Ely tells this one. which happened a
short time ago:
"a lot OF new men had just come in.
II was 1880 pm. and all was quiet.
"A motor cycle with side car came
q tearing down the concrete road be-
side the building and just outside my
window 1t was brought to a stop by
the sharp command. Halt
what do you want with us?'
We'll, the first thing I want is your
pass.
8 THE pass was produced. but the
sentry, right on the job. refused to
honor it, saying it was 'phoney.' That
resulted in the calling of the corporal
of the guard. and then the sergeant.
They said the men were drunk and
making entirely too much noise and
would have to go to the guardhouse.
Just then two lieutenants who were
in on the trick cameo along and
Strengthened out matters by releaS-
ing the prisoners.
The motor cyclists went on a little
farther and We're halted again, with
the same result. the sentry being on
the alert and knowing his orders.
But 1t was very amusing"
Just at this point it might be we'll
to remark that $40 lies waiting for
the man who found the Masonic ring
of Sergt. Reinhardt. which was lost
fifteen feet away from the grain ele-
water on the night of the second fire
at the haysheds, a week ago Saturday.
1t was marked university. 61O." The
