CHAPTER XXI.
The Retreat.


Marta remained where Wester1ing
had left her, rooted to the ground by
the monstrous spell of the developing
panorama of seemingly limitless move
ment. With each passing minute there
must be q hundred acts of heroism
which, If isolated In the glare of a
days news, would make the public
thrill. At the outset OF the war she
had seen the Browns, as part OF pre-
conceived plan, In cohesive rear-guard
resistance, with every detail of per-
sonal bravery utilized factor Of or
ganized purpose. Now she saw de-
tense. inchoate and fragmentary, each
part acting for itself, all deeds Of per-
sonal bravery lost In swirl of disor-
SANITATION. That was the pity Of 1t,
the helplessness of engineers and of
levers when the machine was broken;
the warning Of it to those who under
take war lightly.
The Browns rifle flashes kept on
steadily weaving their way down the
slopes. their reserves pressing clcgS GA
the heels Of the skirmishers In greedy
swarms. A heavy column of Brown in
fantry was swinging in toward the
nayriad-legged. writhing gray caterDil-

and thither with messages, in want of
wires. Commanders had been told to
hold, but how ard where to hold? They
saw neighboring regiments and bri-
gades going and they had to go. The
machine, the complicated modern war
machine, was broken; the machine.
with its nerves of intelligence cut, be-
came a thing of disconnected parts,
each part working out It's own saliva
ton. Authority ceased to be that Of
the bureau and army lists. It was that
of units racked by hardship, acting on
the hours demand.
Gorged was the pass road, over
flowing with the struggling tumult of
men and vehicles. Self-preservation
breaking the bonds of discipline was
in the ascendant, and it sought the
highway, even as water keeps to the
river bed. Like specks on the labor
ing tide was the white Of bandages. An
ambulance trying to cut out to one
side was overturned. The frantic
chauffeur and hospital-corps orderly
were working to extricate the wound
ed from their painful position. A gun
was overturned against the ambulance.
A melee of horses and men was form
ing at the foot OF the garden gate in
front of the narrowing bounds OF the
road into the town, as stream banks
up before jam Of driftwood. The
struggle for right Of way became in

return Of her faculties, she noticed
that both her mother and Minna were
looking significantly at her forearm;
SO she looked at it, too. It was
bandaged.
"A cut from a shrapnel fragment. !"
said a doctor. "Not Deep" he added.
'Do get an iron CROSSE" she asked,
smiling family. 1t was rather pleasant
to be alive.
"All the crosses-iron and bronze
and silver and gold!" he replied.
All firing except occasional scattered
shots had now ceased in the immedi-
ate vicinity. though in the distance
could be heard the snarl of the firmer
resistance that the Grays were max
ing at some other point The GalIand
house. for the time being, was isolated

isn't there something else can do
to help with the wounded?" Marta
asked. She longed for action in order
to escape her thoughts.

creasingly wild; the dam of men,
horses, and wagons grew. A Brown
dirigible was descending toward the
great target; but on closer view its

rama, she did not see Westerling, who
had stopped only few feet distant
with his aide and his valet, nor did he
notice her as the tumult glazed his
eyes. He was as an artist who looks
on the ribbons Of the canvas of his
painting, or the sculptor on the frag-
ments Of his statue. Worse still, with
no faith to give him fortitude except
the materialistic, he saw the altar of
his god of military efficiency in ruins.
He who had not allowed the word re-
treat to enter his lexicon now saw
rout. He had laughed at reserve
armies in last nights feyerish defiance,
at Turcas's advocacy of slower and
surer method of attack. In those hours
of shifting at wall with his fists and
forehead, In denial Of all the truth so
clear to average military logic, If he
had only even a few conventional d.
rections all this disorder would have
been avoided. His army could have
fallen back In orderly fashion to their
own range. The machine out Of order,
he had attempted no repair; he had al
lowed it to thrash itself to pieces.
The artillery's maceration Of the
human jam suddenly ceased; perhaps
because the gunners had seen the Red
Cross flag which a doctor had the
presence of mind to wave. Westerling
turned from a sight worse to him than
the killing OF the flowing retreat
along the road pressing frantically
over the dead and wounded In growing
disorder for the cover Of the town.
Near by were Bellini, the chief Of in
telligence, and subaltern who had
arrived only minute before. The sub
altern was dust-covered. He seemed
to have come in from hard ride. Both
were watching Marta, as if waiting for
her to speak. She met Westerling's
look steadily, her eyes dark and still
and in his the reflection of the vague
realization of more than he had
guessed in her relations with him.
WELL" she breathed to Westerling,
"tfe war goes on!"
That's it! That's the voiceI" ex-
claimed the subaltern in an explosion
of recognition.
A short, sharp laugh Of irony broke
from Bellini; the laugh OF one whose
suspicious are confirmed In the mix
ture of the sublime and the ridiculous.

