THE LAST SHOT

[Continued.]
Then a staff-officer appeared In the
doorway. When be saw a woman en
ter the room he frowned. He had rid
den from the towg, wJilch was empty
of women, a fact that he regarded as
a blessing. If she had been a maid
servant he would have kept on his
cap. Seeing t£at she was not, he re
moved it and found himself in want ai
words as their tiyes met after she hat
made a gesture to the broken glass
on the floor and the lacerated table
top, which s»id too plainly:
"Do you admire your work?"
The fact that be was well groomed
and freshly shaven did not in any wise
dissipate In her feminine mind his
connection with this destruction. He
had never seen anything like the smile
which went with the gesture. Her
eyes were two continuing and chal
lenging flames. Her chin was held
high and steady, and the pallor of ex
haustion, with the blackness of her
hair and eyes, made her strangely
commanding. He understood that she
was not waiting for him to speak, but
to go.
"I did not know that there was a
woman here!" he said.
"And I did not know that officers of
the Grays were accustomed to enter
private houses without lnvitatiops!"
she replied.
"This is a little different," he began.
She interrupted him.
"But the law of the Grays is that
Ibomes should be left undisturbed, isn't
it? At least, It Is the law of civiliza
tion. I believe you profess, too, to pro
tect property, do you not?"
"Why, yes!" he agreed. He wished
that he could get a little respite from
the steady fire of her eyes. It was em
barrassing and as confusing as the
white light of an Impracticable logic.
"In that case, please place a guard
around our house lest some more of
your soldiers get out of control," she
went on.
"I can do that, yes," he said. "But
*-e are to make this a staff headquar
ters and must start at once to put the
aouse in readiness."
"General Westerling's headquar
ters?" she inquired.
He parried the question with a
'rown. Staff-officers never give Infor
mation. . They receive information and
transmit orders.
"I know General Westerling. You
will tell him that my mother, Mrs. Gal
land, and our maid and myself are
very tired from the entertainment he
has given us, unasked, and we need
sleep to-night. So you will leave us
until morning and that door, sir, is the
one out into the grounds."
The staff-officer bowed and went ont
by that door, glad to get away from
Marta's eyes. Hie inspection of the
premises with a view to plans for staff
accommodation could wait. Wester
ling would not be here for two days
at leaet.
"Whew! What energy she hast" he
thought. "I never had anybody make
me feel so contemptibly unlike a gen
tleman in my life."
Yet Marta, returning to the hall, bad
to steady herself in a dizzy moment
against the wall. Complete reaction
had come. She craved sleep as if it
were the cne true, real thing in the
*orld. She craved sleep for the clarity
of mind that comes with the morning
light. In the haziness of fleecy thought,
as slumber drew its soft clouds
around her, her last conscious visions
were the pleasant oqes rising free of
a background of horror; of Feller's
smile when he went back to his auto
matic for good; of Dellarme's smile as
he was dying; of Stransky's smile as
Minna gave him hope; and of Hugo's
face as he uttered his flute-like cry of
protest. In her ears were the haunt
ing calmness and contained force of
Laratron's voice over ths telephone.
She waa pleased to think that she had
cot lost her temper in her talk with
the staff-officer. No, she had not flared
once in indignation. It was as if She
had absorbed some of Lanny's own
self-control. Lapny would approve of
her in that scene with an officer of the
Grays. And she realized that a change
had come over her —a change inex
plicable and she was
tired—oh, so tired! It had been ex
hausting work, indeed, for one woman,
though she had been around the world,
making war on two armies.
The general staff-officer of the Grays,
who had tasted Marta's temper on his
first call, when he returned the next
morning did not enter unannounced.
He rang the door-bell.
"I have a message for you from Gen
eral Westerling," he said to her. "The
general expresses his deep regret at
the unavoidable damage to your house
and grounds and has directed that
everything possible be done immedi
ately in the way of repairs."
In proof of this the officer called at
tention to a group of service-corps
men who were removing the sand-bags
from the first terrace. Others were
at work in the garden setting uprooted
plants back Into the earth.
"His Excellency says," continued
the officer, "that, although the house
is so admirably suited for staff pur
poses, we will find another if you de
sire."
He was too polite and too consld'
erate in his attitude for Marta not to
meet him in the same spirit.
"That is what we should naturally
prefer," and Marta bowed her head in
Indecision. .
"We should have to begin Installing
the telegraph and telephone service on
the lower floor at once," he remarked.
"In fact, all arrangements must be
made before the general'* arrival."
