"Me either. Say, but you're getting in deep, though. But I'm with you, and if you need any cash—just call on me. I'd do a good bit to get ahead of Old Thorny. But what do you think of the news Jack and Ward brought?"
"About the millionaire? I only hope it's true. It's about time something was done for Riverview. Well, I'm ready. Come on."
"Do I look all right?" Andy asked anxiously.
"Sure, but what do you care?"
"Oh, I thought you said that——"
"Oh ho! I see! Well, maybe Grace will be there. Come on."
It was but a short ride to Dailsburg on the trolley from Riverview, and on the way Frank and Andy kept a sharp watch for Professor Callum. But he was either ahead of or behind them. The latter, Frank hoped.
Frank's ring at the bell of the Morton home was answered by Gertrude in person. Her face, which bore a worried expression, lighted up at the sight of him.
"Oh, I'm very glad to see you!" she exclaimed. "Come in."
"Andy is here too," said Frank, with a little laugh.
