Midas
’
ferry
plane
to
pick
us
up
and
bring
us
here
.
"
She
started
walking
slowly
up
the
path
toward
the
car
she
had
left
in
front
of
Hammond
’
s
Grocery
Market
.
Kellogg
followed
,
and
when
he
spoke
again
,
his
voice
dropped
a
little
,
slowing
down
with
their
steps
,
as
if
there
were
something
they
both
wished
to
delay
.
"
I
got
a
job
for
Jeff
Alien
,
"
he
said
;
his
voice
had
the
peculiarly
solemn
tone
proper
for
saying
:
I
have
carried
out
your
last
will
.
"
Your
agent
at
Laurel
grabbed
him
and
put
him
to
work
the
moment
we
got
there
.
The
agent
needed
every
able
-
bodied
—
no
,
able
-
minded
—
man
he
could
find
.
"
They
had
reached
the
car
,
but
she
did
not
get
in
.
"
Miss
Taggart
,
you
weren
’
t
hurt
badly
,
were
you
?
Did
you
say
you
crashed
,
but
it
wasn
’
t
serious
?
"
