Ter, is about Ave feet high and rather
deaf, but he thinks nobly of his i'm
portance to the band. When the band
parades, IT always takes the same
course through the main streets; but
the other day the leader, for some
purpose known only to himself, turned
down a bystreet. The little drummer
did not see what was happening i'll
front of him. for to compensate for his
lack of height he holds his drum high
before him. So with his gaze con-
centrated> on his music he banged
away. and marched straight ahead. as

he finished his part, and, hearing no
other instruments, he stopped. Part
Of the crowd had accompanied him.
and they gave him q cheer. But he
was i'll at ease. He showed his drum
to one side and gazed ahead; then on

and has been freed from extraneous
matter, it is divided into cakes OF
