Then we must telegraph Mr. Passamore. I'll get his address from the old paper. But the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, will reach him, I presume. Oh, isn't it all wonderful!" "It certainly is," agreed Ruth. They gave one glance at the sleeping girl Mildred or Estelle and then went out, while Miss Lyon summoned Dr. Wherry to acquaint him with the strange turn of the case. "Mildred Passamore found!
She slept nearly forty-eight hours, awakening only to take a little nourishment. Then she slept again. She did not again mention any names, nor, in fact, anything else. Her friends could only wait for the arrival of Mr. Passamore to have him make sure of the identity. He had sent a message in answer to the one from Mr.
The old paper that I wrapped my scout shoes in when we were packing to come to Oak Farm. The one that father saved because it had a theatrical notice of him in it. "It was that four-year-old paper which contained an account of the strange disappearance of the wealthy San Francisco girl, Mildred Passamore. Don't you remember? There was a reward of ten thousand dollars offered for her discovery."
And with that, before the wondering eyes of the nurse, of Alice and of Ruth, Estelle Brown no Mildred Passamore, turned over and calmly went to sleep! For an instant those in the hospital room neither moved nor spoke. Then Alice cried: "That solves it! That ends the mystery! I'll go and get the paper." "What paper?" asked Ruth. "Don't you remember?
"Alice!" rebuked her sister. But Alice, for once, did not care for Ruth's rebuke. Her astonishment was too great. And it was a queer case. "We must be very careful!" said Dr. Wherry when, after a swift ride across the continent, Mr. Passamore and his wife reached Oak Farm. "We must not startle the patient." "Oh, but I want to see my little girl!" cried the mother, with tears in her eyes.
"There is no doubt of it," agreed Ruth, and Mr. DeVere affirmed his daughters' opinions. Mr. Pertell was told of the occurrence, and, being a good judge of pictures and persons, he decided there was no doubt as to the identity. "We will telegraph to Mr. Passamore at once," decided the director. The crisis for such it was in the case of the injured girl seemed to mark a turn for the better.
"I know it seems silly for a big girl like me to have a doll," went on the injured one. "But ever since I was a child I have had Estelle with me when I was ill. I am ill now, but I feel better than I did. So telegraph to Daddy Passamore to bring Estelle Brown with him when he comes for me. And tell him I was not badly hurt in the wreck."
It must be fun, though I don't recollect anything about it." "No you sha'n't!" laughed Mr. Passamore. "Your mother and I want you at home for a while." There is little more to tell. Mildred Passamore rapidly recovered her health and strength.
But all this, as well as other remembrances of her younger days, was lost after the injury to her head in the railroad accident. She retained but one strongly marked memory the name of her doll, the name which she took for her own. So, as a new personage, she came to Oak Farm, unable to think back more than four years, and totally without suspicion that she was the missing Mildred Passamore.
A San Francisco girl Mildred Passamore mysteriously disappears while on a train bound for Seattle can't find any trace of her parents distracted they've got detectives on the trail going to flood the country with photographs of her all sorts of things feared but think of it! ten thousand dollars reward!"
