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.
