CHAPTER XI
BRAYTON MAKES A BIG APPEAL
For a moment or two Dick stood looking out of his window, across the far-stretching plain that included the parade ground and the athletic field.
In the near distance the football squad was finishing up its practice in the last moments of daylight. Brayton was captain of the Army eleven, and was a good deal discouraged.
"Queer idea Haynes had!" muttered Dick to himself.

"Haynes has gone, I see," murmured Cadet Holmes.
