"My boy," he said, "you surely know what your eyes were given to you for. Can you tell by looking at my coat how much money I have in the pocketbook in the breast pocket?"
"Hardly," laughed Ned, "but I can tell by looking at that light coat you have on that you went to sleep in your chair last night, with the lower part wrinkled up under you! Did you sleep that way all night? Own up, now!"
Captain Godwin blushed through his coat of tan like a schoolgirl.
"To tell you the truth," he said, "I did sleep in my clothes last night. After I left the Lieutenant at the hut I went home and mixed a little drink and sat down to read a bit. Well, sir, I fell asleep!"
"And woke up at daylight?" asked Ned.
"Pretty close to it," was the reply. "I awoke with a headache, too!"
"You mixed the drink yourself?" asked the boy.
"Yes; I always do."
"But your servant brought the glass?"
"Why, yes."
