A Change Of Plan.

That day and the next Weeterling
had no time for strolling in the gar
den. His only exercise was few
periods of pacing on the veranda Tur
cas-, as tirelessly industrious as ever,
developed an increasingly quiet insist
ence to leave the responsibility of de-
cisions about everything of importance
to chief who was becoming increas-
ingly arbitrary. The attack on Enga-
dir being the jewel OF Westerling's
own planning, he was disinclined to
risk success by delegating authority.
which also meant sharing the glory of
victory.
Bouchard's note, though officially dis
missed as matter Of pathology. would
not accept dismissal privately. In
flashes OF distinctness 1t required to
him between reports of the progress
of preparations and directions as to
dispositions. At dusk of the second
day, when all the guns and troops had
their places for the final movement un-
der cover of darkness and he rose
from his desk, the thing that had
edged its way into crowded mind
took possession Of the premises that
strategy and tactics had vacated 1t
passed under the same analysis as hts
work. His overweening pride, SO SEN
sitive to the suspicion of a conviction
that he had been fooled, put his rela-
tons with Marta in logical review. He
had fallen in love in the midst of war.
A cool and intense impotence pos
sessed him to study her in the light
of his new skepticiem, when, turning
the path of the first terrace, he saw
her watching the sunset over the crest
OF the range.
She was standing quite still. slim,
soft shadow between him and the light,
which gilded her figure and quarter
profile Did she expect him? he won

slant for his benefit? When she
turned, her face in the shadow, the
glow of the sunset seemed to remain
in her eyes, otherwise without express
sion, yet able to detect something I'M
usual under externals as they ex-
changed commonplace of greeting.
We'll, there's change in our off,

Westerling.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

All on the subject for the PRESENT.
When it was taken up again his sue

in secret machines like Turcas, was

terling was saying.

After a silence and survey of the
faces around, he added with senten-
tious effect: And l was right about
Bordir!"
To this argument there could be no
answer. The one stroke of general
ship by the Graye, who, otherwise, had
succeeded alone through repeated
mass attacks, had been Westerling' g
hypothesis that had gained Bordir in
q single assault.

1t took more courage than any act
OF his life for the loyal Bouchard to
dare such candor to a superior. See
ing the patchy, yellow. bloodless face
drawn in stin lines and the abysmal
stare OF the deep-set eyes in their
bony recesses, Bellini was swept with
a wave of sympathy.
