Well
,
they
wouldn
’
t
use
the
emergency
brakes
for
that
,
would
they
?
Why
,
this
train
stopped
almost
in
her
own
length
.
Pretty
near
slung
me
out
the
berth
.
Those
were
the
emergency
brakes
.
I
heard
some
one
say
so
.
”
From
far
out
towards
the
front
of
the
train
,
near
the
locomotive
,
came
the
sharp
,
incisive
report
of
a
revolver
;
then
two
more
almost
simultaneously
;
then
,
after
a
long
interval
,
a
fourth
.
“
Say
,
that
’
s
SHOOTING
.
By
God
,
boys
,
they
’
re
shooting
.
Say
,
this
is
a
hold
-
up
.
”
Instantly
a
white
-
hot
excitement
flared
from
end
to
end
of
the
car
.
Incredibly
sinister
,
heard
thus
in
the
night
,
and
in
the
rain
,
mysterious
,
fearful
,
those
four
pistol
shots
started
confusion
from
out
the
sense
of
security
like
a
frightened
rabbit
hunted
from
her
burrow
.
Wide
-
eyed
,
the
passengers
of
the
car
looked
into
each
other
’
s
faces
.
It
had
come
to
them
at
last
,
this
,
they
had
so
often
read
about
.
Now
they
were
to
see
the
real
thing
,
now
they
were
to
face
actuality
,
face
this
danger
of
the
night
,
leaping
in
from
out
the
blackness
of
the
roadside
,
masked
,
armed
,
ready
to
kill
.
They
were
facing
it
now
.
They
were
held
up
.
Hilma
said
nothing
,
only
catching
Annixter
’
s
hand
,
looking
squarely
into
his
eyes
.
“
Steady
,
little
girl
,
”
he
said
.
“
They
can
’
t
hurt
you
.
I
won
’
t
leave
you
.
By
the
Lord
,
”
he
suddenly
exclaimed
,
his
excitement
getting
the
better
of
him
for
a
moment
.
“
By
the
Lord
,
it
’
s
a
hold
-
up
.
”
The
school
-
teachers
were
in
the
aisle
of
the
car
,
in
night
gown
,
wrapper
,
and
dressing
sack
,
huddled
together
like
sheep
,
holding
on
to
each
other
,
looking
to
the
men
,
silently
appealing
for
protection
.
Two
of
them
were
weeping
,
white
to
the
lips
.
“
Oh
,
oh
,
oh
,
it
’
s
terrible
.
Oh
,
if
they
only
won
’
t
hurt
me
.
