"old Mother Hubbard's son would
preach tomorrow night"
Sherlock Holmes has nothing on"
one of the ministers of this camp
when 10 comes TO putting over" the
detective stunt The other night II
was discovered that Charles Cleaver,
the cornetist. was missing. AS the
hour toward midnight approached
and the cornetist had not returned
to the Marquee where he, together
with several others, is staying, those
already "at home" began to wonder
where Charlie was. OF course. some
/ had their suspicious but still-l1. .45-
| 12 O'Clock struck-still no Charlie.
/ Then a happy thought struck Sher-
| lock Jr Seizing the cornetists cor
net he went to the window and blew
a number of shrll blasts. In less
than a minute a dark figure was seen
streaking around from st. Pauls ave-
nue. into the Circle. II was Charlie.
He didn't explain where he had been.
Someone has defined camp life as
a place where one can enjoy all the
/ comforts of home. However that may
/ be the cat fight on the Circle the
other night certainly did remind one
of home sweet home. There we're no
shoes, tooth brush mugs or hair
/ brushes found on the Circle the next
morning II is understood that
I writer on The History of Cat Fight
/ irg" has offered a reward to find out
what gentle and persuasive arguments
were used with the felines to induce
them to ''hit the trail" in another di-
rection The offer is still open.
Miss Mary Mackenzie is the postmis-
tress of the camp. Every morning she
delivers the mail to the cottagers, and
her coming is one of the most interest
ing events of the day. She is very
faithful postmistress, and both delivers
and collects the mail in very salts
factory manner.
