“Wonderful!” exclaimed the general. Then, after a few moments’ silence: “You seem to bear charmed lives. I believe you are the two for my mission.”
“Yes, sir!” exclaimed Hal eagerly.
“Both of you report to me in an hour,” ordered General French.
The two lads saluted again and moved away.
“Wonder what he wants?” said Chester.
“Too deep for me,” was Hal’s reply.
“He said something about a mission. I guess that means more excitement for us.”
“I guess you are right. However, I am sure we can go through with it, no matter what it may be.”
