CHAPTER Xx.-Continued.

CHAPTER XX-Continued
Inside the church the officers were
at dinner. He accepted an invitation
and sat down on the altar steps with
his bit OF bread and morsel of dry
beef
The wavering flare from the camp
lire filtered through the stained glass;
the sombre depths OF the church were
tinged with violet and crinson-dusky
clustered columns glittered purple;
the cruciix was bat.Ied in shadow
save where single trembling beam of
light, red as blood, lay like an open
wound across the pierced side of our
dying Lord.
He looked up into the vaulted roof,
stone-ribbed, black with the shadows
Of centuries. He heard the roar of
the campfres, the crackle of damp
logs. the scrape and stamp and stir of
sleepy horses, the deep breathing of
sleeping men. He rose noiselessly and
crept out into the street. The fog
hung thick on the heavy flying but
tresSes, on 1ieche and gargoyle, and on
the fluted robes OF saints and martyrs,
peering down from their inches into the
fire glow, where, swathed in their
cioaks, lay the martys to be, not
saints. but men. sick, freezing, starv-
ing things. called the One Hundred
and Twenty-esghth of the line

their brief sleep till the white dawn
reused and summoned them home for
ever.
Faint cries from the sentries. fainter
responses, the crackle and snap of logs
afire, and the tall shadows wayering.
these were all that he saw and heard.
The carved stone gargoyles dripped
water from every fantastic snout. the
reflected flames played over pillar and
column, saint and martyr, cross and
crown.
All day he had driven thoughts of
Hide from him, but now, at midnight,
when the lamp of life burns lowest
and the eyes close, and death seems
very near--he thought of her, and ly-
ing down in the street beside the fire,

the soul, stirred i'll the body-perhaps
at the nearness of God-awakens con-
science.
He had never before thought serious
" of death. Its arrival to himself he

had never pictured in concrete form.
In the abstract re had often Iisked it,
never fearing it, because mentally too
inert, too lazy, to apply such d cOnuE-
gency TO his own familiar body. Now,
for the first time in his life he closed
his eyes and saw himself, just as n:
lay, but still, wet. muddy, and horribly
silent. He opened his eyes and looked
sOberly at the ire. After a little he
closed his eyes again, and again he
saw himself lying as he lay, Wet, mud
dy, motionless. as only the dead can
lie. He had known fear, but never be-
fore the dull. foreboding that now
crept into his hear. 60 open MS eyes
and see the fire was to live; to shut
his eyes Was to reflect the image of
death upon hig closed lids. At first
he disdained 10 shake it of-this men
tai shadow that passed across his
senses. What il it were true? He had
lived. Il was the cid se!fishness stiff
ing the sense Of responsibiity-his re-
sponsibility to the world, to himself,
TO Hide. To HIKE?
He sat up in his blanket and stared
into the fire. Slowly the comprehen-
sion of his responsibility came to him,
his duty, ali that was due to her from
him, all that he owed her, ali that she
should claim, one day, claim in life or
in the life to come. Die? He couldn
die-yet. There was something to do
first. Who spoke Of death? There
was too much to do, there were mat
ters Of honor to arrange first, there
was q debt 10 pay that neither death
nor hell nor hope of paradise could
cancel. Was death about to prevent
him from paying that debt?
He was walking now, moving aim
lossly to and fro under the porch of the
church. A sentry. hUddled against
ne passed out into the street. And al
ways his thoughts ran on:
IF I have this debt to pay, what am
I doing here? What right have 1 to
risk death until it is paid? And if I die
if 1 die"
His thoughts carried him no further.
Hides pale face rose before him. He
read terrible accusation in her eyes.
And he repeated aloud, again and
again, Il must go back" For he I'M
d=rstood now that his life was no longer
his own to risk-that it belonged to
Hide. Nor would he ever again have
the right to imperil his life until they
had risen together from their knees,
before the altar, as man and wife. He
looked out into the mist, rudy with
the campfire glow. Would morning ever
come? Why should he wait for morn
irg? At the thought he caught up his
pouch and blanket, rolled, strapped and
adjusted them. and stole out into the
darkness.
Almost at once he heard somebody
following him, but at first he scarcely
noticed it. Down the main street he
passed, over the slippery cobblestones,
eyes fixed on a distant fire that marked
the last bivouac in the village before
the street ends at the ruined bridge
across the Mollette. It was as he 80
preached this campfire that he realized
somebody had been following him. He
paused a moment in the circle of fire
light. and turned around. Nothing
stirred IL the darkness beyond. He
waited. then started on again, crossing
the Lille highway to the line of bushes
that marked the waters edge. No SEN
tinel challenged him; he waded the
ford below the wrecked stone bridge

risked his skin, could do such a thing
might only be explained by himself. In
case of capture he would not be harm
ed If he minded his own business. But
he knew very well that a swift and
mercilesS justice was served out to
those civilians who fired on German
troops. Yet there he stood, firing with
the rest-a mere handful left now out
of the 80. Two or three officers still
kept their feet, half a dozen soldiers
were yet firing into the Second division
of the Prussian guard royal, number
ing nearly $4,000 men. Outside the
shattered windows dirty fingers clutch
ed the stone coping. Already helmeted
heads bobbed up here and there, in
famed Teutonic faces leered into the
church. There came the scrape of seal
ing ladders against the wall; worse
still, the rumble of artillery in the
street close at ha-d.
One of the half dozen surviv-
ors glanced around the church. 1t was
a butchers shambles. Then from the
street came a shout: "Our cannon are
herei Surrender"
Surrender repeated Hardwood va
cantly. Then. as. he saw a wounded
creature stagger up from the floor,
holding out a white handkerchief, he
realized what he had done. Stunned,
he stepped back TO the altar as the fir-
ing died away. He saw the great doors
open; he saw the street outside. wet
and muddy. choked with throngs of
helmeted soldiers all staring up at the
door; he saw d cannon limbered I'D
and dragged away, the mounted can
noniers looking back at the portal
where three dozen French soldiers had
held in check $1,000 Germans.
a soldier, streaming with blood, rose
from the floor of the church and STUN
bled blindly out to the steps; two more
carried a wounded officer between
them on q chair.
Then, as the German troops parted,
and the wounded man was borne out
and down the steps, HARDWOOD felt a
tug at his elbow, and heard a whine.
"Monsieur-there's a hole!"
The next instant he stepped behind
the confessional, crawled through the
dwarf door. and ran for his life.
