Prescott be elected president of this class by acclamation." "Sir, I second the motion," came from Durville's throat. There was wild glee as a volley of "ayes" was fired.

Let me reach my room!" whispered Durville hoarsely. Dick Prescott wished, with all his heart, to be able to comply with the other cadet's frenzied request. But duty stepped in with loud voice. As a cadet officer, as captain of Durville's company, Prescott had no alternative within the lines of that duty. He must report Cadet Durville. "Now, don't look at me so strangely," begged Durville.
