But
be
patient
,
friends
,
for
the
answer
will
surely
come
,
and
by
writing
to
me
you
more
than
repay
me
for
the
pleasant
task
of
preparing
these
books
.
Besides
,
I
am
proud
to
acknowledge
that
the
books
are
partly
yours
,
for
your
suggestions
often
guide
me
in
telling
the
stories
,
and
I
am
sure
they
would
not
be
half
so
good
without
your
clever
and
thoughtful
assistance
.

The
train
from
Frisco
was
very
late
.
It
should
have
arrived
at
Hugson
s
Siding
at
midnight
,
but
it
was
already
five
o
clock
and
the
gray
dawn
was
breaking
in
the
east
when
the
little
train
slowly
rumbled
up
to
the
open
shed
that
served
for
the
station
-
house
.
As
it
came
to
a
stop
the
conductor
called
out
in
a
loud
voice
:
15
"
Hugson
s
Siding
!
"
16
At
once
a
little
girl
rose
from
her
seat
and
walked
to
the
door
of
the
car
,
carrying
a
wicker
suit
-
case
in
one
hand
and
a
round
bird
-
cage
covered
up
with
newspapers
in
the
other
,
while
a
parasol
was
tucked
under
her
arm
.
The
conductor
helped
her
off
the
car
and
then
the
engineer
started
his
train
again
,
so
that
it
puffed
and
groaned
and
moved
slowly
away
up
the
track
.
The
reason
he
was
so
late
was
because
all
through
the
night
there
were
times
when
the
solid
earth
shook
and
trembled
under
him
,
and
the
engineer
was
afraid
that
at
any
moment
the
rails
might
spread
apart
and
an
accident
happen
to
his
passengers
.
So
he
moved
the
cars
slowly
and
with
caution
.
17
The
little
girl
stood
still
to
watch
until
the
train
had
disappeared
around
a
curve
;
then
she
turned
to
see
where
she
was
.

The
shed
at
Hugson
s
Siding
was
bare
save
for
an
old
wooden
bench
,
and
did
not
look
very
inviting
.
As
she
peered
through
the
soft
gray
light
not
a
house
of
any
sort
was
visible
near
the
station
,
nor
was
any
person
in
sight
;
but
after
a
while
the
child
discovered
a
horse
and
buggy
standing
near
a
group
of
trees
a
short
distance
away
.
She
walked
toward
it
and
found
the
horse
tied
to
a
tree
and
standing
motionless
,
with
its
head
hanging
down
almost
to
the
ground
.
19
It
was
a
big
horse
,
tall
and
bony
,
with
long
legs
and
large
knees
and
feet
.
She
could
count
his
ribs
easily
where
they
showed
through
the
skin
of
his
body
,
and
his
head
was
long
and
seemed
altogether
too
big
for
him
,
as
if
it
did
not
fit
.
His
tail
was
short
and
scraggly
,
and
his
harness
had
been
broken
in
many
places
and
fastened
together
again
with
cords
and
bits
of
wire
.
The
buggy
seemed
almost
new
,
for
it
had
a
shiny
top
and
side
curtains
.
Getting
around
in
front
,
so
that
she
could
look
inside
,
the
girl
saw
a
boy
curled
up
on
the
seat
,
fast
asleep
.
20
She
set
down
the
bird
-
cage
and
poked
the
boy
with
her
parasol
.
Presently
he
woke
up
,
rose
to
a
sitting
position
and
rubbed
his
eyes
briskly
.
