We were together with Kohlvihr's column, of which I will tell you later.... Now what do you think?" Herr Hartz snorted. He did not care to think. "She didn't stay in Warsaw," Boylan went on, with great intensity. "No, my friend, she joined the hospital corps, and followed him afield " "The Russians take anyone for the hosbittles," the other remarked impatiently.
There was one finger upon his backbone at the neck that shut off the life currents.... Dabnitz opened his eyes presently a choking wad of paper in his mouth. The mammoth looked down upon him and said: "Excuse me, Lieutenant, but I had to have a chance to think." At this instant Boylan saw the paper that the Russian had carried. It had fluttered to the floor, Kohlvihr's signature in plain view.
The main lines on either side had loosened to fill the gaps of Kohlvihr's division, the much-torn outfits braced by the fresher infantrymen. On they went, a last time, over the strewn land.
Again they saw an infantry movement start forth below the endless strings of infantry along the broad lower slopes. They stopped to watch them. Creatures of the hollows, their business to rise and be swept back marching forth now Kohlvihr's command. Peter's eyes filled and his throat stopped at the spectacle of the gray lines. Surely something was the matter with him, he thought.
It was the same tension and tallying of seconds that Peter had known on the afternoon that the moon rose before the setting sun. Big Belt ducked at the second scream. The explosion was nearer and a little back. He returned to field headquarters just as a third shrapnel shivered the land still nearer the bomb-proof pit. Kohlvihr's face was gray as the fringe of his hair. He looked little and aged.
Again he paused, and then looked up to Mowbray. "It's a good omen. That's the real war.... And was it your cup?" "Yes." "You say that you are going out for the Galician service?" "Yes, possibly with Kohlvihr's column." "You will see much service," said Fallows. "That used to be our dream to see service. It will be easier seen with the Russians.
"It seems to say," he told the lens-maker, "'I was this at one time, and now I must go." Orders came for Samarc and Spenski, but they were not to be remotely stationed, since their battery was assigned to Kohlvihr's division a different camp but the same field.
Kohlvihr's division was but a tooth of the main army now; the whole region was massed with Russians marching westward; but still the outfit from Warsaw was enough, all that he could encompass of the mystery of numbers. Others had met the enemy, but these were still virgin. They were listening.
The correspondents were allowed to move in and out of Kohlvihr's headquarters; and, though they paid richly for everything, were treated well, and regarded as guests by the staff officers. Peter had met Kohlvihr in Warsaw before the thought of war a good-tempered, if dull and bibulous old man, he had seemed in the midst of semi-civilian routine; but a different party here afield.
