At other times I saw him at the lloulac Muacum. poilng over old parchments and handling tba relics of namescs II , for whom ho entertained a high respect. From this you may know that Kitchener Is a well posted Egyptian scholar , for what he learns ho ilocs not forgot. It was while talking In the museum to some brother oOlcorn that nn Arab runner came with the news that Hlckn 1'dftha nnil hl command hnd been betrayed by the guides and assassinated. Poor beggars , ' muttered Kitchener , with an oath. 'It was a death trap. When will the Hngllsh government learn that wo are not fighting fanatics , but men who have a ppselcs of thirst for death. It will take an expedi tion perfected In drill and with a tropical commissariat to do any good with such an enemy. ' The linker KTpcilKion. "The next expedition was that of General Dakrr. It was made up of local troops , moat deficient In carriage and arms. Most of the men had not fired a shot In years. I remember the eve before they started , when General Maker and BOino of his staff were sitting on the veranda of Shepard's hotel In Cairo talking of the expedition. Major Kitch ener was there , alao , nnd while the others talked very gaugulnly he maintained abso lute silence. "In the company was nn English Hebrew , Mr. Ornstcln , held In high esteem there anil ulnce knighted by the queen. 'I will have to disagree with you thcie , general , ' ho said to IJaker. after ono of the letter's happy prophecies. 'For all the good that your ex pedition of native troops will do you might as well remain sitting on this veranda.

"On the day In question ho bad arranged to aiitrlbuto medals In commemoration of the last campaign under Sir General Gra ham , V. C. , In whoso expedition I was. Tills campaign was considered a victorious ono. though the heat was so terrlblo that MCI could not pursue Osman Dlgna to the hlllE , nnd did not bring him to a last Etnnd. "It was made up of Englishmen entirely , the two principal troops being the Tenth Hussars and the Forty-second Highlanders , Known as the 'Black Watch , ' a regiment which had captured moro standards than any other In existence. "Tho medal was a bronze one , with the ' * It.

"At that tlmo ho had much the same personal appearance as now. Ho was about five fcot ten Inches In height , well proportioned tioned , lltbo and of wonderful endurance. His heavy dark mustache concealed a firm mouth and his square chin and small pierc ing black eyes attracted ono and made you nlah to know moro of him. A * nn Oriental Suliolnr. "I was 1)Ut 17 years old then , but spoke Arabic well , and In a few moments Major Kitchener , who Introduced himself to ino , began to converse In that language. It Is most unusual for an Englishman to speak this tongue , for It Is difficult , and few can adapt themselves to It or have the per- elstuncc to purbue the study of It. "I had tha advantage of living In Con stantinople for a number ot years , whither I went with my father , a major In the Dragoon guards , who becalne a khalman madam bey , or full colonel , In Osman 1'asha's army. Ho and I landed at Alexan dria at the Bamo tlmo with Kitchener , who came from ludlnvwheu hostilities broke out in Egypt In 1S82. Kitchener was connected with the Intelligence ) department , and told mo In our flrst conversation that he had lioeu studying Amble for a year. He could then read and write It lluontly. Ho was very vroDclcnt in Hlndostance also , nnd soon ylcked up the Egyptian dialects. "On several occasions , when working In the neighborhood of Oczhlrcn , where the A Hard Cold.

