impatiently in his Office for the lesson
to begin rushed downstairs to see if
the musicians had exploded the mag
aZine. He opened the door and the
sound poured forth in huge volumes.
The lesson was a complete success.
Every one of the sixteen was swinging
his stick in unison, with as much ar
dor and in much the same manner as
though he were clubbing a refractory
drunk into submission, and all were
blissfully unconscious of the riot they
were creating on the streets.
The lesson proceeded and the crowds
continued to gather. Whitman went
back to detail a squad to allay the
fears Of the populace. and started
downstairs again to watch the pro-
ceedngs. AS he did so, Radigan, the
driver of the patrol wagon, dashed
up and demanded to know what the
trouble was.
Only the drum corps at work. Go
back and finish your nap" replied the
captain.
Are they going to keep that up
long?" queried the driver.

Whitman returned to the scene of
the conflict, and fifteen minutes later,
when Chief Lees came tearing down
into the basement, the lesson had
progressed so satisfactorily that the
drummers were marching up and
down the chamber beating HAY foot,

lead airily twirling a broom in lieu
of a baton. while a smile that looked
like cross between a case of stom-

and then he stopped in astonishment.
The procession also came to a halt,
and Whitman fastened to explain that
he had reached the conclusion that 1t
was high time that the drum corps
got down to work, and hoping to give
his Chief a pleasant surprise he had
ordered the men to begin practicing
without further delay.
That's all right replied the Chief,
"only we heard the racket down on
Market street, and everybody sup
posed there was more trouble with
the volunteers. Say, the boys are do

surveyed the scene admiringly.

ed in review before his expectant
subordinates. There was something
doing; the men could see that at a

of Arctics dts coming on winter or
the reading of another pronunciamen-

determine. They were not kept long
in suspense, however
Men" began the captain in that
Chilkoot Pass voice of his that rang
through the assembly room like a
trapped blast on a fog horn. Men,
you have all heard about the fife and
drum corps we are organizing for our
beloved Chief! Well, 1t goes. Here,
now, none of your hilarity; I'll break
the first man that smiles. AS [ was
saying, it's all ready for business, that
is, the drum corps is. We're a few
shy on fifers yet. but we've got six
teen drummers in the three uptown
divisions, and they will begin practice
|, when they report off duty at mid
night. We've engaged Hallelujah Pete,
the drummer of the Salvation Army
band, as instructor and he will be on
hand In the shooting gallerey in the
basement. OF course, the men will be
expected to pay him, but his terms
are reasonable.
I'm my division we will have eight
drummers to start with, and | expect
, to have as many fifers in few weeks.

subordinate's extremities, you've got
another guess coming to you, and it's
overdue now. That little performance
of yours looked mighty neat and you
can paste a revenue stamp to 1t that
your Uncle Isaiah is going to lead that
drum corps. In reading up the law on
the Botkin case L find that as Chief Of
Police all honors there are going fall
to me, and your uncle is not famous
for overlooking any bits. Now, Frosty,
there's no use feeling sore over this.
You're only captain, while 1 am Chief,
and, besides, I'll give you some more
gold lace and let you ride a horse If
you can-I mean, If you wish. Now,
that's fair, and I don't know but you
are getting the best of it, for you will
ride and wear a sword, while l must
say, Frosty, do all drum majors walk?
Didn't you ever hear of a mounted
drum major? No! Well, why couldn't
/ introduce the fashion? Now, here's
an idea l can ride horse just the
same and wear that sword the boys
are going to buy for me, too. That
will be hung on my left side, and / can
swing my drum majors baton in my
right hand. Say, Frosty, amt that
great? and a bearskin shake; I'll have
to get the Commissioners to provide
for that In my regulation uniform,
and that gold belt slung across the
shoulders drum majors wear-baldric,
l think they call 1t, and Frosty" here
the Chiefs eyes sparkled with delight,
II guess may be l can wear two pairs
of eqaulettes on my new uniform-one
to designate my rank as Chief of
Police and the other as drum major.
Now, Frosty, all this will come to you
after l retire and you become Chief
but at present you will have to occupy
a gallery seat and give your uncle the
whole dress circle Besides, it would
not do for you to throw the boys down
by not wearing your sword after tax
ing them for it. Now, We'll start up
the drums again and I'll just try my
hand at leading them,'' and the ven
cradle Chief seized the broom and
pranced off gayly at the head of the
procession.
1t is announced from the Office of the
Chief of Police that rehearsals of the
drum corps will be held daily Cor
nightly hereafter, and already prop
erty within twelve blocks Of the City
Hall has deprecated 40 per cent The
Chief will soon address communica-

Miller asking them to get UP mill

ment, drum corps and ALL to pilot the
