"And I am going to move them away," said Penrose, "for I have an order from the President to do it."
Captain Bill looked interested.
"I should like to see something from President Roosevelt," he said. "I was on a wolf hunt with him once, and I know him very well. I should like to see something from the President."
Major Penrose replied:
"This is confidential. I have shown it to the judge, here; he can tell you."
"If it is confidential, how in the devil can you show it to the judge, and not to me, when they're my prisoners, and I'm here representing the State?"
Penrose qualified:
"It isn't exactly from the President; it's from the Secretary of War."
"Well, I should like to see that."
