ReCnwnixed Their Old Friend.

The late Sir John Steel, who was
sculptor to Queen Victoria, was model
ing bust Of Miss Nightingale when
an officer Of one of the Highland regi-
ments which had suffered so cruelty
in the Crimea heard that the bust
had just been completed and was in
Sir Johns studio. Many of the men
in his company had passed through
the hospital at Scutari, and he OBJ
tanned permission from the sculptor to
bring some of them to see 1t. Accord
ing1y a squad Of men one day march
ed into the studio and stood in line.
They had no idea why they had been
mustered in so strange place. With
out word Of warning the bust was
uncovered, and then, as by one i'm
pulse, the men broke rank and with
cries of Miss Nightingale, Miss Night
ingale!" surrounded the model and
with hats off, cheered the figure of
their devoted nurse until the roof
rang So spontaneous and hearty and
so inspiring was the whole scene that
in after days Sir John STEEL declared
1t to be the greatest compliment of his

time, and the soldiers of Uncle Sam
had to hold in check the madness of
the men that swarmed into the new
Ell Dorado. Few Of those who started
across the mountains and the deserts
that fenced off California knew of the
hardships they must face. Each new
arrival brought tales Of horror from
the trail Lost and starving, the i'm
migrants struggled off their paths, un-
til sacrifice of life made terrible the
days.
Finally Rucker was ordered east.
He left San Francisco in a steamer
for Panama, with Lieutenant Sherman
-afterward General Sherman-as one
of his companions. They made the
trip across the isthmus Of Panama
by ponies and small boats and then
sailed for Jamaica, where Sherman
and Rucker paid friendly call on
General Santa Ana, whom they had
worsted at Buena Vista. Major Rucker
saw several years Of comparatively
peaceful service in the East and then
he was again sent out to the frontier.
This time his battlefields covered New
Mexico, in constant warfare with the
Apaches. While he was in this work
the civil war broke out and he was
ordered back to Washington.
In September, 1861, he was pro-
noted to Colonel of volunteers and in
May, 1863, President Lincoln made
him Brigadier General Of volunteers.
In 1866 he was made Brevet Majr
General of volunteers and in 1866 he
was mustered out of the volunteer
ranks.
But he was made Colonel and as
sistant quartermaster general of the
regular service and served as such I'M
til February 10, 1882, when he was
made Brigadier General and quarter
master general. At that time he had
seen forty-fve years of service and
seventy-one years of life. He was
then placed on the retired list as a
Major General.
He is still hale and hearty and de-
lights in walks in the beautiful por-
ton of residential Washington, near
his home; but he is leading a quiet
life. and even the excitement of recall
ing the hard days of fighting Is too
much for his strength. With him lives
his daughter, Miss Sarah Rucker.
Another daughter, Mrs. Philip H.
Sheridan, widow of the hero of Win
chester, lives but a few blocks away,
where she can see the statue of her
husband that a grateful nation erected
In all his years of service General
Rucker was never wounded. What is
more remarkable In all the years Of
service and hardship he was never
Ill for a single day.

curb or control their emotions. Wave
