Chapter IX
"I don't believe it!" Howard Templeton repeated angrily, as he stood still where Doctor Shirley had left him, those unexpected words ringing through his brain. "What is it you don't believe, Templeton?" inquired one of the "gilded youth," dawdling in and overhearing the remark. "I don't believe anything--that's my creed," answered Templeton, snatching his hat, and hurrying out. He wanted to be out in the cold, fresh air.
