SIMON was admitted to the hospital on his return and he had a pretty bad time. It was useless for the doctor and the matron to scold him. He had a relapse and for three days was unable to see or talk to anyone. He had been buoyed up with a wonderful determination to fight for his friends and when that end was accomplished there was, as he had said, a reaction. It was very apparent how he had overtaxed his returning vitality.
Yet, when Hazel told them her remarkable story, neither the medical nor the nursing staff could blame him or her. The tale in some mysterious way got into the papers and the whole world knew of the young lawyer who had left hospital to clear his friends and to expose the real villain, only to return to it in a state of collapse. For those few days he was real "news." The headline, "The Condition of Simon Ross," found prominence in every print and was looked for eagerly by readers all over the country.
