"What about it?"
"Well, I did think, at one time since all this queer business came up,
that Frank's mind might be affected. Now I think he may be interested in
someone who has gone insane. He certainly has some queer secret, and it's
getting more and more of a trouble to him. Why, this is the third time
he has run away from us!"
"It's only the second," interposed Bart.
"It's the third," insisted Ned, and he told of the time he suspected
Frank had taken the canoe and remained away all night.
"Do you suppose he went to the sanitarium each time?" asked Fenn.
"I believe so," Ned replied. "That's what makes me think that someone is
there in whom Frank is much interested. Now comes this advertisement. The
paper is only a few days old, as you can see by the date. I believe Frank
has gone to see if he can't get this position. Perhaps he wants to help
someone, and this is the only way he can do it."
"It looks reasonable," admitted Bart. "What can we do?"
"I don't see that we can do anything," spoke Ned, "If Frank is there he
certainly will not want us coming around, and, perhaps, give his plans
away.
