work on to the next."

"Where do you suppose those signals go to?"

"That's what we've got to find out, Dick! But I should think, in
the long run, to someplace on the East coast. Perhaps they've got
some way there of signalling to ships at sea. Anyhow, that's
what's got to be discovered. Did you see Graves tonight ?"

"No," said Dick, his lips tightening, "I didn't! But I heard
about him, all right."

"How? What do you mean?"

"I heard that he'd been doing a tot of talking about you. He said
it wasn't fair to have taken you and given you the honor of doing
something when there were English boys who were just as capable of
doing it as you."

"Oh!" said Harry, with a laugh. "Much I care what he says!"

"Much I care, either!" echoed Dick. "But, Harry, he has made some
of the other chaps feel that way, too. They all like you, and
they don't like him. But they do seem to think some of them
should have been chosen."

"'Well, it's not my fault," said Harry, cheerfully. "I certainly
wasn't going to refuse. And it isn't as if I'd asked Mr. Wharton
to pick me out."
