awaiting the train which is to carry them far above cayuga's waters to the lair of their rivals with the team are three wise men who lurk in the shadows and con verse in low whispers ahl it bodes no good when the train pulls in these three climb boldly aboard but once inside they take on the furtive manner of criminals about to com mit crime to clarify matters a bit it would not be amiss at this point to iden tify the trio wise men nos 1 2 and 3 respectively are three crafty phi sigs robert moore bus 36 john nilan c e 35 and paul scholia e m 35 moore disguises himself as a po lo coat and crawls into an upper berth which contains more apparel of the same nature he remains un der this incognito for the major portion of the trip crawl beneath seats scholia and nilan crawl beneath seats in the coach and assume the attitude of foot-rests they remain here for an indefinite period — un til they almost believe that they are foot-rests but now to the accompaniment of sinister music we shall intro duce the villain the lehigh sta tion agent who is really sherlock holmes in disguise has overheard the plot to filch a ride from the lehigh valley r r co and—be ing in nowise a person to be fooled by them slick college fellers — he has informed the conductors the search is on moore crafty lad has bribed a porter george by name for the sum of 50 cents he is to be warned of the approach of the conductors george proves reliable and with a whispered ethiopian accent he warns wise man no 1 of the search wise man no 1 crawls from his place among the coats and climbs into a berth wherein slumb ers milo meixell lehigh's famous grappler _ discovers culprits wise men nos 2 and 3 do not fare so well at towanda one of the intelligent conductors recall ing that foot-rests do not snore discovers the culprits when the train pulls into towanda station they leave they continue the journey by auto bus and shank's mare this delays them no little but neverthe less they arrive in time to see le high score a victory to return to the train we find that conductors have been changed and wise man no 1 has taken ad vantage of the fact to ride for the remainder of the trip as team man ager he even has the nerve to complain about the service to one of the conductors as he naively stated in a subse quent interview i thought it best to act perfectly natural just as though i were a regular passenger to create this impression i decided that nothing would seem more nat ural than registering a few com plaints — in true ordinary passenger style alumnibulletin to be issued williams sees
