"Main floor, madam. Ties? Over
to the left!" And Helen stepped out
of the elevator and made her way to
ward the counter at the other end of
the store The day had been warm,
but there were some things that were
absolutely necessary, and Helen had
ventured downtown In spite Of the
heat. One thin* that could not be
postponed was a birthday present for
Warren.
She had started out ahout 10 o'clock
with a vague idea of buying something
that would be a real surprise, but
nothing seemed to appeal to her in
the light of a difference and she had
almost decided to buy a tie and go
home, the heat was so intense. The
crowd was terrible.
Helen had imagined that the stores
would be almost deserted, but already
the cursious weer on the lookout for
the first glimpse of Kail styles, anil
every department was tilled with a
crowd of rushing, chattering women.
Helen reached the ties and looked
at several in the case before asking
to have any brought out. There
seemed to be a monotony in every
thing. Even the ties showed nothing
original. Perhaps there were some
put away. Anyway it would do no
harm to ask.
"What can I do for you, madam?"
asked the clerk, coining up at that mo
ment. "Something in ties? Perhaps
you have seen something you like in
the case. Have you looked around?"
"Yes. but I don't like any in the
case. Have you anything else?"
"Nothing but what you see, madam.
How do you like this one?" bringing
out an atrocity in blue and green with
an undertone of purple. "These are j
the very newest things; all the men
are wearing them."
"No, I didn't want anything so de-]
cided. If these are all you have 11
won't talke anything." The clerk put,
the tie back in the case and regarded !
her coldly as she walked away.
She Decides to Rest Before Resuming
ller Search
She decided to rest a few minutes;
before trying anywhere else. She;
would go to Thirty-fourth street and ]
have a soda. That would be cooling |
and give her time to collect her j
thoughts. Perhaps Warren would'
like something in the way of jewelry. :
although she was perfectly sure he ■
had everything he needed.
On the corner she encountered aj
huge crowd—something had evidently i
happened—-but she hurried on with
out stopping to see what it was. In |
the cool little candy store, with an |
electric fan buzzing soothingly away
overhead and a frosty drink before her j
on the little round table, Helen felt
so much cooler that she decided to'
stay down and look at draperies. They !
would have to have the living room j
done over in the Fall, and. after all,,
there wasn't so much time left before '
Warren took her West.
She gathered up her things to leave j
and was sauntering slowly hack to- ]
ward the shopping district when some 1
one behind her said laughingly:
"How much longer are you going
to make me follow you before you
turn around?"
"Louise! What are you doing down- i
town on a day like this?"
"I might ask what you are doing. 11
should thinlr you would lie so furious!
that you hadn't stayed up at the j
Bluffs that even a hint at cooler |
weather would hardly tempt you out
to shop."
"What about yourself? Aren't you
planning to stay in the city all sum
mer, just becaitse Boh can't get
away?"
"And aren't you buck in the city
when you might have stayed where
you were. just because Warren
couldn't, stay?" mocked Louise. Helen
laughed.
"Well, anyway, I have a perfectly
good reason for being downtown. I
want to get Warren something really
nice for his birthday. By the way,
won't you and Bob come up for din
ner that night, if you haven't any
thing else to do?"
"Delighted. I can't think of any
thing I'd rather do. Bob and I are
looking forward to the Fall, when we.
can go to housekeeping. Of course,
everything is simply fine where we
are. but I do want a home of my own
so badly!"

where near us. It must be fun to plan
to have everything new again and to

TUESDAY EVENING,
i said this wistfully, but Louise was so
I eager to speak that she hardly noticed
i Helen's ma nner at all.
, "Oh, Helerv" she went on. "Bob is
such a dear. Do you know, he actu
ally tries to make up to me for stay-|
] ing in the city. As if such a thing]
i were necessary. But he always comes!
home with plans for week-end trips
and all sorts of nice things. Be
tween you and me, Helen, he really'
spoils me."
