"May good fortune attend you," he said quietly.

The lads drew themselves up, saluted and left the tent. The general stepped to the door and gazed after them.

"Sure," Chester agreed. "It's swifter, and if we have any luck at all, it's a pretty good contraption to get away in after we have gained our information. Now about clothes. Shall we keep on these uniforms?"

"What would you suggest?"

"Well, I don't know. Thought maybe we would take some German clothes along."

"Might not be a bad idea, though we won't put them on unless we have to.
I don't want to be shot as a spy if I can help it."
