the 128th, which faced the knoll, was
also digging at the base of the slope,
and another regiment in reserve was
deploying on the plain. After the fail
ure to rush the knoll the Gray COM
mander had settled down to the bust
ness of systematic approach.
And what of those Of Fracasse's
men who had not run but had dropped
in their tracks when the charge halt
ed? They were between two lines OF
fire. There was no escape. Some OF
the wounded had mercifully quick
end, others suffered the consciousness
of being hit again and again; the dead
were bored through with bullet holes.
In torture, the survivors prayed for
death; for all had to die except Peter
kin, the pasty-faced little Wallets son.
Peterkin was quite safe, hugging the
bottom of the shell crater under q
swarm of hornets. In a surprisingly
short time he became accustomed to
the situation and found himself raven

gibles, side on, were big sausages and
their planes specks. To the eye, this
meeting was like that of two small
focks of soaring birds apparently un-
able to change their course. But
imagination could picture the fearful
clash Of forces, whose wounded would
find the succor of no hospital except
impact on the earth below.
Marta put her hands over her eyes
for only a second, she thought, before
she withdrew them in vexation-
hadn't she promised herself not to be
cowardly ?-to see one Brown dirigible
and two Brown aeroplanes ascending
at sharp angle above cloud of
smoke to escape the high-angle guns
of the Grays.
We've got them all! No lips sur
vive to tell what the eye saw!" ex-
claimed the engineer captain, his
words bubbling with the joy of water
in the sunlight "As / thought" he
continued in professional enthusiasm
and discrimination.
With high-power binoculars glued to
his eyes, he then turned to see if the
faint brown line of Dellarme's men
were going to hold or break. If it
held, he might have hours in which
to complete his task; if it broke. he
had only minutes.
Marta came up the terrace path
from the chrysanthemum bed In time
to watch the shroud OF shrapnel smoke
billowing over the knoll, to visualize
another scene in place of the collision
OF the squadrons, and to note the cap
tain's exultation over Fracasse's re-
pulse.
"How we must have punished them!"
he exclaimed to his lieutenant. How
we must have moved them down!
Lanstron certainly knew what he was
doing"
tYou mean that he knew how we
should NOW them DOWN." asked Marta.
Not until she spoke did he realize
that she was standing near him.
why. naturally! II we hadn't
moved them down his plan would
have failed. Moving them down was
the only way to hold them back" he
said; and seeing her horror made
haste to add: Miss Galland, now you
know what CHASTITY business war is.

CHAPTER x.
Marta,s FIrst Glimpse 81 War.

Marta's First Glimpse Of War.
AS Marta and the children came to
the door Of the chapel after the reci-
tation of the oath, she saw the civil
population moving along the street in
the direction or the range. There was
nothing for Marta to do but start
homeward. The thought that her
mother was alone made her hasten at
a pace much more rapid than the pro-
cession of people, whose talk and ex-
carnations formed monotone audi
BILE in its nearness, despite the continu-
GUS rife-f1re, now broken by the pound
ing of the guns.
"It's all done to beat the Grays. isn't
1t, Miss Galland? They are trying to
take our land" said Jacky Werther
as Marta parted from him.
Eyes, it is done to beat the Grays,"
she answered. Good luck, Jacky!"
Yes. yes, to beat the Grays! The
same idea-the fighting nature, the
brute nature of man-animated both
sides. Had the Browns really tried for
peace? Had they, in the spirit Of her
oath, appealed to justice and reason?
Why hadn't their premier before all
the world said to the premier of the
Grays, as one honest, friendly neigh
Dor to another over matter of dis
pute:.
1--WE do not want war. We know
you outnumber us, but we know you
would not take advantage of that. If
we are wrong we will make amends;

a cold blue-black, that further argu-
ment was useless.
Now came the sweep of rising roar
from the sky with the command to at
tention of the rush Of fast express
train past country railway station.
Two Gray dirigibles with their escort
of aeroplanes were bearing toward the
pass over the pass road. The auto
matte and the riflemen in the tower
banged away to no purpose. but the
central sections of the envelope OF the
rear dfrigible had been torn in shreds;
it was buckling. Clouds of blue shrap-
mel smoke broke around it's gondola.
A number of field-guns joined forces
with a battery of high-angle guns in
havoc that left drifting derelict; the
remainder of the squadron had COM
pleted it's loop and was pointing
toward the plain.
From a great altitude, literally out
of the blue of heaven, high over the
Gray lines, Marta made out Brown
squadron of dirigibles and planes de-
scending across the track Of the
Grays.
The Gray dirigibles, stern on, were
little larger than umbrellas and the
planes than swallows; the Brown diri-

Unsuccessful Bidders Believe
Contractors Got TGs Much
by Compromise.
COMMISSIONERS ARE D.vI]ED
At Least Two of Them Said to Favor
Reconsideration OF Action Aettoriz-
ing Changes In the Stone
Contract.

Jefferson City.-H was stated here
the other day that some of the con-
tractors who we're unsuccessful bid
ders for the construction of the new
state capitol are likely to protest
over the changes made recently in
the stone contract under which a
treaty of peace was patched up be-
tween the John Gill & Sons Construc-
tion Company and the capitol COM
missioners. It Is known that two Of
the four commissioners, Theodore
Lacaff and ]. c. A. Hitler, are not sat
isfied with the changes and may stand
for a reconsideration. Commissioner
Lacaff opposed the compromise all the
time under which the contractors
were given leave to use stone from
the Ste. Genevieve quarries for part
of the interior of the building and
stone from the Carthage, Cassville and
the Phoenix quarries on the exterior
The basis of the complaint on the part
of the unsuccessful contractors, 1t is
stated, will be that the changes In
the plans are calculated to cheaper
the stone contract for the contractors
The commission will meet here soon
and take these matters up. 1t is pos
sible that the whole stone question
may be opened again and 1t Is also
deemed possible that the commission
rers have surrendered much of their
authority as result of the compro-
mise.

Emergency Hint.

[ Persons falling out of aeroplanes
will find it quite useless to depend
upon any of the ordinary safety de-
vices, antidotes. block systems. fire
extinguishers. life preservers or other
similar contrivances. for though all
of them are perfectly good in their
proper time and place. they do not
meet this particular emergency. The
only thing to do when convinced you
ara falling is to make a thorough ex-
animation OF the underlying land
scape. FOR this purpose 1t 10 often
