But if, as is often the case, he has had a secularupbringing, he spits on the dead mule, kicks the nigger, slinks back tocamp by a roundabout route, and swears to everyone that he has been fortymiles in another direction in a railway truck. Four or five days later, just at that hour in the morning when a man clingsmost fondly to his blankets, another rumour breaks the early morning'slimpid silence, a rumour of a battle of great import raging eighteen milesaway, just within easy riding distance ...for a smart correspondent. But theman of ink and hardships chuckles this time. He has been fooled so often bythe imp of camp rumours; so murmurs just loud enough to be heard in heaven, "That infernal camp liar again, " and rustles his blankets round his earsand drops cosily back into dreamland; but when, later on, he learns that animportant battle has been fought, and he has missed it all because he didnot want to be fooled by the camp liar, then what he mutters is mutteredloud enough to be heard in a different place, and the folk there don't needear trumpets to catch what he says either.
