CHAPTER XIV.

When he slowly grew conscious II
was with the glad realization that he
had found her. He felt her hands,
supple and warm, binding a bandage
round his arm. He opened his eyes to
see her face bent over his. And 1t was
dawn.
Vague cries rang in his ears, distant
cries, blending. surging, swelling and
dying down, but never ceaslng. The
rattle of small-arms was continuous,
and punctuated by the loud tmbre of
guns.
He was lying amid heap Of debris
that had been the village jail. Not fay
away he saw the Colonel sitting with
eyes closed. propped up against the
fragments Of wall, blood-stnined
bandage round his head.

All round them the guns were boom
Ing, all round them they saw khaki
clad Americans swarming over the
fields, and yet the village seemed de-
serted. They were alone In a little
oasis Of calm amid the tumult.
"What are we to dor cried the girl.
"Can you walk? Try to stand on your
feet Let me help you. We must get
the Colonel somewhere"
The question on Marks lips died
away as there came the howl Of a
heavy shell, followed by a stunning i'm
pact. A column of broken bricks spout
ed into the air at the end of the street,
dissolving into cloud of dust. An in
terval, and again there came missile
from the monster gun. A house In the
next street went down like cardboard.
1t was the threatened attack on the
American lines. The enemy was In
force somewhere across the fields, the
reserves were rushing up to repel them.
Mark staggered to his feet and found
that he could stand. His arm ached
under the bandage, but 1t was not
broken. Probably splinter had struck
him. He made his way toward the
Colonel, who eyed him vacantly as he
approached.
'Take Eleanor to safety and leave
me, Mark" he said. in choking voice.
I'll take you both, sir. This can't
last long. Our men will be In the vii
inge In a few minutes. Or an ambu-
lance will pass"
Mark put his hands beneath the Colo
nel's arms and tried to lift him.
As the Colonel tried to stand he col
lapsed forward In Marks arms. He
looked at Mark piteously.
"Take her and leave me-" he whis-
pered. "And listen to me, Mark. She
cares Tor you. All will come right, II
I can keep my worthless carcass alive
until I've seen the General. But I
never counted on being done up like
this"
There were tears In the old mans
eyes. "Forgive me, my boy" he NUT
tered. and fell into unconsciousness.
Mark set him down against the wall
again. 1t was impossible to move him,
oven with Eleanor's help.
Mark looked at Eleanor. TITS safest

MISS DANE OF LONDON.

Little Journey" at the Wander
hilt Theatre, Is a very we'll known
English actress. who is not playing
her first engagement In this country,
as many suppose. for she has had ex-
perience here previous to her engage
ment in Rachel Crothers's railroad
comedy. That she is not remembered
for her work with George Arliss in his
revival Of The Professors Love
Story" at the knickerbocker some two
seasons ago IL due to the fact that
Miss Dane had come to America fresh
from England and was suddenly called
back to London on account OF the
sickness Of relative. That she is
here and acting again on Broadway
is due to Cyril Keightley. who has
acted with her both in Eng
land and Australia. Some few months
ago. when Il became necessary to make
a change in the leading feminine role
OF "A Little Journey" Mr.. KeightIey
suggested Miss Dane, and Il goes with
out saying that his suggestion was
adopted. Miss Dane has now given
over one hundred performances OF the
distracted heroine OF "A Little Jour
ney."
On the other side she has played in
The Glad Eye" known here as 1.-THE
Zebra which over there proved
very popular. so much so that
Miss Dane had at least four separate
engagements in the same play. She

AS I was saying" pursued Miss
o'Neil. musical comedy is a real free
ana easy affair compared with hard
and fast dramatic pieces. In a regu-
lar play you have got to make your

Dat or the eye Is measured like clock

In a factory compared to the fun that

much fun out OF Tumble In as a

For instance. In the scene where
the burglar, hiding in the dumb wait
er, gives himself away to me with a
sneeze, I cut into the plot at that mo-
ment last night with an unpro-
grammed Chaplin sort of a walk. I
wasn't looking for q laugh from the

and the audience. feeling that had
taken them into my confidsuce, as II
were. laughed again with apprecia-
ton. Now, that sort of kidding would
mean ruin to the plot of any kind of
play. And, that Is why It is more
run to play in a musical show.
