SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER I—At their home on tlie fron¬ tier between the Browne and Oraya Mar¬ ta O&Iland and her mother, entertaining Colonel Westerling of the Orays, eee Cap¬ tain Lanstron, itaff Intelligence oflicer of. the Browna, Injured by a fall In hla aero¬ plane.
CHAPTER n-Ten yearn later. "Wea¬ terllnc nominal vice but real chief of •taff. reinforces South La Tir, meditates on war, and speculates on the compara¬ tive ages of himself and Marta, who la ^vlsltlna In the Orajr capital.
CHAPPER Ill-Westerllnsr calls on Marta. cthe tells him of her teachlns- children tbe follies of war and martial patriotism, begs him to prevent war while he Is chief of staCt, and predlrjs that If he makes war against the Browns he wUl not win.
CHAPTER IV—On the march with the 6Sd of the Browns Private Stransky, anar¬ chist, decries war and played-out patriot¬ ism and is placed under arrest. Colonel Lanstron overhearing, begs hlra olT saylnji ¦ the anarchist will fight well when en- rajced and la "all man."
CHAPTER V—Lanstron calls on Marta at her home. He talks with Feller, the gardener. Marta tells Lanstrom that aho believes Feller to t>« a spy. Lanstron con/aaana It la trua.
CHAPTER VI—Lanatron shows Marta a telephone which Feller has concealed In a aecret passage under the tower for use to benefit the Browns In war emergen¬ cies, pointing out Ita value as being In the center of the flghting 'sone In case of war. Marta c<yisent8 for It and Feller to remain for tne present. Lanstron de- <>'ai«3 bit \07P for Marta.
CHAPTER VII—Westerling and the fjray premier plan to use a trivial Inter¬ national affair to foment warlike patrlot¬ lam In army and people and strike before declaring war. Partow, Brown chief of staff, and Lanatron, made vice, discuss the trouble, and the Brown defenses. Par¬ tow reveals his plans to Lanstron.
CHAPTER VIII — At the frontier tho two armies Ile crouched for attack and defense. In the town with tho non-com- batanta fleeing from fhe danger sone, Marta hears her child pupils recite the peace outh.
CHAPTEll IX—The Gray army crosses the borilii- line and attacks. The Browns check Ihem. Artillery. Infantry, aern- planea and dlriglbled engage. Stransky. rising to make the anarchist speech of hia life, draws the Gray artillery nre. Nicked by a shrapnel splinter he goes Berserk and nghts-"all a man."
CHAPTER X — Marta has her first Bllnipso of war In Its modern, roM, scien¬ tific, inurdeious brutality. Sho allows the secret telephone to remain.
"Men of the first section," Dellarme called, "you will slip out of line with the greatest care not to let tho enemy know that you are going!"
"Going—going! Careful! Men of the first section going!" the ])ar(iied throats repeated in a thrilling whisper.
"Those who remain keep increasing their flre!" called Dellarme again. "Cover tho whole hreadtli of ttiQ trench!"
Every fourlii man wornieil himself backward on liia stomach until he waa below tlie sky-lino, when his stiffened limbs brought him to hie feet and he started on a dead run down into tha valley and toward a cut behind an¬ other knoll across the road from tha Galland house. Tiie othera followed at intervals.
Once across a road and up three sc¬ ries of steps of the other garden ter¬ race, behind a breastwork of sand¬ bags, tho company rested. -Most of them had fallen asleep on the ground after Qnishing their ration.s, log« ot men in animal exhaustion. Some of those awake were too weary to give to each other more than a nod and smile. They had witnessed too much horror that day to talk about it. Rut Stransky foraged.
Marta, coming out on the veranda, saw him.
"You are tired! You are hungry!" she said with urgent gentleness. "Come in!"
lie followed her Into the house and dropped on a leather chair before a shining table in a room pantilcd with oak, wondering at her and at himself. No woman of Marta's world had ever spoken in that way to him. V.ut it was good to eit down. Then a maid with a sad, winsome face and tender eyes brought him wine and bread and cold meat and jam. He gulped down a glassful of wine; he ate with great mouthfuls In the ravenous call of healthy, exhausted tissues, while the maid stood by to cut more bread.
"When It comes to eating after fight¬ ing—"
He looked up when the first pangs of hunger were assuaged. Enormous, broad-ehouldered, physical, his cheeks fluslied with wine, his eyes opened wide and brilliant with the fire that was in his nature—eyes that spoke the red business of anarchy and war.
"Say, but you're pretty!"
Springing up, he caught her hand and made to. kiss her in the brashness of impulse. Minna struck him a sting¬ ing blow In the face. He received it as a mastiff would receive a bite from a pup, and she stood ber ground, her eyes challenging his fearlessly.