I Helen tried to smother the little
envious pang in her heart. Whenever I
she saw Louise it was there, no mat
ter how hard she tried to reason it I
'away. Surely she ought to be the|
happiest woman in the world. What!
i had she to wish for that she really'
ought to have?
And then that little voice would
whisper maridingly: "You miss the
little first thrills, the little attentions
that you once took as a matter of
course, but which are lacking now.";
Did she regret anything? Would:
she liave anything different if it were
possible for her to pick and choose?
! Nothing but to have Warren a little]
i more considerate of her feelings, a i
i little more loverlike, a little more like 1
the man she had married, who, al-j
though he had always been more dic
! tatorial than Bob, was at one time just I
i as tender, just as attentive.
They had stopped at the store [
where both did nearly all their shop- i
l'ing.
"Do you mind going upstairs with |
ine. first?" said Louise suddenly. "I i
have a definite thing that 1 came'
i downtown to get, and after that 1 can
; help you with Warren's present, if you j
; like."
A few minutes later they were get-!
I ting off at the sixth floor.
"Bob is going to let me be really j
I extravagant for once. I don't let him [
| spoil me like this very often, but I
I have been wanting this set for ages.
| It's for my own little boudoir," she
! explained, "and it's a tea set, pale
I yellow Limoges. Here it is, isn't it j
! sweet?" And Helen found herself,
! picking out cups and saucers and a j
tiny cream jug and sugar bowl, while j
I Louise added a lemon dish and a
j <iuaint tea pot.
I "You must come up often after we J
! are settled, and we'll have tea to- j
] arether. Won't It be fun? And now,"
'as she gave the address to the girl, J
j "for the real business of the occa- j
sion."
] She Hits oil Just the Present For j
Warren
I "Yes, what do you suppose he'd 1
like?"
"I think I know jus the thing. How
would a smoking set do? Men always ,
like things like that, and I remember]
hearing Warren say once that he must
I get one."
Like a flash Helen remembered the
(many times Warren had actually ex
pressed a desire for one. That would |
j'be jus the thing. Besides giving him j
: a present, the gift itself would be ,
| something he approved of, something
! to be appreciated, not just something
to say "thank you" for and then for
get that he possessed the thing at all.
"Louise, you're a genius; really you
are. Do you know I have heard War- i
ren speak about that more times than I
i I could count, but I just couldn't re- I
member It at the right time!"
! "Bob has one. you know. I think
iit was over at our house one night
'.that I heard Warren say that he
wanted one Here we are! Well,
there are enough to choose from, any
way."
"Did you want one with a stand?
We have a splendid one over here
with a stand attached," volunteered
[the salesman as Helen poked curi
ously into the mysterious belongings
of the trays.
"This is a beauty, Helen. I like
the stand ones better, don't you?"
called Louise, who was examining the !
one that the salesman had designated ]
while he pointed out the many ad-'
vantages.
"Yes; you can send that one up," i
she said finally, after she had ex- \
claimed at its completeness and had ]
been assured that there wasn't anoth- j
er like It In the store.
"You're sure he'll like it, Louise?
I want him to like It better than any
present I have ever given him."
"My dear, I know he'll like It. I'm !
so sure that if he doesn't I'll be will
ing to buy It from you to give to
Bob. Bob's hasn't a stand, you know,
but it's practically new: so that's as
surance enough for you. Isn't it?"

ing series will appear hero soon.)
I THE LAST SHOT
By FREDERICK PALMER
19X4, by Charles Scrlbner'a Sana.
[Continued]
"Come on: .... is not made
that can get me! tuine on!" cried the
giant Eugene Aronson.
Nearly all felt the exhilaration of
movement In company. Then came
the sound that generations had drilled
for without hearing; the sound that
eummons the Imagination of man In
the thought of how he will feel and
act when he hears it; the sound that
Is everywhere lik" the song snatches
of bees driven whirling through the
air.
