In the closet off the Galland library, . where the long-distance telephone was installed, Westerling was talking r with the premier in the Gray capital. t "Your total casualties are eight hun dred thousand. That is terrific, Wes terling!" the premier was saying. "Only two hundred thousand of those are dead!" replied Westerling. "Many with only slight wounds are .,Iready returning to the front. Ter rifc, do you say? Two hundrqd thou sand in five millions is one man out of twenty-five. That wouldn't have worried Frederick the Great or Napo leon much. Eight hundred thousand is one out of six. The tdouble is that such vast armies have never been en gaged before. You must consid0r the percentages, not the totals." "Yet, eight hundred thousand! If the public knew!" exclaimed the pre mier. "The public does not know!" said Westerling. "They guess. They realise that we stopped the soldiers' letters because they told bad news. The situation is serious." a "Why not give the publife somethin to think about?"' Westerling demanded. B w Watched the rstng of Shells Over hi the tasy' Uses. I. I 'Tve tried. It doesn't work.

"For great gains and there must be great risks." ash "We prepare for the movement, the your.excellency." answered Tures. " It was a steel harness of his own tea will that Westerling wore, without ad- ly; mitting that it galled him, and he laid her it off only in Marta's presence. With I her, his growing sense of isolation had the the relief of companionship. She be. ing came a kfd of mirror of his egoism for and ambitions. He liked to have her fes think of him as a great man unruffled tdr among weaker men. In the quiet and tal seclusion of the garden, involuntarily nig as one who has no confidant speaks as to himself, reserving fortitude for his part before the staff, while she, under he the spell of her purpose, silently, with serene and wistfully listening eyes, rea played hers, he outlined how the final di and telling blow was to be struck. a "We must and we shall win!" he g kept repeating. * * * ** thi Through a rubber disk held to his La ear in the closet of his bedroom a no voice; tremulous with nervous fatigue, co was giving Lanstron news that all his to aircraft and cavalry and spies could the not have gained; news worth more ne than a score of regiments; news fresh pa from the lips of the chief of staff of the the enemy. The attack was to be pa made at the right of Engad!r, its cen- su ter breaking from the redoubt manned sti by Fracasse's men. a "Marta, you genius!" Lanstron cried. "You are the real general! You-" til "Not that, please!" she broke In. th "I'm as foul and depraved as a dealer hs In subtle poisons in the middle ages! cle Oh, the' shame of it, while I look into cc his eyes and feign admiration, feign everything which will draw out his cr plans! I can never forget the sight tii of him as he told me how two or three ca or four hundred thousand men were nc to be crowded into a ram, as he called it-a ram of human flesh!-and guns th enough in support, he said, to tear any redoubts to pieces; guns enough to fa make their shells as thick as the bul- I lets from an automatic!" "Well meet ram with ram! We'll have some guns, too!" exclaimed Lan- t Sstron. "Well send as heavy a shell ,i L fire at their infantry as they send into H our redoubts." "Don't. It's too like Westerling. It has become too trite!" she protested. "The end! If I really were helping d toward that and to save lives and our country to its people, what would my private feelings matter? My honor, my soul-what would anything mat ter? For that, any sacrifice. I'm only one human being-a weak, luna tic sort of one, Just now!" "Marts, don't suffer so! You are overwrought. You-" "I can say all that for you, Lanny," o she interrupted with the faintest laugh. e "I've said it so many times to myself. Perhaps when I call you up again I 01 shall not be so hysterical." Lanstron was not thinking of war or war's combination when he hung up the receiver. It was some momenta before he returned to the staff room, and then he had mastered his emo tion. He was the soldier again. An hour or so before the attack the telegraph instruments In the Oalland house had become pregnantly silent d There were no more orders to give; d no more reports to come from the d troops in position until the assault was made. Officers of supply ceased to transmit routine matters over the wire, while they strained their eyes toward the range. Of1cers of the staff moved about restlessly, glancing at their watches and going to the windows fre quently to se if the mist still held. No one entered the library where Westerling was seated alone with I n nothing to do. His suspense was that of the mothers who longed for news c of their sons at the front; his helplsa nss that of a man in a hospital lobby Swattlag on the result of an operation rwhose suencess or failure will save or wreck his careerm. The physieal desire Sof movement, the conflict with some thing in his own mind, drove him out Westerling was rather pleased with the fact that he could still smile; Spleased with the loyalty of younger offeers when, day by day, the star had grown colder and more me. chanical in the attitude that com pleted his olation. Walkins vigor a ously along the path toward the tower, the exrcse of his muscles, the feel Sof the cool, moist air on his face, brought back some of the buoyancy of spirit that he craved. A womana fsg ure, with a cape thfown over the shoul ders and the head bare, loomed out of the mist. "I couldn't stay i-not to-night," Marts said uas Westerling drew near. -i had to see.

