“Yes, that’s so,” Tom said. “Well, it’s a heap sight happier for me than when I first came here. I don’t have to worry about my mother now.”
“No, now that you got hold of the old army officer’s secret, things are coming your way,” agreed Sam.
The two chums planned to see each other that summer before taking up their new duties.
“And now—good-bye, West Point,” said Tom, softly, the next day, as he prepared to leave and to meet his mother in Chester. “I hope all the plebes will enjoy their stay as much as I did—after I got over being one.”
“So say we all!” echoed Sam. “Good-bye, West Point!”
