five or six hundred Of more or less re-
spectacle citizens, found myself one
Sunday morning in the drillyard Of
the Albany Barracks. 1t was the opin-
ion of the authorities that We could
guard our homes and protect our wives
and children better If, first Of all, we
learned,to roll our eyes right or left"
at the given word of command, and to
walk with our thumbs stuck out. Ac-
cordingly a drill sergeant was appoint
ed to instruct us on these points. He
came out Of the canteen wiping his
mouth and fiicking his leg according
to rule with the regulation cane. But
as he approached US his expression
changed. We were stout, pompous
looking gentlemen, the majority Of Us,
in frock coats and silk hats. The SER
geant was a man with a sense OF the
fitness of things. The idea of shout
ing and swearing at US fell from him,
and that gone there seemed no happy
medium left to him. The stiffness de-
parted from his back. He met US with
a deferential attitude and spoke to US
in the language of social intercourse.
Good morning, gentlemen" said the
sergeant. Good morning." we replied,
and there was pause. The sergeant
fdgeted upon his feet. We waited.
well, now, gentlemen" said the SER
geant with a pleasant smile, what
do you say to falling in?" We agreed
to fall in. He showed US how to do it.
He cast a critical eye along the back
of the rear line. "a little farther for
ward, number three, If you don't mind,
sir" he suggested. Number three, who
was a stout gentleman, stepped for
ward. The sergeant cast his critical
eye along the front of the first line.
"A little farther back, If you don't
mind, sir" he suggested, addressing the
third gentleman from the end. Cant"
explained the third gentleman; much
as can do to keep where am" The
sergeant cast his critical eye between
the lines. "Ah," said the sergeant, "a
little full chested some of us. We win
make the distance another foot, If you
please, gentlemen" In pleasant man
ner- like to this the drill proceeded.

Roman Catholic paper. 1t amounted to
nothing"
Jerome spoke in a low, mumbling
manner. His eyelids nearly met. A
short-sighted man might have thought
he was asleep.
What did you do after that?"
II began writing letters to newspa-
pers such as the Times on various
topics OF the day. 1 remember the
Times referred editorially to one OF my
letters. I was immensely proud Of

mo. had written a satiricaI letter
on the Nude in Art in which 1 sug-
gested that the Almighty had displayed
great indelicacy in creating the human
form. The letter was commented upon
at some length.
1T then occurred to me to write
about my stage experiences. An old
actor criticized the work for me-"
IAN actor?"
Yes" He did not volunteer the
name "The work appeared weekly in
a paper. 1 cannot say 1 made much

yes. The items were nanifoIdsd
and sent around to the various news
papers. Those that used them paid me

very often. Ny weekly stipend did not
run into anything colossal However,

CLINT in his eye told the listener that
despite his present comfortable sur
roundfngs, Jerome remembered In de-
tail just how he managed to get
along"
"One day." he said, IT walked into
the Sunday Times Office and asked If
they wanted a dramatic critic 1 had

stage. I was appointed critic and
wrote dramatic matter for that and

anything but an egotist-
Jerome shuts himself up IN q study
every morning and dictates to a short

that this manner Of working would In
sure a large volume Of matter from his
pen, but he assured me his output daily
was very small.
