Breakfast is served at 7:30 in East Bourne Lodge, the mansion on Rhode Island Avenue, which the Intrepid syndicate has leased for the summer as a dormitory for Bus and his boys. A cheery "good morning" greets early risers who come to the table fresh from their two-mile run, and something else is in store for the slugabeds who forgot how hard it is to sneak up a gravel driveway at 3 a.m. without waking...
