 The major first burst into fame the "man who carried the message to Garcia" shortly before the opening of the Spanish War in 1898.

 After his meteorc debut the modest major re- turned to his regiment and continued to fulfil his duties if nothing had happened. He bore his honors easily, for any talk about his being hero was all bosh, he claimed.
 While fighting in the Spanish War, and later against the wild tribesmen of the Philippines the major won further distinction. Lately he has been resting quietly with his regiment at Fort Douglas, Utah, but finding such inactivity irksome he re- signed from the service.
 He could fight, and enjoyed it. But he couldn't idle away his time with pleasure. Wasn't he the man to carry the message to Garcia?
