His shoulders relaxed Into the gardeners stoop, and he pulled hla hat down over his eyes and low ered hla head as if to hide his face. He was thus standing. Inert, when a division staff officer galloped Into the grounds. "Wbare Is Major Dellarme?" When he saw OeMarme's still body he dismounted and In n tide of feel- In* which, for the moment, submerged all thought of the machine, stood, bead bowed and cup off, looking down at Dellarme's face. "1 was very fond of him! He was as school when f was leaching there. But a good death -a soldier's death!" he said. "I'll write to hia mother my self." Then the voice of the machine spoke "Who Is In command?" ”1 am. air!" said the callow lieuten ant, coming up. But the men of tb« company, apoka. ''Bert Stransky!” they roared It was not according to military eti quette, but military etiquette meant nothing to them now. They were above It In veteran superiority. "Where's Stransky?" demanded the atnffofflcer. "You're looking at him!” replied Stransky with a benign grin. Seeing that Stransky was only a pri vate, the officer frowned at the nnom aly when a lieutenant was present, then smiled In a way that accorded the company parliamentary right*, ■which he thought that they had fully earned. "Yea. and he gels one of those Iron erossa*!" put In Tom Kraglnl. "Yea -the first cross for Bert of the | SReda!" "And we'll let him make a dozen ' Anarchist speech ns a day!" "Yea. yea'" roared the company. "The ayes have It!" the officer an •srnmeed cheerfully.

Keller started to pass around the cvrssi’ of the h«.uae; he was confront wd by Marta, who had come to the end of the veranda There, within hearing •of the eoldlera. the dialogue that fol lowed was low-toned and It was swift and peipltaut with repressed emotion. "Mr. Keller 1 saw you at the auto ti.a ic I beard whsl the wounded prl - of rha Ureys said to you and reellaed how true It was.” J "He la a prisoner He cannot tall."

I "Gore!" “Gone!” lie repeuted dismally. "Wait until you bear how ho went,” ' Marta said. With all the vividness of ' her Impreeeiona, a partisan for the mo -1 moot of him and Dellarme, she sketched Keller's part with the auto | nmtlc. As he listened; Da.nstron’s spirit was twenty again. "I can see him,” he said, “It was a i full breath of fresh air to the lungs of a suffocating man. 1 —" Karla was off in interruption In the full tide of an appeal. "You must I promised -you must let him have the uniform again!" she begged. "You must let him keep hi* automatic. To lake It away would be like separating mother and child; like separating Minna from Clarissa Eileen.” "Better than an automatic—a bat tery of guns!” replied !.anatron. "This Is where I will use any Influence I have with Bartow for all It Is worth. Yes, and he shall have the Iron cross. It la for such deeds as hia that the I iron crosa waa meant." "Thank you.' she said. “IBs worth something to >nak’ a man as happy ah you will make him. Yes, you are real flesh and blood to do thla, lamny." Her point won with aurprlstng ease, when she had feared that military form ami law could not be circum vented, she leaned against the wall In reaction. For twenty-four hours nhe had been without sleep. The In terest of her appeal for Keller had kept up her strength after the excite ment of the tight for the redoubt was over. Now there seemed nothing left to do. "That’s fine of you, I.anny!” she | said. "You've taken It like a good stoic, this loss of your thousandth ! chance. You really believed In It, didn't you?" "Forgotten already, like the many other thousandth chance* that have failed." he replied cheerfully. "One of the virtues of Parfow's steel au tomatons ts that, being tearless as well aa passionless, they never cry ovar split milk. And now," ho want on soberly, "we must be saying good- "Good by, Izxnny? Whv. what do you mean?” She was startled. "Till the war 1* over," he said, "and longer than that, perhaps, If 1* Tlr remains in Gray territory." “You epeak as if you thought you were going to lose!" "Not while many of our eoldlera are alive.

The telephone had become almost a famll'ar tuelltution In her thoughts Its secret had something of the fasci nation for her of magic. "Nonsense!' she exclaimed "I am going to be very lonely 1 xvant to learn how Feller it doing—l want to chat with you So 1 decide not to let It be taken out And. you see, 1 have the tactical situation at you soldier* call It. all In my favor The work of removal must be done at my end of the line You're quite helpless to euforc* your wishes Aud, Danny, If 1 ring the bell you'll answer, won't I you?" "I couldn't help tt!" he replied, "Until then! You've been fine about everything today!" "Until then!" When Marta left the tow or she knew only that she was weary with the mind-weariness, the body-weariness, the nerve weariness of a spectator who hns shared the emotion of every actor in a draws of death and finds the ex cltement that has kept her tense no longer a sustaining force. As she went along the path, step* uncertain from sheer fatigue, her sen sthtlltle* livened again at the eight of a picture War. personal war.

