CHAPTER XXV.
Conclusion One evening about a week after these events Dick and Dave were sitting in the former's room chatting, when Greg Holmes and Dan Dalzell, apparently in great good humor, broke in upon them.
"When do you go to West Point, Dick ?" queried Greg.
"I'm ordered to report to the adjutant there on the first of March," Prescott replied.
"Mind my running up there with you ?" demanded Greg.
"Why, I'd be tickled to pieces, if you can afford the trip, Greg." "Oh, I guess I can," laughed the other boy.

"Dad is going to pay my freight bill." "See here, you fellows, you can't have been reading the newspapers much, since you two were appointed," broke in Dan Dalzell.
"What have we missed ?" challenged Dave.
"Why, didn't you know a thing about Senator Frayne and his appointments ?" went on Dan Dalzell.

"The Senator doesn't appoint from a single district.

He appoints at large from the whole state.
Senator Frayne announced, a while ago, two appointments-at-large, one for West Point, the other for Annapolis." "And we went up to the state capital yesterday," rattled on Greg.
"We went through the examinations.

The winners weren't named until this morning.
