bullet had left mark upon his head.
Skillfully covering the wound with his
nat, the lieutenant kept his place in the
trench with his men, After the fall of
Colonel Liscum the leadership devolv-
ed upon Major Lee, and, seeing no hope
of carrying the position in front with
his thinned out command, he selected
Lawton to go back with a message to
the British general asking for help.
There was no way to reach the gen..
eral except back over the bloody rice
field, which the Chinese still swept
with pitiless fire. When the fearless
aid climbed out Of the trench and start
ed for the rear, the men thought he
must be dazed and shouted warnings
to call him to his senses. The Chi
nese marksmen took him for target
and got in their shots so well that the
lieutenant began to speculate on where
he would be hit. II was not frighten-

No man wants to court death. l didn't.
But here is where the pride of duty,
vanity or what you will plays a part.
1t is not fearlessness, however, for the
man who says he knows no fear in bat
tie is either a fool or liar. I was
afraid, but my pride and four years of
West Point training and seven years
active service in the regular army
would not let me hesitate.
"We were in bad place. 1t was my
duty to get re-enfOrcements to help us
out. 1t would never do to be accused
of cowardice. No man wants the finger
OF scorn pointed at him. l didn't.
That is the whole idea of the so called
fearlessness in a nutshell. Pride i'm

certain death even when a reluctance
to give up your life in an apparently
foolhardy undertaking makes you hes

Lawton got the re-enforcements and
led them to the front as far as the Off
Ger in command would go. But when
he declared that he wouldn't take them
across the fire zone where the Ninth
had gone in Lawton said, II must re-
port to Major Lee" and kept on alone.
The Chinese marksmen knew their
man, and just as he reached the last

dug a trench for the wounded hero to
lie in, and just as he was placed in 1t

right foot. Left to their fate, the men

retreated.

more than a show of resistance as COM

the English writer as Drawing every

to the legations Captain Reilly kept
down the sharpshooters' fire by push

enemy's cover.
In the attack on the imperial gate the
battery cut down the Chinese on the
wall in swarms, and at the very last

captain was killed while directing the

A News Service Without Parallel.


There is ample Justification for
the claim made by The Chicago
Record Herald that its readers
enjoy every day IN the week,
Sundays included, Il news service
that is without parallel in range
and completeness. The reason Is
obvlous-the combination of the
varied and extensive facilities OF
the two great dailies, The Chicago
Record and The Chicago Times
Herald. In addition to the lnde-
pendent news facilities OF both
papers, The Record Herald re-
ce1ves tina complete news service
of the New York Herald, The
New York Tribune and The AS
sociated Press: and when it is CON
sldered that its news columns are
supplemented by all the special
features so popular in the Chicago
Record and The Chicago Tines
Herald, it will be seen that The
Record Herald holds unique
place among the great newspap-
ers of the United States.

A CANTEEN RESULT.
War Department Clerk Who Drinks
at Outside Resorts.
Chicago New Voice,

Chicago New Voice,
A correspondent writing from this
city to this great anti-canteen organ,
tells this tale of a department clerk:
"The deplorable results Of abandon
ing the sale of beer in army Canteens
uas broken out in the War Department
in a most malignant form, Last night
one of the best known clerks in the
department went to his home at 21S
r street. northwest, about half drunk.
For awhile he amused himself by abus-
ing his wife am thTey childTen-one
a baby in his crib-threatening their
lives and other playful things. Then
he went out for more drink, ana re-
turned about midnight, fighting drunk.
He began shooting off a revolver, and
yelled to his wife to come down stairs
an get killed. He next cornered his
wife in the bedroom. But she seized
his wrists and saved her life, Some
yelled 'murder' and some blew police
whistles. When the officers arrived
the War Department inebriate fought
the police q s long as his strength last
ed. To-day he was put under $500
bail in the police court for his appear
ance.
Some years ago a bnnd pig was op.
Grated in the War department build
ing under the express authority of
William c. Enditott, Secretary of War
in the Cabin,t Of the President, who
Is known to fame for his alleged abil-
ity to take Off his shhirt without un-
buttoning his collar. This blind pig was
later abandoned on account of the
reckless and unrcaconing scoflng Of ia
natics After the closing Of the phil
anthropic blind pig, Campbell began
drinking at outside resorts, and this
mess is what IL led to. II seems pro-
bable that the only way to work out
the renegeration Of Campbell Is a
restore this benevolent speak-easy."
