Pender; to once more mentally see that red motor with the khaki-colored top; and to picture the two strangers who had asked him so many questions. Was this really an accident, their being drawn out toward the farm of the unneighborly Sol Smithers; or might it turn out to be the working of destiny? He was aroused by a call that he had been expecting to hear for some time now.
We decided on our khaki-colored hiking-suits as the shade that would show the dust the least, and our soft tan regulation Camp Fire hats, with green motor veils. Besides being eminently sensible the combination was wonderfully pretty, as even critical Hinpoha, who, at first wanted us to wear smart white and blue suits, had to admit.
The new plebes were looking forward to summer encampment with a mixture of longing and dread -the latter emotion on account of the hazing that might come to them in the life under the khaki-colored canvas. As the days slipped by, Prescott began to have more and more of his old, firm step. He began to feel sure, too, that the surgeons would have no more fault to find with his condition.
The Austrians have most of their soldiers in khaki, and the Russians all wear khaki-colored cloth. The French still cling to their blue coats and brilliant red trousers, although steps are being taken to reclothe the army in more modern fashion, and the Belgians have a uniform that is very similar to the French.
As the papers were pushed aside he and the others saw nothing at first but a lot of khaki-colored canvas. "Fellows," declared Dick, "I don't believe this is a practical joke, at all. It looks to me as though someone had sent us something very much like a cook tent." All thought of danger having now passed, Prescott and his comrades unfolded the canvas.
How welcome did the sight of the big khaki-colored tent, that cheery campfire, and the friendly wagon standing close by seem to the eyes of the tired stragglers as they stalked in and threw themselves down on the ground to rest. "Supper all ready, fellows, just when you say the word," cheerily chirped Toby Hopkins; "but if you're overly tired you'd better take things easy a bit before eating."
"All right; when you're through, report back to the Company." The lieutenant went out, drawing on a pair of khaki-colored gloves with a satisfied and important gesture.
By Ethel's side, mounted on a huge khaki-colored horse, sat the man he had met, only the week before, in the driveway of the Dents' home. Scarlet with his exertions, grimly aware that his sleeve was pulled from its armhole and his left puttie was strained out of its usual compact folds, nevertheless Weldon saluted her smilingly and, his mount well in hand, galloped off in search of his squadron.
He waited just half a minute too long," Paul remarked, as a sudden flash of dazzling light shot around a bend a short distance ahead, and the red car with the khaki-colored top came into view, making fairly fast time. They could dimly see the inmates apparently surveying the road ahead with the utmost eagerness, as though anxious to make a discovery.
The day after the graduating class had departed, and the late yearlings had followed in their trail, as the furloughed new second class, what was left of the battalion marched forth out of barracks into camp. Here under the khaki-colored tents what was left of the battalion settled down to the life of the soldier in the field.
