Seeing Jack shortly afterward, Dick told his friend what he had learned and added: "The Riverton police would simply keep a watch against strangers, but the doctor evidently thinks that some of our own Hilltoppers need watching, and he has, therefore, taken this means of doing it. "I am sorry that he has had to," said Jack, "but after all the doctor appears to be living up to his name.

"I thought we would see him before long, Dick," said Jack in a low tone to Percival.
