An hour passed-an uneasy and cheerless

The wagon rolled heavily over wooden
bridge. II sounded like distant thunder-like
the thunder of battle far behind the noun
tains.
The captain raised himself with an effort
and thrust his head forward. There was a
martial flash in his eyes. The woman drew
back and crouched tmdly against the side
board of the cart.
Then the captain began to talk, confusedly,
disconnectedly, as if tormented by fearful
visions. Memories seemed to empty them
selves out of his darkening SOUL Once more

| have looked for him. have not been able
to find his regiment"
Softly weeping, she sank back and resumed
her brooding attitude.
The lieutenant in the corner kept on smiling.
Did he see always in his dream the beautl-
full, sad face of the woman which the ray OF
the searchlght had revealed?
All at once he began to sing.
None of the words could be understood II
was a song out of the twilight of the soul,
melodious, though broken; it was dreamy
love song from the sunny plains of Hungary,
sweet like the nightingale music of far-of
violins.
The woman raised her head. Her soft weep
ing stopped. Slowly she groped toward the
lieutenant The straw rustled under her
hands and knees. The wheels creaked under
the cart The hoofs of the horse beat monoto-
nousy on the road. In the distance the lights
of Lubienko shone.
But she heard and saw none of those things.
The soft tones played strangely with her soul.
Wonderful images arose like tender glow of
sunrise out of the lost shadows of the night
and sweet hope blossomed in her mind. She
lifted her face to the dreamer; her lips almost
touched his trembling mouth. 1t was as If
she wanted to drink the song from his lips.
Slowly, tenderly, imporingly she said
as it not so? 1t was not Lieutenant
Haljos?"
But no answer came. The eyes of the
dreaming man remained closed. Only the
melody of the love song crossed his lips.
And the woman listened, spellbound by the
sweetness of the song.
Shyly she laid her hands on his shoulders.
They yielded under the gentle pressure The
eyes opened, the lips ceased to move. A won
derful light came out of the mans eyes. Then
the lids sank and the body collapsed
The woman remained quite motionless until
the wagon stopped before the hospital door.
The driver bent over and saw that both the
men were dead
~ thought" he said indiferently, that
should never get them to Lubienka alive. Get
out, please, lady. We are there"
The woman looked at him with big, staring
eyes. Then she nodded obediently and got out
of the wagon. The light which came from the
hospital illumined her face. 1t was alto
gether tranquil. The set features had Won
derful effect of beauty. A soft smile wreathed
her delicate mouth.
The peasant noticed this, was startled, and
stepped back reverenty.
Calmly, without looking to either side the
woman walked away. She lived no longer in
the fearful present She lived only IN the
sweetness of the past.
