"Don't you know you shall suffer for this?"
The man shrugged his shoulders.
"At least I shall have done my duty," he replied.
"Duty! Great Scott! Duty! What are you talking about?" demanded Hal, angrily. "Are you a German sympathizer?"
"No, my sympathies are French," was the reply.
"Well, if you call this doing your duty," said Chester, sarcastically, "let's hope you don't have too many duties to perform in the service of France. For if you do, the Germans certainly will win."
"Well," said their captor, "I guess I shall have to leave you now. I must make my report."
"Who are you going to report to?" demanded Hal, suddenly, thinking to take the man off his guard.
The latter only grinned.
