"Hang him in the morning," said Chester.
"Good! It's the way all spies should be treated."
"Of course; unless they chance to be German spies."
"That's different," muttered the guard.
"Of course it is," Chester agreed and added: "You'd better get back to your place. The prisoner might escape under your nose."
"Not much chance," was the reply. "I wouldn't care if he did try, though.
I'd like to have a shot at him."
"Nice pleasant sort of a customer," Chester muttered to himself. Aloud, he said: "Well, I was just giving you a word of warning. You can't tell about these fellows. They're pretty slippery customers."
"Well, this one won't slip out of our clutches," declared the guard. "I wonder if I hadn't better go in and have a look at him?"
"Can't be done," said Chester. "My instructions are to let no one pass."
"So are mine, but what has that to do with it?"
