Thinking themselves at last secure, the four
adventurers sought a sequesicred spot, and
under cover Of night, which was now far

Hardly had they begun, when the pair o!
avenging Pursuers again rang in their ears,

witching hour of A NJ, these four fugi-
tive foragers, fairly Jagged out, crossed the
foOt-bridge over Buck Creek, and regained
their rooms in Wittenburg College, whose
hospitable shadow was never so welcome be-
fore.
And there within their own sheltering
walls, two fellow students spread before
them, with an invitation to partake 'da i5ituza,
the very fruit Which they had carried so far
and thrown away in their precipitate flight.
