A neighbor told me she had been to the college hospital, had been one of Doctor Haynes's cases, but that he had turned her over to his son. I've seen Hampton Haynes here, too." There was an air of sincerity about Chapelle's words. But, then, I reflected that there had also been a similar ring to what we had heard Hampton say. Were they playing a game against each other?
The cadets were acting with a singleness and devotedness of purpose which showed plainly that the perfect trooper was the sole subject of thought in their minds. At least, so the instructor thought, from the results obtained. Even Haynes's face was inexpressive as he rode. Greg was as jaunty as though he had not an unkind thought toward anyone in the world.
Soon after Haynes's roommate had returned from recitation the signal sounded for the squad that was to report at the riding hall. Haynes rose, drawing on his uniform raincoat. "What's the matter with you, Haynesy?" inquired his roommate. "Why do you ask, Pierson?" "There was a very queer look on your face," replied Cadet Pierson.
"At last her letters ceased and father wrote that her mind had given way suddenly; that she was a raving maniac, dangerous, I think he said, and I thought of the way she looked at him once when I was a child, and he told me to ask her about her father. He said she was in Dr. Haynes's private asylum, where she had the kindest of care. I think I died many deaths in one when I heard that.
I went before the footlights once that night, and the stage was full of coffins in which you lay, and I saw the little grave in the New England cemetery where he said you were buried. At last I fainted, and have never sung again. They were very kind to me at Dr. Haynes's, where he came often to see me till I heard he was dead. I was not sorry; he had been so, so I can't explain."
With the return of spring, when his sister came to live with him for some months, Dr Haynes's entries become more cheerful, and, indeed, no symptom of depression is discernible until the early part of September when he was again left alone. And now, indeed, there is evidence that he was incommoded again, and that more pressingly.
"Somebody sick over there t' Haynes's. Guess th' old man's ailin' ag'in. Winder's haaef-way open in the chamber, shouldn't wonder 'f he was dead and laid aout. Docterin' a'n't no use, when y' see the winders open like that. Wahl, money a'n't much to speak of to th' old man naow! He don't want but tew cents, and old Widah Peake, she knows what he wants them for!" Or again,
Two more downs and the Navy had the ball. Now Darrin, with Dalzell's close elbow-touch throughout, started a series of brilliant plays. To be sure, Dave didn't make all the runs, but he made the larger part of them. Turnback Haynes's eyes began to snap. Dave Darrin was playing with fire in his eyes.
Again and again they sent up the rousing corps yell for Prescott and Holmes, with Brayton's name added. Turnback Haynes, finding no one to listen to him now, in anything he might have to say against Prescott, turned to stare at the heaving lines of gray. To himself, Haynes muttered curiously: "Humph!" That one word did not, however, do justice to Haynes's frame of mind.
"If it's a telegram," said Mr. Hippen, "I'm a director in the same road. It may be on railroad business. I'll take the telegram." It was turned over to him. Mr. Hippen broke the seal of the envelope, took out the enclosure and read it. Then he read it aloud, as follows: "Train thirteen wrecked this forenoon." It was signed by President Haynes's secretary. "Humph!" said Mr. Hippen.
