I will notify all three of you, however, at a later hour, and will then hear you all in my office.

I trust a most satisfactory explanation all around will be forthcoming." Colonel Cleaves then turned to the group of officers that had just arrived, saying: "Lieutenant Terry, you were kind enough to offer to loan me a book on rifle range construction.

I am aware that you have not yet had a chance to send it over to me, but as I was passing, I decided to drop in and ask it from you." "In an instant, sir," replied Noll Terry.

Saluting, he darted down the corridor, opened his door and came back with the volume.
"I am indebted to you, Mr.Terry," said Colonel Cleaves, returning the first lieutenant's second salute and turning to go.
Until they had heard the colonel go out upon the steps below the entire group of younger officers stood as though spell-bound.

Three of you look as though the moon were clouded with mischief for some one." "You'll pardon us, won't you ?" smiled Dick pleasantly, as he turned to go back into his quarters.
