That was a pretty tough thing to have to say TO a
soldier with Uncle Sans uniform on his back. SUCK!
Mueller's face went almost white under realization mat
the true significance of that admonition was that the
sergeant had a pretty strong fear in his heart mat thls
trumpet tooter was a coward. Stick! He would sho"
them IL he was only given a chance.
Sergeant Peter Nelson was an old and tried cam
paigner, indeed, but that day he had made a mistake.
He led his three men straight into an ambush. There
was a score of painted Nez Perces straight across their
track. The Indians had very little cover, but they used
1t so artfully that the old sergeant had actually thought
that the bit of embankment and the few scattered bowl
ders did not offer cover enough to conceal a jack rapDlI
The first intimation of the Indians presence was q
volley. Sergeant Nelson went to the ground with a
wound In his side. One of the p~rivates, shot through the
shoulder and leg. fell with him. The two men crawled
behind a couple of rocks and secured temporary shelter.
At the savage volley Hans Muellers heart went to his
throat. With the other private, who, like Hans, was I'M
hit, he fell back about 40 yards and went behind an ade-
quate cover. There for five minutes they exchanged
shots with the reds, who, in accordance with Indian Gus.
tom, would not charge across the open, but depended
rather upon being able to pick off the soldiers and then
to go forward without danger and take the scalps. Hans
Mueller found that he could use his carbine. His heart
went down in his throat. He looked around him and
saw that there was. some chance of holding the savages
off for hours. Out beyond he saw his two stricken COM
rades. They were not dead. He knew that because ne
saw them move and occasionally weakly raise them
selves and send a shot in the direction of the red foe.
Hans said to himself, Those men must be brought back
here" Then he handed his carbine to his comrade and
with it his belt and ammunition. you may need these"
he said, IF those fellows hit me-" Then he jumped over
the rock in front Of him and with his long, s~hamb1ing,
ungainly stride he made for the side OF Sergeant Nelson.
The Indians pumped at him. The balls whzzed by his

Sn"Iacterized Sergeant Nelson, Corporal Brady and a
sOole OF privates he knew could never be his. There was
.aoAihg in his makeup that something which gives dash

uLinllitary way and his hands were never in their proper
paces' There was one thing, however, that could be

Kept on the jump most of the time for a month. L troop
was Hans outfit. There had been one constant success
sion OF scoutings. 1t had been necessary to send small
squads in half a dozen different directions at one and
the same time. The trumpeter had been forced to stay
with the main body, which was not a very big main
body at that, at all times. He had been in everything
IN which the troop was engaged, but the idea of send
ing Hans out on a reconnaissance where GOODNESS and
the subtlety Of the devil were necessary for safety was
the last thing that ever entered the head Of the troop
commander.

Hans Mueller found himself for the first time in his life
in a position of acute responsibility. He was ordered by
Capt. Roberts to proceed with Sergeant Nelson and two
privates northwest until something was "felt' or until
the sergeant was satisfied that a wrong report had been
turned into the camp.
When the little body set out the fatigue of the indi-
vidual members Of the troop showed that it was not.

and a revolver. His trumpet was hanging up on a peg.
One of the bystanders said to the sergeant in command,
"Look out for Hans il you happen to get in a scrim-
mage. The first thing you know he'll forget himself and
he'll try to blow retreat on his carbine. You may lose
one man If Hans puts his mouth to the wrong end Of

coffroth Wins Race, London to Frisco

James w. Coffroth, fight promoter,
won his bet of $4,000 made with a
member of the National Sporting club
of London that he could reach San
Francisco in ten days from London.
Coffroth had a margin of two hours
and forty minutes.
Coffroth, according to agreement,
sent a telegram to Eugene CORR, with
whom he had the wager. When he ar
rived at the Oakland pier he was well
coined by a large delegation that
cheered him as he stepped from his car.
The time made by Coffroth is the
fastest eve made from London to San
Francisco over the Atlantic and across
the continent. He made the trip in
nine days, five hours and five minutes.
The journey from Omaha to San
Francisco was made on the famous San
Francisco Overland Limited of the
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific, and is
simply another victory for Safety,

Route.

Hans Mueller, who years ago was a
trumpeter in the Third cavalry.
Hans was more or less of a butt
for the jokes of the men of his troop.
He took all kinds Of jibes with a good
nature that was as perfect as it was
stolid. The trumpeter knew more
about music than he did about mus
kets. When for awhile he tried what
the other men called straight soldier.
ing he was continually getting tangled
up with his equipments and on sew
eral occasions at skirmish drill he
came within an ace of shooting him
self. His comrades told Hans that as
long as he confined his efforts to
killing himself they would offer no
strenuous objection, but that if he got
real careless and shot the head off
some n else he must look out for
trouble. AS a matter Of fact, he did
n day come pretty close to putting
a bullet through the heart of Sergeant
Peter Nelson, who forthwith thrashed
Hans in an approved style. Capt.
Roberts called Hans gross" and said
that he must stick to his trumpet.
The edict of his chief made Hans
feel badly. He blew the whole scale
of calls, from reveille through fatigue,
vecall and drill to taps, but his soul
wasn't in his music. Down deep in
Hans soul there came a thought that
somehow he was not like other men.
