"As I said before, you can count on me to the limit," said Uncle John.
"I'm counting on you, Uncle John," replied Chester. "I know you will do your part."
"Thanks," was the quiet response.
"Any more suggestions?" asked Chester.
There were none.
"What time is it?" asked Hal.
Chester glanced quickly at his watch.
"Great Scott!" he ejaculated. "Ten o'clock! I had no idea it was so late."
"Nor I," declared Uncle John.
"Time to get busy, then," said Hal.
