"Now we can make a little better time," said Hal, "there are two of us."

Uniforms were still needed for Colonel Anderson, Ivan, Nikol, Stubbs and
Helen. Hal and Chester disappeared into the night.

Five minutes later Hal returned, this time with a uniform and no man. He
had found him in a deserted spot, and after knocking him down and tying
him up, had stripped him.

"Put this on, Anderson, and get out after one," he ordered.

He was gone again a moment later. Soon also Chester returned successful
and he and Anderson departed almost together. There were now needed
uniforms for Nikol, Stubbs and Helen, for Chester had brought one for
Ivan. And these uniforms must necessarily be small uniforms, for they
were for small figures. Therefore, the hunt was longer and it was more
than an hour later until all three had returned to the tent.

"Well, here we are, all of us first class Bulgarians, now," said Hal.
"Now, we'll leave the tent one at a time, except that I shall take Miss
Ellison with me first. Now do exactly what I tell you, all of you.
Leaving the tent, walk two hundred paces to the left, then turn to the
right and walk a hundred and fifty more. Next fifty paces to the left
again. We shall wait for you there. I have covered the distance and it's
the best place to join forces I can imagine. It is in the shelter of a
great rock that overhangs a large tent--probably the quarters of the
commanding officer. Do you all understand?"

He had each repeat the directions several times, and then, taking Helen
by the arm, he helped her under the tent.
