How it got in the closet of the young farmer, unless he put it there, the lawyer whom Andy and Dunk had hired said he could not understand. "I've had my man interview the boarding mistress at the house in Crown street," the lawyer told the boys, "and she says no one went to Link's room, but himself, the day the book was found. But I haven't given up yet."
"It was Link's own fault that he was sent away," answered the senator's son. "If he had behaved himself he would have had no trouble." "Oh, of course, it is natural that you should shield yourselves. But I know my son, and I know he is not the person he has been made out to be by Doctor Clay and others.
For a half mile or so of Link's homeward pilgrimage before he turned off into the grass-grown, rutted hill trail which led to his farm his way led along a spur of the state road which linked New York City with the Ramapo hill country.
From Link's throat were bursting great strangled sobs which tortured his whole body and made his speech a tangled jumble that was not pretty to hear.

"Well, I'm tickled to death to think I got my little stake out before anything happened." "When you think of it-what security did he ever give?" McIlvaine continued. "Not a cent-not a red cent." "No, sir; we simply banked on him. Now, he's a good fellow, an' this may be a joke o' Link's; but the fact is, it might 'a' happened. Well, sonny?" he said to the boy, who came running up.
"Then all hands will have to hustle out to work. I want to be out of the next stand sometime tonight. We go out on another road, so we shall not have to wait, unless something unforeseen occurs. Came pretty near having a smash-up, didn't we?" suggested Phil. "Near?" The Missing Link's emotion was too great to permit him to finish the sentence. The car bowled merrily along.
