A review was scheduled for the pleasure of the commaidant of the Third Naval District, a display of the whole military might at Columbia. The other sections of the midshipmen school at Johnson Hall and John Jay Hall were going to merge with the men of Furnald in an array of twenty- five hundred novice naval officers. After breakfast the midshipmen shifted into their dress blues and lined up in front of the hall, with rifles, leggings and gun belts. Demerits flew for a spot on the collar, shoes that failed to reflect the image of the inspector, hair a fraction of an inch too long. A flick of an ensign’s hand on the back of a midshipmen’s neck was an announcement of five demerits, duly recorded by the yeoman who walked close behind him. Willie was flicked. In his eminence of 25 demerits he fleated lonely as a cloud. The closest contender had seven. . A sixty-piece band of midshipmen blasted brassy marches with more lung Bowe than harmony, colors waved bravely on staffs, and fixed hagtnets glittered in the morning sun as the ranks of midshipmen marched onto South Field. Behind the wire fences around the field were hundreds of spectators—parents, sweethearts, passers-by, college students, and satiric small boys. The band used up its, repertoire, and Synopsis: drop dead.’ — 4 a Draws Demerits the loudspeakers. Twenty-five hundred rifles snapped into position. The admiral strolled onto the field, smoking, followed by a straggle of officers, walking carelessly to symbolize the priv- ileges of rank, but straggling at distances from the admiral strictly regulated by the number of sleeve stripes on each straggler. The admiral, short, stout and gray-headed, addressed the ranks briefly and politely. Then the performance began. Step- ping proudly and confidently to the music after a week of re- hearsal, the battalions passed in review, ae wheeling, countermarching. The spectators clapped and cheered. The small boys marched yelling. Willie went through his paces in a daze of whirling thoughts but he was mightily interested in making no more mistakes. The music paused. The marching continued to a flourish of drums signaling the last maneuvers of the parade. Then the | band crashed once more into Anchors Aweigh. Willie's squad- off the field. Willie stepped around the wheeling turn, his eye on the line, staying faultlessly in position. Then he fixed his eyes to the front once more, and found himself looking straight at May Wynn. There she stood behind the fence not 20 feet away in a black fur-trimmed cost. She waved and smiled. ; “I take it all back. You win!” she cried. “By the left flank—march!” bawled Rotand Keefer.
