tJtKjf a THE SEMI.WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. M 1 i i a 'J The Last Shot BT FREDERICK (Copyright, 1914. by Charles Scribnera Son) SYNOPSIS. i At their homo on the frontier between tho Drowns and Grays Maria Galland and her mother, entertaining Colonel Wester llnjr of the Grays, see Captain Lnnstron, tart Intclllcence odlcer of the Browns, Injured by a fall In his aeroplane. Ten roars later. Wostorllnjr, nominal vice but real chief of start, reinforces South La Tlr, meditates on war, and speculates on the comparative ages of himself and Mar tit, who Is visiting In the Gray capital. Westerllng calls on Marta. She tells him ef her teaching children the follies of war nd martial patriotism, begs him to pre vent war while ho Is chief of staff, and predicts that if he makes war against the Browns he will not win. On the march with tho 63d of the Browns Private Stran sky, anarchist, decries war and played out patriotism and Is placed under arrest. Colonel Lanstron overhearing, begs him off. Lnnstron calls on Marta at her home, tie talks with Keller, the gardener. Marta tells Lanstron that she believes Foller to e a spy. Lanstron confesses It is true. Lanstron shows Marta a telcphono which Feller has concealed In a secret passage under tho tower for use to boneflt the Browns In war emergencies. Lanstron de clares his love for Marta. Westerllng and the Gray premier plan to use a trivial In ternational affair to foment warlike pa triotism In army and people and strlkfl be fore declaring war. Partow, Brown chief of staff, and Lanstron, made vlco, discuss the trouble, and the Brown defenses. I'ar tow reveals his plans to Lanstron. Tho Gray army crosses the border lino and at- Kacks, The Browns check them. Artll ery, Infantry, aeroplanes and dirigibles engage. Stransky, rising to make tho anarchist speech of his life, draws tho Qray artillery fire. Nicked by a shrapnel pllntor he goes Bersork and lights "all a man." CHAPTER IX Continued. 1 But would one? Ho understood that with their smokeless powdor tho Qray guns could bo located only by their flashf-a, which would not bo vis ible unless the refraction of light wore favorable. Then "thur-oosh thur eeHh" abovo every other sound In a (long wall! No man over forgets the (first crack oi a shrapnel at close quar Iters, tho first bullet breath on his 'cheek, or the first supporting shell from his side In flight that passes istbovo him. "That Is ours!" called Dollarme. "Ours!" shouted tho sergeant. "Ours!" sang the thought of evory ono of them. Over tho Gray batteries on tho plain (an explosive ball of smoke hung in tthe still air; then anothor beside It. "Thur-oeah thur-ccsh thur-eosh," itbo screaming overhead becamo a galo ithat built n cloud of blue smoko over ,tho offending Gray battorleB boautU tful, soft bluo smoke from which a cpray of steel descended. Thero was no spotting tho flashes of the Drowna' guns In order to reply to them, for they wore under the covor of a hill, Esiug Indirect aim as nicely and nc urately as If firing polntblank. Tho Spinners of tho Gray batteries could pot go on with their work under such la hall-storm; thoy wore checkmated, fThey stopped firing and began movlnc xo a new position, whoro their com Jmandcr hoped to remain undiscovered long onough to support the 128th by Boosing his lightnings against tho do renders at the critical moment of tho bext chorgo, which would bo made as koon as Fracasse a men had been rein itorced. Thoru was an end to tho concus Blons and- tho thrashing of tho air round Dellarmo'a men, and they had the relief of a breaking abscess in the ear. Dut thoy becamo more conscious of tho spits of dust in front of their facos and the passing whistles of bul lets, irf return, thoy made the sec tions of Gray Infantry In rosorvo rush ing across the lovols, leave many gray lumps bohlnd, Dut Fracasse's jnen at tho foot of tho slopo poured In a heav ier and still heavier flro. "Down thoro's where wo need tho holla now!" spoko thq thought of Del larmo's men, which he hud anticipated by a word to tho slgnnl corporal, who (wavod his flag ono two throo four flvo times. Como on, now, with tnoro of your special brand of death, Ore-control ofllcerl Your own hond Is abovo tho sky-lino, though your gunB are hlddon. Flvo hundred yards be yond tho knoll Is tho rango! Come on! ' Ho came with a burst of screams so tow in flight that thoy seemed to fcjrush tho back of tho men's nocks iwlth a hair broom at tho rato of a thousand feet a second, Having watched tho result, Dollarmo turned with a confirmatory gesture, which tho corporal translated into tho wigwag of "Corroctl" Tho ahrapnol smoko (hanging over Fracasso's mon appeared a heavenly bluo