“Not quite yet, Dan. There are some things I want to say to you when Walter is not here.”
“Yes, sir.” Dan’s face flushed and his confusion was manifest.
“Do you know where Walter is now?”
“No, sir.”
“Haven’t you any idea?”
“Probably he is with some of the boys. I’ll be glad to look him up if you would like to have me.”
“Not yet,” said Mr. Borden quietly. “If you were to look him up for me, where would you go first to find him?”
“Why, in some one of the fellows’ rooms,” replied Dan, looking quickly at his visitor as he spoke. How much and what did Mr. Borden know?
“Would you go first to Gus Kiggins’ room?”
“Why, I might,” replied Dan lamely.
