Over Forty Years Later
Madame Hauff, now a woman of
aeventy-five years, her son Conmd
a beautiful type of man, father or
two grown-up aons, both of them mar
ried and fathers of young children.
They have worked hard and success
has crowned their efforts, not rent-
ers any more, but proprietors of
proprietors of many, many acres of
land, of big dairies. The formerly
small farmhouse now replaced by a
bsautiful house with broad fields.
Men known and esteemed' everywhere
in the province, honored for their
honesty and integrity, a home wnere
is prosperity and happiness, a home
where exists true love.
Like the proverbial thunderbolt out
of a blue sky the news of the world
war, and again in the mind of the ol 1
woman the terrible past; again that
awful vision of her little boy crying
over the dead body of her husbaii*..
“Thank the Lord, that it can't hap-
pen any more, that she will he spar-
ed that. Belgium is neutral; they
don’t make war here.”
Nuetral Nuetral—A couple of
days later thousands and thousands
of German soldiers in the little town,
mad at the inhabitants because the>
had blown up the bridge over the
Meuse, the bridge that would have
secured their way to France. They
passed the farm of Hauff. A blinding
madness is in the soul of Conrad
when he sees those uniforms, the mur
derers of his father. A terrible rage
that numbs his mind, that destroys
his power of thought; before his eyes
nothing hut a whirling mass of men,
all murderers; in his ears only one
sound, revenge, revenge, revenge—
the word uttered many times as a
child. He throws open the window
through which he sees an endless row
of murderers; he runs for his gun;
he does not see his mother begging,
praying, the advice of his sons; he
shoots into the mass with a curse
upon his lips, a high pitched yell of
diabolical joy out of his throat, and
and again a shot, and again and
again they fall.
Raw German curses below
and at the same time German soldiers
break through the door with the butts
of their guns. Ah, there they are
again, a hundred to one, the cowards.
And the sorts, to save their father, al-
so with guns in their hands. They al-
so shoot in raging fury and in the
midst of a rolling mass of men. They
are overpowered and put against the
wall of a barn.
The old Madam Hauff has looked
again on the dead body of her loved
ones on her own soil; now surrounded
by her crying granddaughters and
her not yet understanding great-
grandchildren. She stares, with a
crazy look in her eyes, on the bodies
of her son and grandsons—on neutral
ground.
