NOT LIKE ROMANCE
THE "soLDIER OF FORTUNE" IN
REAL LIFE.
Differs In Many Material Respects
from the Heroes Who Figure SO
Prominently In the Pages
of NoveIists.

Richard Harding Davis and other
writer's of lesser note have cast a
glamour over the title, Soldier of For
tune which possibly applies to GER
tain victims of wanderlust and love of
unusual adventure, but which is hor-
rible misfit to the only individual the
writer ever knew whose many adven-
lures by field and food, and beneath
half-dozen flags, properly placed him
in the class of Capt. Macklin, Red
Saunders and others known to readers
of fiction, says writer in the Atchi-
son Globe. Sam Chalmers was the
name our soldier of fortune gave to
those who asked. incidentally, he
was the homeliest man we ever met
a large, slouching, loose-jointed crea-
ture, who looked half man and half
gorilla. His feet and hands We're too
large for his big body and he handled
both as if they were something of
burden. He was dish-faced, had bleary
eyes and the complexion of tan shoe
after you have worn it through dewy
grass.
Chalmers was always dirty and
usually drunk-a man without a Wis
ible redeeming personal feature and
little mental attraction. But he had
accomplishments; he knew enough of
the sea to make it carry him where he
would, and, perhaps, something more.
He could speak several languages and
a half-dozen native dialects, including
that of New York's East side (the
hardest to understand, where he
claimed to have originated at some in
definite date in the past. He seemed
to have a knowledge of all the ports
of all the seven seas and could, when
he would. tell interesting tales of
fighting Zulus in South Africa. bush
men in Australia, pirates off the China
coast and several other strange and
unpleasant creatures in other outland-
ish places.
Americans found him in an isolated
Filipino stronghold on the island of
Leyte, and he said he had been taken
prisoner when he came ashore from
hemp ship. The natives said he had
been a captain of the insurgent army,
and perhaps he had, although he de-
MED it for obvious reasons. At any
rate, he wasn't an officer with them
for patriotism or love, for he turned
American scout and fought them with
lust for blood amounting to savagery.
He was brave, as the bulldog is-be-
cause it knows no better-which
seemed to be his only trait in common
with the other soldiers of fortune OF
whom we have read.
Later we met him as second mate
on a wind TANNER at Nagasaki. The
sea was home to Chalmers and he only
quit it occasionally to find fight and
q more convenient place to get drunk.
Had Chalmers turned to the land in
stead of the sea in his earlier years
he would have ended as only a COM
mon tramp. AS it was, he is tramp,
but of more uncommon kind. 1t Is
the tramp instinct which makes
soldiers of fortune, although,
perhaps, some of them, more fortu-
nate, do wear immaculate white duck
suits and pith helmets. But the only
one we ever met was not very 'classy"
and he kind of shook our faith in Capt.
