We've solved one problem at last, Noll, declared Sergeant Hal Overton seriously.
Only one? demanded young Sergeant Terry quizzically.
But Hal, becoming only the more serious, went on earnestly:
At last we begin to understand just what the 'lure of the Orient' means! For years I've been reading about the Orient, and the way that this part of the world charms men and holds them. Now, that we are here on the spot, I begin to understand it all. Noll, my boy, the East is a great and wonderful place! I wonder if I shall ever tire of it?
I believe I could tire of it in time, remarked Sergeant Terry, of the Thirty-fourth United States Infantry.
But you haven't yet, insisted Sergeant Hal.
