"Will it be fair to yourself, Prescott?" demanded Packard.
"Wholly," replied Dick unconcernedly.
"Let him alone," urged Greg. "Old ramrod always knows what he's doing."
"I'm not sure that we can get Dodge out of here and attended to, and be already for the start in fifteen minutes," replied Packard.
"Fifteen, twenty, twenty-five," insisted Dick. "Whatever time is necessary, so that we start in time to be through before taps."
"What do you say, Dennison?" asked Packard.
"I? Oh, I'll be ready," grinned the athlete.
"Will you serve Dennison?" asked Packard, turning to Nelson
"Yes; of course."
"Then, Nelson, confer with Dennison and see whom he wants to serve with you. The rest of us will work over Dodge. Whew! Look that ear puff up while you watch it!"
