SECOND SECTION FRIDAY EVENING, i PAGES 11 TO 20 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 2, 1914. f_ THE LAST SHOT By FREDERICK PALMER Cvpyrlglit, lUI4, by Übmileu Scrlbaer'a Sons. [Continued.] .##" The war was a week old —a week pwhich had developed other tangents And traps than La Tir—on the morn iing that the first installment of junior (officers came to occupy the tables and kleaks. Where the family portraits had bung in the dining-room were now big maps dotted with brown and gray flatfs. Portable field cabinets with ■actional maps on a large scale were Eanged around the walls of the draw -room. In what had been the loung -room of the old days of Ualland Sirosperity, the refrain of half a dozen etograph instruments made medley yith the clicking of typewriters. Cooks End helpers were busy in the kitchen; or the staff were to lire like gentle- Bnen; they were to have their morning 'bathß, their comfortable beds, and iregular meals. No twinge of lndlges ftion or of rheumatism from exposure wae to Interfere with the working of jtheir precious intellectual processes. (No detail of assistance would be lack ing to save any bureaucratic head time land labor. The bedrooms were appor tioned according to rank—that of the (master awaited the master; the best servant's bedroom awaited Francois, Ibis valet. When Bouchard, the chief of intelll |genoe, who fought the battle of wits jand spies against Lanstron, came, two hours before Westerling was due, the 'last of the staff except Westerling and (his personal aide had arrived. Bouch ard, with his iron-gray hair, bushy eye brows, strong, aquiline nose, and jhawk-llke eyes, his mouth hidden by ta bristly mustache, wan lean and sat furnine, and he was loyal. No jealous (thought entered his mind at having to kerve a man younger than himself. |He did not serve a personality; he laerved a chief of staff and a protes- |alon. The score of words which es caped him as he looked ovef the ar rangements were all of directing criti cism and bitten off sharply, as If he regretted that he had to waste breath In communicating even a thought. "I tell nothing, but you tell me [everything!" said Bouchard's hawk ieyes. He was old-fashioned; he looked (his part, .which was one of the many Ipolnta of difference between him and iLanstron as a chief of intelligence. It lacked one minute to four when (Hedworth Weaterling, chief of staff In name as well as power now, alighted Ifrom the gray automobile that turned jln at the Oalland drive. His Excel lency had not occupied hie new head quarters as soon as he expected, but (this could have no influence on results. (If he had lost fifty thousand men on the first two days and two hundred jthousand since Mie war had begun, ufhould he allow this to disturb his [well-being of body or mind? His well ibelng of body and mind meant the ulti mate saving of lives. Confidence was reflected In Wester fling's bearing and in his smile of com (mand as he passed through the staff rooms, Turcas and Bouchard in his (train, with tacit approval of the ar rangements. Finally, Turcas, now vi<>e chief of staff, and the other chiefs lawalted his pleasure in the library, (which wae to be his sanctum. On the massive seventeenth-century desk lay ,B number of reports and suggestions. (Weeterllng ran through them with ac icustomed swiftness of sifting and then (turned to his personal aide. "Tell Francois that I will have tea ton the veranda." From the fact that he took with him the papers that he had laid aeide, sub ordinate generals, with the gift of un •spoken directions which is a part of their profession, understood that he meant to go over the subjects requir ing special attention while he had tea. "Everything Is going well—well!" be added. "Well!" ran the unspoken communi cation of confidence through the staff. So well that His Excellency was calmly taking tea on the veranda! For the Indefatigable Turcas the detail; for Westerllng the front of Jove. He had told Marta only two weeks ago that be should see her again If war came; and war had come. Wltb the lnv|ting prospect of a few holiday momentß In which to continue the In terview that had been abruptly cor eluded In a hotel reception-room, he started down the terrace steps. Above the second terrace he saw a crown of HE DARK HAIR MID LOOK YOUNG Nobody can Tell when you Darken Gray. Faded Hair with Sage Tea Grandmother kept her hair beauti fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sane Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on 'J that dull, faded or streaked appear unce, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you w 111 get a largo bottle of this old-timo recipe, ready to use, for about 60 cents. Tills simple mixture can be depended upon 1o restore natural color and beauty to the hair and Is splendid for dand ruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so nat-1 urally and evenly that nobody can tell It has been applied—lt's so easy to ' use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it Is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant.