" CHAPTER IV.
I The brigade was halted in the fringe
'of a grove. The men crouched among
the .trees and pointed their restless
guns out at the -fields. They tried to
look beyond the smoke.
! Out of this haze they could see run
ning men. Somo shouted information
and gestured as they hurried.
' The men of the new regiment watched
.and listened eagerly, while their
tongues ran on in the gossip of the
,'battle. They mouthed rumors that
had flown like birds out of the un
known. ,
I The din in front swelled to a tremen
dous chorus. The youth and his fel
lows were frozen to silence. They
i could see a flug that tossed in the
;smoko angrily. Near it were the
'blurred and agitated forms of troops.
There came a turbulent stream of men
'across the fields. A buttery changing
position at a frantic gallop scattered
;thu stragglers right and left,
i A shell screaming liko a storm-ban-;b1ioc
went over the huddled heads of
:the reserves. It landed in the grove
and, exploding redly, Hung the brown
earth. ' There was a little shower of
;pine needles.
I Bullets began to whistle among the
'.brunches and nip at the treo-trnnks.
Twigs and leaves came sailing down.
It was as if a thousand axes, wee and
invisible, were being wielded. Many
;of the men were constantly dodging
land duekiug their heads.
! The lieutenant of tho youth's com
jpany was shot in tho hand. He begun
to sweur so wondrously that a nervous
laugh went along the regimental line.
The officer's profanity Bounded conven
tional. It relieved the tightened senses
of the new men. It wus as if he had
'hit liis tiugcrs with a tuck hammer at
jhomo.
; lie held tho wounded member care
fully7 away from his side so that the
blood would not drip upon his trousers.
) The battlcilag in the distance jerked
-about madly. It seemed to be strug
gling to free itself from an agony. The
billowing smoke was filled with hori
zontal flashes..
Men running swiftly emerged from
It. They grew in numbers until it was
6een that tho whole command was flee
ing. The flag suddenly sank down as
If dying. Its motion as it fell was a
gesture of despair.
Wild yells came from behind the
Avails of smoke. A sketch in gray and
red dissolved into a mob-like body of
men who galloped like wild horses.
: The veteran regiments on the right
:and loft of tho Three Hundred and
;Fourth immediately began to jeer.
With the passionate song of the bullets
and the bunshee shrieks of shells were
mingled loud cat-calls and bits of
facetious advice concerning places of
safe.ty. lltA the new regiment was
Ibreathless with horror. "Gawd, 'Saun
ders got crushed," whispered the man
at tho youth's elbow. They shrank
back and crouched as if compelled to
await a flood.
The youth shot a swift glance along
jthe blue ranks of the regiment. The
profiles were motionless, carven. And
afterwards he remembered that the
color sergeant was standing with his
.legs braced apart as if ho expected to
be pushed to the ground.
The bellowing throng went whirling
Inrotind the flack. Here and there,
'were ofllcers carried along on the
istream liko exasperated chips. They
,wcre striking about them with their
Iswords, and, with their left fiats, punch
ing every head they could reach. They
cursed like highwaymen.
Frequently, over this tumult could
be heard tho grim jibes of the critical
'veterans, but tho retreating men ap
parently were not even conscious of the
.'presence of an audience.
Tho battle reflection that shone in
ithe faces on the mad current made the
outh feel that forceful hands from
jllcaven would not have been able to
lhave held him in place if he could have
:got, intelligent control of his legs,
i The sight of this stampedo exerted a
iflood-liko force that seemed able to
drag sticks and stones and men from
the ground. They of the reserve had
ito hold on. They grew palo and firm,
Jond red and quaking.
The youtX achieved one little thought
in. the midst of this chaos. The com
posite -monster which had caused the
iother troops to flee liad not then ap
peared. Ho resolved to get a view of
'It and then, , he thought, he might very
'likely run better than the best of them.
There were moments of waiting. Then
some one cried: "Here thev como."
, There was rustling and muttering
among the men. They displayed a
feverish desiro to have every possible
cartridge ready to their hands. Their
jboxes were pulled around into various
'positions and adjusted with great
icare. It was as if seven hundred new
ibonnets were being tried on.
I At last a cry was repeated up and
down the line in a muffled roar of sound
j"Here they come. Here they come."
uun-lockc clicked.
I Across the smoke-infested fields came
lb brown swarm of running men who
'iwere giving shrill yells. They came
on stooping and swinging their rifles
et all angles. A flag tilted forward
sped near the front.
CHAPTER V.
