The German officer returned his revolver to his holster and made as though to leave the room.
"One moment," said Chester sharply.
The German stopped in his tracks and eyed him in surprise.
"I'll thank you for your gun," said Chester.
A great light broke upon the German.
"I see! I see!" he exclaimed. "Another one!"
His hand groped for his revolver.
"Be sure you keep your finger off the trigger," said Chester pleasantly.
For a moment the German hesitated and it was apparent to Chester that he was considering resistance.
"I wouldn't if I were you," said the lad quietly.
