So she went away Into the city , to the

Anti she passed out among the horses and
the troopers. Nobody told her the road. At
a crcssway , in the center of a dismantled
hamlet , the Btupid , freezing troopers
'wheeled to the west , Ililde kept on , her
white taco ftXCd on the road. The gray
dawn came up behind the fortress of the

appeared , but from the forts the smoke
rifts fled away and the guns flashed steadily ,
potmntUng the heights of Chatillon and the
parapets of St. Cloud , where the sullen
Prussian artillery lay breathless , waiting
for the night again to strike. The frozen
road seemed endless. Tbo devastated , treeless -

There was a shell of llaclcened village

concealed by the rocks in the rear of the

a current of wind revealed it again.
On they went , on , on , and still on. The
fort seemed no imearer. They crossed a
dismantled railroad track covered with
snow. The Mouse slipped on the twlsteu

The sun beat down on the expanse of ice

a cannon. Gatlings and mitrailicuses
glimmered behind parapets Jutting from the
rock ; long field pieces peered through abatis

shattered.
