"Men," he said, "respect death, since they rightly believe that, if it is respectable to die, every one is assured of being respectable in that, at least." The actors were excitedly discussing Chevalier's death. Durville, mysteriously, and in a deep voice, disclosed the tragedy: "It is not a case of suicide. It is a crime of passion. Monsieur de Ligny surprised Chevalier with Nanteuil.
Gentlemen, do you not feel that any man who commands as many friends in his class as does Mr. Prescott must be a man above the petty meannesses of which he was accused, and for which he was sent to Coventry?" "I've been one of the sufferers through Mr. Prescott," commented Durville grimly. "As for me, I'll admit that I'd be glad to see the 'silence' lifted. I feel that Mr.
The order that he had received from Lieutenant Denton he looked upon as a confidential military order that could not be discussed, except on permission or order from competent military sources. "Now, Prescott," continued Cadet Durville almost coaxingly, "we don't want to be hard on you, and we don't want to do anything under a misapprehension. Can't you be more explicit?"
"Let me go by, and tell me you'll keep this quiet. By Jove, Prescott, you know what it means to me if I'm placed on report for -this!"

As he pushed open the door and reentered the subdivision, he beheld Durville, standing there with arms folded. "Possibly at the risk of being reported for breaking my arrest, Mr. Prescott," began Durville, "I have lingered here to say to you that you have succeeded in wreaking a most complete revenge upon one who led a bit in having the silence conferred upon you."
Then he caught another man, named Durville, for going off the post in 'cit. clothes, and that settled the case against that fellow Prescott. But it was my trick that made all the rest possible." "I don't see that that was anything very clever," rejoined Henckley. "I told you, didn't I," argued Jordan, "that it was as much luck as cleverness."
You will go to your room and remain in close arrest until you receive further official communication in this matter." "Very good, sir." Durville spoke in steady, if icy tones, as he saluted and made this response. "That is all, Mr. Durville." "Very good, sir." Like one frozen, the cadet in unfamiliar attire turned and left the office. "How did you happen to make the discovery, Mr.
But, after all, what is it to beat every other college, and then have to go down before the Navy in defeat at the end?" "Who says we're going down in defeat?" grumbled Greg. "If you say we're not, you and Prescott, then you can do a lot to hearten us up," continued Durville, with a sharp glance at the star battery pair.
