to rise from the pale anxieties Of
his profession by serving as sol.
der; Mr.. Roosevelt had tried to
live down the efrete influences of
a Harvard course, and fashionable
New York social connections, by
becoming ranchman on the plains
of North Dakota. Each was eager
for distinction, mad for manly ad-
venture. There was but two years
difference between their ages.
Together the man who was to be
president of the United States and
he who was to be chief general Of
the American army walked and
talked, day after day, punched each

wrestled, ran, rode side by side and
lived the strenuous life to the ut

Of everything that might open the

AS my horse whinnied and turned

toward me.

Knocked.
He had himself freed my horse;
now took the rein and refastened it to
the tree.
''Well, inexplicable Donovan!"
I laughed, pleased to find that my
delay annoyed him. I was confident
that he was not abroad at this hour
for nothing, and it again occurred to
me that we were on different sides OF
the matter. My WEAKNESS fell from
me like cloak, as the events Of the
past hour flashed fresh in my mind.

both the falling man and the physician
had been instantly killed, were as

In 1880, when Leonard was a stalwart oulck.
w1tted youth OF 20 years, the Wood family de.
bated whether he should enter Harvard univer-
sity. That was the very time when Theodore
Roosevelt was graduated from Harvard. The iron.
nusced young Yankee, who was already
notable s-country runner, wanted to enter the
army or navy. The spirit of adventure was strong
IN him. But the wishes of his sober old father pre-
vailed, and having obtained a scholarship, he
entered the Harvard Medical school.
In the third year after he entered the study of
medicine he won in a competitive examination
for service in the city hospital of Boston, After
Is months In this position he had row with the
hospital superintendent and resigned Then he
served In the North End dispensary of Boston
In following the story of this singular man it
is interesting to know that although he followed
his fathers wishes by entering medical school,
he there became the chum of of an army
captain, and, while studying medicine he actually
began to prepare himself for military career by
reading military science, and in every way pos
sibe sought to fit himself for the army entrance
examinations.
After leaving the Boston dspensary, the young
doctor went into general practice in that city,
In 1885 the young Boston doctor who was des-
tined to become the senior general of the United
States army went to New York and passed the
army examinations for military surgeons, stand
Ing second among the competitors.
There was no vacancy for him, but presently
he got letter from the surgeon general at Wash
1ngton, offering him contract as a civilian sur
geon with the army, at hundred dollars month,
with free quarters and rations and forage for his
horse.
AS the letter suggested service in the west, the
doctor joyfully accepted the contract and under
orders, went to join Gen. Crook at Fort Huachuca
Arizona, about 20 miles from the Mexican from
tier.
This was change from Boston: Picked troops
under Miles and Lawton were to pursue Geroni-
mo and his fierce Apaches till they were captured
destroyed
It was an extraordinary campaign, full of perils
and hardships. The Apaches had robbed and MUIR
dered the people Of Arizona and Sonora, Mexico,
SO long that each little village was surrounded by
walls. Being mountaineers of great muscular
power, the Indians who could live on cactus and
various roots, were accustomed to make journeys
foot through the toughest regions with speed
that defied pursuit.
