On the other hand we are not sure he is there. We don't even know
where the sanitarium is, but I suppose we could easily find out from Mr.
Armstrong. Frank got the paper there, I guess."
"Maybe the telephone line runs to the sanitarium," suggested Fenn.
"That's it! I believe you're right!" exclaimed Ned. "I never thought of
that. Why, it was by following the line that we met Frank before. Let's
follow it again, and perhaps we shall come to the insane asylum."
"And suppose we do?" asked Bart.
"Well, we'll know where it is," Ned went on. "That's something. We may
not see Frank, but perhaps we can find out if he is there. It's worth
trying. I can't sit still and do nothing."
They started to follow the telephone line the next day. They found it did
lead to the sanitarium but not wishing to show themselves near the
building, they did not approach closely. They remained hiding in the
woods, hoping they might catch a glimpse of their chum, but he did not
show himself.
"I guess the only thing for us to do is to return to camp," suggested
Bart. "We'll have to wait until Frank comes away and tells us what he has
been doing.
