The trooper went out, and when his comrade came in, Stimson laid a strip of paper before him.

"That wouldn't go very far if we brought the charge against you," said Stimson grimly.

It was half an hour later when the rest of the troopers arrived and Stimson had some talk with their officer aside.

Stimson appeared to consider for almost a minute, and then gravely rapped his companion's arm.

The next morning he was surprised by an early visit from Stimson of the embassy.
