CHAPTER XVII.
THE LOST FOUND.
Egerton expelled—Harry lost—Settling to work—Two years after—A triumphal entry—The halt—Pre-occupied—A stranger—Found at last.
There was a great stir in Wilton on Harry's disappearance. The single policeman the village boasted was sent for and vigorously interrogated.
Had he seen any traces of a young gentleman answering to Harry's description?
"No! he hadn't seen nothing!"
Was he on his beat that night? Had he passed the school buildings?
He had stood talking for half-an-hour in one spot of the village, and then had gone to bed.
"He hadn't thought there was any call for him to go round the village."
