But the savory viands did but whet the appetite of the besiegers and they did seek for more fromllthe same place. And they did repair to a certain side door whereof they knew. But the chief of the Janelevens had introduced a species of energy known as E-lec-trieity. Now in all the land there was no energy equal to E-lec- tricity-neither in the fall campaign nor in the spring house cleaning. And its grip is as the grip of a pedigreed pup. Wherefore, I say unto you, that as the chief of the enemy would fain open the -door by stealth, he was seized of a relentless seizure, even that of E-lec-tricity. And he was sore distressed and he called loudly unto his friends and unto his enemies. And those within did joyously acclaim, and they re- leased 'the leader of the foe, and his friends did silently bear him away. V And within the house all was glad with feasting, even till the first cock-crow. And it was so. 33

A Clllgrnninle Now in the days before the class of Janeleven had gained the name Senior,-which rreans all-conquering in war,-they went by the name of Subsoph, or the wise ones. And they thought it fitting that they gather themselves together and hold a partie. So they selected wise men and maidens from their num- ber who were to make all ready. And as it was ordered, even so it was performed. But it came to pass that divers men of the Sophs, and of the Freshmen, whose diet is of milk and Who are mighty men, encamped without the wall, and they were as mul- titudinous as the tears of a flunker. And as the Subsophs went unto the meeting two by two, as was decreed, the men of war were upon them and did smite them hip and thigh. And did did tear them apart, one from the other. And the maidens were sore afraid and did cry out lustily. And the foe inclined his ear unto their cries. And he was merciful and led them to the postern gate where their friends received them and administered unto them cod-liver oil and grape-juice and set before them viands and instruments wherewith to eat thereof. And with much turmoil they did prepare prunes, and grubers, and cider of ancient vintage, and the juicy fruit of the pickle tree. c And they did ransom the men of their tribe and there was great rejoicing throughout the house. 32
