France. What he thought about it
he never told anybody, but he must
have noticed that it had suddenly
become a strange land.
And so He Shot Fritz.
Francois Hardouin went home.
The radio was turned out. As he
entered the front door he heard the
fearful tidings.
so, it's war, eh?" he said. And
he took down the old family shot
gun from the mantelpiece He walked
back onto the bridge and this time
past the barrier. Fritz was still
seated on the rock by the CUSTOM
house looking at nothing.
Our countries are at war" an
nounced Francois. And I've been
waiting for this moment a long
time" He emptied both barrels into
the body of Fritz, who was dead long
before Francois got back to the
French side. The German, if he had
time to think of the matter at all,
probably thought that he was just
the victim of simple murder in
stead of the first casualty in a
glorious war.

Emile Is She'll Shocked.
The command post of his unit was
only few miles from the hospital
where they brought young Emile
Marie Legrande.
Emile's case was diagnosed as
shell shock, and as such it was
nothing very new to the gray
bearded psychiatrist in whose care
he was placed. What had shocked
him, however, was something of
puzzle and it remained so long after
he had been taken down from the
front to the pleasant surroundings
of Vittel.
He was completely out of his head.
He washed his hands continuously
rubbed them together when he could
find no water-and he kept his eyes
shielded with his right forearm as
if to shut out some horrible sight.
His case history showed that he
had been on an inactive sector, that

he had never even heard a shell nor
been subjected to enemy fire. He
had never shown any signs Of
mental arrangement before. He was
Of good healthy stock, we'll educated,

commanding officer had appended
note to the doctors report saying
that he had always been normal in
all things-kind, gentle, sensitive
and an extremely valuable officer.
Gets 1t Off His Mind.
None of this data gave any clue
to the alteration that he was now
displaying, and even in apparently
lucid moments he would not talk to
any one. He called for priest, then
shrank from him in fright. He
took off his uniform and said he
wasn't going to wear it any more.
He became quieter but no less
wretched when they put him in
dungarees. Save for acute melan-
cholia he showed no symptoms of
madness. The alienists took re-
Straints off him and let him wan
der about the grounds of the old
casino as he pleased.
That is why there was nobody to
stop him when, after many days, he
walked into the convaleScentS' rec
reation room. He stood at the door
and looked at the wounded soldiers
and they looked silently back at
him

ing like good morning" and Merry
Neighbors of the Hardouins in the
village on the French side said
Francois used to go berserk when
ever the name of the Fuehrer was
mentioned. There's little out of the
ordinary in that, except that he
seems to have done it sooner than
the rest of the world.
In those tranquil days when Eng
land had all the fine PHILOSOPHERS
and Germany had all the airplanes,
border restrictions weren't very Sc
vere-especially as they were ap-
piled to functionaries. French GUS
Tins agents could walk across the
bridge unmolested and drink beer
with their colleagues in Germany,
and vice versa. They were also at
liberty to argue and fight with their
colleagues. But nothing came of
this social intercourse until the Sd
of September.
Became a Lieutenant.
Later, when FRANCOIS was neu-
tenant in a bakery unit stationed
not far from his old customs post.
he would recall the events of that
morning. He was less disturbed
about it than other folks in France.
It had vindicated his own high
opinion of himself 1t had identi-
fed HMM his own mind-with
sundry figures of history. And as
for Fritz well, Fritz may have
been his friend once He would
admit that. But friendship had
died many months before September
3, 1899, and he had no regrets for
Fritz.
On the morning of September 3
he had some occasion to go out to
the barrier, and as luck would have
it Fritz had come out on some
similar errand. The two, we'll aware
of what was happening on the bor-
ders of Poland and in London and
in Paris and in Berlin, looked at
each other in the ultimate ex-
tension of hatred. Francois was so
completely overcome with emotion
that he could scarcely walk home.
Fritz didn't bother to walk home.
He shuff1ed slowly to rock in the
shade of the customhouse at his
own end of the bridge. There he
sat down and looked across at

Before you close the record of the

those brief careers as warriors may
,ne day be set forth in a puzziing
Iootnote in somebody's book on the
psychology of battles.
They were both, so far as the
military diagnosis goes, good soldiers
pf the republic. The difference be-
tween them was only that Francois
had an abiding hate and Emile didn't
hate anybody. That is why they

He was an officer in reserve, not yet