"He has been a guest here before,"
■he said remlnlscently and detachedly.
Her head dropped lower, In appar
ent disregard of hie presence, a« ehe
took counsel with herself. She waß
perfectly still, without even the move
ment of an eye-lash. Other consldera-
Hons than any he might suggest, he
subtly understood, held her attention.
They were the criterion by which she
would at length assent or dissent, and
nothing could hurry the Marta of to
day, who yesterday had been a
creature of feverish impulse.
It seemed a long time that he was
watching that wonderful profile under
the very black balr, soft with the soft
ness of flesh, yet flrmly carved. She
lifted her head gradually, her eyes
sweeping past the spot where Del
larme had lain dyiug, where Feller
had manned the automatic, where
Stransky had thrown Pllzer over the
parapet. He saw the glance arrested
and focussed on the flag of the Grays,
which was floating from a stall on the
outskirts of the town, and slowly,
glowingly, the light rippling on its
folds was reflected in her faoe.
"She U for us! She is a Gray!" he
thought triumphantly. The woman
and the flag! The matter-of-fact staff
offlcer felt the thrill of sentiment
"I think we can arrange It," Marta
announced with a rare smile of assent
"Then I'll go back to town and set
the signal-corps men to work," he
said.
"And when you come you will find
the house at your disposal," she as
sured him.
Except that he was raising his cap
instead of saluting, he was conscious
of withdrawing with the deference due
to a superior.
In place of the smile, after he had
gone, came a frown and a look in her
eyes as if at something revolting;
then the smile returned, to be suc
ceeded by the frown, which was fol
lowed by an indeterminate shaking of
*he head.
CHAPTER XIV.
Tea on the Veranda Again.
It was more irritating than ever for
Mrs. Galland to keep pace with her
daughter's inconsistencies. Here was
Marta saying coolly:
" 'Unto Caesar the things that are
Caesar's!' We have our property, our
home to protect. Perhaps the Grays
have, come to stay for good, so
graclousness is our only weapon. We
cannot fight a whole army single
handed."
"You have found that out, Marta?"
said Mrs. Galland.
"We 1 have four rooms In the baron's
tower and a kitchen stove," Marta pro
ceeded. "With Minna we csn make
ourselves very comfortable and leave
the house to the etaff."
"The Gallands In their gardener's
quarters! The staff of the Grays in
ours! Your father will turn in his
grave!" Mrs. Galland exclaimed.
"But mother, it is not quite agree
able to think of three women living
in the same bouse with a score of
strange men!" Marta persisted.
"I had not thought of that, Marta.
Of course, it would be abominable!"
agreed Mrs. Galjand, promptly capitu
lating where a point of propriety was
involved.
When Marta Informed the officer —
the same one who had rung the door
bell on his second visit—of the family's
decision he appeared shocked at the
idea of eviction that was implied. But,
secretly pleased at the turn of events,
he hastened to apologize for war's
brutal necessities, and Marta's com
plaisance led him to consider himself
something of a diplomatist. Yes, more
than ever he was convinced of the
wisdom of an Invader ringing door
bells.
Meanwhile, the service-corps men
had continued their work until now
there was no vestige of war In the
grounds that labor could obliterate;
and masons had come to repair the
walls of the house Itself and plasterers
to renew the-broken ceilings.
» All this Marta regarded In a kind
of charmed wonder that an invader
could be so considerate. Her manner
with the officers in charge of prepara
tions had the simplicity and ease
which a woman of twenty-seven, who
is not old-maidleh because she is not
afraid of a single future, may employ
as a serene hostess. She frequently
asked if there were good news.
"Yes," was the uniform reply. An
unexpected setback here or resistance
there, but progress, nevertheless. But
she learned, too, that the first two
days' fighting along the frontier had
cost the Grays fifty thousand casual
ties.
"In order to make an omelet you
must break eggs!" she remarked.
"Spoken like a true soldier—like a
member of the staff!" was the reply.
In her constraint and detachment
they realized her conscious apprecia
tion of the fact that in earlier times
her people had been for the Browns;
but In her flashes of interest in the
progress of the war, flashes from a
woman's unmilitary mind, they judged
that her heart was with the Grays. And
why not? Was It not natural that a
■woman with more than her share of
intellectual perception should be on
the right side? From her associations
It was not to be expected that she
would make an outright declaration of
apostasy. This would destroy the value
and the attractiveness of her conver
sion. Reverence for the past, for a
father who had fought for the Browne,
against her own convictions, made her
attitude appear Blngularly and deli
cately correct.
