"And what are you going to do now?" asked Bart, when Frank had finished.
"I am going to rescue my father!" "Then count us in!" exclaimed Ned.
CHAPTER XXVI
ARRANGING AN ESCAPE
Frank's story was such an interesting one that the three chums felt as
though they never could stop asking questions. They particularly wanted
to know about Mr. Roscoe's detention among the cannibals, but of that
Frank could tell little.
"We were too busy talking of the present to dip much into the past," he
said. "Besides, I had only a very little time. I was interrupted so
often. I don't know all of the story yet, but I will in time. This Dr.
Hardman is one of the chief conspirators. It's lucky I wore the glasses
so he didn't recognize me at first or I'd never have gotten as far
along as I did. I guess he didn't have a good look at me that day in
the woods."
"I wonder what his game was, having us take him to the forest?"
asked Bart.
"Probably he wanted to be sure that none of his patients could
escape from the sanitarium and get to Darewell that way," suggested
Frank. "I believe Dr. Hardman had an idea my father might try to
find me, and wanted to be assured that if he tried it he would get
lost in the forest.
