"I know you haven't," returned Stubbs, "and that's why my health happens to be so good right now. But what are you going to do over the German lines?"
"Get the lay of the land," said Hal. "Find out the German strength and a few other things, if possible."
"Hm-m-m," muttered Stubbs. "Ought to be some news for the Gazette over there, don't you think?"
"Lots of it, Stubbs," replied Chester.
"The only trouble," said Stubbs, "is that if I go after it, will I be able to come back and tell the Gazette about it?"
"If you don't mind, Mr. Stubbs," said Hal, "one of us will take it upon himself to see that the Gazette gets the news."
"After my job, are you?" said Stubbs, with a smile.
"Well, not exactly. We just offered to help you out."
"I can't see where that would do me any good. However, I guess I'll take you up on this bet. I might be able to learn something of importance. The next thing would be to get it by the censor."
"Why, Stubbs," said Chester, "with your pull with General Petain, I can't see that you should have any trouble."
