CHAPTER III
ROWDY VERSUS REGULAR
AFTER a pleasant evening Hal and Noll escorted their parents homeward at somewhere around half-past ten o'clock.
Both young soldiers, however, were still so full of the day's news and so wide awake that neither felt at all like turning in for sleep as yet. So they met immediately afterward for a slow stroll through the streets on this warm summer evening.
"Where shall we go?" asked Hal, as the chums met.
"I don't care," Noll answered. "One set of streets will do as well as another."
"We'll take pains, anyway, to keep on the well-lighted streets," Hal proposed smilingly. "It wouldn't do for two poor, lonely soldiers to go into any of the darker quarters where danger may lurk."
"Tell you what we'll do then," offered Noll.
"We'll get a policeman to walk around with us and protect us from harm."
