CHAPTER VI

came gradually back to position from
which he could regard himself. For
moments he had been scrutinizing his
person in a dazed way, as if he had
never before seen himself. Then he
picked up his cap from the ground. He
wriggled in his jacket to make more
comfortable fit, and, kneeling, relaced
his shoe. He thoughtfully mopped his
reeking features.
So it was all over at last The su-
preme trial had been passed. The red,
formidable difficulties of war had been
vanquishcd.
He went into an ecstasy of self-satis-
faction. He had the most delightful
sensations of his life. Standing as if
apart from himself, he viewed the last
scene. He perceived that the man who
had fought thus was magnificent.
BUT. of a sudden cries of amazement
broke out along the ranks OF the new
regiment. Here they come again!
Here they come again.
The youth turned quick eyes upon
the field. He discerned forms swelling
in masses out of a distant wood. He
again saw the tilted flag speeding for
ward.
The shells which had ceased to trouble
the regiment for a time, came swirling
again and exploded in the grass or
among the leaves of the trees They
looked to be strange war flowers burst
ing into fierce bloom.
The men groaned. The luster faded
from their eyes Their snudged coun-
tenances now expressed a profound de-
lection.
They fretted and complained each to
each. ''Oh, say, this is too much of q
good thing. Why can't somebody send
MS supports?"

creaked as it painfully floundered into
position to repulse.
The youth stared. Surely, he thought,
this impossible thing was not about to
happen. 1t was all a mistake.
But the firing began somewhere on
the regimental line and ripped along in

flame developed great clouds Of smoke
that tumbled and tossed in the mild
wind near the ground for moment and
then rolled through the ranks as
through CRATE. The clouds were
tinged an earth-like yellow in sun rays,
and, in the shadow, were a sorry blue.
The flag was sometimes eaten and lost
in this mass of vapor, but more often it
projected, sun-touched. Respondent
Into the youths eyes there came a
look that one can see in the orbs of a
jaded horse. His back was quivering
with nervous weakness and the mus
cles of his arms felt numb and blood
less. His hands, too, seemed large and
awkward as if he were wearing invisi-
BILE mittens. And there was a great
uncertainty about his knee joints.
He began to exaggerate the endur-
ance, the skill and the valor of those
who were coming. Himself Keeling
from exhaustion, he was astonished be-
yond measure at such persistency. They
must be machines of steel.
He slowly lifted his rife and catch
ing glimpse of the thick-spread field

at a crime. BY heavens, they mad won
after all. The imbecile line had re-
NAMED and become victors.: He could
hear cheering.
He lifted himself upon his toes and
looked in the direction of the fight
A yellow fog lay wallowing on the tree
tops From beneath it came the clat-
ter of musketry. Hoarse cries told of
an advance
He turned away, amazed and angry.
He felt that he had been wronged. The
brittle blue line had withstood the
blows and won. He grew bitter over
it. 1t seemed that the blind ignorance
and stupidity of those little pieces had
betrayed him. He had been overturned
and crushed by their lack of sense in
holding the position, when intelligent
deliberation would have convinced
them that it was impossible. He, the
enlightened man who looks afar in the
dark, had fled because of his superior
perceptions and knowledge. He felt a
great anger against his comrades He
knew it could be proven that they had
been fools.
He went from the field into a thick
woods as if resolved to bury himself
He wished to get out of hearing of the
cracking shots which were to him like
voices.
The ground was cluttered with vines
and bushes and the trees grew close
obliged to. force his way with much
noise. The creepers, catching against
his legs, cried out harshly as their
sprays were torn from the banks of the
trees. The swishing saplings tried to
make known his presence to the world.
He could not conciliate the forest AS
he made his way it was always calling
out protestations. When he separated
embraces of trees and vines the dis
turbcd foliages waved their arms and
turned their face-leaves towards him.
He dreaded lest these noisy motions
and cries should bring men to look at
him. So he went far, seeking dark and
intricate places
After time the sound of muslsetry
grew faint and the cannon doomed In
the distance. The sun, suddenly APP
parent, blazed among the trees. The
insects were making rhythmical noises.

Off, was the rumble of death. It
seemed now that nature had no ears.
He went again into the deep thickets.
The brushed branches made a noise
that drowned the sounds of cannous.
He walked on, going from obscurity
into promises of greater obscurity.
At length he reached a place where
the high, arching boughs made a
chapel. He softly pushed the green
doors aside and entered. Pine needles
were a gentle brown carpet. There
was religious half-light-

saddle and bride. The quiet man,
astride, looked mouse-colored upon such

A jingling staff was galloping hither

was surrounded by horsemen and at

the appearance of a business man whose

The youth went Sinking around this

might call upon him for information.
And he could tell him. He knew all
concerning it. Of surety the force
was in fix and any fool could see that

He felt that he would like to thrash

tell him in plain words exactly what
he thought him to be. It was criminal
to stay calmly in one spot and make no
effort to stay tempestuous defeat. He
loitered in fever of eagerness for the