to Dellarmo'a men. "Thoy aro going to start for us Soon I Oh, but we'll got a lot- of boml'V whUporod Stransky gloefully to his rlflo. Dollarmo glancod again toward tho colonel's station. No sign of tho ro tiring flag, Ho was glad of that. Ho jflld not want to fall back In faco of k chargo; to havo his men silhouetted In tho valloy as th'iy retreated. And jthe Grays would not enduro tills shower-bath long without going ono way or jthe other, Ho gave tho order to fix teayonota, and hardly was It oboyed when he saw flashes of stool through the shrapnel smoko as tho Grays fixed theirs. Tho Grays had 500 yards to to; the Browns had tho tlmo that It jUkoa running men to covor tho dls- tance in which to stop tho Grays. "MTo'll sniuii. mv nt tliatn whn hnn s m oyww -v - - '-- --- psq luck to get this farl" whlsporod PALMER Stransky to hia rlflo. Tho sontenco was spoken in tho midst of a salvo of shrapnel cracks, which ho did not hoar. Ho hoard nothing, thought noth ing, except to kill. Tho Gray batteries on tho plain, having taken up a new position and being reinforced, played on tho crost at top spocd Instantly tho Gray lino roso and started up tho slope at tho run. With tho purpose of confusing no less than killing, they used percus sion, which burst on striking tho ground, as well as shrapnel, which burst by a time-fuse In tho air. Foun tains of sod and dirt shot upward to meet descending sprays of bullets. Tho concussions of tho earth shook tho aim of Dellarmo's mon, blinded by smoke and dust, as thoy fired through a fog at bent figures whoso legs wcro pumping fast In dim pantomime. But tho guns of tho Browns, also, havo word that the chargo has begun. The signal corporal Is waiting for tho gesture from Dollarmo agreed upon as an announcement. The Brown artil lery commander cuts his fuses two hundrod and fifty yards shorter. He, too, uses percussion for moral effect. Half of tho dlstanco from tho foot to tho crest of tho knoll Fracasso's men havo gone in faco of tho hot, siz zling tornado of bullets, when thero Is a blast of explosions In their faces with all tho chaotic and lrreslstlblo force of a volcanic oruptlon. Not only aro they In tho midst of tho first lot of tho Browns shells at tho shorter rango, but ono Gray battery has either mado a mlstako in cutting its fuses or struck a streak of powder below stand ard, nnd its shells burst among thoso whom, it is aiming to assist. Tho ground seomo rising under tho feet of Fracasso's vcompany; tho afr is split and racked and wrenched and torn with hideous screams-of invisible demons. Tho men stop; thoy act on the uncontfollablo instinct of self-preservation against an overwhelming forco of nature". A few without the power of locomotion drop, faces pressed to tho ground. Tho rest 1190 toward a shoulder, of tho slopo through the Instinct that leads a hunted man In a street into an alloy. In a confusion of arms and legs, press ing one on the other, no longer sol diers, only a mob, thoy throw thorn solves bohlnd the first protection that offers Itself. Fracasse also runs. Ho runs from tho flumo of a furnaco door suddenly thrown open. Tho Gray batteries have ceased fir ing; cortain gunners' ears burn under tho words 6f Inquiry as to tho cause of tho mlstako from an artillery com mander. Dellarmo's men aro hugging tho earth too close to cheer. A deslro to spring up and yell may bo In their hearts, but they know tho danger of showing a single unnecessary inch of their cranlums abovo tho sky-lino. Tho sounds that oscapo their throats are thoso of a winning loam at n tug of war as diaphragms rolax. With tho smoko clearing, thoy see 20 or 30 Grays plastered on the slopo 'at tho point whoro the chargo was checked. Every one of, thoso prostrate forms Ib within fatal rango. Not ono movos a finger; ovon tho living aro feigning death In tho hopo of surviv ing. Among thom Is llttlo Poterkln, so faithful In forcing his refractory logs to koop paco with his comrades. If ho Ib nlwnyn up with them they will novor know what Is In his heart and call him a coward. As he has been knocked unconscious, ho has not been In tho poll-moll retroat. His first stabbing thought on coming to was mat ne must do uoau; uut, no; ho was opening his oyes sticky with dust. At least, ho must bo wounded! Ho had not powor yet to move his hnuda In ordor to fool whore, and whon thoy grow alive enough to movo, what ho saw in front of him hold them frigidly still. His nerves went search ing from his hoad to hlB feet and miracle of heaven! found no polot of pain or spot soppy with blood, If ho were really hit there was bound to bo one or tho other, ho knew from read ing. Between him and tho faces' of the Browns yes, tho actual, living, torrl