Queen Victorier’s ‘‘Black Ty rone." a ‘‘corp’ril wanst" and a "first- class flghtin’ man" always, is dead. He ‘■’aid his nearest relative was Dinah Shade], and his closest friends (though he held them in their places to the end) were "Little Orthrls” and “Learoyd" and "Mister Rudyard Kipling sor." This is the sad news brought back by Irvin Cobb from England the other day. The deatli of Mulvaney, deathless hero of "Soldiers Three.” was sol emnly announced to Mr. Cobb by Mr. Kipling himself at luncheon. "To the best of my knowledge—the best of my memory, would be better— Mulvaney is dead," said the wizard of India’s romance. “Last I saw of hifn he was superintending a gang of ooclies on a cut in India. He was a bit seedy and down-at-heel. If he has not already passed away ho soon will, and Dinah Shadd will bury him." Mr. Cobb said he found Kipling not at all the uppish Britisher that some have pictured him to be. He “winked back the same as us" to Mr. Cobb. The writer drew' a striking pen pic ture of Mr. Kipling at home. "We arrived a bit early,” he said, “and Mr. and Mrs. Kipling were out, but had left word they would be back directly. We strolled in the garden, awaiting them We had not gone far from the house when we heard a shout and saw a man jump over the hedge and run toward us He wel comed us as Mulvaney probably wel comed him—when he brought a pint of beer as the price of a story. He seemed to be in appearance a sort of combination of Theodore Roosevelt, William Travers Jerome and Bob Da vis. Ho has quick felinlty of move ment, the rapid thrust and parry in conversation and a very definite way of stating a conviction.” He talked to Cobb of war and Peter Finley Dunne. “One of the greatest writers in America," he said of Dunne. “A dull mathematical prob lem,” he said of war.