He sure to fct H-U-XrI-F-H-K-E-Y-S " 'I do not expect to see any of them re turn alive , ' observed Kitchener , In a low tono. to Mr. Ornstein. History tolls how Maker's command was all cut up and the native troops became panic-stricken. Gen eral Baker , with his private secretary , alone escaped to iho government boat at Suaklm , the principal port In the Soudan llttorara. " After this failure came the expedition led by Sir Gerald Graham , in which Mr. Mor- . rcll took part as staff Interpjeter. It returned - ' I turned with Its mission only" half accom plished and all cyeB wcroxthen , In the spring of 1S84. turned toward Khartoum , where 1 that bravo martyr , General Gordon , was be sieged by the mahdt. Kitchener was a great admirer of Gordon , Mr. Morrell continued , and could not conceal his anger at Gladstone for his treatment of the hero which ho characterized as "rudo and unkind. " He , Kitchener , was looked up to as the most capable man to lead the expedition , to rescue Gordon , though there were many of ficers on the spot pupcrlor to him In rank. ! No one general had supreme command , be cause Wolseley , Graham and the other well known leaders had cleared out , so the In telligence department bad the organizing of the affair. Kitchener had by this tlmo made himself invaluable to the department. He was thoroughly acquainted with the customs of the Arabs and bad made personal friends with many powerful sheiks. "Tho local governors were mostly rich Turks , " said Mr. Morrell. "They were nom inated from Constantinople and their sub jects were hefd In absolute servitude. Slav- cry flourished , too , and knowing the English had forbidden this , the Turks were loathe to allow a whtto man In their homes , "With Kitchener It was different. He was welcomed always with a broad smile and It Is the same today. When Kitchener enters an Arab tent ho Is very careful to observe all thu proprieties and gpealc the figurative flowing language peculiar to the Arabians. "Ho flrst calams respectfully and then says , 'Salem allakum , ' 'With you bo God. ' The sheik answers with an Inclination of his head , 'AHayhum el salam , ' 'God be with vou. ' What the Arabs consider as a great Jolto on Kitchener and a saying that always calls for a laugh at the expense of the gen eral Is another of these amenities which , translated means 'May you be the sire ot , many sons. ' General Kitchener Is unmar- ' rled and will probably remain a bachelor all , his life , so that tbo Arabs consider It about the funniest thing possible to greet Kitch ener with this legend. Kitchener then had charge , practically , of the Gordon relief expedition and If ho had bad his own way Gordon might have been saved. We reached Khartoum Justt about seventy hours after the massacre and Kitch ener was BO sorry and enraged over this that ho almost ehcd coars. KUfltciirr'M Coiniiitxiiiirlnt. "We got away from Cairo In April , 1884. The other expeditious had made their way through the Soudan , but Kitchener planned tM go up the Nile In order to reach Khartoum moro readily. For this purpose we were provided with canoes specially built In Canada and paddled by Canadian frontiers men. The canoes varied from twenty feet to sixty foeo In length and had turnc < l-up ends after the style of the Indian boats. The largest ones were twelve feet ) wide nnd they could accommodate forty men besides the paddlers. "Along the banks of tbo Nile followed the commissariat , the heavy baggage and thu horses. The Tenth Hussars and Egyprlan cavalry Kitchener picked out especially for the expedition and camels wera used to transport the commissariat. "It waa In providing unusually good ra tions for the men that Kitchener made bla 11 rat bit and hli determination to have the men well fed In a hot , tropical climate Is re sponsible In great part for his wonderful succers. He was always as careful of hli e commissariat as though the camels were cur. rylng precious ntones , "Every morning ac 10 o'clock he IE out to w to the details of giving out the stores and any aergeant who raukw a complaint about t food always receives a hearing. Klrcbravi Inld In a mipply of things which we had never been treated to bofore. He got tluncd beef made In Chicago , cheese , condensed milk , curry and rlco nnd all along the route bought fresh vegetables. Every man received ono pound and a half of bread nud ouc pound of meat a < lay , coffco for dinner nnd tea nt nlglu1. If Borne big chap B\\oro ho hadn't enough Kitchener would give orders to 'food him more. ' " A'lultlnir ilir SlirlKi. "Kitchener was still a brevet major , hut tin soldiers looked upon'him then as a