Here Ventidius gained another victory. He had sent forward an officer named Pompsedius Silo with some cavalry to endeavor to seize this post, and Pompaedius had found himself compelled to an engagement with Pharnapates, in which he was on the point of suffering defeat, when Ventidius himself, who had probably feared for his subordinate's safety, appeared on the scene, and turned the scale in favor of the Romans.
This, despite more than usually fractious behaviour upon the part of the Boche. Next morning, through a sniper's loophole, he exhibited the result of his labours to Major Wagstaffe. The Major gazed long and silently upon his subordinate's handiwork. There was no mistaking it. It stood out bright and gleaming in the rays of the rising sun, amid its dingy surroundings of rusty ironmongery.
"Come under the shelter of that wall," said the sergeant, and pushed his machine to the protection afforded by the side wall of a house. It is possible that the sergeant was anxious to impress upon his subordinate's mind a point of view which might be useful to himself one day. "Minute is a dangerous old man," he said.
Yet had he been older he would have added, "The impossible is only possible to the child of Destiny." He heard a quiet movement behind him, and turned to find the butler standing at his elbow with a tray of early mail, into which the secretary plunged, separating the purely personal from those letters which the great man saw only through his subordinate's eyes.

The sharp-eyed villagers had witnessed the interview with suspicions lulled.
His anger against the man was too real to allow any doubt upon that point.

On my arrival there a yellow envelope was handed to me. I tore it open eagerly and withdrew the contents.
His cheek flushed quickly, and he turned away as if she could have seen his face. Yes she despised him, and THAT was his answer! When he returned, Mr. Fletcher had gone. He dragged through a dinner with Mr. Jackson, Fletcher's secretary, and tried to realize his good fortune in listening to the subordinate's congratulations.
Bryant," he apologized. "I just didn't recognize you in the darkness. Guess I thought you were some tough from the saloon. That was your brother ahead?" Fyles's calm, clean-cut features were in strong contrast to his subordinate's. He was smiling slightly, too. Sergeant McBain was wholly grim. Bill glanced from one to the other.
