Ned entered the tent. He came out in a
hurry.
"Frank's run away!" he exclaimed.
"What makes you think so?" asked Bart, much surprised, while Fenn looked
startled at the news.
"Because most of his clothes are gone."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. Look!" and he pointed to where they were missing from the
small trunk in which Frank kept them.
"This is getting serious," declared Bart. "Something is wrong with Frank.
I wonder where he could have gone?"
"What's that over there?" asked Fenn, pointing to a white object at the
foot of a tree.
"It's a newspaper," said Ned, picking it up. "And it is turned to display
an advertisement. I wonder if Frank could have gone to answer this?" and
he read the item concerning the sanitarium.
CHAPTER XXII
FRANK IS EMPLOYED
It was about seven o'clock that evening when Frank, wearing the smoked
glasses, rang the bell at the front door of the Cliffside Sanitarium. He
had hurried through the woods as fast as he could, munching on the way a
sandwich he had made before leaving camp.
His ring was answered by a woman with iron-gray hair who inquired what he
wanted.
