“Perhaps we’ve been robbed,” suggested Fred.
“I doubt if any robbers would take the bedclothing,” answered Jack. “It’s a trick—that’s what it is!”
“I wonder if any of the other fellows have suffered like this,” came from Andy.
The words had scarcely been spoken when there came a knock on the hallway door and Gif entered, followed by Spouter.
“It’s the same story!” exclaimed Gif, glancing at the empty beds. “You’ve been cleaned out just the same as we were.”
“Were your closets ransacked too?” questioned the young major quickly.
“Yes, everything taken,” answered Spouter. “Confound the luck, anyway! I was going to do my packing to-night so that I’d have a little time to myself in the morning.”
“I was going to get up early to pack,” answered Fred.
“Has anybody else been cleaned out?” questioned Randy.
“I don’t know,” returned Gif. “We stopped at Ned Lowe’s room, and also asked Dan Soppinger, and they said nothing had been touched in their rooms.”