! A hatless general pulled his dripping
horse to a stand near tho colonel of the
Three Hundred and Fourth. He shook
his fist in the other's face. "You'vo got
to holfl 'em back," ho shouted savagely.
'You've got to hold 'cm back." He
licemed greatly insulted.
In his agitation, the colonel began to
itammer. . "A-all-right, general, all
right, by Gawd, we-we'll do our best
The general made a passionate gesture
and galloped away.
The' man at the youth's elbow was
mumbling as if to himself: "Oh, we're
In for It now. Oh. we'ro in for It now."
' The captain of tho company had
jheen pacing excitedly to and fro in tho
I car. He coaxed in school-mistress
fashion as to a congregation, of boys
Iwith primers. His talk was an endless
Repetition: 'Reserve your fire, boyi
don't shoot until I toll you, save your
fire wait until they get close up-
con t be damned fools."
I. PersniraUon streamed down, too
youth's face, which was solietriike that
of a weeping urchin. He frequently
with a nervous movement wiped his
eyes with his coat-sleeve, nis mouth
was still a little ways open.
He got the one glance at the foe-
swarming field in front of him and in
stantly ceased to debato the question
of his piece being loaded. Before he
was ready to begin, before he had an
nounced to himself that ho was about
to fight, he threw the obedient, well
balanced riile into position and fired a
first wild shot. Directly, he was work
ing at his weapon like un automatic
aEEr.ir.
He suddenly lost concern for himself
and forgot to look at a menacing fate.
He became not a man but a member.
He felt that something of which he
was a part a regiment, an army, a
cause, or a country was in a crisis. He
was welded into a common personality
which was dominated by a single de
sire. For moments he could not flee,
no more than a little finger can com
mit a revolution from a hand.
' If he had thought the regiment about
to be annihilated perhaps he could have
amputated himself from it. But its
noise gave him assurance. The regi
ment was liko a fire-work, that, once
ignited proceeds superior to circum
stances until its blazing vitality fades.
It wheezed and banged with mighty
power. lip pictured the ground be--
fore it as strewn
& with the discom-
( fited.
Thero was a
consciousness al
ways of the pres
ence of his com
rades about him.
He felt the sub
tle battle broth
erhood more po
tent even than
tho cause for
which they were
lighting. It was
a mysterious
DIRECTLY HE
TVOKKISO.
WAS
fraternity, born of the smoke and dan
ger of 'death.
' Presently he began to feel the effects
of the war atmosphere a blistering
sweat, a sensation that his eyeballs
were about to crack like hot stones. A
burning roar filled his ears.
Following this camo a red rage. Ho
developed the acute exasperation of u
postered animal, a well-meaning cow
worried by dogs. Ho had a mad feel
ing against his rillo which could only
bo used against one life at a time. He
wished to rush forward and strangle
with his finger3. He craved a power
that would enable him to make a
world-sweeping gesture and brush all
buck. His impotency appeared to him
and made his rage into that of a driven
beast.
Buried in the smoke of many rifles,
his anger wus directed not so much
against the men whom he knew were
rushing toward him, as against the
swirling battle-phantoms who were
choking him, stuffing the irsmokc-robes
down his parched throat. He fought
frantically for respite for his senses,
for air, as a babe, being smothered,
attacks the deadly blankets.
1 There was a singular absence of he
roic poses. The men bending and
eurging in their hasto and rage were
in every impossible attitude. Tho
steel ramrods clanked and clanged
with incessant din as the men pounded
them feverishly into the hot rifle bar
rels. The flaps of the cartridge-boxes
were all unfastened and Hupped and
bobbed idiotically with each movement
Tho rifles, once loaded, were jerked to
tho shoulder and fired without appar
ent aim into tho smoke or at one of the
blurred and shifting forms which upon
the field before tho regiment had been
growing larger and larger like pfippets
under a magician's hand.
The men dropped here and thero like
bundles. The captain of the youth's
company hod been killed in an early
part ' of the action. His body lay
stretched in the position of a tired
man resting, but upon his face there
was an astonished and sorrowful look
as if he thought somo friend had done
him an ill turn. The babbling man
was grazed by a shot that made the
blood stream widely down his face.
He clapped 'both hands to his head.
"Oh," he said and ran. Another
grunted suddenly as if he had been
struck by a club in the stomach. He
Bat down and gazed ruefully. In his
eyes there was mute, indefinite re
proach. At last an' exultant yell went along
the quivering line. The firing dwindled
from an uproar to a vindictive pop
ping. As tho smoke slowly eddied
away the youth 6aw that the charge
had been, repulsed. Tho enemy were
scattered into reluctant groups, no
sew a man climb to the top of the
fence and fire a parting shot. The
waves had receded leaving bits of dark
debris upon the ground.
