THE REAL UNKNOWN SOLDIER Child cf Street, Picked Up by Kind-hearte- d Brothers, Never Knew Who He Was. Trugh though the story is of a soldier whose Identity was lost after his life had gone out on the field of buttle and whose cross in danders simply says, Unknown Soldier," his story is not shot through with such pathetic glory as is the story of a lad who Knew who he was and who gave bhi life for a country in which lie hud never known a mother's love or a father's pride. Every mother who sloes not know Just where her son is buried, weeps over the grave of the unknown soldier, thinking that perhaps he is her son. Over the grave of the boy who lias always been unknown there are no mourners. tiny bundle of humanity was picked up in a Baltimore street some twenty years ago; it was a baby boy. When after a thorough search, no one was found who would claim him, he was taken to be reared by two brothers, who gave him the name of Edward John Evangelist Smith. When lie was old enough, they sent him to Mount Saint Marys school to be educated. In 1917, before the boys education was finished, a Marine recruiting officer visited Mount Saint Marys. His story of the country's need for men caused "Smith," as he had come to be known, to enlist. lie went overseas and took part In every engagement In which the Fifth regiment of marines participated.

Stub was no petted dog of records and pedilittle gree; he was a vicious-lookinyellow cur of mixed ancestry and bad habits that is, he had been all tills when Itatliburn found him six months before nnd championed ids cause In a quarrel with a crowd of roughs In Mike Swaneys saloon. Since then lie had developed Into a well behaved little beast with a pair of wistful eyes that looked unutterable love. Ituthburn had rescued the dog that day in the saloon more to thwart the designs of Iete Mulligan, the head of the gang and an old enemy, than for any compassion for the dog itself; but after he bad taken the little animal home he rather enjoyed the slavish devotion which In the dogs mind seemed evidently to be the only fit return for so great a service as had been done him. For some months, therefore, Ilathburn petted the dog, fed him, taught him to speak am! to and mnde of him an almost beg, constant companion. At the end of that time, the novelty having worn thin, he was ready as lie expressed to call the whole thing It to himself olT," and great was Ids disgust that the dog failed to see the affair In the same light. For some time, Ilathburn endured the plaintive whines, the questioning eyes, the frequent thrusts of a cold little nose against his hand ; then lie determined to end It all. Stub, come here!" lie called sharply, his right hand seeking his pocket. With a yelp of joy the dog leaped forward not for days had his master voluntarily noticed him. Rnthhurn raised his pistol and took careful aim. His eye was "toady and Two feet his band did not shake. away the dog had come to a sudden halt.

Rnthhurn gave it up after that, and Stub stayed on. As the days passed food became scarce In the cabin. It had been some time since Ilathburn had gone to town Then came the day for supplies. when a great Joy came into Stubs life ids master spoke to him. It was not tl.e old fond greeting, to he sure. And so it came about that Stub, in obedience to that sharp command, frequently scampered off with his master to spend Jong days in the foothills, or following the mountain streams. Sometimes It was a partridge, sometimes It was a squirrel or a rabbit whatever it was that fell a victim to Ilathburns gun, Stub learned very soon that it must be brought at once to the master and laid at bis feet. It was on one of the days when work, not hunting, fll!id the time, that Rathburn came home after a long days labor to find Stub waiting for him with a dead rabbit. After that It came to be a common thing for the dog to trot oft by himself in the morning; and the man fell more and more In the way of letting him go alone, as it left ids own time the more free for the pursuit of that golden sprite who was ever promising success Just ahead. As for Stub Stub was happy. He spent the long days In the foothills or on the mountain-side- , and soon became expert in his hunting. Gradually as the days passed there came still another change in the life nt the cahin. Rathburns step became slow, and his cheeks sunken. Sometimes he did not leave home all day, hut lay tossing from side to side on his hunk in the corner. At such times, If the result of Stubs hunt were eatable, the man would rouse himself enough to stir the fire and get supper; and always, after such a day at home, Rathburn was astir the next morning at dawn and oft In feverish haste for a loTYg days vvork to make up for the long day of idleness. JBut there came a time when he could not do this when each day found him prone on his bunk or moving feebly about the room. Then came a night when Stubs bark at the door was unanswered. Again and again Stub demanded admittance only to lie met with silence. The door, though unlatched, was swollen from recent rains, and It took five good minutes nnd all the strength of one small dog to push it open a narrow foot, and then there were only silence and a dying fire by way of greeting. Stub dropped ills burden on the floor and whined. He was particularly proud tonight; he had brought home a partridge the first he had ever caught without the aid of his masters gun. Tlie figure on the bed did not move. The dog picked up the bird he had dropped and walked toward his master. This time he luiJ his offering close to the bunk and barked. The man stirred and groaned. For long minutes the dog stood motionless, watching; tlieu he crept to tlie tire and almost into tlie hot asties in his efforts to warm the blood of his shivering little legs. In tlie morning the fire was quite out. Stub stretched Vis stiffened body and gazed about tlie room. Over on tlie lied (lie man did not stir nor speak. The dend bird lay untouched at his side. There vvus a whine, a hark, and a long minute of apparent indecision; then the dog pattered across the floor, wormed himself through the partly open"loor, and took the trail that led to the foothills. Three times Stub brought to tha tireless, silent oabin the result of his day's hunt and laid it at his masters side, and always there was only silence or a low groan to greet him.
