Chester glanced at his watch.
"Great Scott!" he ejaculated. "I had no idea it was so late."
"How late?" asked Chester.
"Ten-thirty."
"Nor I," said Chester. "Where do you suppose we are going to find
Maussapant?"
"You've got me. However, here comes a young officer; we'll ask him."
Hal did so.
"That is my name," was the young man's smiling response.
"Then we're in luck," said Hal. "General Petain requests that you find quarters for me."
"As it happens," said the young Frenchman, "two of my brother officers have been transferred and I can ask you to bunk with me."