!Er on the pass road and many field
batteries were trotting along parallel
road Their plan developed suddenly
when a swath of gun-fire was laid
across the pass road at the mouth of
the defile, as much as to say: Here
we make a gate of DEATH" At the
same time the head of the Brown in
fantry column flashed it's bayonets over
the crest of a hill toward the point
where the shells were bursting. These
men minded not the desperate, scat
tered rife-f1re into their ranks. Before
their eyes was the prize Of panic
that grew with their approach. Kinks
were out Of legs stiffened by long
watches. The hot breath Of pursuit
was in their nostrils, the fever OF VIC
tory in their blood.
In the defile. the impulse of one Gray
straggler, who shook handkerchief
aloft in fatalistic submission to the In
evitable, became the impulse OF all.
Soon a thousand white signals OF sur
render were poisoning. AS the firing
abruptly ceased, Marta heard the faint
roar Of the mighty huzzas of the hunt
ers over the size of their bag.
Some doctors of different regiments
thrown together in the havoc OF rem
nants of many organizations, with the
help of hospital-corps men, were try
ing to extricate the wounded from
among the dead. They heard a wom-
ans voice and saw a woman's face.
They did not wonder at her presence,
for there was nothing left in the world
for them to wonder at. Had an imp
from hell or an angel from heaven ap-
peared. or shower OF diamonds fallen
from the sky, they would not have
been surprised. Their duty was clear;
there was work of their kind to do,
endless work. Units of the broken ma
chine, in the instinct Of their calling
they struggled with the duty nearest
at hand They begged her to go back
to the house; this was no place for
her.
But Marta did not want safety. Dam
ger was sweet; it was expiration. She
was helping, actually helping; that
was enough She envied the peaceful
dead-they had no nightmares-as she
aided the doctors in separating the
bodies that were still breathing from
those that were not; and she steeled
herself against every CHASTITY sight
save one, that of man lying with his
legs pinned under a wagon body. His
jaw had been shot away. Slowly he
was bleeding to death, but he did not
realize it. He realized nothing in his
delirium except the nature of his
wound. He was dipping his finger in
the cavity and, dab by dab, writing
Kill mel" on the wagon body. 1t sent
Keeling waves of red before her eyes.
Then shell burst near her and doc
tor cried out:
"Shes hit!"
But Marta did not hear him. She
heard only the dreadful crack of the
splitting shrapnel jacket. She had a
sense Of falling, and that was all.
The next that she knew she was in
a long chair on the veranda and the
vague shadows bending over her grad
ually identified themselves as her
mother and Minna.
II remember when you were telling
Of the last war that you didn't swoon
at the sight of the wounded, mother"
Marta whispered.
But was not wounded" replied
Mrs. Galland.

ness swimming in haze. With the

The Lord my shepherd is; know
No lack of guidance, good, or
grace;
He leadeth me where'er | go,
And maketh clear the path |
trace. =
All places are His pastures green,
On all sides lie His waters still:
In every place Loves power is seen
In every place is known His will.
And thus | come to understand
That God alone is Life and Soul;
Myself and all are in His hand,
And He doth lead, support, con.

AS Father then He leadeth me
In His own paths of righteous
ness;
From all seif.rightsous vauntings
free,
His power alone doth heal and
iess.
And as dark thoughts to Truth give
way,
The bounteouS feast of Love is
spread,
And DER INC dlwns the perfect day
Whence mlS,s and shadows ali
are fled;
Thus, consecrated now anew,
With surer faith and clearer
sight,
Naught e'er again shall could my
view,
Or cen obscure Truths holy
