They were approaching the spot
where he was to parachute down.
Feeling quickly to make sure his
pistol was ready in case farmer saw
him, he crouched in the narrow door

turning back a moment. he called.

cist warfare executing his grim and
well-planned purpose.
Then. as his finger closed on the
trigger, he sneezed. Shaking his
head, he aimed again. but another
sneeze shook the sight out of posi-
ton.
Swearing under his breath, he
blinked. and prepared to take his
aim again.
Im three people had dropped their
loads of wood and the man suddenly
began to run through the moonlit
field toward him.
Oberleutnant Schroeder squinted
into the sight, but his eyes were
blurred. and he sneezed. this time
more violently than before.
The human military machine had
been trained never to be aware OF
the phenomenon of nature, except
as battle-ground: therefore he did
not know what was disorganizing
the perfect balance of his attack. A
doctor could have told him that he
was standing in a field covered
thickly with ragweed.
But the doctors at the military
camp, with their usual inhuman
efficiency, had overlooked this one
weakness.
As the big Oberleutnant stood
there, crsing and sneezing. his eyes
streaming. the three people found 1t
easy to seize his pistol and start him
stumbling before them to the near
est telephone.

The rising moon slid from bank
of clouds. Illuminating clearly the
landscape below him. A deep blue
lake caught the silvezy rays. and
rippled them of into shadows. The
dark green plumes of forest spread
out on one side; on the other, bleak
fields extended as far as he could
see. No human being was in evi-

That made things simpler, he re-

deadly doll suspended from the
white mushroom of the parachute
The earth rushed up to meet him,
and the wind dragged him several
hundred feet through the dusty
weeds before he could deflate the
folds.
Extricating himself, he stood up
and looked around. A column of
smoke rising over the trees some dis
tance away told him that people
were living in this section. lingering
his revolver, he started for the trees,
in order to strip of his overalls and
cache them with the parachute. In a
few minutes he would emerge, osten-
sibly a citizen of this country which
he had been taught to hate since
childhood.
As he approached the edge of the
forest, a burst of laughter warned
him that people were near. He
dropped the parachute and stood
still, releasing the catch of the pistol
with automatic precision. This time
there must Be no psistakes.
As he paused there, three people

full of umderbrush. An old woman
and a young couple, evidently on
the way home, with firewood for
cooking their meal.
The laughter fingered on their
faces a second when they saw him.
Then the heightening light of the
moon glinted on the revolver, and
they saw the parachute. Immediate
