It takes some training, some probation, some hard knocks and other things to make a man out of the fellow.
He has to be a man, if he's going to be fit to command troops." Anstey, who had been walking close behind his comrade, added: "The new man, if he has been spoiled at home, usually comes here with a more or less bad temper.

He can't talk ugly here, or double his fists, or give anyone black looks---except with one invariable result." "What ?" asked both girls eagerly.
"He must fight, as soon as the meeting can be arranged," replied Anstey.
"That sounds rather horrible!" shuddered Laura.
"Does it ?" asked Dick dryly.

"We're being trained here for fighting men." "But what do they fight about ?" inquired Belle.
"Well, one man, who probably will never be thought of highly again," replied Anstey, "spoke slightingly of a girl at the hop last night.
The cadet who heard him didn't even know the girl, but he called the cadet a 'dog' for speaking that way of a woman." "What happened ?" inquired Laura.
"The man who was called a 'dog' was, according to our code, compelled to call his insulter out." "Are they going to fight ?" asked Belle eagerly.
"The 'dog' was whipped at the first streak of daylight this morning," the Virginian answered.

"That particular 'dog' is now in a special little kennel at the hospital.

Hasn't he learned anything?
He knows more about practical chivalry than he did last night." "This talk is getting a bit savage," laughed Dick.
