SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER I—At their home on the fron¬ tier b«iween tho Browna and Orsyi Mar¬ ia Oalland and her mother, entertalninir Colonel WeeterllnK of the Oraya, »«• Cap- Cain Lanatron, ataff IntelllKence oflicer o{ tha Browcj, Injured br a fall In hla aero¬ plane.
CHAPTER n—Tea yearn later. Wee- cerllns, nominal vice but real chief of ataff, relnforcea South Ia Ttr, medltatea on war, and apeculatea on the compara¬ tive agaa ot himself and Marta, who ia vlaltlns In the Orajr capital.
CHAPTER ITI—Westerllnr calls on Marta. tihe tella him of her teachtne children the follies of war end martl.-il patriotism, be^ him to prevent war whlla he Is chief of staff, and predict* that If he makes war against Uie Browns he will not win,
CHAPTER rv—On the march with the 53d of the Browna Private Stransky, anar¬ chist, decries war and played-out patriot¬ ism and Is placed under arreat. Colonel I..anatron overhearing, begs him off sayins thp anarchist will flght well when en- rajred and la "all man."
C lAPTER V—Lanstron calls on Martn at her home. He talks with Feller, the gardener. Marta tella Lianstrom that sho believes Feller to be a spy. Lanatron confeasAs It la true.
fCHAPTER VI—Lanatron shows Marta a telephone which Feller haa tonuealed In a Secret passage under the tower for use to beneflt the Browna In war emergen¬ cies, pointing out ItH value as being in the center of the flghting zone In case of w;ir.

numbered plgeonboles, each with a tpcike a iri^o i.a-ii;iy. combination lock. At the base of one j "And we'll fix bayonets when we section was a smoll safe. It was not | gtart and they will ran at the sight
of our Bteel.'" said Eugene Aronson. He and Hugo aloiie, not excepting Pil¬ zer, tha butcher's son, spoke In their natural voices. The others were try¬ ing to make their voices sound natu¬ ral, vhile ^Ptlxer's Toice had devel¬ oped a certain ferocity, and the liver patch on bis cheek twitched more fre¬ quently. "Wh^, Company B Is in front! We hafe the posi of honor, and maybe our company will win the most glory of any in'the regiment!" Eu- eene added. "Oh. we'll beat them!
"No, sir, nothing; at least, not until war begins."
"Very well. We shall have the or¬ ders Issued ai the proper moment," concluded Partow. "And Westerling is going to flnd," ho proceeded after a thoughtful pause, "that a man Is readier to die lighting to hold hia own thrpfihold than flghting to take anoth¬ er man's. War ia not yet solely an af¬ fair of machinery and numbers. The
human element Is still uppermost. Give mo your hand—no, not that one, not the one you shako hands witb—the one woundc'd in action!"
Partow inclosed the stifffMied An¬ gers in his own with something ot the earess wliich an old bear that is la very good humor might givp to a promisiug cub.
"I have planned, planned, planned for llii.s time. The world shall soon Itiiow, as the ck-ments ot it go into tbe (lucible tcst,,^wliec!i(.T it is well done or not. I want to live to see the day v.lu'n tho laKt char>;(' niailo ugatnst our trenches is beaten buck. Thou they may throw this old body onto tho rub¬ bish lieap as soon aa they please—It is u fat, unwleldly behemoth of au old body!"
"Ko, no, It isn't!" Lanstron objected hotly. Ho was seeing only what most people saw after talking with Partow for a fow minutes, his fine, intelligent eyes and beautiful forehead.
"All that I wanted of tho body waa to feed my brain," Partow continued, heedless of the interruption. "I have watched my mind as a navigator watches a, barometer. I have been ready at the flrst sign that it was los¬ ing its grip to give up. Yet I have felt that my body would go on feeding my brain and that to the last moment of consciousness, when suddenly tbe body collapses, I should have self- possession aud energy of mind. Under the coml.^g strain the shock may come, as a cord «naps. At that Instant my successor wi'l take up my work where I leave it oft.
"The old fogy wbo has almea to join experience to youth cboosea youth. You took your medicine with¬ out grumbling In the disagreeable but vitally important position of chief of intelligence. Now you—there, don't tremble with stage fright!" For Lan¬ stron's hand was quivering in Partow's grasp, while bis face waa tbat of a man stunned.
"You are to be at the right band of this old body," continued Partow. "You are to go with me to the front; to sleep In the room next to mine; to be always at my side, and, finally, you are to promise that if ever-tbe old body falls In its duty to the mind, if ever you see that I am not standing up to the strain, you are to say so to me and I give you my word tbat I shall let you take charge."
Lanstron was too stunned to spealL for a moment. The arrangement seemed a hideous Joke; a refinement of cruelty Inconceivable. It was ex¬ pecting blm to tell Atlas that be was old and to take tbe weight of tbe world oft the giant's shoulders.
"Have you lost your patriotism ?" demanded Partow. "Are you afraid? afraid to tell me the truth? Afraid of duty? Afraid in your youth of tbe burden tbat I boar in age?"
Ttae bullet Is not maae tbat wiU jtvt me!"
"Your service will be over in timo for you to help with the spring plant¬ ing, Eugene," wh'~pered Hugo, who was apparently preoccupied with many detached thoughts.
"And you to be at home sucklns lollipops!" Piizer growlsd to Hujo»
"That would be better than murder¬ ing my fellowman to get his property." Hugo answered, so Ecberly that it did not seem to his comrades that he waa Joking this time. Pilzer'a snarling cx- clamaticn of "White feather!" came In the midst of a chorus cf Indl^naiioa.
Captain Fracasse, who had hoard only the disturbance wiJhout knowing the cause, interfered in a low, sharp tone:
"Silence! Aa I bave told you be¬ fore, silence! We don't want them to know that we are here. Go to sleep! You may get no rest tomorrow nightl"
But little Peterkin, tho question In bis mind breaking free of hia lips, un¬ wittingly asked:
¦¦Shall—shall we fight in tho morn¬ ing?"
"I don't know. Nobody knows!" an swered Fracasse. "We wait on orders Continued on Page 7