"Why I, you and I?" ut It samed very strange to be think in- g of any two persons when hundreds t of thousands were awaiting the signal o for the death prepared by hi. He a mistook the character of her thought in the obsession of his egolam. Up "What do Ilves mean" cried with ad a sudde desperatlo, his grip of her mu shoulders tighteanlng. "It is the law . of nature for man to fight. Unless M Sights he ges to seed. One trouble U with our army is that it was soft from at the want of war.

I - shall have directed the greatest army the world has ever known to victory!" "And defeat means-what does de feat mean?" she asked narrowly, calm ly; and the pointed question released f her shoulders from the vise. What had been a shadow In his - thoughts became a live monster, strik ing him with the force of a blow. He forgot Marta. Yes, what would de feat mean to him? Sheer human na tdre broke through the bonds of men tal discipline weakened by sleepless nights. Convulsively his head dropped as he covered his face. "Defeat! Fall! That I should fail!" he moaned. Then it was that she saw him In the reality of his littleness, which she had Sdivined; this would-be conqueror. 8he saw him as his intimates often see the S great man without his front of Jove. Don't we know that Napoleon had mo ments of privacy when he whined and threatened suicide? She wondered If s Lanny, too, were like that-if it were a not the nature of all conquerors who '. could not have their way. It seemed s to her that Westerling was beneath i the humblest private in his army-be e neath even that fellow with the liver h patch on his cheek who had broken f the chandelier in the sport of brutal e passion. All sense of her own part was I submerged in the sight of a chief of d staff exhibiting no more stoicism than a petulant, spoiled schoolboy. I- While his head was still bent the ar tillery began its crashing thunders and s. the sky became light with fashes. His Ir hands stretched out toward the range, i! clenched and pulsing with defiance and A command. f "Go in! Go in, as I told you!" he is cried. "Stay in, alive or dead! Stay it till I tell you to come out! Stay! I 0 can't do any more! You must do it e now!" "d Then this may be truly the end," u thought Marta, "if the assault falls." '7 And silently she prayed that it would to ail; while the flashes lighted Wester ling's set features, imploring success. In the Browns' headquarters, as in n the Grays', telegraph instruments were I silent after the preparations were over. 0o Here, also, officers walked restlessly, glancing at their watches. They, too, were glad that the mist continued. It meant no wind. When the telegraph i did speak it was with another message i from some aerostatic officer saying, y "Still favorable," which was taken at once to Lanstron, who was with the I staff chiefs around the big table. They m nodded at the news and smiled to one I another; and some who had been pac ing sat down and others rose to begin pacing afresh. "We could have emplaced two lines of automatics, one above the other!" exclaimed the chief of artillery. "But that would have given too much of a climb for the infantry in going In -delayed the rush," said Lanstron. or "If they should stick-if we couldn't s drive them back!" exclaimed the vice chief of staff. ' "I don't think they will!" said Lam stron. To the others he seemed as cool as d ever, even when his maimed hand was twitching in his pocket.( But now, sud denly, his eyes starting as at a horror, he trembled passionately, his head dropping forward, as if he would coa "Oh, the murder of It-the murder!" he breathed. "But they brought it onl Not for r theirs, but for oars!" said the vice chief of staff, laying his hand on Lan stron's shoulder. "And we sit here while they go ina! Lanstron added.

Before the mine exploded, by the light of the shell bursts breaking their vast prisms from central spheres of Ifame for miles, with the quick se quence of a moving-picture flicker, Fracasse's men could see one another's t faces, spectral and stiff and pasty white, with teeth gleaming where jaws had dropped, some eyes half closed by the blinding flashes and some opened i wide as if the lids were paralyzed. ad Paces and faces!

The Browns' guns had opened fire. Explosions were even swifter in sequence than the r- flashes that revealed the stark faces. d Dust and stones and flying fragments I of flesh filled the air. Men went down in positive paralysis of faculties by the d terrific crashes.