—Ad vertisement. woman's hail—hair of jet abundance, shading a face that brought familiar completeness to the scene. Their glances met where the path ended at the second terrace flight; hers shot with a beam of restrained and ques tioning good humor that spoke at least a truce to the Invader. "You called sooner than I expected," she eald in a note of equivocal pleas antry. "Or I," he rejoined with a shade of triumph, the politest of triumph. He was a step above her, her head on a lev.? with the pocket of his blouse. His square shoulders, commanding height, and military erectness were thus emphasized, as was her own femi nine slightnees. "I want to thank you," she said. "A 8 becomes a soldier, your forethought was expressed in action. It wa* the promptness of the men you sent to look after the garden which saved the uprooted plants before they were past recovery." "I wished it for your sake and some what for my own sake to be the same that it was in the days when I used to call," he said graciously. "Tea was from four to five, do you remember? Will you join me? I have just ordered it." A generous, pleasant conqueror, this! No one knew better than Wester ling how to be one when he chose. He was something of an actor. Leaders of men of his type usually are. "Why, yes. Very gladly!" she as sented with no undue cordiality and no undue constraint, quite as if there •were no war. Neutrality could not be better Im personated, he thought, than in the even cleaving of her lip* orver the words. They seemed to say that a Storm had come and gone and a new set of masters had taken the place of the old. As they approached the veranda Francois was placing the tea thiags. "Just like the old days, Isn't it?" he exclaimed with his first sip, convinced that the officers' commissary supplied >exoellent tea in the field. "Yes, for the moment'—lf we forget the war!" she replied, and looked away, preoccupied, toward the land scape. If we forget the war! She bore on the words rather grimly. The change that he had noted between the Marta of the hotel reception-room and the Marta of the moment was not alto gether the work of ten years. It had developed since she was In the capi tal. In these three weeks war had been brought to her door. She had "been under heavy fire. Yet this sub ject of the war was the one which he, as an invader, considered himself bound to avoid. "We do forget it at tea. donl we?" he asked. "At least we need not speak of It!** ehe replied. "I am staying tonight. I was going to ask If you wouldn't remain on the veranda while I go over these pa pers. It—it would be very cozy and pleasant." "Why, yes," Bhe agreed with evMent pleasure. Turcas came, In answer to Wester ling's ring. The orders and sugges tions on the table seemed to be the product of this lath of a man, the vice chief, but a lath of steel, not wood, who appeared a runner trained for a race of Intellects in the scratch class. One by one, almost perfunctoHJy, Westerllng gave his assent as he passed the papers to Turcas; while Turcas's dry voice, coming from be tween a narrow opening of the thin, lips, gave his reasons with a rapid flrer's precision in answer to his chief's inquiries. With each order somewhere along that frontier some unit of a great or ganism would respond. The reserves from this position would be trans ferred to that; such a position would be felt out before dark by a reconnois sancs In force, however costly; the rapid-flrers of the 19th Division would be transferred to the 20th; despite the 87th Brigade's losses, it would still form the advance; General Boand-3o would be superseded after his failure of yesterday; Colonel So-and-So would take his place as acting major-general; more care must be exercised In recom mendations for bronze crosses, lest their value so depreciate that officers and men would lack incentive to win them. Marta was having a look behind the scenes at the fountainhead of great eventH. Power! power! The abso lute power of the soldier In the saddle, with premier and government and all the Institutions of peace only a dim background for the processes of war! Opposite her was a man who could make and unmake not only generals but even the destinies of peoples. By every sign he enjoyed his power for its own sake. There must be a chief of the live millions, which were as a moving forest of destruction, and here was the chief, his strength .reflected in the strong muscles of his short neck as he turned his head to listen to Turcas. Marta recalled the con trast between Westerllng and Lan- Btron as they faced each other after the wreck of the aeroplane ten years ago; the Iron Invincibility of the elder's sturdy, mature figure and the alert, high-strung Invincibility of the slighter figure of Younger man. fTo Ho Continued] HEAD or PAIVA FIRKWORKS PI,A\T Kii.l.rcn I\ I:VPI.OXION Chicago, 111., Oct. 2. -- 11.

The Young Find Lamed's History Fascinating !An Astonishing Interest Dis ! played by the Children of This City in a Great Historical Work I We were told by competent critics when we first undertook the distri bution of J.arned's History of tho ' World In tills city that we would find I ih< children among its most entliusi | astlc admirers. We find this prediction I lias come true. Hundreds of boys and ! Klrls. even as young as ten years, have | been among the crowds thronging our ottice daily, and have carried off their I treasure with exclamations of delight. | Their still smaller brothers and sis- i ters pore over the illustrations by the hour. The reproductions of famous historical paintings in actual colors I have an absorbing interest. The nu ! inerous halftones with which the five volumes are embellished likewise afford endless fascination. No work of its kind has ever been so widely and beautifully illustrated. But the iext is also a feature enjoyed by the young, since It is written in a style that is clarity itself, and easily under stood and retained by the youthful mind. We do not hesitate to say that it. a real duty of the parents of this ; community to give their children a ! work that will inculcate a never-dying thirst for knowledw, and impart a taste for information of a kind that is bound to influence their whole lives for the best and worthiest tilings. The coupons printed daily In Ibis paper will, we believe, exert an incalculable effect on the future generations of this city and other places where this paper circulates. They shoukl be clipped at j once, as the advantage they offer will , probably not be obtainable much ■ longer. Minister For Half Century Dies at Hagerstown, Md. llagerstown, Md., Oct. 2. —The Rev. J.