'i see your nose hns been broken once. You don’t xvant It broken a see tid time. I'm stronger than you think!” Minna retorted, and held out her hand carelessly as if It pleased her to humor him. / He was rather graceful, despite his ir.e, as he touched his lips to her fin gers. Just ns he raised his head a burst of cheering rose from the yard. "So you've found that we have gone, on brilliant Intellects!” lie shouted, arid glared at (he wall of the house In the direction of the cheers. "Quick! You have no time to lose!” Minna warned him. "Quick! quick!” cried Marta. Htrannky paid no attention to the urging*. He had something more to say to Minna. ' I'm going to keep thinking of you and seeing your face—the face of a good woman while 1 fight. And when iho war Is over, may I come to call?” he asked. His feet were so resolutely planted on Ihe flags that apparently the only way to move them was to consent. "Yes, yes!” said Minna. “Now, hurry!" “Say, but you make me happy! Watch me poke It Into the Grays for you!" he cried and bolted. , Within the kitchen Mrs. Galland was already slumbering soundly In her chair. Overhead Marta heard the exclamations of male volcee and the tread of what was literally the heel of the cotiqperor--guests that had come without asking! Intruders that had entered without any process of law! Would they overrun the house, her mother’s room, her own room? Indignation brought fresh strength as she started up the stairs. The head of the flight gaP* on to a dark part of the hall. There she paused, held by the scene that a score or more Gray soldiers, who had riotously crowded Into the dining-room, were enacting. They were members of Fracasse's company of the Grays whom Marta had seen from her win dow the night before rushing across the road Into tho garden. When, Anally, they burst Into the redoubt after tt was found that the Browne had gone, all, even the judge's son. were the war demon'B own. The veneer had been warped and twisted and burned off down to the raw ani mal flesh. Their brains had the fever Itch of callouses forming. Not a sign of brown there In ttie yard; not a sign of any tribute after all they had en dured! They had not been able to lay hands on the murderous throwers of hand-grenades. Far away now was barrack room gpnlallty; In oblivion were the ethics of an Inherited civili zation taught by mothers, teachers and church. But here was a bouse--a house of the Browns; a big. fine house! They would see what they had won—thla was th© privilege of baffled rlotory. What they hsd won was theirs! To tba victor the spoilt! Pall mail they crowded into the dining-room. Hugo with th« rest, feeling himself a straw on the crest of s wuve, and Filter, most bliter, most ugly of all. his short, etrong teeth and gums showing and his liver patch red. lumpy, and trem bling. In crossing the threshold of privacy they committed the act that leaves the deepest wound of war's In heritance. to go on from generation to generation In the history of fami lies "A swell diningroom! I like the chandeliers!" roared Pllter. With his bayonet he smashed the only globe left intact by the shell fire. There was s laugh as a shower of glass fell on the floor. Even the Judge s son. the son of the tribune of law, joined in Pllser then ripped up the leather seat of a chair. ' This in troductory havoc whetted his appetite for other worlds of conquest, as the self-chosen leader of the Increaelng crowd that poured through the door wav. "Maybe there'* food!” he shouted. "Maybe there's wine!” "Food and wine!" "Ye*, wine! Were thirety!" "And maybe women! I d like to kite a pretty maid servant!" Pllter added, starting t oxnard the hall.