"That's It! We're under flre! We're
under flre!" flashed a crooked light
ning recognition of the sound through
every brain.
There was no sisn of the enemy:
no telling where the bullets came
from.
Whish-whish! Th-ipp-whing! The
refrain gripped Peterkin's imagination
with an unseen hand. He seemed to
be suffocating. Ho wanted to throw
htmeelf down and hold his hands in
front of his head. While Pilzer and
Aronson were not thinking, only run
ning, Peterkin was thinking with the
rapidity of a man '"ailing from a high
building. He v.-as certain only that
he was bound to strike ground.
"An inch is as good as a mile!" He
recollected the captain's teaching.
"Only one of a thousand bullet* flretf
In war ever kills a men' —but he was
certain that he had heard a million
already. He looked around to find
that he was still keeping up with Eu
gene and felt the thrill of the bravery
of fellowship at sight of the giant's
flushed, confident face reveling in the
spirit of a charge. And then. Just
then, Eugene convulsively threw up
his arms, dropped his rifle, and
whirled on his heel. As he went down
his hand clutched at his left breast
and came away red and dripping.
After one wild backward glance, Pe
terkin plunged ahead.
"Eugene!" Hugo Mallin had stopped
and bent over Eugene In the supreme
instinct of that terrible second, sup
porting his comrade's head.
"The bullet is not —made —" Eugene
whispered, the rulins passion strong
to the last. A flicker of the eyelids, a
gurgle in the throat, and he was dead.
"Here, you are not going to get out
this way!" Fracasse shouted, in the
irritation of haste, slapping Hugo with
his sword. "Go on! That's hospital
corps work."
Hugo had a glimpse of the captain's
rigid features and a last one of Eu
gene's, white and 6till and yet as if
he were about to speak his favorite
boast; then he hurried on, his side
glance showing other proserate forms.
One form a few yards away half rose
to call "Hospital!" and fell back,
struck mortally by a second bullet.
"That's what you get if you forget
instructions," said Fracasee with no
sense of brutality, only professional
exasperation. Keep down, you wound
ed men!" he shouted at the top of his
voice.
The colonel of the 128 th had not
looked for immediate resistance. He
had told Fracasse's men to occupy the
knoll expeditiously. But by the com
mon Impulse of military training, no
less than in answer to the whistle's
call, in face of the withering flre they
dropped to earth at the base of a
knoll, where Hugo threw himself
down at full length in his place in line
next to Peterkin.
"Fire polntblcnk at the crest in
front of you! I saw a couple of men
standing up there!" called Fracasse.
"Fire fast! That's the way to keep
down their Are—pointblanli, I tell you!
You're firing-into the sky! I want to
see more dust kicked up. Fire fast!
We'll have them out of there soon!
They're only an outpost."
Hugo was firing vaguely, like a man
In a dream. Pilzer was shooting to
kill. Hie eye had # the steely gleam
of his rifle sight and the liver patch
on his cheek was a deeper hue as he
sought to avenge Eugene's death.
Drowned by the racket of their own
Are, not even Peterkin was hearing
the whish-whish of the bullets from
Dellarme's company now. He did not
know that the blacksmith's son, who

tha fourth man from him, lay with
his chin on his rifle stock and a tiny
trickle of blood from a hole In his
forehead running down the bridge of
his nose.
SARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Young Dellarme, new to his cap
tain's rank, watching the plain
through his glasses, saw the move
ment of mounted officers to the rear
of the 128 th as a reason for summon
ing his men.
"Creep up! Don't show yourselves!
Creep up carefully—carefully!" he
kept repeating as they crawled for
ward on their stomachs. "And no one
is to fire until the command cornea."
Hugging the cover of the ridge of
fresh earth which they had thrown up
the previous night, they watched the
white posts. Stransky. who had been
rumlnatlvely silent all the morning,
was In his place, but he was not look
ing at the enemy. Cautiously, to avoid
a reprimand, he raided his head to en
able him to glance along the line. All
the faces seemed drawn and claylsh.
