One of the English officers who ac-
companied General Gordon through
the Tae-ping rebellion in China, states
that he was followed by Tartar ser
want or orderly, whose faithfuIness
was that of slave. He watched his
eve, jumping to obey every fancied
wish, and slept at the door of his tent
at night.
The officer learned that the Tartar
had been a cowardly soldier who,
when he first faced the enemy, tried
to run away. He was sentenced tc
the block, but Gordon asked for the
life Of the poor wretch and took hln
into his service, observing that surely
better use could be made of him than
to turn him into a headIess carcass.
The man, when permitted again t'
carry gun, fought bravely, and whe
the war was over became an indus
trious citizen.