"There's work to do! Out of here, quick! We are losing valuable time!" he announced, rounding his men to ward the door with commanding ges tures. “We are going in pursuit!” Marta, who had observed the latter part of the scene from the shadows of the hall, knew that she should never forget Hugo's face as be turned on Pil zer. while his voice of protect struck a singing chord In her jangling nerves. It was tha voice of civilization, of one who could think out of the orbit of a whirlpool of passionate barbarism. She could see that he was about to spring and her prayer went with his leap. She gloried in the Impact that felled the great brute with the liver patch on bis cheek, which was like a birthmark of war. Then a staff-officer appeared In the doorway. When he saw a woman en ter the room he frowned He had rid den from the town, which was empty of women, a fact that he regarded as a blessing. If she had been a maid servant he would have kept on his cap. Seeing that she was not, he re moved It and found himself in want of words as their eyee met after she had made a gesture to the broken glass on the floor and the lacerated table top, which said too plainly: "Do you admire your work?” The fact that he was well groomed and freshly shaven did not In any wise dleslpate in her feminine mind his connection with this destruction. He had never seen anything like the smile which “Vent with the gesture. Her eyes were two continuing and chal lenging flames. Her chin was held high and steady, and the pallor of ex haustion, with the blackness of her hair and eyes, made her strangely commanding. He understood that she was not waiting for him to speak, but to go. “I did not know that* there was a woman here!” he said. "And I did not know that officers of the Grays were accustomed to enter private bouses without Invitationst" she replied. “This Is a little different," he began. She Interrupted him. "But the law of the Grays is that homes should be left undisturbed, isn't it? At least, It is the law of civiliza tion. I believe you profess, too, to pro tect property, do you not?” "Why, yes!" he agreed. He wished that he could get a litt'e respite from the Bteady fire of her eye*. It was em barrassing and aa confusing as the white light of an Impracticable loglo. “In that case, please place a guard around our house lest some more of your soldiers get out of control,” she on. "I can do that, yes," he said. "But we are to make this a staff headquar ters and must Btart at one# to put the house In readiness.” "General Westerling'a headquar ters?” she inquired. H# parried the question with a frown. Staff-officers never give infor mation. They receive information and transmit orders. "I know General Westerling. You will tell him that my mother, Mrs. Gal land, and our maid and ciyself wa very tired from the entertainment he has given us, unasked, and we need sleep to-night. So you will leave ue until morning and that door, sir, 1* the one out into the grounds." The staff-officer bowed and went out by that door, glad to get away from Marta's eyes. HWi Inspection of the premises with a view to plans for staff accommodation could wait. Wester ling would not be here for two days at least. “Whew! What energy she has!" he thought. “I never had anybody make me feel eo contemptibly unlike a gen tleman In my life." Yet Marta, returning to the hall, bad to steady herself in a dizzy moment against the wall. Complete reaction had come. She craved sleep ae if it were the one true, real thing in tha world She craved Bleep for the clarity of mind that comes with the morning light. In the haziness of fleecy thought, as slumber drew its soft clouds around her, her last conscious visions were the pleasant ones rising free of a background of horror; of Feller’s smile when he went back to hia auto matic for good, of Dellarme'e smile as he was dying, of Stransky’* smile at Minna gave him hope; and of Hugos fact as ha uttered his flute-like cry of protest. ln*her ears were the haunt ing calmness and contained force,of Danstrons voice over the telephone. She was pleased to think tbat she had not lost her temper in her talk with the staff-officer. No, she had not flared once in Indignation It was aa If she had absorbed some of Danny's own self-control. Danny would approve of her In that scans with an officer of the Grays. And she realized tbat a change bad come over her—a change Inex plicable aud telling—and she was tired—oh. so tired! It had been ex hausting work, tndeed. for one woman, though she had been around tbs world, making war ou two armies. The general staff-officer of the Grays, xx ho had tasted Marts'* temper on his first call, when he returned the next morning did not enter unannounced. He rang tha door-bell. "I have a message for you from Gen eral Weetarllng." he said to her. 'The sensral expresses his deep regret at tha unavoidable damage lo your house and ground* and hat directed that everything possible be done Immedi ately in the way of repairs."

