And the poor little fellowl Come here, Engel-
bertl If my Anna only knew how you are
treated"
Bronisch mumbled something and scratched
himself behind the ear.
Don't scold. l didn't mean to be rough.
But have so many things in my mind. Other
times are coming-and better. Then we shall
ride in carriages and eat broiled meat every
day Only wait till the war is over"
The grandmother laughed contemptuously.
That's what you said the other time, and it
cost you your fine position"
"Who was to blame for that but that red
scoundrel? In such weather, what business
had he to be on the watch in the woods? But
III get him yet. He shall remember me-"
"Do you mean the forester" asked Engel-
bert excitedly.
''Yes, boy mean him.
But he is good man.
"He? A good MANI
Bronisch laughed bitterly
"He? He put me in prison, boy. He drove
your mother to drown herself, boy. Your
good mani"
Engebert looked at his father in amaze
ment. his senses were All III q Will
His father had served term in prison! His
mother had drowned herself!
He clung tremblingly to his grandmother.
And all on account of the forester.
"If you had held your tongue you would have
been more sensible" said the old woman an
grily, drawing the boy close to her. HE would
have learned it soon enough"
Bronisch mumbled something again. Then
he laughed and lighted his PIPE.
"He can know it now. He's old enough to
know And where we go after the war we
shall be respected people. Money rules the
world"
The grandmother gave him searching look.
"WiI it be something honest this time?
Where are you trying to get the money!
She stopped short and became deadly pale

be great treat to see soldiers, many soldiers,
and in the field-gray uniforms which the wood
choppers kept talking about He had seen SOL
diers only in picture books-never real, living
ones Behind the woods, in C, there were
real troops in field gray, as the choppers said.
But they didn't come. Perhaps the Russians
would come first.
"Why should all the people be so afraid of
the Russians?" he said TO himself, as he stood
at the window and peered into the dusk
war like this must be much more interesting
than Indian fights fights with the frontier
guards. He was not afraid. Nor was his
father, although the latter, when he was at
home usually hid himself in the cellar.
Suddenly Engelbert gave a start. He had
seen a light in the distance, which quickly dis
appeared 1t flashed out a second time and
then a third time. Then it seemed as if he
saw something like circle of fire.
He looked hard but all was dark again. He
was trembling with excitement, and gazed with
distended eyes through the window. Were the
men in field gray coming? Or the Russians?
Or was it a spy?
All his senses were in flutter. Then he
heard the dog bark and Immediately afterward
his father hurried into the room. The latter's
hair and beard were covered with frost. His
hat was awry. Beads of perspiration stood
out on his face
He put his stick in a corner, tossed his hat
on the bench by the stove, drank swallow of
hot coffee and threw himself into the easy chair
which stood behind the serving table. He
wiped off his wet shoes and placed them by the
cracking stove.
Engelbert looked shyy at him. But since he
saw his father smiling he ventured to approach
and tell him about the light signals.
The father seemed startled.
why are you always iding at the win
dows?" he thundered. Haven't you anything
else to do?"
"Ach, Gott!" the old grandmother broke in.

for her little house she would not have stayed
in the village, but would have moved away with
her grandson.
And nowl And nowl What was to be done?

INJURED.
And Engelbert caught the words with his
sharp ears.
"They ought to put him in prison again.
Some one ought to run to the Germans and
warn them. Yes, then one could breathe easy
again and thank God"
She put the plate on the table and beckoned
to her grandson to come to supper. But ne
sat still and thought.
"Are the Germans far away, grandmother"
he asked suddenly.
"How do / know, Engelbert? The choppers
say they are in c.. But who can tell? |
believe that they are further away than the
Russians are"
1t had become quiet in the taproom. door
opened and shut. Footsteps cracked over the
snow Engebert went to the window. BY the
light of the half moon he saw his father and
the wood-choppers put their snowshoes,
quickly glide down the slope and vanish into
the night.
Had they gone hunting, or where? Had they
gone to the Germans to warn them and accuse
the forester? That would be better Then the
rascal would get his punishment And he was
Mariele's father. The poor thing She was
only year younger than he, just twelve And
to have such father. A man who would be-
tray his own people!
Then thought came suddenly into his head.
He looked carefully around. The grandmother
was not there. He heard her cleaning up things
in the taproom. Softly he stole outside in front
of the house. Softly he drew on his snow
shoes. Softly he glided away into the night
He struggled onward with all his strength.
His short skis often sank deep in the new
snow. Many times he was obliged to tighten
the straps. And there seemed to be no end TO
the wood. Trees everywhere, trunk on trunk.
And everything was absolutely still and SOL

