A CAPTAIN of the Hungarian Honved,
N who, at the head of his company had

sestroyed barracks on the road between Bory-
sl.v and Lubicnko. With fixed bayonets his

northern slopes of the Carpathians. Now they

the level Galician plain. But he himself lay
there helpless. with desperate wound in his
breast-a part of the blood-staned aftermath
Il the battle He was waiting for the wagon
vsch was to carry him to Lubienko.
Il was late afternoon.
Through the frightful smoke cloud which
hung ike a pail over Boryslav there came now
and then a ray of Redeemed sunlight. But
even redder were the flames which for seconds
At time burst through the denseness of the
smoke cover like fiery breath from the jaws
u hell. The fleeing Russians had set the
torch to the hundred naphtha wells Of Bory-
sav The black, sooty columns. which rose
heavily and silently to heaven, produced twi-
light effect The blaze which broke out of the
well openings, clambered up the gigantic pump
towers and shot out toward the edges OF the
vast overhanging canopy could do little or
nothing 10 dissipate the gloom.
The captain saw nothing Of these gigantic
masses of SCOT and smoke. He lay only half
conscious on a pile of straw in a corner OF
the barracks A dull pain burrowed in his
shattered breast. His spirit was already trav-
cling the darkened roads between life and
death. His soul was in that halfway state
in which JOY and sorrow the thirst for life
and the fear of DEATH mingle in an indistinct
and dreamy sense Of exhaustion. When the
driver lifted him and placed him in the straw
of an old peasant cart he remained completely
passive.
A young Honved lieutenant, who, with a
Bood-soaked bandage about his head, was al
ready sitting in a corner of the cart, weakly
lifted his hand in greeting. But the captain
did not notice it.
The wheels creaked as the vehicle, with its
sorrowful load, got into motion.
It was truly a wagon of death
A lean horse, with a black, seruffy coat,
leaned YEARLY and with hanging head in the
patched-up harness. The driver, an old,
white-haired. crook-backed peasant from some
village in Galicia, whose farmhouse the Rus
slams had burned, sat on the front piece Of the
cart and held the reins loosely in his trembling
hands. The old framework of the wagon

formed in his brain, and his trembling lips
translated them into broken phrases.
"The Russians-the Russians-there in the
pine wood-in the trench. Don't you see the
trench, men? Don't you see them? Back, you
fools-God in heaven-all gone, all lost"
His voice died down to a whimper. The
woman closed her eyes in fear and horror.
The lieutenant smiled in his sleep. His
hands opened tenderly, as if they sought to
clasp something soft and sweet. His lips
trembled little, as if they were whispering
name.
The old peasant on the seat board did not
move his head. He had heard so often the
phantasies of dying soldiers. His aged soul

last sigh came, and then shudder ran through
all his limbs.
With a half-suppressed cry the woman
raised herself She leaned over, with the
upper half of her body toward the captain,
grasped his laxly hanging arms propped his
chin and lifted the head, with its fixed and
staring eyes. The woman cried:
"The name, Speak the name! 1t was not
Lieutenant Haljos? Speak! God in heaven,
only speak"
But the lips of the captain remained dumb.
Whimperingly the woman pleaded:
at isn't so! 1t isn't so that it was
Lieutenant Haljos? Not Lieutenant Haljos!

had become insensible to the horrors Of the
time.
The captain began to gasp for breath. He
stretched out his arm; his eyes burned with
fever and almost stood out of their sockets,
as if they saw some terrible catastrophe being
enacted. Then the words came again, escap-
ing painfully from the shattered chest--warn-
ing, raging, threatening, as though they were
trying to ward off an imminent disaster.
Halt! Halt! You, down there Don't
rush the trench Do you hear me? Don't go
forward Don't go forward! They are squat
ting there concealed. With machine guns.
Now they fire. All dead, all. My lieutenant

groaned. the wheels crunched dolorously in the
sand of the road. 1t seemed as if the vehicle
would fall TO pieces at any moment The
straw and the sideboards both showed dried
out blood stains. How many dying men had
this old cart brought to the hospital? How
many dead men had it carried to their burying
place? s,.hH9t
l.ahoriously they moved along 1t was as
IL the miserable horse felt the menace of the
towering smoke mass rising over Boryslav like
some gigantic, formless beast. He dragged him
self along like a tormented creature, amed in
all his limbs who has no hope of escaping
crushing, on-rushing evil.
j The aged driver sat on the fore rail, dull and
brooding. Behind him the wounded soldiers
~groaned softly.
Once, at a crossroads, sentinel held up
the wagon.
He demanded the password.
"Prnce Eugene" said the peasant with
some difficulty.
The counter password"
"Kolonea."
"PasS on"
The steed trotted ahead.
Night came. But darker than the night
were the monstrous smoke clouds which botted
out the heaven over Boryslav.
The wagon ratified through grove of
birches. The wind sang softly in the leaves
1t sounded sweet and summerlike, as if this
birch wood knew nothing of the Russian terror
which had swept burning and plundering, over
the Galician plain. Yet there were fresh
graves under the waving, softly singing
branches.
Suddenly plaintive woman's voice came out
of the darkness. white hand was raised
implorin9ly out of the shadow.
Halt"
The peasant pulled the reins and made
cracking noise with his tongue. The horse
stopped short and dropped its head.
The woman's voice pleaded:
an Gods name take me along! l can walk
no further"
The peasant made motion of consent with
his head. Painfully the woman clambered
into the wagon, crawled over the straw and
leaned against the sideboard-close up to the
young officer whose head was covered with
blood-soaked bandage.
The horse started to pull, and again the
wheels sighed and groaned.
Inc rays OF searCHllSnI lcib thoIi way
through the darkness like the pale naked arm
Of some mysterious phantom of the air. For
a second the floor of the wagon was lighted up.
The lieutenant looked about and saw the
face of the woman still beautiful in spite of
her distress and her haggardness. The black
hair hung over her brow. In her big eyes
there was an expression of fear and entreaty.
The rays of the searchlight shifted and all
was dark again: The lieutenant let his head
sink The face of the woman had eluded him.
He smiled sadly as if an alluring vision had
been vouchsafed him and then recalled.
The woman, who had seen nothing, sat still
in the wagon, absorbed in her own painful
thoughts She had drawn up her knees, and
the pale, delicate hands were clasped about
them.
The captain dreamed in his heavy sleep-the
semi-coma which separates life from death

The Low shoulder Line of 1880.

There are several 1880 features in
a black and white frock which comes
from Premet, notably the off-the-
shoulder line suggested here by deep
bertha of black velvet. Evening
gowns of the '3Os fell off the shoulder
in precisely this fashion: in fact the
line of the decolletage followed the
upper edge of this black velvet bertha
and one feels there was not much
choice in the way OF modesty be-
tween the 1880 evening bodice and the
model of today over which some In
dividuals are making such fuss. At

SO they say-and afternoon frocks
have the off-the-shoulder line, sug-