GYLES 18 WORTHY OF SUPPORT OT LABORING PEOPLE Mayor of Aiken, Candidate For Legislature in Second Primary Tomorrow, Showed His Friendship For Working Peo ple When Previously in Leg islature--Horsecreek Valley People Know Him arid Will Give Him Their Support Aiken, S. C.—ln the second primary, to be held tomorrow, Hon. Herbert E. Gyles, now in his second term as may or of Aiken and a former member of the South Carolina general assembly, is a candidate for the legislature, op posed by E. A. Austin, a merchant of VVagener, these two gentlemen having secured in the first race a vote that differed very little in their totals. It was in the early spring that Mr. Gyles, having reached the conclusion that he could give more efficient service to the people of Aiken county in the house of representatives, where he would have wider opportunities for service than as mayor of Aiken, de termined to offer himself as a candi date; and doing go, he entered the con test as the beginning of the. county campaign arid made a clean and digni fied race. Two of his opponents, Mr. L. Toole and Mr. E. E. Brigham, were nominated in the first primary, Mr. Gyles and Mr. Austin being left to run over. Now that the, contest has narrowed down to two men. Mr. Gyles has continued as he began. Since the first primary his protracted cam paign has been just as dignified and as gentlemanly as before; he has con fined himself strictly to the issues, and never at any time has he deviated fro mthig course to deal in personali ties. He has taken the people jnto his confidence and told them what he pro posed to do as a member of the Aiken county delegation; and his platform and his past record, both as represen tative and as mayor of Aiken, make Mr. Gyles the leading candidate in the contest to be decided tomorrow. Mr. Gyles and his friends are confident of his nomination. Friend of Laboring People. Diving close by, coming in closer toucli with the people of Horsecreek Valley and having served their inter ests before when he was in the legis lature, Mr. Gyles knows the needs of the working people. Working for the ten-hour laxv, who'll in 1907 and 1908 he served in the gen eral assembly, and throwing his hnrt and soul into his work, helping to pass it. Mr. Gyles performed a service fc• them which should rally the laboring men to his support at this time. But thßt is not all. He introduced and worked for a bill providing for the re covery of wages due by manufactur ing concerns to employes—a bill to prevent the mills from holding back the pay of employes when they left ttie manufacturers' employ. These two things in Mr. Gyles' rec ord stand out, prAving him the friend of the working man, as does also h',s declaration that he favors cutting down Ihe expense of the state govern ment Instead of raising the tax rate, for it is a very well known fact that It is the man with little propertv on whom the burden of taxation falls. Laborer Worthy of His Hire. Mr. Gyles considers that a laboring man is entitled to a Just and equitable return on his capital—which in his time and his service—Just as the capi talist Is entitled to a* Just return on his capital—which is his •money. In other words, that the laborer should be paid enough to permit of the "li'e. liberty and pursuit of happiness” which is guaranteed under the consti tution of the United States, but some times denied by the greed of eorpori tions. He proposes to prevent, by the enactment of the proper laws, com bines of capital, like mill mergers, which tend to destroy competitive force and to beat down and grind tho laboring people under the heels of capital. This. too. proves him the real friend of the working people. in addition to the bills already re ferred to, Mr. Gyles, when previously in the legislature, introduced and worked for the Gyles-Harley two-.tn l a-half-cent railroad rate bill, an ag ricultural contract law', a bill . > se cure greater uniformity of studv in the public schools and the local ounty goveriment bill. Other Important Matters. Other important matters included in Mr. Gyles' platform are government aid for building good roads, to which he pledges himself to work to secure, and an extension of the educational system of the state so that more and better schools will he provided not only in the cities, but in the mill vil lages aud in the country districts as well. He favors every encouragement for the farmer through the depart ment of agriculture. Throughout the Horsecreek Valiev there are many men who know Mr. Gyles as friend. Some of these do not know him personally, but they know he has helped fight their bat tles. They know that the man who has stood by them In the past la the man who will stand by them In the future. They can trust him, became he has more than once proven hla sincerity of purpose and has shown that he will always work to the Inter est of the laboring class of people. The same thing Is true of the farm ers. who know him and will give him their support, for he has lived for many years at Aiken where he has come Into contact with people from all parts of the county every day, ani he has demonstrated the fact that ne known how to work to the farmers' Interests as well as to the interests of the laboring man. Mr. Gyles ia equipped by education and training and by experience lo per form good service for all the people In the legislature; and the indications are that he will receive a handsome majority at th* poll* tomorow TO CORN CLUB BOY?

