In a sanitarium on--"
Just then a door shut, and Ned was unable to hear any further talk of the
men, who had so strangely come to the vacant house. He could distinguish
the hum of their voices, but that was all.
"I wonder what that means?" he asked himself, as he stood there in the
darkness. "It sounds as if there was going to be trouble for Frank."
CHAPTER V
SUSPICIONS AROUSED
The voices of the men had sounded from a front room downstairs. Ned was
in an apartment across the hall from them. They had shut the door leading
from the hall to the room where they were. This gave Ned a chance to come
out of the apartment into which he had been taken and he tiptoed to the
closed door to see if he could hear any more.
But either the men were conversing in whispers or they had moved back to
some remote corner where their voices could not be heard.
"I guess I'd better get out of here while I have the chance," Ned
thought, and moving softly he left the building.
As he hurried along the street toward Fenn's house, determined to join
his friends at the dinner, he could not help thinking of what he had
overheard.
