went by, often stopping in front of the
houses and singing verse and chorus
of some old familiar song, ending by
loud cheering. They then went on un-
til they came to the home of Dan
Warthman, where they went into the
house with their masks on and busily
engaged in a general good handshak-
ing and begging Miss Marie for music.
Their call over, the captain called out
"AIl Aboard" and rush was made
for the door and a scramble for their
flying machine, turning their masks
towards Tamah, intending to stop at
the best store in the city, where the
boys intended swapping their ducats
for treat. Lucky boys! The store
was closed when they got there and all
yelling and singing was in vain. The
snored too loud to hear
them and they had to go. They in
tended stopping at the Rosebone Hotel
for the night, but the hotel was full up
and they turned about and went home,