"They don't want to fight! They're
Just here because they're ordered here
and haven't the character to defy au
thority," he thoughi. "The leaven is
working! My tlmo Is coming!"
For Dellarme the minute had come
when all his training was to be put to
a test. The figures on the other side of
the white posts were rtoing. He was to
prove by the way he directed a com
pany of infantry in action whether or
not he was worthy of his captain's
rank. He smiled cheerily. In order
that he might watch how each man
used his rifle, he drew back of the line,
his slim body erect as be rested on
one knee, his head level with the
other heads while he fingered his
whistle. The instant that Eugene
Aronson sprang over the white post
a blast from the whistle began the
war.
It was a signal, too, for Stransky
to play the part he had planned; to
make the speech of hie life. His six
feet of stature shot to its feet with
a Jack-in-the-box abruptness, under
the impulse of a mighty and reckless
passion.
"Men, stop firing!" he howled thun
derously. "Stop firing on your broth
ers! Like you, they are only the
pawns of the ruling class, who keep
us all pawns in order that they may
have champagne and caviare. Com
rades, I'll lead you! Comrades, we'll
take a white flag aud go down to meet
our comrades and we'll find that they
think as we do! I'll lead you!"
The appeal was drowned in the
cracking of the rifles working as regu
larly as punching-machines in a fac
tory. Every soldier was seeing only
his sight and the running figures un
der It. Mechanically and automatical
ly, training had been projected into
action, anticipation into realization. A
spectator might as well have called to
a man in a hundred-yard dash to stop
running, to an oarsman in a race to
Jump out of his shell.
The company sergeant sprang foi
Stransky with an oath. But Stransky
was in no mood to submit. He felled
the sergeant with a blow and, reck
lessly defiant, stared at Dellarma
while the men, steadily filing, were
still oblivious of the scene. The ser
geant, stunned, rose to his knees and
reached for his revolver. Dellarme,
bent over to keep his head below the
j crest, had already drawn his as he
hastened toward them.
"Will you get down? Will you take
your place with your rifle?" demanded
Dellarme.
Stransky laughed thunderously lr
scorn. He was handsome, titanic, and
barbaric, with his huge shoulderi
stretching his blouse, which fell loose
ly around his narrow hips, while the
fist that had felled the sergeant wai
still clenched.
"No!" said Stransky. "You wonl
kill much If you kill me and you'd kill
less if you shot yourself! God Al
mighty! Do you think I'm afraid? Me
—afraid?"
His eyes In a bloodshot glare, a*
uncompromising as those of a bull In
an arena watching the next move ol
the red cape of the matador, regarded
Dellarme, who hesitated in admiration
of the picture of human force before
him. But the old sergeant, smarting
under the insult of the blow, his sand
stone features mottled with red
patches, had no compunctions of this
order. He was ready to act as execu>
tloner.
"If you don't want to shoot, I can!
An example—the law! There's nc
other way of dealing with him! Give
the word!" he said to Dellarme.
Stransky laughed, now in strident
cynicism. Dellarme still hesitated,
recollecting Lanstron's remark. He
pictured Stransky in a last stand In a
redoubt, and every soldier was ae
precious to him as a piece of gold tc
a miser.
"One ought to be enough to kill m«
If you're going to do It to slow music,"
•aid Stransky. "You might as well
kill me as the poor fools that yout
poor fools are trying to—"
Another breath finished the speech;
a breath released from a ball tha*
seemed to have come straight from
hell. The fire control officer of a regi
ment of Gray artillery on the plain,
paanning the landscape for the origin
of the rifle-flre which was leaving
many fallen in the wake of the charge
of the Gray Infantry, had seen a figure
on the knoll. "How kind! Thank
you!" his thought spoke faster than
words. No need of range-finding!
The range to every possible battery
or Infantry position around La Tlr
was already marked on his map. He
passed the word to his guns.
