"But we want our monoplane back again."
"Isn't there a full moon to-night?" exclaimed Leon suddenly.
"I believe there is," said Jacques. "Why do you ask?"
"Just as soon as the moon comes up we can sneak up to the border of the forest and everything in the clearing will be lighted up; we will hide in the shadow of the trees and can pick off the Boches at our leisure. Isn't that a good scheme?"
"Fine," said Jacques, "all except for one thing."
"What's that?" demanded Leon.
"You don't think the Germans are going to sit out there all this time, do you? Undoubtedly they have sent for help already."
"Then," exclaimed Leon, "our chance is to attack them at once. There can't be more than five of them at the most left now."
"That's right," cried Earl eagerly. "It's our only chance and we must be quick about it too."
"Don't you think so, Jacques?" insisted Leon. "Come along."
