Colonel
Brewsterberg has been killed. I'll ask you to take charge of my
prisoners."
"Very well, sir," said Chester, and produced a revolver.
The German officer returned his revolver to his holster and made as
though to leave the room.
"One moment," said Chester sharply.
The German stopped in his tracks and eyed him in surprise.
"I'll thank you for your gun," said Chester.
A great light broke upon the German.
"I see! I see!" he exclaimed. "Another one!"
His hand groped for his revolver.
"Be sure you keep your finger off the trigger," said Chester
pleasantly.
For a moment the German hesitated and it was apparent to Chester that
he was considering resistance.
"I wouldn't if I were you," said the lad quietly.
The German shrugged his shoulders, then took out his revolver and
passed it to Chester, holding it by the muzzle.
"Thanks," said Chester. "Now sit down over there."
He motioned to a chair and the German sat down.
"All right, major," called Chester. "You can come in now."
Major Derevaux entered the room, followed by the four Canadians.
