saw neighboring regiments and bri-

rama, she did not see Westerling, who
had stopped only a 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 a

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 sight worse to him than
the killing-that Of the flowing retreat

over the dead and wounded in growing

batteries were trotting along a parallel
road. Their plan developed suddenly
when q swath Of gun-flre was laid
across the pass road at the mouth OF
the deflle, as much as to say: Here

same time the head of the Brown in

the crest of a hill toward the point
where the shells we're bursting. These
men minded not the desperate, scat
tered rife-fre into their ranks. Before
their eyes was the prize Of a 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 deflle, the impulse of one Gray
straggler, who shook handkerchief
aloft In fatalistic submission to the In
evitable, became the impulse Of all.

Some doctors Of different regiments
thrown together In the havoc Of rem

help Of hospitalcorps men. were try
ing to extricate the wounded from

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

was helping, actually helping; that
was enough. She envied the peaceful

PROBABLE LINEUP.
Bv LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

"Both Chick Gandil and Henri
Rondeau ought to be in the game
next week." was the comforting as
surance of Manager Griffith today.
"Gandil is improving rapidly under
the course of electrical treatment be-
ing given him. Rondeau has now
been resting his 'charleyhorse' five
days and is due to get up Sunday.
Guess that looks pretty bad, doesn't
it?
"I1l have to keep Rondeau out of
the game for day or so after he
reports for duty to be certain that
he won't have a relapse, but Gandil
may be in the lineup Monday"

Boehling did.
Bert Gallia was the noon selection of
the Old Fox to face the Yankees in the