Some in the regiment began to whoop
frenziedly; many were silent Appar
ently, they were trying to contemplate
themselves.
After the fever had left his veins, the
youth thought at last ho was going to
suffocate. He became aware of the
foul atmosphere in which ho had been
struggling. He was grimy and drip
ping like a laborer in a foundry. He
grasped his canteen and took a long
swallow of tho warm water.
A sentence with variations went u.p
and down tho lino. "Well, we've
hcld'cm back, we're held'em back
(Jerned if wo haven't." The men said
it blissfully, leering at each other with
dirty smiles. '
The youth turned to look behind him
and oil to tho right and on" to the left.
He experienced the joy of a man who
at last finds' leisure to look about him.
Under foot, there were a few ghastly
forms motionless.'"' They lay twisted in
fantastic contortions. Arms were
bended and heads wero turned in in
credible ways. It seemed that the
dead men must have fallen from somo
great height to get into such positions.
They looked to be ., dumped out upon
the ground frorn the sky.
From a position in the rear of tho
grove a battery was throwing shells
over it. Tho guns squatted in a row
like savage chiefs. They argued with
abrupt violence. It was a grim pow
wow. Thoir busy servants run hither
and thither.
- ' A small procession of wounded men
wero going drearily to the rear. It
was a flow of blood froiri tho torn body
of the brigade.
.To the right and to the left were the
dork lines of other troops. Far 'in
front ho thought' ho could see lighter
masses protruding in points from the
forest. They were suggestive of un
numbered thousands. '
-Onco he saw a tiny battery go' dash'
ing along the line of the horizon. Tho
tiny riders were beating tho tiny
Jxaxsa- .
From a sloping hill came the sound
of cheerings and clashes.' Smoke
welled slowly through the leaves.
Batteries were speaking with thun
derous oratorical effort. Here and
there wero flags, the red in tho stripes
dominating. They splashed bits of
warm color upon the dark lines of tho
troops.
The youth felt tho old thrill at tho
sight of tho emblems. They wero like
beautiful birds strangely undaunted in
a storm. '
As he listened to the din from the
hillside, to a deep, pulsating thunder
that came from afar to the left, and to
the lesser clamors which camo from
many directions, it occurred to him
that they were fighting, too, over thero
and over thero and over there. Here
tofore, he had supposed that all tho
battle was directly under his nose.
As he gazed around him,, the youth
felt a flash of astonishment at the blue,
puro sky and the sun-gleamings on tho
trees and fields. It was surprising
that nature had gone tranquilly on
with her golden process in the midst tf
so much devilment.
CHAPTER VI
The youth awakened slowly. Ho
came gradually back to a position from
which he could regard himself. For
moments ho had been scrutinizing his
person iu a dazed way, as if ho had
never before seen himself. Then ho
picked up his cap from the ground. He
wriggled in his jacket to make a more
comfortable fit, and, kneeling, relaccd
his shoe. He thoughtfully mopped his
reeking features.
So it was all over at last. The su
preme trial had been passed. The red,
formidable difficulties of war had been
vanquished.
But, of a sudden, cries of amazement
broke out along the ranks of the new
regiment. "Here they como again!
Here they come again!"
The youth turned quick eyes upon
the fiold. IJp discerned forms swelling
in masses out of a distant wood, lie
again saw tho tilted flag speeding for
ward. The shells which had ceased to trouble
the regiment for n time, came swirling
again and exploded in tho grass or
among the luaves of tho trees. They
looked to bo strange war flowers burst
ing into fierce bloom.
The men groaned. Tho luster faded
from their eyes. Their smudged coun
tenances now expressed a profound de
jection. They fretted and complained each to
each. The sore joints of the regiment
creaked as it painfully floundered into
position to repulse.
The youth stared. Surely, he thought,
this impossible thing was not about to
happen. It was all a mistake.
But the firing began somewhere on
the regimental line and ripped along in
both directions. The level sheets of
flame developed great clouds of smoke
that tumbled and tossed in the mild
wind near the ground for a moment and
then rolled through tho ranks as
through a grate. The clouds were
tinged an earth-liko yellow in sun rays,
and, in the shadow, were a sorry blue.
The flag was sometimes eaten and lost
in this mass of vapor, but more often it
projected, sun-touched, resplendent. .
