so she looked at it, too. 1t was

"All the crosses-iron and bronze

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 llak-
ing at some other point. The Galland
house, for the time being, was isola:ed
in possession of neither side.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Retire at.

Marta remained where Westerling
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 a 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 a swirl of disor-
ganization. That was the pity of it,
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 rife flashes kept on
steadily weaving their way down the
slopes, their reserves pressing close on
the heels of the skirmishers in greedy
swarms.. A heavy column of Brown in
fantry was swinging in toward the

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac-
tice of my profession l have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that unhesitatingly recommend
1t to all my patients.

palate ian essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream for
babies or the aged when deficiency OF
teeth renders mastication impossible.
For fever patients or those on liquid
diet l find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing.
This recipe is my own idea and Is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in a glass Of water for
an hour strain and serve with the
beaten white Of an egg and spoonful
of fruit Juice for flavouring This af-
fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi-
latG without any distress.
"My husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.
PERSONALLY | regard dish Of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In stomach trouble, nervous prostra-
ton, etc, Today trial of Grape-Nuts
will usually work wonders toward
nourishing and rebuilding and IN this
way end the trouble. Name given by

Mo Task for Tvros.

One of the men at the front has told
us how he tried to milk cow-with-
out the expected result. This is not
an easy task for an Impractical hand.
Leslie Stephen was once on a long
tramp in Switzerland, accompanied
by his friend, Doctor Morgan. They
missed their way and found them
selves, parched and hungry, far from
any dwelling place. At length they
came across a COW, from whom they
determined to extract some nourish-
ment, but after trying their best for an
hour, each holding on to her horns in
tWn, they had to abandon all hopes
of milk. This, remarks Doctor Nor
gan, is lone of the very few occasions
on which l ever saw Stephen fairly
thwarted."

Remark Hard to Explain.

Everyone had gathered in the draw
ing room after dinner, and all we're
feeling contented with themselves as
we'll as at peace with the outside
world, when it was suggested as pas
time that every lady should state the
gift she most coveted, and the posses
sion Of which she would most prize,
With prompt acquiescence each regis
tered her choice. Mrs. Wellman wished
for the most exquisite jewels extant.
Mrs. King desired to be the best
dressed woman in society, Mrs. Dray-
ton preferred to own the handsomest
turnouts, while Mrs. Smith craved
popularity. Robinson, springing from
his chair, exclaimed: Heavens! don't
any of you care for beauty" Some OF
them still think it was intentional.

creasingly wild; the dam of men,
horses, and wagons grew. A Brown
dirigible was descending toward the
great target; but on closer view its
commander forbore, the humane i'm
pulse outweighing the desire for retri-
button for colleagues in camp and
mess who had gone down in a holo-
caust in the aerial battles of the night.
Under the awful spell of the pano-
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
rout. He had laughed at reserve
armies in last nights feverish defiance,
at Turcas's advocacy of slower and
surer method Of attack. In those hours
Of shifting at a wall with his fists and
forehead, in denial of all the truth so
clear to average military logic, if he
had only even few conventional d.
rections ali 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 sight worse to him than
the killiMg-that 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
the war goes on!"
That's it! That's the voice!" ex
claimed the subaltern in an explosion
of recognition.

from Bellini; the laugh of one whose

and thither with messages, in want of
wires. Commanders had been told to
hold, but how and 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 its own saliva
ton. Authority ceased to be that Of
the bureau and army lists. 1t was that
Of units racked by hardship, acting on

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 thesambulance.
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 a stream banks
up before a jam of driftwood The
struggle for right of way became in

lar 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 its bayonets over
the crest Of a hill toward the point
where the shells were bursting. These
men minded not the desperate, scat
tered rifle-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 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 blossoming. 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 wom-
| ana UninQ ond yUOnnan'Q faro
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 a 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 foI
her.
But Marta did not want safety. Dan
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 il
the cavity and, dab by dab, writing

URGES ARMY Of
ONE million BOYS
Colonel Thompson Declares
U. S. Must Appropriate
$5OO,OOO,OOO for Defence
NO ECONOMIC
LOSS TO COUNTRY

NEW YORK, SPIT. speaking at
Navy League dinner. Colonel r.
NJ Thompson. president of the Navy
League of the United States, declared
that to avoid becoming entangled in
war with one of the lighting organiza-
tions of Europe, the United States
must appropriate $500 100000 for a
vast naval increase at once. and
must raise a standing army Of one
million young mon between the ages
of eighteen and twenty-onc.'
Colonel Thompson said the standing
army should consist of boys, and that
there should be not a man, except
officers, above the age of twenty-one.
Il say this" he said. because In all
real fighting it is being proved that
the boys are those who make the real
fighters Instead of being a draw
back. however, this fact makes the
problem of our national defence
simpler We have proved that schools
such as West Point and Annapolis
not only create the best soldiers there
are. but that they develop remarkably
fine. we'll educated men. who make
the best citizens when they go into
private life
Colonel Thompson pointed out that
every year are 100000 boys in this
country who reach the age OF eigh-
teen. There would be no loss of time
on the part of the boys in giving them
military training. he added. and there
would be no economic loss to the
country
