It's a wonder, in the drought we've been having until the rain this morning, that the fire didn't spread through the woods to our place and the Wheeler estate. That crumbling old house must have burned like tinder. I thought I smelled stale smoke when I turned into Glen Road,he said soberly. Belden glanced up at the ruins on the eastern hill above the hollow. And, oh, Dad, I forgot to tell you, the old mansion burned to the ground last night. And Honey and I found him,Trixie went on excitedly, and brought him food while he was hiding in the mansion, but now he's run away again. And he ran away from his stepfather who beats him and makes him work on his farm for nothing. So they found the missing heir at last? When I left to drive your mother and Bobby to the seashore, they were still looking for the widow and her son. Frayne is dead, Jim is his sole heir to a fortune of over half a million dollars. Frayne's great-nephew, Dad,she said, remembering that her parents hadn't guessed the secret of the mansion. What on earth are you talking about, Trixie? Who is Jim Frayne? He leaned out of the window, smiling, but there was a puzzled frown on his face too. Belden stopped the car by the steps leading to the back terrace. We're going on a trailer trip, Honey Wheeler and I, with her governess, Miss Trask, to try and find Jim Frayne who has run away again. Trixie saw her father's car turn into the driveway from Glen Road, and she raced out of the back door to stop him before he reached the garage.
