them 10 ssunter into the adjacent wood.
thus consigning them TO the Wsgrem court
yard, which they styled disdainfully the

here
They lost no opportunity Of playing OF
tricks on the iupiors-pouring water into
the mVzzles Of their rifes, drencnng their
beds and making their lives generally a
burden to them. At last the exasperatci
melons captured a senior one evening -
