So
reasoned
the
detective
,
while
the
hours
crept
by
all
too
slowly
.
He
did
not
know
what
to
do
.
Sometimes
he
was
tempted
to
tell
Aouda
all
;
but
he
could
not
doubt
how
the
young
woman
would
receive
his
confidences
.
What
course
should
he
take
?
He
thought
of
pursuing
Fogg
across
the
vast
white
plains
;
it
did
not
seem
impossible
that
he
might
overtake
him
.
Footsteps
were
easily
printed
on
the
snow
!
But
soon
,
under
a
new
sheet
,
every
imprint
would
be
effaced
.
Fix
became
discouraged
.
He
felt
a
sort
of
insurmountable
longing
to
abandon
the
game
altogether
.
He
could
now
leave
Fort
Kearney
station
,
and
pursue
his
journey
homeward
in
peace
.
Towards
two
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
,
while
it
was
snowing
hard
,
long
whistles
were
heard
approaching
from
the
east
.
A
great
shadow
,
preceded
by
a
wild
light
,
slowly
advanced
,
appearing
still
larger
through
the
mist
,
which
gave
it
a
fantastic
aspect
.
No
train
was
expected
from
the
east
,
neither
had
there
been
time
for
the
succour
asked
for
by
telegraph
to
arrive
;
the
train
from
Omaha
to
San
Francisco
was
not
due
till
the
next
day
.
The
mystery
was
soon
explained
.
The
locomotive
,
which
was
slowly
approaching
with
deafening
whistles
,
was
that
which
,
having
been
detached
from
the
train
,
had
continued
its
route
with
such
terrific
rapidity
,
carrying
off
the
unconscious
engineer
and
stoker
.
It
had
run
several
miles
,
when
,
the
fire
becoming
low
for
want
of
fuel
,
the
steam
had
slackened
;
and
it
had
finally
stopped
an
hour
after
,
some
twenty
miles
beyond
Fort
Kearney
.
Neither
the
engineer
nor
the
stoker
was
dead
,
and
,
after
remaining
for
some
time
in
their
swoon
,
had
come
to
themselves
.
The
train
had
then
stopped
.
The
engineer
,
when
he
found
himself
in
the
desert
,
and
the
locomotive
without
cars
,
understood
what
had
happened
.
He
could
not
imagine
how
the
locomotive
had
become
separated
from
the
train
;
but
he
did
not
doubt
that
the
train
left
behind
was
in
distress
.
He
did
not
hesitate
what
to
do
.
It
would
be
prudent
to
continue
on
to
Omaha
,
for
it
would
be
dangerous
to
return
to
the
train
,
which
the
Indians
might
still
be
engaged
in
pillaging
.
Nevertheless
,
he
began
to
rebuild
the
fire
in
the
furnace
;
the
pressure
again
mounted
,
and
the
locomotive
returned
,
running
backwards
to
Fort
Kearney
.
This
it
was
which
was
whistling
in
the
mist
.
The
travellers
were
glad
to
see
the
locomotive
resume
its
place
at
the
head
of
the
train
.
They
could
now
continue
the
journey
so
terribly
interrupted
.
Aouda
,
on
seeing
the
locomotive
come
up
,
hurried
out
of
the
station
,
and
asked
the
conductor
,
"
Are
you
going
to
start
?
"
"
At
once
,
madam
.
"
"
But
the
prisoners
,
our
unfortunate
fellow-travellers
--
