THE LAST SHOT By FREDERICK PALMER Copyright. 1014, by Chnrles Srrlbner's Son*. "Thf> ongiue »i-jppcd!" exclaimed Westerling, any t.rcce ci emotion lu his obeervo-H Impc-turbabillty that of satisfaction thst tho ~.:cbiae was the enemy's. -«i thinking of the ex hibition, not of the ma.ii ia ine ma chine. Marta was thinking of the man who was about to die. She rushed down tho terrace steps wildly, as if her going and her agonized prayer could avert the inevitable. The plane, descending, skimmed the garden wall and passed out of sight. She heard a thud, a crack ling of braces, a ripping of cloth, but no cry. Westerling had started ofter her, ex claiming. "This is a case for first aid!" •while Mrs. Galland. taking the steps as fast ae she could, brought up the rear. Through the gateway in the gar den wall could be seen the shoulders of a young officer, a streak of red coursing down his check, rising from the wreck. An inarticulate sob of re lief broke from Mcrta's throat, fol lowed by quick gasps of breath. Cap tain Arthur Lanetron was looking into the startled eyes of a young girl that seemed to reflect his own emotions of the moment after having shared those he had in the air. "I flew! I flew clear over the range, at any rate!" he said. "And I'm alive. I managed to hold her so 6he missed the wall and made an easy bump." He got one foot free of the wreck and that leg was all right. She shared his elation. Then ho found that the other was uninjured, just ae she cried In distress: "But your hand —oh, your hand!" His left hand hung limp from the wrist, cut, mashed and bleeding. Its nerves numbed, he had cot as yet felt any pain from the Injury. Now he re garded it in a kind of awakening stare of realization of a deformity to come. "Wool-gathering again!" he mut tered to himself crossly. Then, seeing that she had turned white, he thrust tho diegusting thing behind his back and twinged with the movement. The pain was arriving. "It must be bandaged! I have a handkerchief!" she begged. "I'm not going to faint or anything like that!" "Only bruised—and it's the left. I am glad it was not the right," he re plied. Westerling arrived and Joined Marta In offers of assistance Just as they heard the prolonged honk of an automobile demanding the right of way at top speed in the direction of the pass. "Thank you, but they'ro coming far me," eaid Lanstron to Westerling as he glanced up the road. Westerling was looking at the wreck. Lanstron, who recognized him as an officer, though in mufti, kicked a bit of th® torn cloth over some apparatus to hide it. At this Westerling smiled faintly. Then Lanstron saluted as of ficer to officer might salute across the white posts, giving his name and re ceiving in return Weeterllng's. They made a contrast, these two men, the colonel of the Grays, swart and sturdy, his physical vitality so evi dent, and the captain of the Browns, some seven or eight years the junior, bareheaded, In dishevelled fatigue uniform, his lips twitching, his slender body quivering with the pain that he could not control, while his rather bold forehead and delicate, sensitive features suggested a man of nerve and nerves who might have left experi ments in a laboratory for an adventure In the air. There was a kind of chal lenge In their glances; the challenge of an ancient feud of their peoples; of the professional rivalry of polite duellists. Lanstron's slight figure .seemed to express the weaker number of the three million soldiers of the Browns; Westerling's bulkier one. the four million five hundred thousand of the Grays. "You bad a narrow squeak and you made a very snappy recovery at the last second," said Westerling, passing a compliment across the white posts. "That's in the line of duty for you and me, isn't it?" Lanstron replied, his voice thick with pain as he forced a smile. There was no pose in his fortitude. He was evidently disgusted with him self over the whole business, and he turned to the group of three officers and a civilian who alighted from a big Brown army automobile as if he were prepared to have them say their worst. They seemed between the impulse of reprimanding and embracing him. "I hope that you are not surprised at the result," said the oldest of the of ficers. a man of late middle age, rather affectionately and teasingly. He wore a single order on his breast, a plain iron cross, and the insignia of his rank was that of a field-marshal. "Not now. I should be again, sir," said Lanstron, looking full at the field marshal in the appeal of one asking for another chance. "I was wool-gath ering. But I shall not wool-gather next time. I've got a reminder more urgent than a string tied around my finger." "Yes, that hand needs immediate at tention," said the doctor. He and an other officer began helping Lanstron into the cutomObtle. "Good-by!" he called to the young girl, who was still watching him with big. sympathetic eyes. "I am coming back soon and land In the field, there, and when I do, I'll claim a bunch of flowers," "Do! What fun I" ehe cried, as the car started. "The fleld-marshol was Partow, their chief of staff?" Westerling asked. "Yes," said Mrs. Galland. "I remem ber when he was a young Infantry offi cer before the last war, before he hit won