"It Is All There, My Life, My Dreams, My Ambitions."
the flrst time that Lanstron had been in this vault, lie had tho combination of two of tlie scotious of pigeonholes, aerobatics and intelligence. Tho rest belonged to other divisions.
"Tho safe is my own, as you know. No one ciiens it; no one kno\<'3 what Is In It but me." paid Partow, taking frora it an envelope and a inanu:;crii)t, which he laid on the table. "There jt)U have all Ihat is in niv br.-iin—tho whole plan. The envelope contains the combinations of all rhe pigeon- lioles, If you v.Ish to look up any do- talla."
" Lanstron half whls- all he could think of
"Thank you! pered. It waa to Kay.
"And you will flnd that there li" more than you thought, perhaps; th© reason why 1 Jlave fought hard to re¬ main chief of staff; why—" Partow continued In a voice that had the se¬ pulchral uncanniness of a threat long nursed now breaking free of the bond¬ age of years witbin the sound-proof walls. "But—" he broke off suddenly as if he distrusted even the security of the vaiflt. "Yea, It is all there—my j life's work, my dream, my ambition, i my plafl!" !
Lanstron heard tbe lock slide In the | door as Partow went out and he was | alone wltU the army's secrets. As be i read Partow's flrm handwriting, many ! parts fell together, many moves on | a chessboard grew clear. His breath | came faster, be bent closer over tbe I table, he turned back pages to go | over them again. Every sentence dropped home in his mind like a bolt in a socket. Unconscious of the pas¬ sage of time, he did not beed tbe door | open or realize Partow's presence un- ! til he felt Partow's band on his sboul- | der. j
"I see tbat you didn't look into any of the pigeonholes," the chief of staff j observed. '
Lanstron pressed his flnger-tips on | the manuscript signiflcantly. j
"No. It is all there!" |
"The thing being to carry it opt!" | said Partow. "God with us!" he'add- j ed devoutly.
CHAPTER VIII.
Close to the White Pests.
On Saturday evening the li8th regi¬ ment of tbe Orays waa mustered in field accoutrements and a full supply of cartridges. In the darkness the flrst battalion marched out at right angles to the main road that ran through La Tir and South La Tir. At length Company B, deployed in line of skirmlsbers, lay down to sleep on j its arms.
"We wait here for tho word," Fra¬ casse, the captain, whispered to bis senior lieutenant. "If it comes, our
objective Is the bouse and the old His fingers closed in on Lanstron's | castle on the hill above tbe town."
with sUcb force tbat tbe grip waa painful.
"Promise!" he commanded.
"I promise!" Lanatron said with a throb.
"That's It! Thafe the way! TbaCa the kind of soldier I Uke." Partow da> Glared with cbance of tone, and b* rosa from his cbalr with a sprlnc that WM a delight to Lanstron tn Its prooC of the physical rtgor ao •toatly dented. "We have a lot to lajr to each otkor todajr." ha added; "tai ftrat I am ¦»• Inc to show yoa tha yAmim tec •>( Ufatn."

The tower of tbe church showed dimly when a pale moon broke through a cloud. By Its Ught Hugo MalUn saw on hla left tbe pinched and characterless features ot Peter¬ kin. A few yards ahead was a white stone post.
"That's their side over there!" whls-- pered the banker's son. who was next to Peterkin.
"When we cross war beflne," eaid the manufactorer's son.
"I wonder if they are expectlns us!" said the Judge's son a trifle buaklly. in aa attempt at humor, though he waa not glren to hnmor.
"JnsC waitl&g to throw booqaats!" whispered the laborer's son. He, toOb waa aot jlvea^ to humor and ha, too.
