The manager, at first, the next morning, said nothing whatever to the rah-rah youths. But, at about ten o'clock a constable appeared and gathered in all of them on a charge of disturbing the peace. Dick & Co. were not even asked to go the justice's court. The hotel manager and bell-boy were on hand, but the crest-fallen lot of rah-rah youths all pleaded guilty.
The order of march, as instituted by the American Dolores, was as follows: 1. The Payson carriage, with Mrs. and Miss Payson on the forward seat and a tenderly wrapped Freshman on the other, and the coachman instructed to drive gently. Dr. Mead and the devoted bell-boy in a phaëton. Small citizens on foot.
"Oh, I'm not asking it, you know, old fellow," Lieutenant Abercrombie assured him. "Is Mr. Benson here?" called a bell-boy, from the doorway. "Very much so," replied Lieutenant Ulwin, dryly. "May I give you a message, sir?" asked the bell-boy, coming closer. After excusing himself, Benson stepped aside with the boy. Yet the latter spoke loudly enough for several to overhear.

Though the evening was mild, a fire was lighted in the grate, and as it kindled it combined with the other appointments to give the apartment an air of luxurious comfort. "Bring us a bottle of sherry," said Haldane to the bell-boy.
