But, just as they were on the point of retiring, there came a knock on the door of the room occupied by Tom and Sam, and Stanley appeared.
"You are wanted in Room 14!" said the student, in a loud whisper.

"Come right along." "What's up ?" asked both boys.
"Feast--ice-cream and cake.

Max and Spud were down to the town and they brought the stuff along.

Come on, before it's too late and the ice-cream melts." "Me for the ice-cream!" cried Tom, and did a handspring over his bed.
"Are the others invited ?" "Sure--a round dozen," answered Stanley.
Room 14 was at the end of the corridor and occupied by two students named Lane and Parley, whole-souled fellows who were always ready for a good time.

The room was so located that it had much more privacy than the other apartments.
Soon the boys had gathered,--as jolly a crowd as could be found at Brill.
