The conductor, when he came through the train collecting tickets, was somewhat taken aback at the sight of Matt and McGlory. “Where’d you get on?” he inquired, looking the boys over and grinning a little at McGlory’s bare head and dress suit. “At Leeville,” said Matt. “There was only one man got on at Leeville. I didn’t see you.”
