Chapter XXIX
THE EXPOSURE--CONCLUSION It must be confessed that the six cadets did not like the menacing attitude of the five Germans and Tony Duval. Evidently one of the men--the stranger--had been spying on them, and he had carried his information to the others. "That's right, Bauermann, make them explain themselves," growled Tony Duval. "And don't be too easy on 'em, either!" "See here, you have no right to come in here without being invited," said Gif angrily.
