Roy soon ascended the two flights of stairs to the apartment with the dormer window that had always been Syd's. The door was open and the room was empty. The bed had been slept in, but the suit Syd had worn the day before was not about. He had evidently dressed and gone. "I wonder if he can be up at Mr. Tyler's?" thought Roy. He returned to the dining room with his report.
They had reached the building in which Sydney had his office. "Yes, this is the place," replied Rex slowly. He was thinking how dreadful it would be to present himself before Syd with this crowd at his heels. "I don't know whether he's in or not," he added. "Will you mind going up and finding out, Scott?" "Of course I won't. I know just where the room is and I'll bring him down in a jiffy."
"You're mistaken, Syd," he replied; and, as he took off his hat and surveyed it, he continued, "In all weathers, there's no head gear so durable, and therefore so economical, as a good silk chimney-pot; and certainly there's nothing in the way of a chapeau so comfortable and becoming." "Tastes differ," said I. "They do," answered John, "and I speak about my own. I've tried others.
The miser sank back on the grass, while Roy hurried to the edge of the bluff and making a trumpet of his hands, called down: "Eva! Jess!" "Yes, are you all right, Roy?" came back the answer in Eva's tones. "All O. K., but Mr. Tyler's a little done up. I'm going home with him. And he wants you to send Syd over as soon as he gets back.
"What hadn't? Hadn't what?" "The machine; it hadn't broken down." "But I saw it," exclaimed Neil. "What do you mean, Syd?" "I mean that it hadn't really broken down, Neil. I the truth is I had pried one of the links up with a screw-driver." Neil stared in a puzzled way. "But what for?" he asked. "Don't you understand?" asked Sydney, shame-faced.
I need not ask how you are," and, while John answered him, he placed camp-stools for us, and said to Syd and me, "Sit down, gentlemen; and excuse me if I address myself mainly to this eccentric cousin of mine, and, I am sure, your very good friend. I do not see him often, and he never will let me know when he is coming my way" a statement which Syd and I could easily believe.
"Please be careful of the paint," expostulated a voice, and Sydney paused in surprise. "Well," he said; "I've just been over to your room looking for you." "Have you? Sorry I wasn't Say, Syd, listen to this." Neil dragged a pillow into a more comfortable place and sat up. He had been stretched at full length on the big window-seat.
"How did he come to do it, Roy?" he went on, "Hasn't he any relatives, or anybody of his own?" "I don't know. Syd can tell you more about it than I can. Come, we had better be getting home." The boys rose and resumed their walk. Presently Rex remarked: "When shall we get hold of the money, do you suppose, Roy?" "I don't know. Don't talk about it in that way. It seems awful."
It was a fine letter and it removed what resentment still remained with Ted against his father. His mother also wrote, saying she was wonderfully happy and he got a short note from John Dean before he left. He also heard from Walker, who told him he was off for the war, but that Strong had to stay. Syd Graham and Ted were inseparable.
Now tell me again about it; where do I come in on it?" And so Sydney drew a chair up to the table and drew more diagrams of the new play, and Neil looked on with great interest until the bell struck the half-hour, and they hurried away to recitations. The next day the varsity and substitutes went to New Haven. "If they will leave me behind, Syd, what can they hope for save rout and disaster?
