All of a sudden Tom and Harry and Dick and Greg charged into that howling, shooting crowd and knocked them right and left.

Your four old-time chums simply disarmed the 'bad' ones and turned the weapons over to the chief of police." Belle went on, describing the famous incident, while Dave leaned back, laughing heartily.
"How I wish I had been on hand! I'd like to have helped, too," he added.
"Those four youngsters didn't need any help," laughed Belle.
"Which was the most surprised crowd--the 'bad' Western outfit or the police department ?" chuckled Dave.
Readers of our "WEST POINT SERIES" will find the "Wild West" scene fully narrated in "DICK PRESCOTT'S THIRD YEAR AT WEST POINT." "Isn't it outrageous," demanded Dave, "that the West Point and the Annapolis leave of absence should be so arranged that midshipmen and cadets who are old, old friends never get a chance to meet each other on furlough!" "I don't suppose," replied Belle, "that it often happens that one little city often has the honor of furnishing, at the same time, two midshipmen for Annapolis and two cadets for West Point." "Very likely not," nodded Dave.

"But it seems too bad, just the same.
What wouldn't I give to see Tom or Harry?
Or Greg or Dick?
And now that I'm here Dick Prescott and Greg Holmes are but just barely gone." "Yes; they have been but four days gone," assented Belle.

"It does seem too bad that you and your West Point chums couldn't have been one day together." "I haven't seen a blessed one of the good old four since I left for Annapolis, more than two years ago," muttered Dave complainingly.

"What wouldn't I give--just to see what they look like in these days ?" "Well, what would you give ?" demanded Belle, rising and hesitating.
"They've given you their photos, then!" asked Dave Darrin guessing.
"Please be quick--let me see the photos." Belle glided from the room, to return with a large card.
"They were taken altogether," she explained, handing the card over to Darrin.
