William McManus, East Indian Veteran Who
Served as Model for Rudyard Kipling's
Most Famous Character.

think of turning out uncleanly as of dis
pensing with his trousers"
And those who have read the tale know
it was the dirty little pig-scraper," Null
lins who did the thing for pure meanness,
as Ortheris said. But Mullins was not
Mullins any more than Torrance Null
vaney was not William McManus. Null
Inns name was Adams, the first captain
under whom McManus served. 1t was
Adams who halted at the battle of Oval
lab and feared to go. 1t was Adams who
was court-martialed and-but that is
getting ahead of the tale, and you who
read Kipling ought 10 be told some of the
facts in Private Mulvaney's career that
Kipling has not yet set down and prob
ably never will, for now he is writing
jungle stories and ballads.
Private Mulvaney-that is to say, Will
liam McManus-was born in the Grecian
archipelago, on the island of Cephalonia
in 1889. Both his father and mother were
Irish born and reared, and his father was
private in the Thirtieth Regiment of the
line, that was then stationed at Cephalo-
mia along with the army of occupation,
when the transfer of the Ionian group was
made from Greece to Great Britain. Two
years and half later, when the army was
returning to England, the elder McManus
died at sea and was buried off the island of
Malta. He had not been in the service
long enough for his widow to be entitled to
pension, but the company made up a
purse for her and she got back to Ireland.
They were very poor in Ireland, and Will
liam must needs work as soon as his
years would permit. In this way his
education was totally neglected, and
1t is not strictly true as Kipling says
that "Mulvaney wrote me an invitation
on tool-indent form to visit him" when
he became 'ker-nel" on the Government
railway line in India, for truth to tell
neither then nor thereafter could this bar
rack-room hero either read or write.
When William was Is years old his
mother married again, and it was then
that he took up the sword of his father
and entered her Majesty's service He en-
listed at the Royal Barracks in Dublin as
volunteer for the Crimea. But the peace
of Odessa was signed November IA of that
year, and his draft was sent to the schools
of instruction at Curragh of Kildare and
Aldershot.
L
the Duke of Cambridge, who is first cousin
to the Queen, and now commander-in-
chief of the army" said William McManus,
when he told me the story of his life yes
terday, and 1 noticed that his tongue was
not quite so broad and charmingly Celtic
as is that of Kipling's Mulvaney. Yet there
are many touches in Mulvaney's language
that bear striking resem blance to those
of William McManus.
''The Duke had just returned from the
Crimea, and was distributing medals for
good behavior to the soldiers who had
been in the service for eighteen years.
The Duke noticed that a cornet of the
Fourth Royal Irish Dragons was making
memoranda of the speech on the sleeve of
his gauntlet.
"A soldier has lots to contend with
said the Duke. What with snobby
orporals, drunken old serge ants, officers

A Clever Scheme.

A young man helped pretty girl of
about eighteen summers into one of
the coaches of local train on the
Penny" last evening, saw that her
parcels were properly stored in the seat
by her side, and then unhesitatingly
bent over the fair maiden and imprint
ed kiss on her willing lips. Most OF
the passengers were busy finding seats
and failed to notice the sentimental
parting, but those who did were rather
surprised until they heard the young
man say Good BY"
Tell mother l expect to be home
next Saturday evening"" And then
he left the car. There was only one
man in the car then who had any
doubt that the girl was the young fell
lows sister, and, considering her sweet
ness, was not surprised at his displa y
of fondness for her. The doubling
Thomas, who sat few seats back, took
occasion to remark to the passenger in
the seat beside him as the train pulled
out: That's the third time | have seen
that couple play that game within a
week, and I'll bet fiver that she ism u
his sister Just take notice that the
girl gets off at one of the suburban
stations. If he was her brother he
wouldn't kiss her for such short jour
ney, and he would get home more than
once week if his family lived in the
suburbs. Oh, these lovers are mighty
cute, but they shouldn't play the sam c
game too often" And the amateur
Sherlock Homes settled back into hii
