nson, knowing that she would be interested in what had occurred since he last saw her and learning that but for her the Belgian army in Louvain might have suffered a terrible calamity. Chester did not linger long with Edna, however, after relating his experiences and a brief chat on other subjects, made his way to the house where he had left his wounded chum, to whom he gave a detailed account of all that he had done, and of the arrangements he had made for their reaching Brussels. "I would have been all right here," protested Hal. "Maybe you would," replied Chester, "but there is likely to be more fighting at any time, and you are in no condition to move about. You will be better off in Brussels." "I guess you are right," said Hal. "I know I am right. I understand there are no German troops between here and Brussels, so there will be no danger on the way." Hal was silent for some moments, musing. "We have had some fun here, haven't we, Chester?" he asked at length. "We have," was the reply. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world." "Nor I," returned Hal. "And, when I am well, we shall see more fighting. The war has just begun." Four days later Chester and Hal arrived in Brussels, where Chester procured the services of a good physician for his friend, who had stood the trip remarkably well, and the physician, after an examination, announced that Hal would be able to get about in a short time. "Quiet for a few days is all that is necessary," he declared. And so Hal and Chester, comfortably housed in the Belgian capital, sat down to await the time when they could again give their services to the allied armies. And here properly ends the story of "The Boy Allies at Liege," though not the story of "The Boy Allies." Their subsequent adventures in the greatest war of all history will be found in a sequel, "The Boy Allies on the Firing Line; or Twelve Days' Battle on the Marne." ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE BOY ALLIES AT LIEGE*** ******* This file should be named 12656.txt or 12656.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.net/1/2/6/5/12656 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
