God bless you both!" A new lot of High School boys Dick and Greg found in Gridley, but the new crop seemed to be fully as promising as any that Dick and Greg could remember in their own old High School days when Dick & Co.

had flourished.
A fortnight, altogether, Dick and Greg enjoyed in the good old home town, hallowed to them by so many memories.
Then one morning each received a bulky official envelope bearing the imprint of the War Department at Washington.
How their eyes glistened, then moistened, as each young West Point grad.

drew out of the envelope the parchment on which was written his commission as a second lieutenant of United States infantry.
More, their request had been granted.

They had been assigned to the same regiment---the forty-fourth.
Their instructions called for them to start within forty-eight hours, and to wire acknowledgment of orders to Washington.
The Forty-fourth United States Infantry was at that time in the far West, in a country that at times teemed with adventure for Uncle Sam's soldiers.
Here we must take leave of Lieutenant Dick Prescott and of Lieutenant Greg Holmes, United States Army, for their cadet days are over and gone.
Readers, however, who wish to meet these sterling young Americans again, and who would also like to renew acquaintance with two former members of Dick & Co., Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton, will be able to do so in Volume Number Five of the _Young Engineers' Series_, entitled: "_The Young Engineers On The Gulf_." In this very interesting volume the young engineers and the young Army officers will be found to have some very startling adventures together.
Readers will also be able to learn more of the careers of Dick Prescott and Greg Holmes, as Army officers, in the "_Boys Of The Army Series_." Some of their campaigns will be described very fully, for these splendid young officers served as officers and instructors of the "_Boys of the Army_." THE END.
