What else may happen it is yet a little too early to say." Cadet Prescott felt all the cold rage that was possible to him surging up inside.
"Haynes," he went on, "it may seem odd of me to ask a favor from you." "Very odd, indeed!" sneered the turnback.
"It is a very slight favor," continued Prescott, "and it is this: Don't at any time venture to address me, except upon official business." With that Prescott stepped resolutely around the cadet in his path, and went forward at a stiff stride.
Haynes remained for some moments where he was, gazing after Dick with a curious, leering look.
"Prescott is a coward---that's what he is!" muttered the turnback.
"If he weren't, I said enough to him just now to cause him to leap at my throat.

Humph! Anyone can beat a coward, and without credit.

Prescott, your days at the Military Academy are numbered! You, an Army officer?
Humph!" Though it would be hard to understand why, Haynes felt much better after that brief interview.

Perhaps it was because, all along, he had feared Cadet Prescott.

Now the turnback no longer feared his enemy in the corps.
How would the feud end?
How could it end?
