It was a name this time.

"Bauer! By God, Bauer!" he cried.
In an instant he was across the path and by the trees.

The assassin fired again, but now he missed.

We saw the great sword flash high above Bernenstein's head and heard it whistle through the air.

It crashed on the crown of Bauer's head, and he fell like a log to the ground with his skull split.
