A youth of 18 who was in the trench
es at Ell Caney carrying gun was SO
badly frightened under fire that he
went fiat on his face and was roundly
kicked by his companions. General
Chaffee came along and called to him.
"Well, you're fine soldierl' Then he
looked at the boyish face Of the kid,
and his face softened. 81 suppose you
can't help it," he said. "It amt SO
much your fault. I'd like to get hold
of the fellow that took you into the ar
N.Y." By and by he put his hand on
the boys shoulder. "There isn't SO
much danger as you think for, " said
the general. "Now, you get up and
take your gun and fight, and I'll stand
here by you.
The boy got up, shaking like leaf
and fred his first shot pretty near
straight into the air.
"That's pretty high" said the gen.
eral keep cool and try it again.

said. you'll make good soldier.
"God bless you, sir, said the young
ster. "You saved me from worse than
DEATH" And he was pretty close to cry
ing when he said it.
After a while. the order came to re-
tire from the trench, and soldiers had
to collar that kid and haul him away
by the neck to get him to retreat with
his company. And at that he'd got a
bullet through the fleshy part Of his
shoulder an hour before In the rest Of
the fights there wasn't a better soldier
