dy Roberts of Sandhurst had grown in
experience and honor. He had become
General Lord Roberts. He had been
made field marshal and given the
right to put many letters after his
name Shiny medals had been pinned
on the breast of his dress uniform and
other pretty baubles hung around his
neck.
More than all these, he had Won the
confidence of the government and the
love of the nation. He had come to be
known simply as "Bobs," a ridiculous
diminutiye, to be sure, but very signifi-
cant when it happens to be familiar to
a great nation.
BY no one lucky chance and by no
accident OF birth OF position did this
change come about. He was only 10
and a lieutenant when in 1851 he enter
ed the Bengal artillery and was sent
overseas to help maintain the peace on
the borders of India.
He was one of the $4,000 or fewer
who dominated 25O,OOO,OOO natives. He
learned to be ''strong with the strength
OF the race, to command, to obey. to
endure" Year after year he worked
a simple undistinguished lieutenant
until the mutiny.
1t was in 1857 and 1858 that he had
his first serious taste Of war, and 8
strong taste it was. He, was at first
one OF Nicholson's staff officers, at the
head Of the Punjab movable column
Then he went to Delhi, on the artillery
staff, and had a horse shot under hin
at the capture of that city.
Next he went with Sir Colin Camp
bell to the relief Of Lucknow. There
was plenty of fighting all the way, ant
he was foremost in it. But when the!
got close to the rebel lines a still more
stirring task awaited him. Sir Colin

Irish birth But while Roberts career
has been laid largely in India, Kitchen
er has won his way to fame in Egypt
and the Sudan. Like the Strick-
land sahib Of one of Kipling's hill sto-
ries, Kitchener founded his success by
long and patient study Of the people
whom he had to fight. He came to-
know the many dialects spoken by the
desert tribes, and he schooled himself
so thoroughly in their ways that's he
could pass as one Of them at will.
For example, at one OF his army's
camps on the Nile two Arab date sell
ers were arrested as suspected spies
and confined in the guard tent. Short

was hastily bundled into the tent. An
animated jabbering ensued between

1t was Kitchener. Again, only q few
minutes passed when an orderly hur-
ried up, and a spade was handed to

marched outside the lines, dug their
graves and were shot. They were dan
