“This is certainly all to the merry!” murmured Stanley. “It’s as good as a Fourth of July exhibition.”
“Look at the Roman candles!” cried Max, pointing over to the woods. From among the trees three large Roman candles were sending their balls of various colors high into the air.
“This is a surprise and no mistake,” murmured Doctor Wallington, as he gazed at the fireworks.
“Didn’t you know about them, Doctor?” questioned Allen Charter.
“No. It must be the work of some students.”
“I’m going to see who is doing it!” cried Stanley, and ran for the woods, followed by a score of others.
When the crowd arrived they found Dick, Tom and Sam in the act of setting off more rockets and Roman candles.
“Say, you sure surprised us!” cried Stanley.
“It’s out of sight!” murmured Spud.
“Huh! I am sorry,” murmured Tom. “I thought it was very much in sight.”
