1t was the grapple Of cold steel with
cold steel and muscle with muscle, in
the billowing, twisting mob of wres
tiers, with no sound from threats but
straining breaths; with no quarter, nc
distinction of person, and bloodshot
eyes and faces hot with the effort OF
brute strength striving, in primitive
desperation, to kill in order not to be
killed. The cloud of rocking, writing
arms and shoulders was neither 60
ing forward nor backward. Its move
ment was that of a vortex, while the
gray stream kept on pouring through
the breach as if it were only the first
food from some gray lake on the
other side of the breastwork.
Marta had come to the edge OF the
veranda, at once drawn and repelled'
feeling the fearful suspense of the
combat, the savage horror of 1t, and
herself uttering sounds like the strain
ing brearhs of the men. What place
for her to be! But she did not think
of that. She was there. The dreadful
alchemy of war had made her a
stranger to herself, She was mad;
they were mad: all the world was
mad!
One minute - two, perhaps - not
three-and the thing was over. She
saw the Grays being crushed back and
realized that the Browns had won,
while the last details Of the lessening
tumult fixed her attention with their
gladiatorial simplicity. Here, indeed
it was a case Of man to man with the
weapons nature gave him.

CHAPTER XII.
Hand to Hand.

With the first sign of dawn there
was a movement of shadowy forms
taking position In answer to low
spoken commands. The search-light
yielded its vigil to the widespread
beam out Of the east, and the detail
of the setting where Marta was to
watch the play of one Of mans pas
sions, which he dares not permit the
tender flesh of woman to share, grew
distinct. Bayonets were fixed on the
rifles that lay along the parapet Of
sand-bags in front of the row Of brown
shoulders. Back of them In the yard
was a section of infantry in reserve,
also with bayonets fixed, ready to fill
the place Of any who fell out Of line,
q doctor and stretchers to care for
the wounded, and detachment Of en-
gineers to mend any breaches made
In the breastwork by shell fire.
The gunner of the automatic sight
ed his barrel, slightly adjusted its
elevation, and swung 1t back and
forth to make sure that 1t worked
smoothly, while his assistant saw that
the fresh belts of cartridges which
were to feed 1t were within easy reach.
In straw hat and blue blouse, shut
fing with his old mans walk, Teller
came along the path from the gate.
He was, in retreat from the enticing
picture sof the regiment of field-guns
in front of the castle that was ready
for action. AS the infantry had never
interested him, he would be safe from
temptation in the yard.
"This is no place for you'll" said one
of the engineers.
"No, and don't waste any time, Ell
Their, old mani" said another. Back
to your bulbs!"
Teller did not even hear them. For
the moment he was actually deaf.
"Fire! said Dellarme's whistle.
"Thurrrr!" went the automatic in
soulless, mechanical repetition, its
tape spinning through the cylinder,
while the rifles spoke with the human
irregularity of steeltipped fingers
pounding at random on q drumhead.
All along the line facing La Tir the
volume Of fire spread until 1t was like
the concert of a mighty loom.
