"You've got me. However, here comes a young officer; we'll ask him."
Hal did so. "That is my name," was the young man's smiling response. "Then we're in luck," said Hal. "General Petain requests that you find quarters for me." "As it happens," said the young Frenchman, "two of my brother officers have been transferred and I can ask you to bunk with me." "How about Stubbs?" asked Hal. "Stubbs?" "Yes; our friend here, a war correspondent." "Oh, I guess we can find room for him. Come with me." The three friends followed the young Frenchman and presently were installed in a large, comfortable tent. "Turn in whenever you're ready," said the Frenchman. "We must report to the general at midnight," was Hal's reply. "What's up?" "You've got me," said Hal. "Hope it's something good, though." |
