Yours truly Snookum Jim." In Red River carts, squeaking and shrieking to the four winds of the prairie, on weary horses, on foot, the "Mounties" of ‘74 made their historic trek to the mountains. They battled prairie fires; they suffered heat and hail and dremching rains; they were plagued by grasshoppers and misled by mirages and deceitful guides. But out of that travail, out of those dreadâ€" ful 1000 miles, was born the esprit de corps for which the force is famous to this day In ‘74, the scarlet made itself seen in the West, Handicapped frightfully by inexperience, by lack of equipment, the force crossed the plains from Win~ nipeg and went to the foot of the Rockies. Those were the genuine wild and woolly days when a letter such as this, from a man at Whoop Up manifested the temperature of the country : {celings expladed in the vicinity ~@ a nonâ€"commissioned officer they were liable to lose a tenâ€"dollar bill out of it in fines. But they were allowed some liberties. "All individuals of the police force can please themselves," accordâ€" ing to one of the first regulations, "as to wearing whiskers, mustaches . or beards, but those who prefer to shave must do so daily." As the handful of greenhorns who had to administer 300,000 square miles of territory, was added, in the spring. another bandful of grednhorns much greener, because the first 150, after a lusty winter, were now swagâ€" gering veterans. When the City of Winnipeg was a scrap heap of shacks, almost indisâ€" tinguisbable from the mud, the North West Mounted Police force was born. It was in the winter cf 1873. Canada, Itself, was only six years old. _ As someone has said, it was significant that the force should come to life in winter. It was prophetic of the hard. ships the policemen were to endure and of the courage and steadfastness with which they were to endure them. Quartered at Lower Fort Garry, on the Red River, near Winnipeg, the 150 clerks, farmers and carriageâ€"makâ€" ers who were the originals threw themselves into rigorous training. It was they who were to start the ball rolling to fulfill the dream of Sir John A. Macdonald, the Dominion‘s first premier, for a mobile force that would patrol the outlying stretches of the wide country, linking farâ€"flung British Columbia with the eastern provinces, deal with the Indians, collect customs and prevent whiskeyâ€"smuggling. They were paid 50 cents a day and if their Romance dies hard. There is someâ€" thing wrong with the judgment of those who dolefully shake their heads at this mechanical age and long for ‘"the good old days." If they only knew it, there is as much glamor about a twentiethâ€"century express train as there ever was about one of the good oldâ€"fashioned, creaking, jolting stageâ€" coachesâ€"and a hundred times more comfort. What the doletul ones for. get is that romance keeps step with the times. Romance is eternal: it does not die: it changes. The Roval Canaâ€" dian Mounted Police was cradled in glamor and in glamor it has grown to manhood, Times have changed since the Blackfeet went scalping over the plains, in the seventies; the fever of the Klondike has glimmered out; the plains have given themselves to farms and cities; but if times have changed, the "Mounties" have changed to meet them: bey have pushed to the far reaches of the white North; they bave taken to themselves a new glamâ€" or. The tradition of the romantic past and the romance of the present are symbolized in the scarlet tunic. It is no wonder that girls from Kansas and California, who come to Jasper Nationa, Park on vacations, insist on snapping their Kodaks in front of the tall, sraight men with the yellow stripes down their breches and are thrilled to the marrow when someone suggests that they be photographed with the "Mounties!"

Wunsch and Cooper worked for hours, rubbing them with snow and slush. Their own bands began to freeze and Paton implored them to leave him alone and look after themselves.

They have to do _with lonely patrols in the Arctic circle, with blizzards and desperate singleâ€"handed battles _ against the freezing winds, and with the same, old patience, the same old dogged deâ€" votion, the same highâ€"minded ideals of justice combined with the old symâ€" pathetic understandinrg of circumâ€" stances. The man in the scarlet tunic has brought magic into the North. A white trader is murdered by Eskimos. Months pass. Out of the sky drops the Law. The Sergeant is alone, but he becomes Justice of the Peace and policeman. He issues warrants and executes them. He gathers evidence and witnesses. He turns into coroner. He becomes jailer, The Judge wins in his wig and gown and the murderâ€" ers are sent off into the country where white men are as thick as mosâ€" quitoes,. There is in Jasper National Park a man who fulfills in himself all the traâ€" ditions and all the romance of the force. Sergenat J. R. Paton, who won his Miitary Cross in the warâ€"he was adjutant with the 16th Canadian Scotâ€" tishâ€"was on parol in the far north of British _ Columbia, with Inspector Sandys Wunsch, and a constable named Cooper. The Liard post is one of the most isolated in the province, because of distance and because of roughness of the country and the difâ€" ficulties of transport. The object of the patrol which worked in from Wrangell, Alaska, was to get in touch with wandering Indians and meet white trappers and prospectors. . It was in January last year. The tem-] perature had been 40 and 50 below zero but it had risen to 35 'helow.j Paton was ahead on the trail, feeling the ice of the river with a pole. He suddenly slipped and fell, plunging his left arm up to the elbow in the icy water and wetting his right mitt as be scrambled to his feet. He was in peril and he knew it.
