"You'll hear about it when you get to camp," he declared. Then another powerful-looking trooper was Bighted on the kerb. Two members of tho picket approached him, and informed him that he had better fall in. He demurred, and was taken by the ' shoulder, but indignantly protested. There was a scuffle and thecrowd grew larger. Then the police intervened, out this only stimulated him to further resistance. He fought furiously, while the crowd watched the struggle. Then the resisting trooper realised the odds were against him, and gave in. But ho was not taken with the other troopers, but acompariied the two conStables to tho Police Station. .