the Iron cross and become bo great. He was not of an army family —a doctor's son, but very clever and skilful." "Gettlng a little old for hie work!" remarked Westerllng. "But apparent ly he Is keen enough to take a i)er sonal interest in anything new." "Wasn't it thrilling and —and ter rible!" Marta exclaimed. "Yes, like war at our own door again," replied Mrs. Galland, who knew ■war. She had seen war raging on ,the pass road. "Lanstron, the young man said his name was," she resumed after a pause. "No doubt the Lanstrone of Thorbourg. An old family and many of them in the army." "The way he refused to give In—that ■was fine!" said Marta. Westerling, who had been engrossed In his own thoughts, looked up. "Courage 13 the cheapest thing an army has! You can get hundreds of young officers v. ho are glad to take a risk of that kind. The thing is," and* bis fingers pressed in on the palm of his hand in a pounding gesture of tho forearm, "to direct and command — head work —organization!" "If war should come again—" Marta began. Mrs. Galland nudged her. A Brown never mentioned war to an offi cer of the Grays; It was not at all In the accepted proprieties. But Marta rushed on: "So n.any would be en gaged that it would be more horrible than ever." "You cannot make omelets without breaking eggs," Westerling answered with suave finality. "The aeroplane will take Its place as an auxiliary," he went on, his mind still running on the theme of her prophecy, which the meeting with Lan etron had quickened. "But war will, as ever, be won by tho bayonet that takes and holds a position. We shall have no miracle victories, no—" There he broke off. He did not ac company Mrs. Galland and Marta back to the house, but made his adieus at the garden-gate. "I'm sure that I shall never marry a soldier!" Marta burst out as she and mother were ascending the stepe. CHAPTER 11. Ten Years Later. His Excellency the chief of staff of the Grays was seldom in his office. His Excellency had years, rank, prestige. The breast of his uniform sagged with the weight of his decorations. He ap peared for the army at great func tions; hie picture was in the shop windows. Hedworth Westerling, th» new vice-chief of staff, was content with this arrangement. His y«"»rs would not permit him the supreme honor. This was for a figurehead, while he had the power. His appointment to the staff ten years ago had given him the field he wanted, tho capital itself, for the play of his abilities. His vital energy, his impressive personality, his gift for courting tho influences that counted, whether mag's or woman's, his astute readiness in stooping to some meas ures that were in keeping with the timee but not with army precedent, had won for him tho goal of his ambi tion. He had passed over the heads of older men, whom many thought his betters, rather ruthlessly. Those who would serve loyally he drew around him; those who were bitter he crowd ed out of his way. In the adjoining room, occupied by Westerling, the walls were hung with the silhouettes of infantrymen, such as you see at maneuvers, in different positions of firing, crouching in shal low trenches, standing in deep trenches, or lying flat on tho stomach on level earth. Another silhouette, that of an infantryman running, was peppered with white points in arms and legs and parts of the body that were not vital, to show in how man; places a man may bo hit with a small caliber bullet and still survive. In this day of universal European conception, if Westerling were to win in war it would be with five millions — five hundred thousand more than wben he faced a young Brown officer over the wreck of an aeroplane—including the reserves; each man running, firing, crouching, as was the figure on the wall, and trying to give more of the white points that peppered the sil houette than he received. Now Turcas, the assistant vice-chief of staff, and Bouchard, chief of the di vision of intelligence, standing on either side of Westerling's deck, await ed his decisions on certain matters which they had brought to his atten tion. Both were older than Wester ling, Turcas by ten and Bouchard by fifteen years. Tui-cas had been strongly urged in inner army circles for the place that Westerliijg had won, but his manner and his ability to court influence were against him. A lath of a man and stiff as a lath, pale, with thin, tightly-drawn lips, quiet, steel-gray eyes, a tracery of blue veins showing on his full temples, he suggested the ascetic no less than the soldier, while his incisive brevity of speech, flavored now and then with pungent humor, without any inflection in his dry voice, was in keeping with his appearance. He arrived with the clerks in the morning and frequently remained after they were gone. As a master of detail Westerling regarded him as an invaluable assistant, with certain limitations, which were those of the pigeonhole and the treadmill. As for Bouchard, nature had meant him to be a wheel-horse. He had never had any hope of being chief of staff. i /Tn h« continued.l [ "FINAL Clean-Up Sale Of Our Entire Stock of Good Summer Clothes There's plenty of time to wear these suits, but not much time to sell 'em, so neither cost nor loss get much consideration from us now.