"So you are like that!" he said thoughtfully. "It waa a good one, and you meant It, too."
"Decidedly!" she answered. "There's more where that came from!"
Then little Clarissa Eileen entered and pressed against Jier mother's skirts, subjecting Stransky to child¬ hood's scrutiny. He waved a finger at her and grinned and drew bis eyes together in a squint at ttae bridge of his nose, making a (nnny face that brought a laugh.
[ '^oor dilld r StrmakT asked Mioaa. "Yes."
"Where's her father? Away flght- Ingr "r don't know where tae Is!" "Oh!" he mused. "Was that blow for taim at the same time as for me?" he pursued thoughtfully. "Yes, for all of your kind." "M-m-m!" caime from between hte lips as he rose. "Would you mind hold¬ ing out your hand?" he aaked with a gentleness singularly out of keeping with his rough aspect. "Why?" she demanded. "I've never studied any books of eti¬ quette of polite society, and I am a poor sort at making speech/es, anyhow. But I want to kiss a godd woman's hand by way of apology. I never kifised one in my life, but I'm getting a lot of new experiences today. Will you?"
She held out her hand at arm's length and flushed slightly as he pressed his lips to it.
"You certainly do cut thick slices," he said smiling. "And you certainly are pretty," he added, passing out of the door as jauntily as if he were ready for another fight and just in time to see the colonel of the regiment come around the houee. He stood at the salute, half iiroudly, half defiantly, but In nowise humbly.
"Well, Major Dellarme!" was the colonel's greotlng of the company com¬ mander, i "Major?" exclaimed Dellarme. "Yes. Partow has the power. Four j of tho aviators have iron crosses al- | ready and promotion, too; and you I are a major. Company G got into a i mess and tlie whole regiment would have been in one unless you held on. ! So I let you stay. It all came out right, as Lanstron planned—right so far. But your losses have been heavy and here you are in the thick of it again. Your company may change places with Company E, which has had a relatively easy time."
"No, sir; we would prefer to stay," Dellarme answered quietly.
"Good! Then you will take this battalion and I'll transfer Oroller to Alvery's. Bad loss, Alvery—shrapnel. The artillery has been doing ugly work, but that is all in favor of the defensive. If we can hold them on this line till tomorrow noon, it's all we want for the present," he con¬ cluded.
"We'll hold them! Don't worry!" put In Straneky.
If a private had spoken to a colonel in this fashion at drill, without being spoken to, it would have been a glar¬ ing breach of military etiquette. Now that they were at war it was differ¬ ent. Real comradeship between offlcer and man begins with war.
"We shall, eli?" chuckled the colonel. "You look big enough to hold any¬ thing, young man! Here! Isn't this the fellow that Lanstron got off?" "Yes, sir," answered Dellarme. "Well, wa.'i Lanstron right?" "Yes, sir."
"Wonderful man, Lanstron!" "He knows just a little too much!" Stransky growled.
As Fracasse's men rose from their trench for the final charge and found thut tiio enemy had Kon*?, an oflicer
"I Want to Kiss a Good Woman's Hand by Way of Apology."
of the brigade staff brouglit instruc¬ tions to the colonel.
"The batteries are going to eniplace hero for your support in the niorninf?. You will move as soon as your meu have eaten and occupy positions ii-31 to B-35. That give.s you a narrow front for ono hattalitm, with two bat¬ talions in reserve to drive home your attack. The chief of etaft himself de¬ sires that we take the Galland house befire noon. The enemy must not have the encouragement of any suc¬ cesses."
"So easy t'or Westerling to say," thought tho colonel;* while aloud he acknowledged the message with proper spirit.
Before the order to move was given tho news of it passed from Up to lip among the men in tired whispere. Since dawn they had lived through the impressions of a whole war, and they had won. With victory they had not thought of the future, only of their hunger. After the nightmare of the charge, after hearing death whisper- 1ns 'or hours intimately in their ears,
they were too 'wearr snd too far thrown out of the adjustments of any natural habits of thought and feeling to realize the horror of eating tbeir dinners in the company of the dead. Now they were to go through another hell, but many of them in their ex¬ haustion were chiefly concerned as to whether or not ttaey should get any sleep that night.
The satire of war makes tbe valet's son a hero; the chance of war kills the manufacturer's son and lets the day-laborer's son live; the sport of war gives the latent forces of a Stran¬ sky full play; the glory of war brings Dellarme quick promotion; the glam¬ our and the spectacular folly of war turn the bolts of the lightnings which man has mastered against man. Per¬ haps the savage who learned that he could etart a flame by rubbing two dry sticks together may have set fire to the virgin forest and wild grass in order to destroy an enemy—and natu- ! rally with disastrous results to him- j self if he mistook the direction of the | wind.
