Hal picked them up from where he had thrown them when he had changed clothes.
"All ready," he said quietly.
"Wait till I fix myself up a little," said Stubbs. "You must remember I was within the Austrian lines not so long ago myself. They may be looking for me, too."
He again delved into the little box, and Hal, as he watched, was surprised at the change in the appearance of the man. He, too, seemed to have aged greatly, and he bore slight resemblance to the old Stubbs.
"All ready to move now," he said at last.
He led the way from his quarters, and perhaps a hundred yards away, indicated a pair of horses.
"Ours—for the journey," he said.
A moment later both were in the saddle and were riding toward the front.
"Now," said Stubbs, "I'll resume my little talk."
"One minute," broke in Hal. "How do you figure we are going to be allowed the freedom of the Austrian camp? What'll they do with us when we get there?"
