THE LAST SHOT By FREDERICK PALMER Copyright, IB 14, by Cbarlea Scribncr'a Suns. [Continued.] r "Oh!" Hti «..» opened wide In Wonder—only wonder, at first. Then, as comprehension took the place of ■wonder, they grew sympathetic. "That explains!" she exclaimed. "His hate ful glances were those of delusion. He iwas going mad, you mean?' "Yes," said Westerling, "that—that would explalqfit!" "I have been told that when people Bo mad they always ascribe every in jury done to them to the pterson who happens to have excited their dislike," she mused. j "Which seems to have been the case here," Westerling assented. He did not know what else to say. His pride iwas recovering its natural confidence In the infallibility of his judgment of human beings. He was seeing his sus picions as ridiculous enough to con vict him of a brain as disordered as (Bouchard's. Marta was thinking that she had Ibeen skating on very thin ice and Ithat she must go on skating till she (broke through. There was an exhila ration about it that she could not re islst: the exhilaration of risk and the ■control of her faculties, prompted by Ei purpose hypnotically compelling. 3oth were silent, she watching the Gky, he in anticipation and suspense, 'he rose went violet and the shadows lover the range deepened. "The guns and the troops wait. fWith darkness the music begins!" he isaid s&owly, with a start of stern |fervor. "The music—the music! He calls lit music!" ran through Marta's mind mockingly, but she did not open her Hips. "They wait, ready, every detail ar ranged," he continued proudly. The sky merged into the shadows of the landscape that spread and thick ened into blackness. Out of the drawn curtains of night broke an ugly flash and farther up the slope spread the explosive circle of light of a bursting shell. "The signal!" he exclaimed. Right and left the blasts spread along the Gray lines and right and left, on the instant, the Browns sent their blasts in reply. Countless tongues of flame seemed to burst from count less craters, and the range'to rock In a torment of crashes. In the inter vening space between the ugly, sav age gusts from the Gray gun mouths, which sent their shells from the midst ■of exploding Erown shells, swept the • 'beams of the Brown search-lights, their rays lost like sunlight In the vor tex of an open furnace door. "Splendid! splendid!" exclaimed "Westerling, in a sweep of emotion at the Bight that had been born of his command. "Five thousand guns on our side alone! The world has never Been the equal of this!" , Marta looked away from the range to his face, very distinct in the garish y illumination, it was the face of a maestro of war seeing all his rehear sals and all his labors come true in symphonic gratification to the eye and ear; the face of a man of trained mind, the product of civilization, with the elation of a party leader on the floor of a parliament in a crisis. "Soon, now!" said Westerling, and looked at his watt h. Shortly, In the direction of Engadir, to the rear of the steady flashes broke forth line after line of flashes as the long-range batteries, which so far had been silent, joined their might ier voices to the chorus, making a con tinuous leaping burst of explosions over the Brown positions, which were the real object of the attack. "The moment I've lived for!" ex claimed Westerling. "Our infantry is starting up the apron of Engadir! We held back the fire of the heavy guns concentrated for the purpose of sup porting the men with an outburst. Three hundred heavy guns pouring in itheir shells on a space of two acres! We're tearing their redoubts to pieces! ,They can't see to fire! They can't Jive under it! They're in the crater lof a volcano! When our infantry is ion the edge of the wreckage the guns Icease. Our Infantry crowd in—crowd (into the house that Partow built jHe'll find that numbers count; that Ithe power of modern gunfire will open (the way for Infantry in masses to take p.nd bold vital tactical positions! And r—no —no, their fire in reply is not as Btrong as I expected." "Because they are letting you In! lit will be strong enough In due sea son!" thought Marta In the uncontrol lable triumph of antagonism. Five (against three was in hie tone and in levery line of his features. DANDRUFF SOON RUINS THE HAIR Makes It Lifeless, Dull, Dry Brittle and Thin Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, flossy, silky hair, do by all means Ret rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much Rood to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to Ret rj,>of dandruff is to dis solve it, th<<fr you destroy it entirely. To do this, Ret about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at nißlit when retlrinß; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most. If not all, of your dandruff will be Rone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every einßle sißn and trace of it. You will find, too, that all Itchinß and dißginß of the scalp will stop, and your hair will be silky, Iluffy, lustrous, soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any driiß store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you