Kitchener's ability in disguising himself has given rise to many stories, true and otherwise, of this famous soldier. The following incident was told by one who served with the Essex Regiment in a campaign against tho Dervisnes: — "I was acting corporal of the guard over a large number of ' gentlemen of tho desert whom we had taken prisoners. In the course of my rounds a captive within the tent drew my attention, and I was surprised to hear in good English the request:— "'Corporal, I wish to get out of this.' " I of course reported the occurrence to tho sergeant of the guard, only to be met with the curt reply:— "'Let the fool stay where he is.' "I continued my rounds, and was again met with tho request. _ Again I reported the matter, and this time tho reply was as curt, but a bit stronger, so I went on my rounds again. " As I passed the spot this time the voice from within said:— "'Say, corporal, you are of the Essex Regiment?' I answered that I was, and the prisoner said: — " ' Well, tell Mr B that I want to speak to him.' " 'What namo?' I queried. " Kitchener,' came the reply, and I at onco reported accordingly to the sergeant. 'TIo immediately made for the prisoners' quarters, and I shall never rorget that meeting. "The dishevelled 'Dervish' was in realitv the Lord Kitchener that was to bo, who had been out spying among the enemy, and had apparently been taken prisoner by his own troops." My native Scotland was to me a laud flowing with milk arid honey all the time I lived there-- I left it when I was two months old!•■Sir George Keid.
