No word was spoken on either side, the journey being undertaken in grim silence.

Montreal Witness: Expansion is a, word with a meaning other than what what has been given to it rinoe the United States entered upon the poli- cy of foreign conquest. An idea. elf the expansion of the trade of the republic may be gathered from the official statement that since the beginning of the current fiscal year, July 1,1898. the exports of United Sates manufactures to foreign countries amounted to an average value of nearly one million dollars per day. A nation doing a foreign trade in manufactures alone ‘ of such an enormous amount as this should surely not be afraid of its hm market being captured. by Canadian, or, for that matter, by anybody elle. It is pleasing, however, to observe this expansion, because along with expan- sion of territory must come sooner or later expansion of ideas in accord with expanded relponsihilitieo, and burst the cuddling clothes of restrictive tariffs. Expansion and protection are incompat- ible and irreconcilable. Either the one mewillbeatr ortheotherex- loded in the nited States before King.

Then, a little t’me later, Armand came up with a gay smile upon his face. “The problem is not yet solved, Co'onel," responded the French com- mander. “Let them form part of the stake we were playing .for when we were so strangely interrupted two hours ago.” V ' The German saluted grimly.

A rousing cheer went up as tha last block of brick- 'work was rolled aside, and then there staggered from the tunnel four score of men, grim and. pallid, and gasping in the pure air of the afternoon. There was nothing for it now but‘ to bring out the trains, which was dole acggrtjingly. “Whoui 'do they belo'ng to I” asked the German loader. The scene which followed was not the least strange incident of that mar- vellous campaign. Amongst the wreckage at the mouth of. the tunnel, hundreds of French and German troops Worked side by side. From either set of rails their respective offi- cers watched them in silence. Up the slopes_ the nuns were piled. ates, later, and a hurried conference between the leaders at both forces had Lakeu place. At the unexpected spectacle of a French and Prussian officer standing amicably side by side, and waving miniature flags of truce, the firing ceased. Then, by mutual consentArâ€" mand and the Germn remectively re- turned to their own lines. A few min- A brisk run of twenty minutes brought the quartette on the scene of action. A miniature pitched battle be- tween a Prussian regiment, hurried up by General Deganfield, and a cloud otV Francs-tireurs was in full blast. Ar- mand ran forward to an eminence, and waved aloft his handkerchief, which he had tied to his sword. The German lieutenant followed his example. ‘ A risky jump of some fifteen feet, on the snow frozen as hard asgranite, made a fitting termination to the haz- ardous side of the advanture. The volatile Armand burst out laughing as be surveyed his companions. A “Did ever one- see four such disreput- able scarecrows ?" he Cried. “Still, we can afford to smile at our misfortunes now. Forward, mes amis." Armand turned away bitterly'morti- fled. The truth struck like a. whip- lash. Ere he could think of a. suitable reply, the boom of a gun, followed by the quick rattle of musketry fire, smote on the ear. Evidently, sharp work was in prcgrms down in the valley towards Jo':nville. "It is the way we have beaten you all along ,” he said. “We. know every- thing, and you know nothing â€"exoept how to fight. ” Armand swore volubly. Then annoy- ance took the place of anger, and the German reached up and lifted the cen- ter of the grill.

The nature of this call was first dealt with. The christian saintahip is a call to separation to Gnl. a call to personal holiness and a call to help- fulness to others; the first phase in;- vofves one's relation to God, the second, his relation to himself, the third, his relation to his fellm.
