the 12Sth, 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 busi-
ness Of systematic approach.
And what OF those OF Fracasse's
men who had not run but had dropped

fire. There was no escape. Some OF
the wounded had a 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 a
swarm OF hornets. In surprisingly
short time he became accustomed to
the situation and found himself raven
ously hungry, for the strain Of the last
IL hours had burned up tissue. He
took biscuit out OF his knapsack and
began nibbling 1t, as became a true
rodent.

Naturally, shall remain!"
Miss Galland, 1t was you-your In

captain turned to Marta In a final ap-
peal.
Mrs. Galland was watching her
daughters face intently.

captain saw In the depths OF her eyes,
cold blue-black, that further argu-
ment was useless.
Now came the sweep of rising roar
from the sky with the command to at

CHAPTER K.
Marts,s First Glimpse Of War.


AS Marta and the children came to
the door OF the chapel after the reel
tation of the oath. she saw the civil
population moving along the street In
the direction of 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 a monotone audi

Gus rile-fre, now broken by the pound

II. Miss Galland7 They are trying to
take our land" said Jacky Werther
as Marta parted from him.
"Yes, Il Is done to beat the Grays,"
she answered. Good luck. Jacky!"
Yes, yes, to beat the Graysl The

gibles, side on, were big sausages and
their planes specks. To the eye. this
meeting was like that OF two small
flocks 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 second she thought, before
she withdrew them In vexation--
hadn't she promised herself not to be
cowardly ITO see one Brown dirigible
and two Brown aeroplanes ascending
at a 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 II the
faint brown line of Dellarme's men
were going to hold or break. II II
held, he might have hours in which
to complete his task; IL it broke, he
had only minutes.
Marta came up the terrace path
from the chrysanthemum bed in time
to watch the shroud Of ehrapnel smoke
billowing over the knoll. to visualize
another scene In place Of the collision
OF the sQuadrons, and to note the cap
tains exultation over Fracasse's re-
pulse.
"How we must have punished theml"
he exclaimed to his lieutenant. How
we must have moved them ,Aswn!
Lanstron certainly knew what b. was
doing"
"You mean that he knew how we
should NOW them DOWN." asked Marta.
Not until she spoke did he reahze
that she was standing near him.
"why, naturallyl 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 a CHASTITY business war IN.
II will be worse here than there"
"Yes." she said blankly. Her color

vinced him that now, with a little
show OF masculine authorit, ne would
gain his point.

very hard to maintain a semblance OF
dignity. Yes. sir, kept near you all
the time. Wasn't that what you wanted
me to do, sir?"
Three or four men burst into a hys-
terical laugh as If something had bro
ken In their throats. Everybody felt
better for this touch of drollery except
the captain. Yet, possibly, 1t may
have helped him in recovering his
poise. Sometimes even a pin-prick

YOAKUM TELLS DOUGLAS
 HOW WE ARE GROWING

Bisbee is going ahead in the road to prosperity as never before in her entire history. according to Jesse Yoakum. superintendent of the War ren District Street railway who was here yesterday, says the Douglas Dis patch. There is not a vacant house in the entire district, the hotels are turning people away daily and, in or der to meet the demand. there is much building in progress.
 The immediate future indicates even brighter prospects for Bisbee and the Warren district than those now obtaining. The recent announce ment of the installation of a concen- trating plant by the Copper Queen company has featured largely in the feeling of security for the future, de- veloped among investors.
 "Bisbee's prosperity and that of Douglas are so closely allied that each city is bound to feel the good times which may exist in the eother," said Mir. Ycakpm. Douglas is also prosperous and Bisbee people are glad of it. The old time feeling of rivalry is dying down and the Warren Dis trict Commercial club and the Doug las Chamber of Commerce & Mines are working hand in hand for mutual betterment."

TOOK EXTENSIVE TOUR
 DURING HIS VACATION

Carl II. Mcconnell, for a long time in the service of the Junction as a fireman. returned yesterday from three months vacation which he spent in travel. Visits to the Re public of Argentina and to London were included in his interesting tour.
 Mir. Mcconnell said yesterday that he failed to find Argentina attrac- tive from the Americans standpoint, although he enjoyed his stay in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires. Ar gentina has no marked favor for Americans, being on the other hand prejudiced strong against them, said Mir. Mcconnell French, English and Germans have the call on the coun- try. in the order named. Tke na- tive labor. employed in all capacities ex rept those of directing powers, is ye.y cheap and the foreigner has no chance of competition.
 From Buenos Aires Mir. Mcconnell sailed to London, enjoying fine ocean passage and a pleasant stay in the worlds trade metropolis. He will resume his old position at the June sion shortly.

MADE
 BY NEW DIRECTORS
Commercial Club Officers Are Named for 1914 - Don Luis Petition Is Favored

At a meeting of the newly elected directors of the Commercial Club last night at the office of the secretary, organization for the ensuing year was made with J. J. Bowen. president, H. B. Hunter. of the Bank of Lowell. vice president, and M. Newman. treas urer. Charles Purdon was re-appoint- ed as secretary.
 The finance committee of the organ ization was named with II. B. Hunter as chairman. E. c. Campbell and Jesse Yoakum are the other mem bers Other committees will be named at the next meeting of the club.
 Aside from the business of organi. zation, the only other matter that came up for consideration was a peti- ton presented by a committee of F from the Don Luis Commercial club asking that the Bisbee organization give it the assistance of its endorse ment of road Improvements in the VI cinity of Don Luis which are much desired by the people of that locality. The endorsement requested was eX. tended, it being the unanimous opin. ions that the improvements asked are needed and distinctly worth while.
