"Only a Pawn !". 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, July 14th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Sydney P. Hall, from a sketch by Lionel James, called "Only a Pawn !".

A Correspondernt writes :- "One of the Colonial troopers, who was a chess player, and was carrying a little set of ivory chessman in his haversack, was wounded during the Mounted Infantry reconnaisance to Brandtfort, and was left on the field.  When he was found the next day he was dead.  He had placed his water bottle on a stone beside him, and one pawn upon it.  Only a pawn in the big game of chess was gone."

Condition is Very Good.
