Maj. Hunter looked up slowly
from his board and said. "It should

And the officers were q rejection
Of their men, more restrained be-
cause their training was more COM
plete, more resourceful because they
had more responsibility. but the
same fears were q little deeper
buried in them, the same longings
were more tightly locked in their
hearts. And they were under a
double strain, for the conquered
people watched them for mistakes
and their own men watched them
for weakness, so that their spirits
were taut to the breaking point.
The conquerors were under a ter
rible spiritual siege and every one
knew, conquered and conQuerors,
what would happen when the first
crack appeared.
No More Comfort.
From the upstairs room OF the
Mayors palace the comfort seemed
to have gone. Over the windows
black paper was tackled tightly and
there were little piles OF precious
equipment about the room-the in
struments and equipment that could
not be jeopardized. the glasses and
masks and helmets. And discipline
here at least was laxer. as though
these officers knew there must be
some laxness somewhere or the ma
chine would break.
On the table were two gasoline
! lanterns which threw q hard, bril-
liant light and they made great
shadows on the walls, and their
kissing was an undercurrent In the
| room.
Maj. Hunter went on with his
work. His drawing board was per-
manently ready now, for the bombs
| tore out his work nearly as fast
as he put it in. And he had little
sorrow, for to Maj. Hunter building
was life and here he had more build
ing than he could project or ac-
complish. He sat at his drawing
board with a light behind him and
his T-square moved up and down
| the board and his pencil was busy.
1t. Prackle, his arm still in a sling,
sat in a straight chair behind the
center table, reading an illustrated
| paper At the end Of the table 1t
Tonder was writing a letter. He
held his pen pinched high and
occasionally he looked up from his
letter and gazed at the ceiling, to
find words to put in his letter.

lustrated paper and he said, Il car