bio Browns abovo tho glint of tholr rlflo barrols, was no obstacle that could stop a bullot, though not mcro than throo feet away was a crater made by a shell burst. Tho black cir cle of ovory muzzlo on tho crost soomod to bo pointing nt him. When woro thoy golug to shoot? When was ho to bo oxocuted? Would ho bo shot In many places and dlo thus? Or would tho very llrst bullot go through his head? Why didn't they lire? What wero thoy waiting for? Tho suspense was unbearable The desperation of overwhelming fear driving him In irre sponsible Impulse, ho doubled up his logs and with a cat's leap spraug 'for tho crato'r. A blood-curdling burst of whistles paBsed ovor his hoad as a dozen rlflos cracked, This timo ho wub surely killed! Ho was l.n some other world! Which was It, tho good or tho bad? Tho good, for ho had a glimpse of bluo sky. No, that could not bo, for ho had been nllvo when ho leaped for tho crator, and thoro ho was prossod I uKUWHh uiu eoii carui 01 11s uuiioni. Ho burrowed deeper blissfully. Ho against tho soft earth of Its bottom. waB tho nearest to tho enemy of any man of tho 128th, and bo certainly had passed through a gamut of emo tions In tho half-hour since Eugeno Aronson had leaped over a whlto post. "Confound ltl If wo'd kept on we'd havo got them! Now wo havo to do It all ovor again V growled Fracasse distractedly as ho looked around nt' tho faces hugging tho covor of tho shoulder faces asking, What noxt7 each In Us own way; faces blank and whlto; faces with lips working nnd eyes blinking; faces with tho blood rushing back to checks In baffled an ger. One, however, was half'smlllng Hugo Mallin's. "You did your sharo of the running, I'll warrant, Mallln!" said Fracasso excitedly, venting his disgust on a particular object. "Yos, sir," answered Hugo. "It was very hard to maintain a semblance of dignity. Yos, sir, I kept near you all tho tlmo. Wasn't that what you wanted me to do, sir?" Three or four men burst Into a hys terical laugh ub if something had bro ken In their throats. Everybody felt better for this touch of drollery except the captain. Yet, possibly, It may have helped him In recovering his polso. Sometimes even a pln-prlck will havo this effect. "Silence!" ho said in his old man ner. "I will glvo you something to Joko nbout other than a llttlo sotback like this! Get up thero with your rifles!" He formed tho nucleus of a flrlng llno under cover of tho shoulder, and then set the remainder of his com pany to work with their spades mak- Blood-Curdling Burst Passed Over His of Whistles Head. lng a trench. The second battalion of tho 128th, which faced tho knoll, was also digging at tho baso of tho slope, and another regiment in reserve was deploying on the plain. After tho fail ure to rush the knoll tho Gray com mander had settled down' to tho busi ness of a systematic approach. And what of those of Fracasso's men who had not run but had dropped In their tracks when the chargo halt ed? Thoy woro between two lines of flro. Thero was no escape. Some of tho wounded "had a morclfully quick end, others suffered the consciousness of being hit again and again; tho dead woro bored through with bullet holes. In torture, tho survivors prayed for death; for all had to dlo except Peter kin, tho pasty-faced llttlo valet's son. Fcterkln was qulto safe, hugging the bottom of tho Bhell crater under a swarm of hornets. Iry a surprisingly Bhort tlmo ho becamo accustomed to tho situation and found himself raven ously hungry, for tho strain of tho last 12 hours had burned up tissue. He took a biscuit out of hlB knapsack and began nibbling it, as becamo a truo rodent. CHAPTER X. Marta'o First Glimpse of War. Ab Marta and tho children came to tho door of the chapol after tho reci tation of tho oath, she saw tho civil population moving along the street in tho direction of the rango. Thero was nothing for Marta to do but start homeward. Tho thought that hor mother was alone made hor hasten at a pace much more rapid than tho pro cosslon of peoplo, whoso talk and ex clamatlono formed a monotono audi bio in Its nearness, despite tho continu ous rlfle-firo, now broken by tho pound ing of tho guns. "It's nil done to boat tho Grays, Isn't it, Miss Galland? They are trying to tako our land," Bald Jncky Worther as Marta parted from him. "Yes, It is done to beat tho Grays," sho answered. "Good luck, Jacky!" Yes, yes, to beat tho Grays! Tho Bnmo luca tne lighting nature, tho bruto naturo of man animated both sides. Had the Browns roally tried for peaco?' Had thoy, In tho spirit of hor oath, appealed to Justice and reason? Why hadn't their premier before all tho world eald to tho premier of tho Grays, ns ono honest, friendly neigh bor to