and the more readily obeyed because
Dellarme's foresight had impressed
their sense upon the men in his quiet
way.
The sand-bags by the tree were
blown up by the Grays. Then, before
the dust had hardly settled, came a
half score Of hand-grenades thrown by
the first men Of Gray wedge. scram-
bling as they were pushed through
the breach by the pressure Of the
mass behind. In that final struggle
Of one set Of men to gain and another
| to hold position, guns or automatlcs
or long-range bullets played no part.
1t was the grapple Of cold steel with
cold steel and muscle with muscle, IN
the billowing, twisting mob of wres'
tiers, with no sound from threats but
straining breaths; with no quarter, no
distinction Of person, and bloodshot
eyes and faces hot with the effort OF
brute strength striving, in primitive
desperation, to kill in order not to DO
killed The cloud Of rocking, writing
arms and shoulders was neither go
ing forward nor backward. It's move
ment was that Of a vortex, while ths
gray stream kept on pouring through
the breach as If it were only the first
food from some gray lake on the
other side of the breastwork.
Marta had come to the edge of the
veranda, at once drawn and repealed
feeling the fearful suspense of the
combat, the savage horror of 1t, anc
herself utterng sounds like the strain

, for her to be! But she did not thinl

CHAPTER xiI-Continued.

But she hurried on, impelled by she
knew not what. through the dining
room, and, coming to the veranda,
stopped short, with dilating eyes and
q cry of grieyous shock. Two Of his |
men were carrying Dellarme back
from the breastwork, where they had
caught him in their arms as he fell. |
They laid him gently on the sward
with a knapsack under his head. HIS
face grew winter with the flow or
blood from the red hole In the right
breast of his blouse. Then he opened
his lips and whispered to the doctor:
"How is it," Something in his eyes,
in the tone Of that faint question, re-
CURED the grace Of soldiers truth
In answer.
Bad" said the doctor.
Then, good-by!" And his head fell
to one side, his lips set in his CHEEKY
smile.
His company was company with
his smile out Of its heart and IN It's
place blank despair. Many Of the men
had stopped firing Some had even
run back to look at him and stood,
caps off, backs to the enemy, miser-
able in their grief. Others leaned
against the parapet, rifles out Of hand,
staring and dazed.

And once we called him Baby Del

Him baby? He was king!"
Men, get to your places!" cried til
surviving lieutenant rather hopelessl
with no Dellarme to show him whs
to do; and Marta saw that few pa
any attention to him.
In that minute OF decentralization Il
Grays had their chance, but only for
minute A voice that seemed to spe;
some uncomfortable thought OF
own broke in, and 1t rang with the a
thority and leadership of mature
icer's command, even though conf

crownless straw hat.

And then another voice in a b
roar, Stransky's:
"Avenge his death! They've got

Revenge! Revenge!"
That cry brought back to the &C
pany all the fighting spirit of
CHEEKY smile and with it another sp
for Dellarme's sake!-which he
never taught them.
Stransky picked up one of seve
cylindrical objects that were lying

"He wouldn't use this-he was
soft-hearted-bu Wilt" he cried,
