all there is to know about tactics and
the rules of strategy. Wherever there
was fighting the captain was in the

demonstrated that he had forgotten
at least what 1t was to be afraid.
Abou a year after hostiities began
Capt. Buffer came out into the open

had the best of opportunities to get
a first hand account of what was go

abouts when anything was doing,
When l came back from the islands,
two years ago, Capt. Buffer had dis
appeared. Nobody knew where he had
gone or what had become of him.
The other day on a train going to
New York l met an old comrade in
the Philippines, and he told me about
Capt Buffer.

before he left the English service"
he said. "He originally was an officer
in her majesty's Footguards,' which
means a good deal in social way. He
transferred to the Eleventh Bengals
and saw service in India. Meanwhile
he had married an English girl much
younger than himself and had gone
out to India.
"Only year after he went to Simla
he discovered-I don't know how
that his wife was in love with a young
officer in his own regiment. And this
is the part of the story don't suppose
anybody will believe-I'm free to ad-
