SO dlsigured by cattle sores the curse
of the veldt, that never saw them un-
bandaged With his intrepid haroism
he had saved the lives of so many OF his
men that in talking to them 1t almost

"a strange, stern, strong-tempered
man. whose pride It seemed to be to re-
press all his own emotion and to smother

man peremptorlly back to his duty who
came into his tent to ask him to read a
letter In which a mother thanked him
for saving the life OF her son."
