CHAPTER IV

THE O.C. WANTS TO KNOW


As has been said, Cadet Prescott felt as though his heart had
stopped beating.

In another instant mischievous Cadet Holmes would actually be
slipping a shell into the reveille gun, if it were not already
loaded, and then attaching a cord, to lay a trap for some other
unsuspicious cadet.

Captain Bates, who was quietly looking on, would have Mr. Holmes
red handed.

Charges would be preferred. Undoubtedly Greg would soon be journeying
homeward, his dream of the Army over.

Dick could not call out and warn Greg.

That would be a breach of discipline that would recoil surely
upon Mr. Prescott's head, making him equally guilty with his chum.

Yet, to see Greg walk unsuspectingly into the "tac.'s" hands in
this fashion! It was not to be thought of.
