But here was a house-a house OF
the Browns; a big, fine house! They
would see what they had won-this
was the privilege of baffled victory,
What they had won was theirs! TIE
the victor the spoils! Pell-mell they
crowded into the dining-room, Hugo
with the rest, feeling himself straw
on the crest of wave, and Pilzer,
most bitter, most ugly of all, his short,
strong teeth and gums showing and
his liver patch red, lumpy, and trem-
bling. In crossing the threshold Of
privacy they committed the act that
leaves the deepest wound of wars in
heritance, to go on from generation
to generation in the history of fami-
lies.
"a swell dining-room! l like the
chandeliers!" roared Pilzer.
With his bayonet he smashed the
only globe left intact by the shell fire.
There was laugh as a shower of
glass fell on the floor. Even the

It is cruel to force nauseaaing,
harsh physic into a

Remember the dose" mother insisted
on - castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children It's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is wellfound-
ed. Their tender little insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli.
cious California Syrup Of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take It; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor-

law, Joined in. Pilzer then ripped VI
the leather seat of chair. This in
troductory havoc whetted his appetite
for other worlds Of conquest, as the
self-chosen leader of the increasing
crowd that poured through the door
way.
Maybe there's food" he shouted.
Maybe there's wine!"
Food and wine!"
Eyes, wine! We're thirsty!"
"And maybe women! I'd like to kiss
pretty maid servant" Pilzer added,
starting toward the hall.
"Stop!" cried Hugo, forcing his way
in front of Pilzer.
He was like no one of the Hugos Of
the many parts that his comrades had
seen him play. His blue eyes had be-
come an infleXible gray. He was stand
ing half on tiptoe, his quiveging
muscles in tune with the quivering
pitch Of his voice:
1--WE have no right in here! This is
private housed"
"Out of the way, you white-livered
little rat!" cried Pilzer, cor I'll prick
the tummy of mammals darling!"
What happened then was so sudden
and unexpected that all we're vague
about details. They saw Hugo in a
catapultic lunge, mesmeric in it's swift
ness, and they saw Pilzer go down, his
leg twisted under him and his head
banging the floor. Hugo stood, half
ashamed, half frightened, yet ready
for another encounter.
Fracasse, entering at this moment,
was too intent on his mission to con.
slider the rights of a personal differ
ence between two of his company.
There's work to do! Out of here,
quick! We are losing valuable time!"
he announced, rounding his men to-
ward the door with commanding ges.
lures. 1--WE are going in pursuit."
Marta, who had observed the latter
part of the scene from the shadows of
the hall, knew that she should never
forget Hugo's face as he turned on Pill
ger, while his voice Of protest struck
singing chord in her jangling nerves.
1t was the voice of civilization, of one
who could think out of the orbit of a
whirlpool of passionate barbarism.
She could see that he was about to
spring and her prayer went with his
leap. She gloried in the impact that
felled the great brute with the liver
patch on his cheek, which was like Q
birthmark of war.

From Brown to Gray

Lanstron exclaimed in alarm when he
heard her voice over tbs tunnel tele-

lief. THANK God for that! It's a
mighty load off my mind. And your
mother?"

"Well, you're through the worst of
it. There won't be any more fighting
around the house, and certainly West
erling will be courteous. But where

"Gone!"
"Gone!" he repeated dismally.
"Wait until you hear how he went, "

her impressions, partisan for the mo-

SYNOPSIS

At their home on the frontier between
the Browns and Grays Marta Galland and
her mother, entertaining Colonel Wester-
ding of the Grays, see Captain Lanstron
of the Browns injured by fall in his
aeroplane. Ten years Later. Westerlng,
nominal vice but real shtef of staff, re-en-
forces South La Tir and meditates on war.
He calls on Marta, who is visiting in the
Gray capital. She tells him of her teach
ing children the follieS of war and mar
tial patriotism, and begs him to prevent
war while he is chief of staff. On the
march with the SOD of the Browns Pri-
waite Stransky, anarchist, is placed under
arrest. Colonel Lanstron begs him or.
Lanstron calls on Marta at her home. He
talks with Teller, the gardener. Marta
tells Lanstron that she believes Feller to
be a spy. LalStrOn ConfeSSeS 1t is true.
Lanstron shows Marta a telephone which
Teller has concealed in a secret passage
under the tower for use to benefit the
Browns in war emergencies. Lanstron de-
clares his love for Marta. Westerling and
the Gray premier plan to use trivial in
ternational affair to foment warlille pa
triotlsm in army and people and strike be-
fore declaring war. Partow, Brown chief
of staff, and Lanstron, made vice, discuss
the trouble, and the Brown defenses. Par
tow reveals his plans to Lanstron. The
Gray army crosses the border line and at
tacks. The Browns check them Artil-
fery, infantry, aeroplanes and dirigibles
engage. Stransky rising to make the
anarchist speech of his life, draws the
Gray artillery fire. NicBed by shrapnel
splinter he goes Berserk and fights-"all

derous brutality. The Browns fall back
to the Galland house. Stransky forages.

ton of the thought to his bruises and
humiliation, pointing his finger at Fell
Ter, Marta heard him say:
you there, In your straw hat and
blue blouse, they've seen you-a man
fighting and not in uniform! If they
catch you it will be drumhead and a
firing squad at dawn!'
That's sol" replied Teller gravely.
But they'll have to make a better
job of it than you fellows did IL they're
going to"
He turned away abruptly but did not
move far. His shoulders relaxed into
the gardeners stoop, and he pulled
his hat down over his eyes and low
cred his head as IL to hide his face.
He was thus standing, inert, when a
division staff-oficer galloped into the
grounds.

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 a 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 a position, guns or automatics
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 be
killed. The cloud of rocking, writing
arms and shoulders was neither 60
ing forward nor backward. It's move
meut was that of vortex, while the
gray stream kept on pouring through
the breach as if it were only the first
flood 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 it, and
herself uttering sounds like the strain
ing breaths of the men. What place
for her to be! But she did not think
of that. She was there. The dreadful
alchemy of war had made her a
stranger to herself. She was mad j;
they were mad; all the world was
mad!
One minute - two, perhaps - not
three-and the thing was over. She
saw the Grays being crushed back and
realized that the Browns had won
while the last details of the lessening
tumult fixed her attention with their
gladiatorial simplicity. Here, indeed
it was a case of man to man with the
weapons nature gave him.
81 thought SOL" cried Teller. "At
tacks on frontal positions by daylight
are going out of fashion,"
1t was he who mercifully arrested
the shower of hand-grenades that fol
lowed the exit of the enemy. Two OF
the guns of the castle batteries, hav
ing changed their position, were max
ing havoc enough at pointblank range
with a choice of targets between
the Grays huddled on the other side
Of the breastwork and those in retreat
One of the Grays, his cheek bearing
the mark Of a boot heel, raised him
