Belton was fined five dollars for vagrancy and was ordered to leave town within five hours.

He paid his fine and boarded the train for Cadeville.
As the train pulled in for Cadeville, a group of white men were seen standing on the platform.

One of them was a thin, scrawny looking man with a long beard, very, very white.

His body was slightly stooping forward, and whenever he looked at you he had the appearance of bending as if to see you better.

When Belton stepped on to the platform this man, who was the village doctor, looked at him keenly.
Belton was a fine specimen of physical manhood.