hrive. This simple remedy never fails. tint menu THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 15, 1914. "It's hard for a soldier to leave a sight like this, but the real news will be awaiting me at my desk," he con cluded, adding, as he turned away: "It'a fireworks worth seeing, and If you remain here I will return to tell you the results." Turning her back to the range for the moment, she saw the twinkle of the lights cf the town and the threads of light of the wagon-trains and the sweep of the lights of the railroad trains on the plain; while in the fore ground window of the house was ablaze, like some factory on a busy night shift. She could hear the click of the telegraph instruments already reporting the details of the action as cheerfully as Brobdingnagian crickets in their peaceful surroundings. Then out of the shadows Westerling reap peared. "The apron of Engadlr is ours!" he called. "Thanks to you!" he added with pointed emphasis. Back in the house he had received congratula tions with a nod, as if success were a matter of course. Before her, ex ultation unbent stiffness, and he was hoarsely triumphant and eager. "It's plain sailing now," he went on. "A break in the main line! We have only to drive home the wedge, and then—and then!" he concluded. She felt him close, his breath on her cheek. "Peace!" she hastened to say, draw ing back instinctively. And then! The irony of the words in the light of her knowledge was pointed by a terrific renewal of the thunders and the flashes far up on the range, and she could not resist re joicing in her heart. "That's the Browns!" exclaimed Westerling in surprise. The volume of fire increased. With the rest of the frontier in darkness, the Engadir section was an isolated blaze. In its light she saw his fea tures, without alarm but hardening in dogged intensity. "They've awakened to what they have lost! They have been rushing up re serves and are making a counter attack. We must hold what we have gained, no matter what the cost!" His last sentence was spoken over his "houlder as he started for the house. Without changing her position, hardly turning her head, she watched until the firing began to lessen rap idly. Then she heard his step. She rose to face him, summoning back the spirit of the actress. "This is better yet! I came to tell you that the counter-attack failed!" he said as he saw her appear from the shelter of the arbor. She wondered if she were going to fall. But the post of the trellie was within reach. She caught hold of it to steady herself. Failed! "The killing—it must have been ter rible!" her mind at last made her ex claim to cover her tardiness of re sponse to his mood. "You thought of that—as you should —as I do!" he said. He took her hands in lite, pulsing warm with the flowing red of his strength. She let them remain life lessly, as if she had not the will to take them away, the instin t of her part again dominant. To hliu this was another victory, and it was discovery —the discovery of melting weakness in her for the first time, which magni fied his eense of masculine power. He tightened his grip slightly and she shuddered. "You are tired!" he said, and It hurt her that he should be so considerate. "The killing—to end that! It's all I want!" she breathed miserably. "And the end is near!" he said. "Yes, now, thanks to you!" Thanks to her! And she must lieten and submit to his touch! "Then engineers and material were ready to go in," he continued. "Be fore morning, as I had planned, we shall be so well fortified in the posi tion that nothing can budge us. This success so strengthens my power with the staff and the premier that I need not wait on Fabian tactice. I am supreme. I shall make the most of the demoralization of this blow to the enemy. I shall not wait on slow ap proaches in the hope of saving life. Tomorrow I shall attack and keep OD attacking till all the main line is ours." "Now you are playing your real part, the conqueror!" she thought gladly "Your kind of peace Is .he ruin of an other people; the peace of a helplesf enemy. That Is better"—better for hei conscience. Unwittingly, she allowed her hands to remain in his. In the pa ralysls of despair she was unconscious that she had hands. She felt that sin could endure anything to retrieve the error into which she had been the means of leading the Browns. And the killing—it would not stop, 6he knew. No, the Browns would not yield until they were decimated. "We have the numbers to spare. Numbers shall press home—home to terms In their capital!" Westerling's voice grew husky as he proceeded, harsh as orders to soldiers who hesi tated in face of fire. "After that—after that"—the tone changed from harsh ness to desire, which was still the de- Bire of possession—"the fruits of peace, a triumph that I want you to chare!" He was drawing hri toward him with an impulse of the force of this desire, when she broke free with an abrupt, struggling pull. "Not that! Not that! Your work Is not yet done!" ehe cried. He made a move as if to persist, then he fell back with a gesture of understanding:. [To Ho Continued] I'N'D Kit TAKE IIS ~ RUDOLPH K.
