The armor arrived, and the faculty had just about donned it when Lady Prim- rose called excitedly to Knight-Major Frank and Lady Schapiro to stop for a moment. She hurried over with her wrench in one hand and a hammer in the other, tightened a loose bolt in Knight- Major Franks armor, and straightened a dented armor-plate in Lady Schapiro's modish pink and blue model. They thanked her in unison. After all, they said, we have a reputation to uphold. The company mounted their trusty steeds, and to a shout of Qnwardl by Knight Cohen, the brave warriors were on their way, They had been riding for some time when they caught sight of the missing pair in the distance.

The last to ap- pear were Knight-MAIOR COLMAN FRANK and Lady GRACE SCHAPIRO Qbest dressed man and womanl who had just put the finishing touches on their morning toilettes, followed by Knight Cushing, who had found it a little difficult to climb down from his high position, When the roster was complete, Doc Guernsey called the meeting to order and said, Knights and Ladies of the Sacred Qrder of Clinton, Knight IEROME BURNS fmost testsl has disappeared, coincidental with the disappearance of Lady HELEN LQVVELL lprettiestl.

Lady Lowell corroborated this statement, and on hearing this, Knight EFFINGHAM MURRAY ffewest testsl asked Lady Lowell whether she had found the discussion interesting. Before she could give the obvious answer, Knight DEAN EDMUND FOOTE fbest naturedl said, i'Come, come, gentlemen, let this bickering cease. Knight Burns is really a nice fella.
