A WEST POINT TREASURE.
CHAPTER I.
AN INTERESTING LETTER.
“Hey, there, you fellows, I’ve got a letter to read to you.”
He was a tall, handsome lad, with a frank, pleasant face, and a wealth of curly brown hair. He wore a close-fitting gray jacket and trousers. The uniform of a West Point “plebe,” as the new cadet is termed. He was standing in front of one of the tents in the summer camp of the corps, and speaking to half a dozen of his classmates.
The six looked up with interest when they heard what he said.
“Come in, Mark,” called one of them. “Come in here and read it.”
