“It’s a pleasure, too,” added Tom reflectively, with a glance at his chum, “to know that there are loyal hearts waiting to greet us again over there where the shells are bursting.  For of course Nellie and Bessie, not to mention Harry Leroy, will be counting the days anxiously until we show up.  Little do they suspect all we’ve been through; and we’ll have to bind them to secrecy when taking them into the game.”

“H’m!” chuckled Lieutenant Beverly, “perhaps there’s a little Salvation Army lassie I, myself, will be glad to see again.  Don’t fancy you two have cornered the whole market of fine girls.  There are others over there!”

So we will leave them, only hoping that at some other day we may once more meet Tom and Jack and Colin, and accompany them through other activities.
