"Promise me to act more civilly in future."

"Yes. Yes. Certainly I shall."

"Then I'll let you go. Let this be a lesson to you. Now, where did he go?"

"He bought a ticket to New York."

"Why didn't you save all this bother by saying so in the first place?"

"I--I--I don't know," stammered the fellow in subdued tones.

Giving him a look of contempt, Old King Brady purchased a ticket for New
York, and said in angry tones:

"For two pins I'd notify the company what a brute you are, and have a
gentleman put here in your place."

And with this rebuke he departed.

He went to a telegraph office and flashed a message to the authorities of
various stations along the line to New York, asking them to hold La Croix
if they caught him on the cars.

He had to wait an hour for a train to Buffalo, and sent Harry a message
telling where he was going.

Finally he was carried away in his train.
