It is evident that a good deal of rivalry has already sprung up among the various districts and that the town will watch with interest to see which district makes its quota first.

If only something would happen Mr. Flaher- ty's natural instinct for excitement would lead him immediately to the scene. But nothing happened ex- cepting, perhaps, the solemness be- came more profound. And Flaherty sighed again. He closed one eye as he gazed across the sunlit stretch of village green, and could almost dis- cern fairies and nymphs leaping hither and thither about the lawn and beckoning to him with graceful gestures. Then he closed the other eye. When just about to quaff the re- freshing draught of "green river" from a golden goblet, Flaherty was prodded into consciousness by Chief of Police Waino M. Peterson, who called his attention to an automobile truck backing into the fire depart- ment station. The driver of the truck struggled with a huge crate and launched into a profane description of heavenly things, until Flaherty generously offered to help him, But still the mysterious crate threatened to drop through their combined grip and dash to ruin on the floor. It was then that the valiant employes of the village rushed in to save the situation. They did. The box was gently placed on the floor. It was opened. It was a phonograph. While Flaherty registered supreme happi- ness in the receipt of the gift which he had sought through the columns of the TALK, the rest of the gather- ing watched several more trucks drive up and deposit huge piles of phonograph records on the station ! floor. Whoever was the generously inclined citizen Flahertyfs appeal for the musical instrument, he was no piker when lavishness was the object. The police had to move most of their equipment to some other place and finally Mr. Flaherty sat down and mused over the generous gift. A phonograph, he thought, was meant to be played. So he wound up the machine and played a record reproducing correctly a crowd of baseball fans offering sug- gestions to an umpire after a doubt- ful decision. The effect was startling. The police and residents within a block radius urgently requested something less noisy. So Flaherty placed a soothing lullaby melody on the machine. Once more he closed one eye and solilo- quized upon nature's wonders. When someone played "Nellie Gray," Fla- herty's other eye closed. Once more the dancers of Elfland flitted into view. But elfs and alarm clocks are not synonymous. So when the police de- partment's "Big Ben" rang out clear and strong like the war trumpet of Mars, Flaherty's sense of beauty was offended. This was due partly to the fact that the noise caused him to bump his head, but all in all, he has decided that a fire department is no place for music.