Into tho youth's eyes there came a
look that one can see in the orbs of a
jaded horse. His back was quivering
with nervous weakness and the mus
cles of his arms felt numb and blood
less. His hands, too, seemed large and
awkward as if ho were wearing invisi
ble mittens. And there was a great
uncertainty about his kneo joints.
He began to exaggerate the endur
ance, the skill and the valor of those
who wero coming. Himself reeling
from exhaustion, he was astonished be-.
yond measure at such persistency. They'
must be machines of steel.
ne slowly lifted Jiis rillo and catch
ing a glimpse of the thick-spread field
he blazed at a cantering cluster. He
stopped then and began to peer as best'
he could through the smoke. He caught
changing views of the ground covered
with men who were all running like
pursued imps and yelling.
To tho youth it was an onslaught of
redoubtable dragons. Ho became like
the man who lost his legs at the ap
proach of the red and green monster.'
lie waited in a sort of horrified, listen
ing attitude. Iio seemed to shut his
.eyes and wait to be gobbled.
Men began to scamper away through
the smoke. The youth turned his head,
shaken from his trance, by hm move
ment as if tho regiment were leaving
him behind. Ho saw the few fleeting
forms.
Ho yelled then with fright and swung
about. For a moment, in tho great
clamor, he was like a proverbial
chicken. He'lost tho direction of safe
ty. Destruction threatened lain from
all points.
Directly ho began to speed toward
the rear in great leaps. His riflo and
l caP were gone.
His unbuttoned
coat bulged in
tho wind. The
flap of his cartridge-box
boy

his canteen, by
its slender cord:

imnirincd.
'Tho lieutenant
sprang forward, bawling. The youth
saw his features, wruthfully red, and
saw him muko a 'dab with his sword.
His one thought of the Ucidcnt was
that tho lieutenant .was . a peculiui
creature, to feel interested in such
matters upon this occasion.
He ran liko a blind man. Two or
three times ho full down. Onco he
knocked his shoulders so heavily
aguinst a tree that he went headlong.
Since ho had turned hia back upon
'the light his fears had been wondrously
magnified. Dcuth about to thrust him
between tho shoulder blades was fur
more dreadful than ' death about to
smite him between tho eyei.
As he ran on ho mingled with others.
He dimly saw men ou his right and on
his left, und ho heard footsteps behind
hiin. He thought that all the regiment
was fleeing pursued by these ominous
crashes., .. .,
As ho went across, a llttlo field, ho
found himself in tho recrion of shells.
They hurled over -his head wltfi loug,
wiul bcreams. As ho heard them he
imagined them to havo rows of cruel
teeth that grinned at him. Once, one
lit before him and the livid lightning
of the explosion effectually barred his
6 .
way in his chosen direction. Tie grov
eled on the ground and then springing
up went careering off through some
bushes. (
' The youth moderated his paco when
ho had left tho pluco of noises behind.
Later, he came upon a general of di
vision seated upon a horse that pricked
its ears in an interested way at the
battle. There was a great gleaming oi
yellow and psitcnt-leather about the
saddle and bridle. The quiet man,
astride, looked mouse-colored upon such
a splendid charger.
A jingling stuff was galloping hither
and thither. Sometimes the general
was surrounded by horsemen and at
other times ho was quite alone. He
looked to bo much harassed. He hud
the appearance of a business man whose
market is swinging up and down.
The youth went slinking around this
spot. Iio went us near as ho dared try
ing to overhear words. Perhaps the
'general, unable to comprehend chaos,
might call upon him for information.
And ho could tell him. Ho knew all
concerning it. Of a surety tho force
was in a fix and any fool could see that
if they did not retreat while they had
opportunity why destruction.
lie felt that ho would like to thrash
tho general, or, at least, approach aud
tell him in plain words exactly what
(ho thought him to be. It was criminal
to stay calmly in one spot and make no
effort to stay tempestuous defeat. He
loitered in a fever of eagerness for the
division-commundcr to apply to hira.
But, a moment later, tho youth saw
the general bounce excitedly in his
saddle.
"Yes, by heavens, they havo." The
officer leaned forward. His face was
aflame with excitement. "Yes, by
heavens, they've held them. They've
held them."
He began to blithely ronr at his staff.
He beamed upon the eurth liko a sun.
In his eyes was a desire to chant a
pawn, lie kept repeating: "They've
held 'em, by heavens."
His excitement made his horse plunge
and ho merrily kicked and sworo at it.
He held a little carnival of joy on horse
back. ro 1!E COSTISVIiD.
