"And I suppose you have neither seen nor heard of him since?"
Mrs. Finn shook her head.
"Where does little Jack's grandfather live?" she asked.
"Near New York."
"Is he a rich man?"
"Moderately rich. He is well able to take care of his grandson, if he could find him."
"I wish I could tell you more, I am sure," said Mrs. Finn heartily. "If the poor boy yet lives, Heaven knows what his condition may be. If you could find the man that took him away——"
"I can," answered Mark.
"Then why don't you go to him, and ask him where to find the child?"
"Because it is against his interests to have him found. He and the little boy are the only heirs to the grandfather's property. His uncle has good reason to dislike him, and if the boy is found, Lyman Taylor will get nothing, I feel sure."