Just About Three Weeks More and Our College Athletes Will Proceed lo Fracture Each Other’s Bones New York.—Just about three weeks more and the bulk of our refined young college athletes will proceed about the business of fracturing each other's bones so as to add more honor and glory to their Alma Maters. They prey the lid off the football season with a number of high school games and two real games—Carlisle vs. Albright at Carlisle, Pa., and the University of Maine vs. Fort McKinley at Arono, Me. Short following, about a score more of the big colleges will stage their first games, and the schedule for the 3rd of October shoxvs that every insti tution in the country will have its gridiron army in action. Biggest Game. The biggest game of the year will ibe the Harvard-Michigan combat at Cambridge on Oct. 31st. The Harvard outfit xvith Brickley, Mahan and a half dozen other of the 1913 champions will have a team that .should rank as won derful as any tbat ever battled for the Crimson. Michigan lost Craig, its wonderfull half-back of 1913, through graduation, and several others of the 1913! team will be missing, but 'Hurry Up” Yost feeis confident that he can weld to gether a team that can give the East erners a reamrattle—and no alibis if they lose. “The game with Harvard this year will determine Michigan's standing for the past 15 years and the next 10 years," Yost told his pupils. “In meet ing Harvard we will meet the best there is in the East. We will encount er a style of play that is different than ours, and different thaui we have met before. “Michigan's reputation in the foot ball world is at stake in this game. A decisive victory for Michigan will hear tis out in our contention for twelve or thirteen years, that the Westerrifootball teams on the ax'erage are superior to the best in the East. A defeat, even if our team is not up Germany’s Vast World Trade is One of the Prizes oi War Which England is Trying to Capture London. Germany’s vast world trade is one of the prizes of war which England is trying to capture. While Great Britain's army ia fight ing the Prussian military advance in Belgium and the British fleet is op posing the Kaiser's warships In the North Sea, and with Germany’s com merce swept from the oceans, those remaining behind in England are in itiating a movement of greatest Im portance to capture the German and Austrian trade by invading the world markets to procure for Great Britain a great increase of the earth's com merce. The vastnesS of Germany’s exports demonstrates the oportunlty whlcn Is at hand and suggests the possibility that the United States, too, may prof it commercially by the great war. It is obvious that German commerce will be paralyzed for many montn*, p< «- sibly for years during which time the far reaching requirements of the xvhole world, hitherto largely met by Germany and Austria, must still be met. If the w-orld's wants heretofore filled by Germany and Austria are no longer so filled the work must be done by others. England is alrea 1y after her share. The United Btates. too. probably has an eye on the situa tion. British Movement. The British movement to capture Germany's trade is being tazen tip with great vigor and the British gov ernment Is giving its full official sup port. The Board of Trade, which In England is a government department, is doing everything possible, while the colonial office is gathering all available inforrmstion from the do minions as to the character of all previous German imports. The Cham ber of Commerce, at the same time is arranging meetings between the manufacturers and ertswhile import ers of German products. Another spur to the British ambi tion to capture German trade is tne NEGRO GUI READ FROM WHITE 11 Black Decapitated Thomas Morrisey, of Macon, Sunday. Glaims He Was Shot at. Macon, G«.—After killing and decal • Hating Thomas Morrisey. a white man. at Ha home on John l,ong'a farm, four rnlUe below Macon yesterday morn ing about 1 lo'clock. Frann Johneon, a negro, locked Hip the houae, came to Macon, turned the ke.va over to A. J. Lniv end John I.ong and old ‘.hem what he had done. They were elov to believe hi* story, but took him into custody and turned him over to Sher iff Hlcke. who placed him In the coun ty Jail. % Cluing to the Long farm they found tlie body of Morrisey lying prone on the floor of a two-room houae, where lie made his home, his head lying about Two feet from hie body. A wound on tho head showed that the man had been at least stunned b: the blow of the axe the negru used and the nature of the severed head made It appear that a handsaw had been used. The negro, however, contended that he used the same axe In cutting off the head Claims Morrisey Shot at Him.

So we must not lose. We must win.” j "Discovered.” Quite a number of college coaches whose proteges have been beaten up in other years by the Carlisle Indians now Beem to have "discovered” a good excuse to duck out of scheduling a game xvith the Indians in 1915. The Injuns are tainted!!! They get real money for playing. Honest, they do. And the strange part of it is the:- aren’t ashamed to admit now, and never liax'e made any secret of it in the past. Probably the rival coaches wouldn’t get so exercised about it if those Indians had given their teams half a chance in past football argu ments. But they haven't. They just met the while enemy and walloped them untill they were tired. Then they rested and renewed the walloping. The fact that the Indian players get a divvy of tile gate receipts never has been disguieed by Coach Glen Warner. The school, being a government propo sition, does not feel that it can con seientously accept the big sums real ized from football for the general maintenance of the college. The foot ball expenses each year do not total over $30,000 —sometimes less. Warner took a contract to coach the school. He did it on something like a commission basis. He agreed to take all the receipts and pay all the ex penses. The rest was to be his for his services. But Warner never has kept all the residue.

The most likely places are those where Germany and Austriia formerly predominated. When England, shortly after the start of the war, began to investigate the situation, figures were produced, which astounded the public.

One characteristic jolt was a dis covery of which the general public knew nothing, that Germany export ed twqce as much cutlery a 3 England, which heretofore had been held up the world over to predominate in that line.
