Not an Occasion for Haste.

Many stories are told of the conspicuous per sonal bravery of Field Marshal Sir Neville C,hamberiain, who died recently in England. full of years and honors. Some of these sto1 ries are probably wholly mythical Tor the field marshas long career was varied m the extreme and it would indeed be strange 1T something of the apochryphal were not min gled with his life history. The following iittie tale. however, is so characteristic that IL IS probably true:
 In the Sikh war. Chamberlain. who then held the rank of colonel. called for volun- teers to assist him in blowing up a bastion Three or four responded and the colonel led the little party close up to the point where the mine was to be fired. As soon as the eS- the volunteers started to run. in order to get out of the way of the explosion no less than to effect. as speedily as possible. their retreat in the safety of the British lines. They had not gone a dozen yards before Chamberlain shouted. Come back! There's to be no inde- cent haste, young men. We'll walk.
 And walk they did, while the fuse slowly snuttered down to the waiting powder.
