CHAPTER XIV
CHAINS ON HIS WHEELS
"How came you to meet Janet?" asked Laura Belding, remembering what her brother had first told her about the Red Cross girl.
"She was coming my way, of course."
"Coming your way?" Laura repeated, her eyebrows raised questioningly. "Oh! I see! You met her at the hospital."
"You said a forkful," declared the slangy youth.
"Dear me, Chet," Laura observed soberly. "I think your slang is becoming atrocious. So Janet was down there!"
"She had been calling on our friend with the broken leg, too," said Chet.
"She does seem interested in him, doesn't she?" Laura said thoughtfully. "I wonder why?"
"Because her mother's half-brother went to Alaska years ago and they never heard of him again," said Chet. "She told me."
