Show When Barker Barked. Sergeant Barker was in a bad temper, tem-per, and the recruits under instruction were having a hard time of it. The squad had to 'bout turn so many times in a few seconds that it was no wonder the poor fellows got dizzy, and Smudgcr Smifl finished up by turning about the wrong way. Sergeant Barker got in a towering rage and striding up to Smudger roared : "Where the dickens do you think you are? On parade, or what?" "Well, sergeant," replied Smudger, meekly, "I began to think I was fit a fancy-dress ball dressed up as a bloomin' leg o' mutton, and twisting round and round on a meat-jack." |
