A Death
Shadow
By F. A. MITCHEL
An officer of the Belgian nrmy was
lummoiitti before the king. Tlu»y were
In Flanders, ami the Belgians consti
tuted the (lp of the left wing of the
allied army.
"Captain," said the king. "I wish you
to carry a message to the commander
of the nearest British troops south of
us. Go on foot and on the beach. The
distance Is short, but is full of danger.
You will be as safe on the edge of the
water as anywhere. We are not In
touch with our allies, but there is no
fear of any force pushing luto the gap
for our rear li defended by the chan
nel. l'our danger will come simply
from any reconnoitering or other small
force that you may happen to meet."
The captain took the message, rolled
In a ball the size of a small pill, put it
In the lining of his bat, saluted and de
parted. The hour was dusk. In the
eastern sky was a moon in tho first
quarter. The beach was broad, and
the officer walked midway between tho
line of foam and the dunes.
Was that his shadow down at his left
and a trifle In advance of him? No.
A shadow must lie in a line with the
light Interrupted. This one formed an
obtuse angle with his body and the
moon.
Was It a shadow? It was so faint
that he could not tell.
There was a moaning sound to the
waves that were washing over n bar
not far from the shore. The wind was
chilly, and the captain felt a corre
sponding chill in bis heart rie did
not like that dark spot or shadow or
whatever it was. lie looked down on
the bard sand to bis left It was there,
barely distinguishable, but surely there.
He looked up at the moou. The dark
•pot surely could not be made by the
moon, for It would lie behind him,
whereas this was slightly in front of
him. Hfr looked at the planet Ven- s
and saw that it was covered at the
time by a haze. He cast his eyes again
down at his feet, hoping that the dark
spot had disappeared. It was still
there.
To the south were the lights of a
camp; how far he could not tell. That
camp was bis goaL He wished him
self safely there. At night one cannot
readily measure distances, and he could
not tell whether the lights were far or
near. He longed to reach them' to es
cape that intolerable loneliness which
weighed npon him.
He knew that at any moment he
might receive a shot in the back or
from the front If it came It would j
come from the dunes on his left, not 1
from the water. He cast occasional
glances in the former direction, turn
ing his head to the rear to see If he [
was followed. He thought he saw a
dark something like the figure of a
man against the sky line behind hltn.
If it was a man he was soon in hiding,
for it passed into the dark dune.
He edged dowu to the verge of the
water and walked almost In the .foam.
