And now, said Chester,
gpt
Well, well, what's the matter now?
human
Matter enough, replied Hal.
gpt
The Austrians have nabbed Chester.
human
You don't say! exclaimed Stubbs.
gpt
I thought you fellows had finished your fighting days.
human
So we had, returned the lad;
gpt
And what are you going to do about it?
human
That's what I have been trying to figure out.
gpt
Well, I guess they won't hurt Chester any,
human
That's where you are wrong, declared Hal, getting to his feet.
gpt
They'll just about stand him up and shoot him as a spy.
human
As serious as all that? he questioned.
gpt
Tell me about it. What have you fellows been up to?
human
H-m-m, muttered Stubbs, when the lad concluded.
gpt
Chester certainly has got himself into a mess. And Anderson is with him, eh? Well, we will have to do something--and that at once.
human
Yes; but what?
gpt
Well, now, that's the question, but you'll have to give me time. I'll find a way. A newspaper man always finds a way.