The lights You are

She raised her voice 20 scream.
"Old fool!" snarled Bronisch resentfully.
"The lights? Do you know who made those
lights? 1t was your forester, your good for
ester, the rascal, the spy"
"Bronisch, you lie!" shreked the old woman.
But Bronisch repeated his accusation, al
ways more and more vehemently.
"You will see! You will see!" he beloved
'I1l fix it on him. Iii run and tell the Ger
mans at once, this very night. May | never
come back safe and sound if the forester isn't
spy"
Excitedly he paced the narrow tavern room.
Two wood-choppers entered at this moment,
so the grandmother withheld her answer. She
turned away and murmured fervent prayer.
But Bronisch wouldn't let the subject drop.
"She will not believe that the forester is
spy, a rascal, who secretly traffics with the
Russians" he cried, looking at the wood-chop-
pers.
"Bronisch is right" said the one.
"Bronisch is right" said the other.
"If any one traffcs with the Russians" the
grandmother began. But she broke off sud
denly and looked at the boy, who squatted next
to her, trembling with fear.
The men drank their whiskey in silence and
drank much. Now and then they glanced at
the clock They whispered together, laughed
and smoked.
"If the Russians come, mother, what are you
going to do?'
Perhaps the Germans will be here first"
she said quietly, and took up her knitting.
A little while afterward she slipped into the
kitchen. Engelbert followed her.
The taproom resounded with the laughter OF
the topers. Engelbert squeezed himself into
corner of the hearth. The grandmother num-
bled softly to herself.
She had never liked her son-in-law, even
when he still wore his foresters uniform. But
since he had been caught smuggling and had
brought misery on the family, they had lived
on terms of bitter enmity. Had it not been

DARkNESS came on early out of the
woods The tavern on the edge of the
~ village stood already in the shadow.
The pale CLEAN Of the dying day still fell on
the oper. srov-covered fields
Little Engebert pressed his face against the
6rrv psres and stared with curious eyes at the
world outside. But he saw only the broad, emp
~ fields and the snowed-in village, which, with
rs shabby houses. struggled down into the
trough of the valley. There was nowhere light
burning The whole village dead. Nearly
All its inhabitants had fled before the Russians.
Only a few old farm laborers had remained,
one or two aged women and Bronisch, the host,
Engebert's father.
what should the Russians do to me?" he
had said to the village pastor.
III stay they viii drink my whiskey with
me. If ! go they viii drink it without me. So
III stay behind and help them to drink it. And
so long as the forester the red scoundrel
,9uats up there in the woods. |, too, can take
nv chances. The Russians will hang him be
fore they hang me-
The pastor had tried to dissuade him. But
he turned away his watery eyes and shook his
tousled head
IN stay whatever happens. The Russians
can't give me a worse deal than the forester
gave me-
They had stuck to the village, and Engebert
was glad that he had not been compelled to go
among strangers, perhaps into some big city
where there were no trees, no woods and no
meadows where people could cross the streets
only when a policeman gave the word. He
wanted to be at home with his father, with the
dog and with his grandmother who had locked
herself in her room for fear they would carry
her away.
Yet he sighed as he stood at the window.
Wouldn't it be fine, now that the snow had
come if all the other boys were there-and the
girls, too Now he was all alone, alone from
morning till night. At sundown a couple of
Wood-choppers came, drank whiskey, talked
about the war and about getting rich out of it.
Engelbert always felt relieved when they went
away without quarrelling and his father came
stumbling to bed
They were men Of bad character, and they
abused the forester, the father of little Marele,
who had once given him deer-fy and had
always come to play with him so long as his
mother was alive and his father had worked
in the forester's house and in the woods. Then
for long time his father had not gone into
the woods, except at night, ana his mother had
always wept
Now since war had come he won't into the
woods by day and returned only after dusk.
II the grandmother had not been there, Engel-
bert would have been left quite alone. But the
grandmother was old and feeble. She paid
very little attention to him. She sat beside
The big Dutch tile stove, nodded her head and
lei the beads of her rosary trickle through her
fingers Often she pricked up her ears, listened
for distant noises, sighed deeply and said:
The Russians will soon be here"
But the Russians did not come Neither did
the Germans come. And Engebert would
have been so glad to see the latter. 1t must
