CHAPTER XIII.
From Brown to Gray.

"You, Marta-you are still there!"
Lanstron exclaimed in alarm when he
heard her voice over the tunnel tele-
phone. "But safe!" he added in re-
lief. THANK God for that! It's a
mighty load off my mind. And your
mother?"
Safe, too"
"Well, you're through the worst of
it. There won't be any more fighting
around the house, and certainly West
erling will be courteous. But where
is Gustave?"
"Gone!"
"Gone!" he repeated dismally.
.sWait until you hear how he went"
Marta said. With all the vividness of
her impressions, partisan for the mo-
ment Of him and Dellarme, she
sketched Feller's part with the auto
matte.
AS he listened, Lanstron's spirit was
twenty again.
Il can see him. he said. 1T was a
full breath of fresh air to the lungs
of a suffocating man. II
Marta was off in interruption in the
full tide of an appeal.
.You must-I promised must
let him have the uniform again!" she
begged. You must let him keep his
automatic. To take it away would
be like separating mother and child;
like separating Minna from Clarissa
Eileen"
Better than an automatic-a bat
terry of guns!" replied Lanstron. This
is where will use any influence I
have witL Partow for all it is worth.
Yes. and he shall have the iron cross.
1t is for such deeds as his that the
iron cross was meant"
"Thank you" she said Its worth
something to make man as happy as
YOU will make him. Yes, you are real
flesh and blood to do this, Lanny.'
Her point won with surprising ease,
when she had feared that military
form and law could not be circum-
vented, she leaned against the wall
in reaction For twenty-four hours
she had been without sleep. The in
terest Of her appeal for Feller had
kept up her strength after the excite
ment of the fight for the redoubt was
over. Now there seemed nothing left
to do.
That's fine of you, Lanny!" she
said. You've taken 1t like good
stole, this loss of your thousandth
chance. You really believed in 1t,

he said. I'll write to his mother my

spoke. s'Who is in commando"
Il am, sir!" said the callow Heuten-
ant, coming up. But the men Of the
company spoke.

1t was not according to military ETH

nothing to them now. They were
above 1t in veteran superiority
Where's Stransky?" demanded the
| staff-oficer
You're looking at bim!" replied
| Stransky with a benign grin.
Seeing that Stransky was only a pri-
vate, the officer frowned at the anon-
ally when lieutenant was present,
then smiled in way that accorded
the company parliamentary rights,
which he thought that they had fully
earned
yes, and he gets one of those iron
crosses!' put in Tom Fragini.
sYes-the first cross for Bert of the
Reds!"
"And we'll let him make dozen
anarchist speeches day."
Yes, yes!'' roared the company.
''The ayes have it!'' the officer an
nounced cheerfully He lifted his cap
to Marta. With tender regard and
grave reverence for that company, he
mark lest a set of men of such dy-
manic spirit might repulse him as an
| invader "The lieutenant is in COM
mand for the present, according to
regulations" he proceeded. "You will
retire Immediately to positions AZ and
49 Al by the castle road. You have
done your part. Tonight you sleep
and tomorrow you rest"
Sleep! Rest! Where had they
heard those words before? Oh, yes,
in distant day before they went to
war! Sleep and rest! Better far than
an iron cross for every man in the
company They could go now with
something warmer in their hearts
than consciousness of duty well done;
but this time they need not go until
their dead as well as their wounded
We're removed.
Feller started to pass around the
corner of the house; he was confront
ed by Marta, who had come to the end
| of the veranda There, within hearing
of the soldiers, the dialogue that fol-
lowed was low-toned, and it was swift
and palpitant with repressed emotion.

vate of the Grays said to you and

The twenty-seventh annual report
Of the Children's Free hospital shows

that from Jan. !. 1913, to Jan. i,