another over a matter of dls puto; "Wo do not want war. We know you outnumber us, but wo know you would not tako advantage of that. If we aro wrong wo will mako amends; If you aro wrong wo know that you will. Lot iiB not play tricks In secret to gain points, wo civilized nations, but bo frank with each other. Lot us not try to Irrltato each other or to in fluence our peoplo, but to reallzo how much wo havo In common and that our only purposo Is common progress and happiness." At 'tho turn of tho road In front of tho castlo she saw tho gunners of tho battcrlos making an emplacement for tholr guns In a field of carrots that had not yot been harvested. Tho roots of goldon yellow woro mixed with tho tossing spadefuls of earth. A shadow like a groat cloud In mad flight shot ovor tho earth, nnd with tho gunners sho looked up to boo a Gray dirigible Already It was turning homeward; nlready it had gained Its object as a scout On tho fragile plat form of tho gondola was a man, seem ingly a human mlto aiming a tiny toy gun. His target wns one of the Brown aeroplanes. "They're In danger of cutting tholr own envolopo! Thoy can't get tho an glo! Tho plane is too high!" ox claimed tho artillery commandor. Both ho and his men forgot their work In watching tho spectacle of aerial David against aerial Goliath. "If our man landB with his llttlo bomb, oh, my!" he grinned. "That's why he Is so high. He's' been waiting up thero." "Pray God ho will!" exclaimed one of tho gunners. "Look at him volplane motor at full speed, tool" "Into It! Making sure! Oh, splen O!" cried tho artillery commander. A ball of lightning shot forth sheets of flame. Dirigible arid plane were hidden in an ugly swirl of yellowish smoke, rolling out into a purplo cloud that spread into prismatic mist over the descent of cavorting human bodies and broken machinery and twisted braces, flying pieces of tattered or burning cloth. David has taken Goliath down with him in a death grip An aeroplano following tho dirigible as a Bcreen, hoping to got homo with information if the dirigible wore lost, had escaped tho sharpshootors in the church tower by flying around tho town. However, It ran within range of the automatic and tho sharpshooters on top of tho castlo tower. Thoy failed of tho bull's-eye, but their bullets, rim ming tho target, crippling the motor, nnd cutting braces, brought tho crum pling wings about tho helpless pilot. Tho watching gunners uttered "Ahs!" of horror and triumph as thoy saw him fall, gliding this way and that, In the agony of slow descent. "Come, now!" called tho artillery commander. "Wo are wasting pre cious tlmo.". Entering tho grounds of tho Galland house, Marta had to pass to ono side of tho path, riow blocked by army wagons and engineers' materials and tools. Soldiers carrying sand-bags wero taking tho shortest cut, tram pllnc the flowers on their way. "Do you know whose property this is?" sho demanded in a burst of an ger. "Ours tho natlon'6!" answered One, perspiring freely at his work. "Sor ry!" ho added on second thought. Already parts of tho first terrace wero shoulder-high with sand-bagB and ono automatic bad been set in place, Marta observed as she turned to the veranda. Thero her mother sat in her favorite chair, hands relaxed as they rested on its arms, while she looked out over tho valley in tho supertran qulllty that comes to some women under a strain as soldiers who have beon on sieges can tell you that some psychologists Interpret ono way and some another, none knowing oven tholr own wives. "Marta, did any of tho children como?" Mrs. Galland asked In hor usual pleasant tone. So far as bIiq was concerned, tho activity on the terrace did not oxlBt. Sho seemed ob livious of tho fact of war. Marta's monosyllablo absently an sworlng tho question was expressive of her wonder nt her mother. Most girls do not know their mothers much better than psychologists know their wives. "Marta, whatever happens ono should go regularly about what he considers his duty," said Mrs. Galland. "They havo been as considerate as they could, evidently by Colonel Lan stron's orders," one proceeded, nod ding toward tho Industrious engineers. "And they've packed all tho paintings and works of art and put them in tho cellar, whoro thoy will bo safe." The captain of engineers in com mand, seeing Marta, hurried toward ber. "Miss Galland, Isn't It?"' ho asked. "I have been waiting for you. I I well, I found that I could not make tho situation clear to your mother." "Ho thinks mo In my second child hood or out of my head," Mrs. Galland explained with a shade of tartness. "And he has been so pollto In trying to conceal his opinion, too," she added with a comprehending smile. Tho captain