They shook hands like brothers, and then parted. Many things were to happen before they met again.
Frank and Starbright had intended returning to New Haven by an early train, but Dick decided to wait, now that Merry was to call on Inza.
Merriwell found Inza in a family hotel near the park. She had been waiting for him, and at first she did not seem to notice that Starbright had not accompanied him.
“I was afraid you could not come,” she confessed, as she gave him her hand and looked into his eyes. “And I have so much to thank you for!”
“Don’t thank me, Inza! You know I would do anything for you—anything in my power!”
“Would you?”
“Haven’t I proved it many times?”
“Yes, yes! And last night you were the one my mind turned to when I felt sure Walter was in trouble and danger. He says he owes his life to you. You must let him thank you. He is with father now.”
“It seems so strange that you have a brother. I can hardly realize it.”
“Hush! It is not known here that he is my brother. He is supposed to be my cousin. You know it is dangerous for him to be in this country. He might be arrested.”