gen eral , and he attracted more attention than nny other officer. It was my duty to po ahead with the guides and Interview the Sheiks. The job was full of danger ami hardly a day passed that Major Kitchener did not appear In our company nnd ride along. He had tno horses then , both full- blooded Arabians. Ho called'the smaller one Said , and a heavy roadster he named Mohammed. Ho gave them theao names , as ho frankly explained to us , In order to moke hlmoelf popular with the Sheiks. Ills repu tation soon spread on account of this con sideration which he Rhowcd for the natives , and he was the guest of houor whenever we entered a Sheik's tentTho scats In thcso tents run around three sides. In the center flits the Sheik , and the ouo whom ho Intends to honor Is xcatcd just to the right. It was au eye-opener to most of the men to see Kitchener squatted on the divan chatting In Arabic. 'Ho Is also popular with these chaps he- cause ho Is Inordinately fond of smoking laconic , or the cigarette called Turkish de light. One hardly ever sees Kltchcncr'wlth- out a cigarette In his mouth. He Is also fond ot smoking the narghile or Turkish pipe , and never refuses tbo proffered bowl. It Is an old proverb that when salt Is eaten with nn Arab you are his friend for life , nnd Kitchener never refused to niako friends In this way , although ordinarily he eats but little. Ho says the less ho cata the better ho works , and I certainly never saw a sol dier who could endure BO much , llarely on an expedition does ho sleep moro than flvo or six hours out of twenty-four , and the rest of the time ho can bo continually In the saddle without showing fatigue. " TliP CllllK'1 Corp * Kcilil. One of the most strikingly Interesting In cidents of this march related by yio Inter preter to Illustrate Kitchener's unusual characteristics was tbo following : "When the expedition got as far as Assouan a quar rel broke out among1 th6 natives In tbo commissariat department. This was made up of two distinct camel corps , ono from Aden , consisting ot Somalls , the pine breed of Arabs , who live In Aden ; the other of Egyp tians from Cairo and 'Alexandria. At the first encampment bad blood broke out. The contention as to who were the most pro ficient In camel driving was heightened by the alleged preference which was shown to the Adenites by the English. Finally , thq Somalls challenged the Egyptians to a fair fight to see who were the most valiant. "Thq Egyptians refused the contest. I was ono of the Interpreters who reported the matter to Captain Wilson , In charge of the commissary. The next morning Major Kitchener himself camb Into the camp and ordered the temedar ( head groomsman ) of tbo Adenites and tbo sheik of the Egyptians to present themselves. Ho heard the two sides of the grievance and then , turning quickly , commanded the sheik nnd twenty of the foremost Egyptians to be bastinadoed for cowardice. There was the greatest ex citement In camp , but no one dared to revolt when those piercing eyes followed up the order. About twenty of those who refused o fight were tied on boards and rattan canes given to as many of the Adenites , and , to use the Interpreter's exact language , they Jolly well bastinadoed the Egyptians' feet off. ' Some ot them were so belabored that they could not walk for weeks , their feet being cut and swollen , but It stamped out all cowardice In the army. The Hhot Drill. "Kitchener Is a martinet In the observ ance of rules nnd la severe In punishing. Ho comes down rather heavily on drunken ness nnd for this reason has made himself to a certain extent unpopular with Kome of bis soldiers. Kogern , his body servant , Is a teetotaller , which Is an exceedingly rare thing to find In the ranks of Tommy Atkins. Kitchener's euro for drunkenness1 Is a by word among his men. Once taken It Is never forgotten. The culprit Is togged out n full marching equipment , which Is a mat ter of sixty pounds , and Is then compelled to carry In each hand a bag of shot weigh ing fifty pounds. A sergeant and a guard are put over the victim to see that ho does not stop walking or drop the shot. A man Is sometimes kept at this 'shot drill' for sis hours. "Another severity which called down un pleasant comments on Kitchener was his order , 'kill the wounded dervishes. ' Eng land heard of this with horror , but the British soldiers ivero loud in their praises. Kitchener had swn how these dervishes , after being wounded , would Ho quiet on the battlefield , concealing In their clothes a pistol or sclmetar-shaped knife. When the ambulance corps and surgeons came out on the field to give aid to the wounded enemy these fellows would wriggle out through the heaps ot slain and glvo a last thrust or put a bullet In a nurse or doctor. At other times they would hamstring a horse and In this way disabled nearly the whole 'Black Watch. ' Kitchener's order Is carried out'to this day. It was the soldiers' only protec tion. Kitchener on the Mnrob. 