Those who remained with their conquered people have done their best to keep their small communities together and to look after their material needs which has, indeed, been the lot of the priests of battle-scarred Flanders for many generations. Others have attached themselves to the hospital service.
Tishy and her father alike ascribed her victory to that redoubtable and already creditably battle-scarred bow and spear; they neither of them recognised the acknowledgments that were due to a certain powerful ally, the May moon. She had stolen up the sky at the back of the woods.
The scene before the grim battle-scarred old fort was not without its picturesqueness. The low vine-covered cabins on the hill side looked more like picture houses than like real habitations of men; the mill with its burned-out roof a reminder of the Indians and its great wheel, now silent and still, might have been from its lonely and dilapidated appearance a hundred years old.
Manlike, he did not grasp the fact that under the circumstance merriment was all she could offer him, if she would save him from his own stupidity. "But I do hate money," she reaffirmed. "I shouldn't. Think of what it brings." "I do; begging letters, impostures, battle-scarred titles, humbugging shop-keepers, and perhaps one honest friend in a thousand.
They well knew that they were destined to the slaughter; but they believed that Murat was invulnerable, and the Emperor had been seen to cross a bridge where so many bullets whistled that they wondered if he were mortal. And even if one must die, what did it matter? Death itself was so beautiful, so noble, so illustrious, in its battle-scarred purple!

And now came the Crusader home, bronzed and battle-scarred, but bringing a great and splendid fame to lay at the feet of his bride.
Battle-scarred old Belgium has not always had a clean slate; but certainly this act of a generous and devoted queen should mark off many scores. The Queen is living at La Panne, a tiny fishing village and resort on the coast an ugly village, robbed of quaintness by its rows of villas owned by summer visitors. The villas are red and yellow brick, built château fashion and set at random on the sand.
The visit to the boss was a part of this plan. The meeting between these two men one, the Governor-elect and until recently the president of Princeton; the other, a Democratic boss, old and battle-scarred in the little sick room of the humble home, was a most interesting affair and at times a most touching and pathetic one. Both men were frank in dealing with each other.
Cnut was there, his bascinet gone, his fiery hair betousled: Tall Orson was there, leaning on a bent and battered pike, and there his comrade, Jenkyn o' the Ford, with many others that Beltane well remembered and others whose faces he knew not. So formed they their battle-scarred array what time Beltane viewed them with glowing eye and heart swelling within him.
One swift glance the Chief Inspector gave at the battle-scarred face, and recognized instantly that this was a badly frightened man. Crossing to the table he took up a typewritten slip which lay there, and: "Your name is James Poland?" he said. "Four convictions; one, robbery with violence." Jim Poland nodded sullenly.
