Field, it seems, had been at last induced to sleep some hours that evening, and it was nearly twelve when he awoke and saw his desk on a table near the window.
The attendant was nodding in an easy chair, and just as the young officer determined to rouse him,
Mrs.
Dade, with the doctor, appeared on tiptoe at the doorway.
For a few minutes they kept him interested in letters and reports concerning his father's condition, the gravity of which, however, was still withheld from him.
Then there were reports from Tongue River brought in by courier that had to be told him.
But after a while he would be no longer denied, he demanded to see his desk and his letters.
At a sign from the doctor, the attendant raised it from the table and bore it to the bed.
I found things in some confusion in your quarters, Field, said Waller, by way of preparation, and I probably haven't arranged the letters as you would if you had had time.
They were lying about loosely.
But he got no further.
Field had started up and was leaning on one elbow.
The other arm was outstretched.
What do you mean?
he cried.
The desk hasn't been opened.
Too evidently, however, it had been, and in an instant Field had pulled a brass pin that held in place a little drawer.
It popped part way out, and with trembling hands he drew it forth, empty.
Before he could speak, Mrs.
Dade suddenly held up her hand in signal for silence, her face paling at the instant.
