and enjoy yourself."

"I was just thinking," mused Greg, "of a promise you and Dave
Darrin made some girls back in Gridley."

"I remember that promise," nodded Dick.

"You and Darrin promised Laura Bentley and Belle Meade that you'd
each invite them to hops, you to West Point and Dave to Annapolis,
just as soon as either one of you had a right to attend hops."

"I know," nodded Prescott.

Greg was silent. After a few moments Dick ventured:

"Greg, I kept that promise the day we moved into encampment---the
first day that I was a yearling."

"Oh! Are Laura and Belle coming on West Point soon?" Holmes asked
eagerly.

"I don't know. I'll be mighty glad when I do know. But undoubtedly
Darrin has invited them to Annapolis, too. Now, it may be that,
even if the girls can get away to travel a bit, they can't go
to West Point and to Annapolis in the same season. So the girls
may be trying to make up their minds---which."

"I hope they come here," murmured Holmes fervently.

"So do I," Prescott replied promptly.