flushed in embarrass ment. "I I can't speak too strongly," ho declared whon he had regained his composure. "Though everything seems to bo snfo here now, it may not bo In an hour. You must go, all of you. This houao will bo an inferno as soon as tho 63d falls back, and I can't pos sibly got your mother to appreclato the fact, Mian Galland." "But I said that I did appreclato it and that tho Gallands havo been In Infernos bofore porhaps not as bad as this ono that Is coming but, then, tho Gallands must keep abreast of tho times," ropllod Mrs. Galland. "I havo asked Minna and sho prefers to re main. I am glad of that. I am glad now that wo kopt her, Marta. Sho Is as loyal as my old maid and tho butler and the cook wero to your grand- mothor in tno last war. Ah,, the Gak lands had many servnntB theni" "This isn't llko tho old war. This placo will bo shollod, enfiladed 1 And you two " tho captain protested dee poratoly, "I becamo a Galland whon I mar riod," said Mrs. Galland, "and tho Galland women havo always remained with tholr property In tlmo of war. Naturally, I shall remain!" "MIbb Galland, It was you 7our In fluence I was counting on to" Tha captain turned to Marta in a final ap peal. Mrs. Galland was watching her daughter's faco intently. "Wo stay!" replied Marta, and tin captain saw In tho depths of her eyes, a cold blue-black, that further argu ment was useless. Now came tho sweep of a rising roai from tho sky with tho command to at tention of tho'ruBh of a fast express train past a country railway statloa Two Gray dirigibles with their escorl of aeroplanes were bearing toward the pass over tho pasB road. The auto matic and the riflemen In the towei banged away to no purpose, but the central sections of tho envelope of the rear dirigible had been torn in shreds; It was buckling. Clouds of bluo shrap nel smoke broko around Its gondola. A number of field-guns joined force! with a battery of high-angle guns in a havoc that left "a drifting derelict; the remainder of the equadron had com pleted its loop and was pointing toward the plain, From a great altitude, literally out of the bluo of heaven, high over the Gray lines, Marta mado out a Brown squadron of dirigibles and planes de scending across tho track of the Grays. Tho Gray dirigibles, stern on, were little larger than umbrellas and the planes than swallows; the Brown dirt sr1 She Looked Up to See a Gray Dirigible glbles, sldo on, were big sausages and their planes specks. To the eye, this meeting was like that of two small flocks of soaring birds apparently un able' to change their course. Bui Imagination could picture the fearful clash of forces, whoso wounded would find the succor of no hospital except Impact on the earth below. Marta put her hands over hor eyee. for only a second, she thought, before sho withdrew them In vexation hadn't she promised herself not to be cowardly? to see one Brown dirigible and two Brown aeroplanes ascending at a sharp angle above a cloud ol smoke to escapo tho high-angle guua of tho Grays. "Wo'vo got them all! No lips sur vivo to toll what tho oye saw!" ex claimed the engineer captain, his words (bubbling with tho Joy of watei In tho 'sunlight. "Aa I thought," he continued In professional enthusaism and discrimination. With high-power binoculars glued tc his oyes, he then turned to seo If the faint brown lino of Dellarmo'a men wero going to hold or break. If It held, he might havo hours In which to comploto his task; if it broke, he had only minutes. Marta came up tho terraco path from tho chrysanthemum bed in time to watch tho shroud of ehrapnel smoke billowing over tho knoll, to vlsuallzq another scene in place of the collision of the squadrons, and to noto the cap tain's exultation over Fracasse's re pulso. "How wo must havo punished them!" ho exclaimed to his lieutenant. "How wo must havo mowed them down! Lanstron certainly know what ho was doing." "You mean that ho know how we, should mow thom down?" naked Marta, Not until ehe spoko did ho reallzo that sho was standing near him. "Why, naturally! If wo badn'J mowed thom down hlB plan would havo failed. Mowing them down was tho only way to hold them back," he iiMWk Hi l.Xv i ' JWMHI II 1 KjfflS 1 wN masi Mr jLdinB& said; and seeing hor norror made haato to add: "Miss Galland, now yo know what a ghastly business war.ls, It will bo worse hero than there." "Yes," sho eald blankly. Her color less choeks, her drooping underllp con vinced him that now, -with a llttlo show of maBcullno authority, ho would gain his point. "You and your mothor must go!" ho said firmly. (TO BE CONTINUED.) S" SWISH BOWELS No sick headache, sour stomach, biliousness or constipation . by morning. Get a 10-cont box now.
