Barry presented Cameron to his friend, and together they sat down and
waited. When the doctor was through with his patient, he came and sat
down with them.
"We came up to see a young chap named McPherson. I think you sent a note
down about him to-day."
"McPherson," said the doctor. "I don't remember, but I will see."
He turned to a desk and turning over the pages of a record, apparently
found the name, and returned to Barry.
"I am sorry to say that McPherson died this afternoon," he said.
"Dead," said Barry. He turned to Cameron. "I'm awfully sorry, Duncan."
"Was there anybody with him?" he enquired of the doctor. "He was
Lieutenant Cameron's very close friend, and college companion."
"Oh, awfully sorry," replied the doctor. "Yes, I think Captain Winter,
the chaplain of the --th, was with him at the last. He's not here just
now. I can tell you where to get him. To-morrow is his day here.