Marta Galland's thoughts at dusk I when she returned up the steps to the , house were of the wreckage the hot whirlwind of war left. Sho was see¬ ing fathers staring and mothers weep- j ing. Her experience with the wound¬ ed drawing deep on the wells of sym¬ pathy, heightened her loatliinR of war and of ail who planned and ordered it and led its legions. She had been en¬ gaged since dark In completing the work of moving valuable articles from the front to the rear rooms of the house, wliich had been begun early in the day by Minna and the coachman.
She was at the door of her mother's room, wliich was like an antique ehop. Old plates lay on top of old tables, with vases on the floor under the tables. Surrounded by her treasures, Mrs. Gallahd awaited the attack; not as a soldier awaits it, but as that ven¬ erable Roman senator of the story faced the barbarous Gauls—neither disputing the power of their speare nor yielding the self-respect of his own mind and soul. She had lain down in her wrapper for the night, and the light from a single candle-»-she still favored candles—revealed her features calm and philosophical among the pil¬ lows. Yet the magic of war, reaching deep into hidden emotions, had her also under its spell. Her voice was at once more tender and vital.
"Marta, I see that you are all on wires!"
"Ves; jangling wires, every one, jangling every second out ot tune," Marta acquiesced.
".Marta, my father"—her father had been a premier of tho Browns—"al¬ ways said that you may enjoy the lux¬ ury of fussing over little things, for they don't count much one way or an¬ other; but about big things you mu.st never fuss or )du will not be worthy of big tilings. .Marta, you cannot stop a railroad train with your hands. Thi.-! is not llie first war on earth and wo are not the lirst women wlio ever thought that war was wrong. Eacli of us has ills work to do and you will have yours. It does nt) good to tire yoiir.seir out and liy to pieces, even if you do know tio inucli and havo^-ht.en around the world."
She smiled as a woman of sixty,
who has a secret lioart-hnaf^ that Bh'i
had never givon iicr liiisiKitiiK a son.
I may smile at a dauglitor v.iio is^ botii
son and daUKhtor to licr, and\ Ikm-
plump hand, all curves liko her pltjmi)
face and lior piuiup hotly, spread oilon
in a|>i)eal.
.Marta, v.ho, in the breeding of lu-r generation, felt sentiment as more or less of a lure from 1o;,mc, droppcil be- sitle the bed in a sudden buret of son- timent and gathered the plump hand in htjis uud kissed it.
•^Tothfr, ,ynii nre wonderful!" siie said. ¦'.\iotlKT, you aro great!"
After a tinit?, lier ear becoming ac¬ customed to (he firing as a city dwel¬ ler's to tho distant roar of city traf¬ fic, Mrs. Galland slo|it. Hut Marta could nt)t follow lior ailvice. If, tran- sitntly at loaKt, she had found some¬ thing of tiie peace of the (onleesionai, the vigor of youth was in her artorie:;; and youth cannot help remaining awake under some conditi/ins. Sim tiptoed atMiiss the hall into her own roi.in and Keali-d herself by the win¬ dow. Tlie symbol "of what the ear had heard the eyo s;iw—war, workiiiK in tones of the li'.iidscape by day with sniokeloss powder; war, revealed by its t(;iiKUC3 of flame at night. Fgl/ bursts of firo from the higiier hill-.s L'proad to tho he.Tvens like an aurora borcalis aud brokt! tlieir messengers in slioets of tlanic over the lower hills —!he battories of the Browns sprin¬ kling death about tho heads of the I gunners'of the Grays cmpiacing their ! battrrii'S. Staccato fla.sliee from a single point counted so many bullets from an automatic, which directed by the beams of the search-lights, found thoir targets lu sections of advancing infantry. Hill crests, set oft with flashed! running back and forth, do- marked Infantry lines of the Browns assisting the automatics.
There were lulh between tho crashes of the small arms and the heavy,, throaty speech of the guns; lulls that seemed to say that both sides had paueed for a breathing spell; lulls that allowed the battle in the distance to be heard in its perva¬ sive undertone. In one of them, when even the undertone had ceased for a fow seconds, Marta caught faintly the groans of a wounded man—one of the crew of a Gray dirigible burned by an explosion and brought in his agony softly to earth by a blllowii^g piece of envelope which acted as a parachute.
Fighting proceeded In La TIr In stages of ferocity and blank silence. Ttae upper part of ttae town, wtaich tbe Browns still held, was in darlb-
