"No, I don't," returned Chester. "If I did I'd sit right here. I don't want to run into any trouble now if I can help it. We've got business on hand, remember that. And we've got to hurry. Colonel Anderson, I guess your suggestion is a good one. We'll walk on a ways."
They set out without a word. Striking across what appeared in the darkness a large field, they eventually came to a road. They walked south along this.
Half an hour later, in the darkness, there loomed up a house ahead of them. A faint light glowed in the window.
"Told you there must be a house along here some place," said
Colonel Anderson.
Chester produced his watch and succeeded in reading the face after some trouble.
"Lacks five minutes to midnight," he said. "Rather a late hour to be making a call."
"Necessity knows no law," responded Colonel Anderson. "We won't bother them much, if they can furnish us with some means of transportation."
"Hope they will be friendly," said Chester.
"No reason why they shouldn't be. I suppose we are still in Serbia."
"Well, I don't know whether we are or not. That's what worries me," said Chester.
