h. E. hlGtr1QRH, one or bne popular young men of the Stone & Webster office force. started to drive to Canaan on the night of Thanksgiving. for the pur- pose of meeting friend at the union railroad station. Before he had reached the boundary line of the village. three burly ruffians sprang from the bushes at the side of the road and commanded him to stop. Dld he stop? He did not stop. On the contrary he hurled def- ance at the villains, whipped up his horse and got safely away. It was not until the next day that it leaked out that the "hold-up" was one of the mum erous jokes concocted by his fellow workers. who are prolific in the inven- tion of practical jokes on one another.
