Apparently disgusted, the stranger put on his overcoat and started towards the door. Just as he was about to go out into the darkness and rain, he turned and spoke. Have you changed your mind? nNO.,, You'll always regret it. I warn you. I don't care. Get out! The door closed. John! Let's go to bed, dear. I'm tired. The next morning a telegram came from the Rembrant Construction Company. It read: Agent's report favorable. We need honest men like you. Name your own salary. A. H. Jones, President. Cedric Voglewede, '26. A SERIES OF NIGHTMARES One hot day last June, Helen Staub, Geraldine Kohne and I decided to go camp- ing in Eiting's Grove right outside the city of Decatur. VVe took our lunch and camping supplies with us. While we walked through town on Main Street, we were attracted by a sign which read, Free. We could not resist, for that magical word strongly appealed to our empty purses. We entered. There on a stage Mary Colchin and Cecilia Appleman were singing, Brown Eyes are you Blue? and at the same time doing the Charleston. They were so startled when they saw us, that they forgot their lines and broke down completely. Opposite the stage, at a small card table sat Frances Gase, with a yellow canary and a black cat perched on the back of her chair playing Old Maid with Cletus Junk. Cletus' hair was quite grey and a long beard covered part of his face. He was smoking an immense Meerschaum pipe. Just as we approached, the black cat got frightened and jumped off the chair landing right in the middle of Mr. Junk's pipe. At the other end of the room three familiar faces met our gaze. They were seated at a long table heaped with sport papers and magazines. Nardy Meyer was the same as ever, but Wemmie had added about two feet to his height and Tubby had just doubled his weight. He was so big that the landlord of that famous Recrea- tion House had generously cut a semi-circle into the large oak table so that Carl could enjoy at least a little comfort. 'We were hurrying to greet them, when we were startled by a loud crash. The heavy iron bench upon which they were seated could no longer stand the strain, but gave way, sending the three sprawling under the table. We decided to leave this place, when we noticed two radio fans, whom we rec- ognized as Gibby and Pete. They were so engrossed in listening to a lecture about The Value of Chewing Gum, that they did not even notice us. We were about to nudge them, when an electric current escaped from the batteries and sent them both dancing all over the floor. In our hurry to get out, we bumped into a group of four funny-looking jiggs. They were Cyril Heiman, Francis Coyne, Edward Lengerich and George Loshe, all eagerly working at a cross word puzzle, and almost devouring an immense dictionary. When we bumped into them, the giant cover of the book fell shut with a bang, leaving only a tiny piece of each one's coat tail hanging out. We took to our heels, but before we got to the door, I stepped on a burglar alarm and a big, bulky policeman entered, swinging his club over our heads. I scream- ed-and then awoke with a start, finding myself on the verge of falling out of bed. Margaret Lengerich, Comm, II. Ninety one
