The persoh Who failed to 90 down to

west there Was one stretch Of water.
It appeared - large. ohlong lake with
the old Western Normal buildings ut one
end and West Lincoln 1t the other, and
the city bordering the entire eastern
shore. In the center the Pavilion Of
the beach seemed to float like some Low

setting sun. just topping tho western
hills, Furnished the vide expanse Of
water with glowing flame and flooded
the city in brilliant color. For . time
the city SEEMED to burn and reflect its
image in the glistening lake. Then the
sun slipped out Of sight and the scene
was swallowed up in darkness. Tho
