He knew there had been no excitement, and, in consequence, no excuse for
Frank entering the room. Dr. Hardman glanced sharply at the boy, as
Frank, putting on his glasses, hurried off down the corridor. But the
physician said nothing, because visitors were present. Dr. Hardman went
on explaining the system used at the sanitarium, but Frank, as he
disappeared around a corner, felt that he would be dismissed as soon as
the doctor was at liberty.
"Well, it's all over now," Frank thought "He recognized me and I've got
to take the bull by the horns. However, I think I have things so
arranged that I can carry out my plans without any trouble. I must get
the boys to help me."
Fortunately for Frank, the visitors remained a long time. They stayed to
dinner, and Dr. Hardman had to be with them. He had no chance to speak to
Frank, though he sent a message by one of the attendants that the new boy
was to go to the office, and wait there for the physician.
"If I go it means he'll dismiss me," thought Frank. "I'll keep out of
his sight as long as I can. I must get a chance to enter room
twenty-eight once more, to say that I am going away, but that I will
carry out the plan of rescue.
