The horror of this last tragedy had

ALL CLING TO THE ROPE
Fifteen Initiates Pass to
Realm of Shrinedom in
AImas Temple.

Clinging to the rope with swee. ternpers,
not overconf1dent, but very suspicious of
every kind-hearted noble who approached
them. fifteen wondering initiates followed
the procession started last evening by
Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine at
National Rifles Armory, for that mysteri-
GUS goal of shrinedom that no man knows
save he that has been there. But 1t was
necessary to make them full-redged
notice Of the temple, so they drew no
conclusions, but played the hand out as
the recol ders circular had suggested to
them. Later, at the banquet which al
ways follows a ceremony Of this kind in
Almas Tempe, they refreshed themselves
