"We aren't going far away,
and we'll fly over to see you the first chance we get. Besides,
we're going to depend on you to give us some information regarding
Leroy. If the Huns drop any message at all they'll do it at this
aerodrome."
"Yes, I believe you're right," assented Du Boise, trying not to show
the pain that racked him. "But it's so long, now, I begin to
believe he must be dead, and either the Huns don't know it or they
aren't going to bother to send us word. But I'll let you know as
soon as I hear anything."
"Is his sister here yet?" asked Jack, for Tom and he had been too
busy the last two days, getting ready to shift their quarters, to
call on Nellie Leroy.
"She has gone back to Paris," answered Du Boise. "There was no
place for her here. I can give you her address. I promised to let
her know in case I got word about her brother."
"I wish you would give me the address!" exclaimed Tom eagerly, and
his chum smiled at his show of interest.

"Well, to-morrow, if all goes well, we'll be with Pershing's boys,"
remarked Jack, as he and Tom were sitting in their quarters after
breakfast, the last day but one they were to spend in the Lafayette
Escadrille with which they had so long been associated.
"That's so. We'll soon be on the firing line with Uncle Sam,"
agreed Tom. "Of course we've been with him, in a way, ever since
we've been fighting, for it's all in the same cause.
