vt length, his last.ouncc os strength
gone, he fell and lay there in the mud,
unable to rise. His father and nuth-
or glanced back at him stolidly ani
went on. Their own strength would
be hardly sufficient to carry them to
camp and suffering lad dullcd their
scnsibilitics. If he could not keep
up he must die where he fell.
Lieut.. Brooke dropped from his
horse, picked the little fellow up and
gallopcd into camp with him. There
he fed him until he could eat no
more, wrapped him in warm blankets
and left him to the long, drcamlcss
sleep Of exhausted childhood. An
old Cuban woman washed his little
cotton shirt and trousers and, after a
few days rest, he was sent back to
I'll Cancy with a generous supply of
provisions.
Two days later the little fellow, still
weak and pale, again appeared in
camp. Going straight to Lieutenant
Brooke, nc took small chicken from
inside his little shirt and, with tears
in his eyes, presented it. 1t was the
only thing he could give him, he said,
to show his appreciation of the senor's
kindness. He had walked all the way
from r. Caney through the deep mud
and after he had made his humble
present he walked back.
Lieut.. Brooke took the chicken to
Gen. Shafter and told its story. The
General tcthercd it to his tent pole.
When he entered Santiago he took
the bird with him. There her nightly
roost was glidcd chandelier in the
Governor palace. When the army
moved out to camp again the chicken
went too. Later she journcycd to
Montauk Point, thence to Governor
Island, and now she struts and
scratches, and cackles contcntcdly in
San Francisco, living reminder Of
deed Of mercy, a pathetic acknowlcdg-
lnent Of the gratitude with which at
least one little rcconccntrado will al
ways recall las Americanos.
