“Is he a tall man with white hair and a jet black mustache?”
“Yes—do you know him—have you seen him?”
“I saw him to-night. And your son—is he a well-formed boy with a military uniform of dark blue, trimmed with light blue braid?”
“Yes—yes!” excitedly cried the lady. “Walter has very fair skin and jet black eyes. There is a small scar on his left cheek.”
“I was not near enough to distinguish his features well.”
“Near enough? You couple his description with that of Milburn—is it possible you have seen them together?”
“Yes—to-night. The boy was abducted.”
A low cry of horror escaped Mrs. Grey, her face turned deathly pale, and a wild look sprang to her eyes as she gasped:
“What has happened? Tell me quick!”
Frank detailed his adventure.
