I won and hurried away from friends and dear one-s on a honeymoon that apparently was full, yet quite dry.. Many a lad grieved for his lost Lanoref' Quoth the specter, never- m-oref' Far greater were the number of Evangelines Who were wrent asunder from their lover and cast out in the darkness of the night amid the turbulency of the break- erst' and white caps. With many a freak and frolic, singing songs of good old col- , lege days, shouting verse and lingos to dear old U. M. C., and after restoring their cap- J tives from bondage, With good-bye squeezes, warm hand-shakes, and merry ha, ha, they Q drew their garments more closely about them and faded away into pleasant dreams.

M. C. boys swelled and burned within them, and their eye-s sparkled from flushed faces. They had met the enemy and the enemy was theirs. The shades of eve had brought out the lights along the Way and darkness had called forth the stars.', There was tumult and confusion in and about the University Pharmacy, where the b-oys were accustomed to congregate and loaf between classes and p-articipate in a much needed smoke for a few minutes. What's doing, asked two or three late ar- rivals, as they observed- a large number of their pals pushing, tip-toeing and crowding toward a common center with heads together and noses fairly rubbing, the ones on the edge intertwining arms across the shoulder-s of his neighbors. It finally leaked out and was noised about that the neighboring stores were to be raided and robbed of empty boxes, barrels, loose boards, excelsior and any inflammable material that could be legiti- mately confiscated for such occasions, and a bonfire was to be displayed in front of the college. Boxes and barrels, sign b-oards and planks, excelsior and papers began emerg- ing from all quarters. There was a. cracking and popping, snapping and breaking and soon the darkness was driven- to the far corners of the street, and the neighboring gas and electric lights were made to loo-k pale and- sickly in the glare. From afar the by- standers, having been disturbed in the quietude of their homes by the tumult in the street and congregating here and there in shirt sleevs and- bare headed, beheld a weird -and startling change of -scenes that recalled reminiscences of Dante's Inferno.H In the meantime it had been arranged that the fire department or any other annoying servants of the municipality should have business in other parts of the city. Explosives were placed upon the street car tracks. Approaching cars halted and hesitated, like shying horses, as if figuring what course to pursue to evade the devilis play-ground. Old Nick's trumpet sounded and from the darkness issued a long line of ghost-like objects. clad in the apparel like unto those who inhabit the realms above. To them a dancing master was an unnecessary nuisance and two-step and waltz time was a drag and a bore. If the Red Skin's chant and chatter, and war whoop had been substituted for the horns of many blasts and tin cans from many a rubbish pile, one might have impulsively reached for the rifle on the rack or his old six-shooter behind in his belt. The bonfire was dimming and the war dance's circling shadow faded away and merged into a mov- ing line of specter infantrymen, unmarshaled and ungeneraled, wending their way along the various streets and thoroughfares toward the commercial center, where the pulse beats rapidly and irregularly, and breasts heave with excitement. Pedestrians with stareing eyes and gaping mouths, inf their hurry and flurry, drew up to the curbingsg au- tos and vehicles slackened their speed and lingered along the procession of the spotless, amid the din of horns and cans, college songs and class yells. On nearing the further confines of the down-town district the word was passed along the line from one sentinel to another that, unmasked and with only the Weapons of Jerico, an electric train to Heim's park was to be waylaid and boarded, and a new train crew installed. After the occupants' seats and holdings were contested, they were honorably discharged and the management of the rolling stock was undisputed by the traffic department. The red signals were hauled down and white ones took their places. The manifest red ball cards were tacked on and they speeded by local stops with unisputed right-of-way to the terminus, where they were received with bows and courtsies, and escorted by the hundreds of gaping masqueraders who had gathered Carnival night to make merry and brush the store and office dust from their belabored brows. Many a lass was wooed, 11 111 1 111 11 L1i ii11 .fir iff . -
