three day tours of the county. Com

here once every two weeks the
president of the village Of Liberty
said recently to Captain Robinson.
"Probably they won't have anything
to do when they do ride through,
but it does the rough element here
world of good just to see the
troopers"
Acting on this theory, the trooper
IN uniform always advertises his
presence. While spending a night
in town he must be about the streets
until 10 O'Clock ut night, ostensbly
to look out for violations of the
motor vehicle law, but really to serve
notice upon the population that the
troopers are in town. Many a clew
to pulling ease has been whis-
peved from the shadows to the gray
coats as they tramp about the vii
LAGOS in the evenings.
Through their friendship and tol-
erance toward the people the troop
ers have come to hc regarded as
the solution to every vcNing problem.
Some one in the village Of Colonle
had been stealing "Thc Albany Ar

called up the troop.

"Come on" the major remarks,
"we'll go out to G."
On little hill, one side of which
is washed by the clear waters of a
brook, stands G Troops barracks.
In front, in back and to the other
side pleasant rolling meadowland
reaches away. The building itself
is a tall, ungainly structure. Orig
inally it was a farmhouse. Its
builder evidently wrought for com
ing generations and looked for each
generation to yield a bumper crop.
So large is the house that it is hard
to believe that it had been Occupied
originally by private family. The
rooms are high ceiled and we'll
lighted by many windows. The
walls are as sturdy and sound as
when they were built.
Behind the barracks are the sta
bles, temporary structures, one
story in height and covered, not
beautifully but warmly, with tar
paper. There is also the garage
where the three automobiles and the
motorcycles owned by the troop and
used for trailing automobile law vio-
lators are housed.
A half dozen gray-clad troopers
lounging about the porch slipped
back into the house as the majors
car approached. A tall, broad-shoul-
dered, slim-waisted figure with two
silver diamonds on his shoulder
straps rose from his desk as the
uperintendent entered the office.

Captain Robinson was one Of the

vania State Constabulary and the
Royal Northwest Mounted. He pre-
fors to have them compared with
the New York State troopers.
Records show that G Troop, with
barracks near Albany, has a slightly
higher score than the other outfits
as far as arrests and convictions are
concerned. Possibly this is due to
the nature of the territory which it
patrols. This includes the Catskils
and their outlying spurs, whose
depths shelter q people as lawless
and decadcnt as any in the southern
highlands, and the Adrondacks,
whose natives have held for years a
hearty contempt for all man-madc
law.
The major has spent the day sort

then accepting candidates for the
department. They stand before

looks them over There are half a
dozen of them, young and, if one
may judge by lean TANKS and slim
waistlines, former cavalrymen. In

work because he likes it. We ex-
pect him to be on the level and give
the best he has in him.

full though brave, useful and beautl-
full, but he cannot sing. The bird

envy. When the bird gets on tin roof
or gutter, and is feeling facetious, its
work with its beak is marvellous.

cause of the yellow revealed in its

Equality Of Opportunity.

1t is the pride of every American
that many cherished names, at whose
mention our hearts bound, were worn
by the sons of poverty who conquered
obscurity and became fixed stars In
our armament. There is no horizontal
stratlfication in this country like the
rocks of the earth, that holds one
class below fOrevermore, and let's an
other come to the surface to stay there
forever. Our stratlfication is like the

sternest depths of the deep any drop
