5.The soldier should have saluted his general by raising his musket，or “presenting arms，”as it is called；but he made no movement.Noticing this neglect，the general called out，“Don‘t you know me，sentinel，or why do you not salute？”
6.The soldier answered respectfully，“I know you well，general，but I cannot present arms；for within the last few minutes two of the fingers of my right hand have been taken off by the enemy’s shot，and I am unable to hold my musket.”
7.“Why do you not go and have your hand bound up，then？”asked the general.
“Because，”answered the soldier，“a man who is onguard is forbidden to quit by another.”
8.The general at once dismounted from his horse.
“Now，friend，”he said，“give me your musket，and Iwill take your place：go and get your wounds attended to.”
