EGBERT. | “We are all agreed upon our verdict, gentlemen?” inquired the presiding of- ficer of the court-martial. “Yes, sir,” answered Major Lafleche. “Yes, sir,” repeated the other mem- bers, down to the junior one, Lieuten- ant Leblanc, who repeated the words in a dry voice and licked his lips nervously. “It is the only verdict possible un- der the laws of war,” said Colonel Boileau, “Let the prisoner be brought in.” Two noncommissioned officers led the young fellow into the tent. He was a fairhaired boy, not more than two or three and twenty. He faced the court impassively, but the fear of death was evident in his ashen face and twining fingere. “Jean Marchand,” said the colonel, “you have been found guilty of the crime of sleeping on sentry duty. There is only one punishment for that. Have you anything to say before sen- tence is pronounced upon you?" “Not much, sir,” answered the boy. “I had not slept for three nights, owing to the forced marches. And the sergeant put me on duty two nights in succession, by error.” “Let Sergeant Lavergne be re- called,” commanded the colonel, and presently the sergeant appeared with- in the tent. “Was the prisoner placed on sentry | duty on two successive nights?” asked Colonel Boileau: “No, sir,” quietly. He was not sure, now that they ques- tioned him, but having given his evi- dence, he did not want to get into trouble. Besides, h» hated the young American who had returned at the | outbreak of war to fight for his fa- ther's country. Marchand, with his American ideas, had been what is callei a “lawyer.” He had made trouble with the commis- sariat, with the little thieving corporal who eold the hay; altopether he was what the sergeant regarded as a bad influence in the force—that is to say, a man, not a machine, War had been declarea four days before, and the company was moving by forced marches toward the frontier. replied the sergeant A Little Old Lady Came In. In war time sleeping on sentry duty has, justly enough, only one penalty— death. Marchand could hope for no mercy, for his negligence might have cost hundreds of lives. He had been brought to America in childhood, and had grown up an Amer- ican in every sense of the word. His father, a silk importer, had prospered in the land of his adoption, and two months before, while on a business trip to his native land, had died sud- denly. The boy and his mother had hurried to France to adjust his affairs. Then Mrs. Marchand had remembered some old friends in Nancy, and had gone there for a brief visit, while the son settled the Paris business tangle. Suddenly. like a bolt from tho blue, war blazed out. Mrs. Marchand, shut up in Nancy, could get no news of her son. And Jean, ablaze with new love for the land of his birth, had enlisted as a private soldier. The tragedy of the affair was that Nancy was not six miles distant, and the mother, waiting there, did not know but that Jean was in Paris. ! Colonel Boileau faced the prisoner. | “The sentence of this court is that you be shot at dawn,” he said. The noncommissioned officers took the young man to the guard tent. The court-martial dispersed. It was eve- ning, and the company had been ordered to advance no further till it received orders. The firing squad which had been told off to perform the execution at dawn whispered together. It was a melancholy duty, yet a necessity, it discipline was to be maintained, for upon the vigilance of her soldiers the safety of the motherland depended. In his tent Colonel Boileau scanned his war map, together with hie alde, Jacquevel, the captain who had en- deavored most strongly of all the | court to find exterluating circume stances When the business of the night was Jene Boileau turned to Jacquevel. ‘It’s «» sad business,” he said. “But L L R e L s it's a necessity. And, to be frank, Jacquevel, I suspected that young man of more than the crime of which he was accused. If it were only that I should telegraph Joffre, asking for a commutation of sentence.” “Of what do you suspect him, sir?” inquired Captain Jacquevel, “Esplonage,” answered the colonel briefly. “He is not a Frenchman. Did you not detect his accent?” “Alsatian,” suggested Captain Jacquevel. “Never,” replied Boileau. “I spent SEDEE SEEIEIIIEIEEIIIS S OHRSAEDH FOOHO e three months in Alsace. Théy have the heavy Teutonic guttural in their | throats, not that North German burr of | Marchand’s. I think—" But what he thought was never said, for at that moment an orderly raised the flap of the tent. “A lady wishes to see you, sir,” he said. “A Mme. Marchand of Naney.” Colonel Boileau looked triumphantly at Jacquevel. “You see,” he said. “A prearranged thing. No doubt another spy, passing as a relativa. Well, show her in, Louis. And we'll keep her when she comes in,” he added to Jacquevel, “unless she can tell a plain story.” The tent flap wae raised again and a little old lady came in. Despite his angry suspicions Colonel Bolleau rose and offered her a camp stool. For the little old lady was so typically French. 'Well, madam?” he asked. “My son has enlisted in your com- pany, colonel,” said the little old lady triumphantly. Yes, there was triumph in her volce and all through the story she told him. For Mme. Marchand had in secret wished that her eon might not forfeit his birthright, and, learning at Nanecy, by a friend who managed to reach her, that Jean had enlisted, nothing would satisfy her but that she must go to the place where he was and see him in the uniform which his father had worn. “And, thank heaven, he is here,” she continued. “I walked from Nancy, starting at noon.” “You walked from Nancy, madam?" inquired the golonel incredulously. “Six milesf Pooh! That is noth- ing. During the war of 1870, when my Philippe wag serving on the frontier, I walked from Nancy to Paris. And ! now I have come to see my Jean In the midet of his comrades. To think that, with all his American citizenship | he preserved his French heart—" | “Did you say he was an American, | madam?” demanded Colonel Boileau | grufily. | “Assuredly. His father and I went ‘ to America when he was a baby, and | he obtained citizenship at twenty-one. | But a Frenchman never forgets France. Now take me to him, colonel!” Colonel Boileau sat staring into the little old lady’s face. She was typi- cally French, so smartly attired, de- spite her widow's weeds. Captain Jacquevel coughed in a melancholy manner and looked down at the ground. “My son is only a private now,” con- tinued Mme, Marchand. “But soon you will see him a corporal, and then a sergeant. He will be promoted for gallantry upon the field and made lieu- tenant, then captain, major—who knows but that the end of the war may see him a colonel?” Colonel Boileau could find nothing| to say. For a long while he sat star- ing at the little old lady. At last he arose, “Captain Jacquevel, you will offer our hospitality to Mme. Marchand until I return,” he said, and, leaving the tent, went to the guard tent. ¥ Inside, between two corporals, sat Jean Marchand. He was seated bolt upright, etaring out into the darkness. The terror had not yet come upon him, for it all seemed like a disordered dream—all the incidents since his en- listment, [T ST LR BT I R S e T R Y ) % Cut i Prices On All Meats Roast Beef per Loin Steak, per Sausage, 2 pounds for .... .. ..
