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.
