During the MexU-au war a general
<>f brigade was one day reconnoltering
with an a id -de-camp wheu he ran full
\:;>ou a ne<r of Mexicans, who spat tire
like so li.an.v rattlesnakes. Tlie al<!
threw hl.:se!f t>efore his general and
<over?vl his retreat, receiving a wound
in the urm anil one lu the !e4. The
general escaped unhurt. Who;, the af
fair wan over uud the two dismounted
before the general's tent he said to bis
aid:
"What's that on your belt clasp?"
Tht uld looked down aud pulled
away a bullet that had been flattened
against tlie brass clasp. Had It not
been stopped ou Its way it would have
penetrated the youngster's stomach,
and that at that time meant death.
The geueral pressed the young man's
band silently. Words would not ex
press vha; he owed his subordinate.
Wber. I.leutenant Passmore went
home after the war he took the flat
tened bullet with him. He used to
call it his medal. A man who Is espe
cially adapted for fighting Is often use
less for anything else, and Passmore
failed completely in a business life
which hs took up on leaving tbe army.
Perhaps the disposition he had sbown
to bear another's burdens was not in
accord with commercialism, where the
object often Is to outwit those with
whom >ne does business.
The poor fellow at last got ragged.
His appearance was all the more
aiouchy from the wound he had re
ceived In the leg in saving his com- '
mauder's life, since It caused him to
limp. Re pawned his belongings oue
after another: Ills watch and chalv
he hfilvi tii lyng as oossUtle^ because
they had bw:f given film by hla moth
er. Wheu hi.! watch went, in order to
keep up appearances with his chain
he took his flattened bullet and wore

Meanwhile the general whose life
, Pass roc re h;^J saved had prospered,

Ing from his veulth and bis service lit
war had piacvd htm lit a high position
in politics. He became governor of his
state. Since he lived lu the eastern
states aud his former a ki -de-camp in
the west the two were apart. Pass
more after hearing that Wlngate had
attaint ! so high a position spent six
months trying to make up his mind to
apply to him for some subordinate of
fice whereby he could make a living.
Finally he overcame bis retiring dis
position. succeeded lu borrowing
enough money to pay his fare and
went to see the governor.
He arrived on the day of a great
parade of the state militia. The gov
ernor was to review the procession.
Passmore took a position near the
stand and saw his former general en- 1
ter with his suit. He tried to reach
a point on the street In front of and
below the governor's seat, but a police
man stopped him.
"Let me go on," said Passmore. "I
know the governor personally."
The policeman looked suspicious, but
passed him Passnore stood directly
beneath his old -chief, with his hat
pulled down over his eyes. The pa
rade was late in moving and had not
arrived. The governor took out his
watch impatiently.
"This Isn't the way you moved on
the Mexicans, governor," said Pass
more, looking up from under his hat.
The governor glanced down to see
who spoke.
"You moved on time, governor,"
Passmore c< nued.
"Ah. yes. my good man. They'll be
here directly. They're only ten min
utes late."
"Half an hour."
"My watch says 12:10," tvjolned the
governor. "The head of the column
was to have pa*ed here at 12."
"Your watch Is wrong, governor?
twenty minutes wrong."
"What time have you, my friend?"
asked the governor.
Passmore pulled out the flattened
bullet.
A change came over the governor's
face. His eyes wefe glued to t>;e crude
medal, it brought a far dl iant.mem

then there was a hurrah doxm the

governor and staff assumed that posi
tion of attention and dignity expected
of a reviewing party. Then the proces
sion passed, many wondering who was
the shabby man beside the governor.
The world Is full of ingratitude, but
