Mr.. BR|DGMAN FLEW
Colonel Bryant Gives the
Captain a Pointer.
DOUBLE QUICK FOR DEPOT
Didn't Know How Serious the
Situation Was.

Sunday afternoon Captain Newton
Bridgman discovered. of a sudden, that
he was in the United States army.
Some time ago Captain Bndgman re-
ceived his appointment. The assignment
was a long time coming, but It came at
last, one day last week. He was ordered
to Middletown, Pennsylvania, He felt
exceedingly good. He was around shak-
ing hands and receiving congratulations
and jollifying generally. He had recon-
mended that Frank Burt be mis- secretary
To increase his joy the war department
appointed Frank Burt. Bridgman and
Burt had planned TO leave Wichita today
and join the army together.
Sunday night, the story IS told. Captain
Bridgman happened TO fall into converse
ton with Colonel Bryant, retired, who
lives in this city.
Captain Bridgman told the colonel all
about his appointment and assignment
and asked the colonel what he thought
about 1t.
The following conversation ensued, It Is
said. although il is hearsay:
ut is good place, Captain Bridgman-

course Ill take it,

ordered you're ordered, and the thing to
do is to obey that order like lightning
you think ought TO go to Nfiddletown
at once?"
Il know you ought You ought to have
gone when you received that order"
That was all. Captain Bridgeman made
a flying jump for home. He rumma ged
through the drawers of the bureau like a
young cyclone, dumped shirts, pants,
shoes and collars indscrimately into a
valise, yelled out the expediency to his
wife and made for the depot.
He fairly few. The Fast Mail wasn't
In 1t with Captain Bridgman.
When he got on the train he>sank back

And probably for the first time he real
lied that an order in the service OF Uncle
Sam is at the very least an order.
Secretary Burt is Immediately under
Captain Bridgman and will follow him on
the Santa EFF this morning.
Captain Bridgman will don his uniform
in Chicago.