'There were 8,000 men In the flrst expedi tion , " continued Mr. Morrell , "and tliej moved along like clockwork. The Canadians were experts at shooting the rap ids and could have made splendid time , but our orders from London were to proceed at eight nnd ten miles a day. Kitchener was for pushing forward In spite ot ordnrs. 'God , ' ho would exclaim , 'poor Gordon will bo murdered just because of a lot of fog- heads at home. ' Every day or two a runner would reach camp after making his way through the Mahdl army In disguise and tell us that ) Gordon's provisions were almost gone and that ho could hold out but a few days. Kitchener had figured out almost to the hour when he would reach Khartoum at the rate he was traveling and decided that wo would get there too late. But ) ho was only a junior officer and his counsels to push forward did not prevail. "The men were oil with him , though they could never quite understand him. AD onetime time ho would tear along on bis Said , cursing tlmei ) ho would ride along : , hardly paying any attention to his horse and Intently read ing the Koran or some small volume ot the ancient Persian and Arabian poets. He knows the- Koran so well that ho can quote It to the Sbclks with more fluency than the Arabs themselves. Ho always addresses a soldier just like an officer and seems to pre fer the company of the privates , though he Is so reserved that ) be associates little with any one. "Finally we were gettlnc near Khartoum and hopes ot saving Gordon began to rise. They were suddenly duehed to earth , though , by the arrival of a Greek' ' named Lycurgus , who was carried Into cainp almost ) dead. He brought a message from Gordon and Mr , Frank Power , correspondent of the London Tlmet , to 'come quick , for God's cake. ' H was then too late , though , for the Greek bad Just got clear ot the Mahdl lines when the Dervishes broke Into Khartoum and began the massacre. We reached there two dayi later , only to find the city deluged In blood. Had Kitchener bad hla way wo could have saved Gordon. " An Aniprlcnn'n Opinion of Kitchener , Perhaps no one Is better able to speak ot _ General Kitchener than hU warmcut admirer | In America , Rev. Dr. MoArthur , pastor of the Baptist church , In New York City , Ho was In Egypt two I yean ago when Kitchener was there , and ' bus made a study ot the mail's Ute.

His inarch to Khar toum was less riku a military expedition than the progress of a railroad train. Kverythlng was done on schedule tlmo and ho arrived nt his destination within an hour of the date set : Ills march was elow , but resistless as a glacier. I know of nothing In modern times that has so aroused my admiration as this man's generalship. Had the American army 'had such a leader In Us Vato contest with Spain there would have been no gruesome results to deplore. "Kitchener knows how to take care of his raon. They must have the best food possi ble and his knowledge of tropical climates onabres him to get the right sort of rations. To his great strategic ability ho adds that of a civil ruler and general administration. When ho first landed In Egypt ho made a vow , as it were , to give his life to advanc ing the Interests of his country in Africa. Llko Wolseley and Wellington , ho Is an Irishman , but ho fights all the better for that. He Is today the man most able to lead an army In the tropics , and If the French nnd English como in conflict In the Soudan the result will not be a guess. I regard the capture of Omdurman 'the ' greatest event of this century. Mohammedanism Is over thrown forever in Egypt and In twenty-five' years from now that country wilt be threaded with railways nnd telegraphs , while Cape Town will be reached by rail. "To Eay that Kitchener is not popular Is false. Because ho Is severe in discipline ! and crabld with newspaper men may make him unpopular in a limited circle , but no can in the British army would receive such an ovation in England today as General Kitchener. Ho Is a wonderful man. Indif ferent , yet courteous to women ; exacting , yet kind to his soldiers ; slow and careful , but quick in an emergency ; of vast intel lect , but not pedantic ; bravo and heroic with genuine modesty. He is a typical warrior. " To Live Well nnd Happily Use "Garland" Stoves nnd Ranges. CONNUUIALITIKS.
