"You are nothing of the sort !" re- sented the widow indignantly. "You're the best man I ever met." "You think that, do you?" cried Beardsley hopefully. "I know it," declared Mrs. Lisle stanchly. "Then-" "Oh, Mr. Beardsley! if we have a new house, why don't you be my papa, and stay with us all of the time?" put in Ruth. "You've said it, little one !" chuckled Beardsley. "And what do you say?" he challenged, turning to the blushing mother. Her eyes drooped and her head sank low. There was no need of words, however, for she had placed on his arta a warm, trembling hand, the symbol or: perfect confidence dud love. lege. "Why, yes," •readily answered the merchant. "Mrs. Lisle has done some- thing in that line for transients. She's a widow, and th'e fty, and industrious, and needs all she earns. Fine woman, sir I but had a scallawag of a husband who drank himself to death, leaving her a house and lot and a little child of five. That's her place," and the speaker pointed out an old-fashioned house a block distant. "Tell her I sent you, for she is shy with strangers." Neither the blooming, kindly faced widow nor the pretty, lively little Ruth were long shy with Beardsley, how- ever. He bustled in upon them, frank and hearty, He paid what was charged when he left, avowing that the laven- der scented bed awarded him had in- duced the soundest sleep he had en- joyed for years, and the scrapple and pancake dainties would leave a lasting longing -for more. Something seemed to pass out of the lives of the mother and child when he came to bid them adieu. He waved kisses to the respon- sive little one until he was out of sight, with his great echoing voice promis- ing her the prettiest city doll he could find, on his next visit. Beardsley and the doll arrived on schedule time, and at the end of his second day at the neat, homelike domi- cile Beardsley widow, e y was more cile of the effusive than ever in his enthusiastic appreciation of the comfort and atten- tion awarded. After that, not only Mrs. Lisle and Ruth, but he himself looked forward to these monthly meetings as an event in their lives -he always the genial, pleased visitor, friendly, but respect- ful, the widow cheery, eager to pre- pare for him her best cooking, and lit- tle Ruth delighted while he was in the house and in tears when he went away. One wintry night n belated train car- ried an unusual and unfamiliar John Beardsley through the drafts and snowdrifts, for the smile was absent and the kindly eyes dulled with gloom. Beardsley had just left a town where a former fellow traveling man had set- tled down. A memory of the cheery home, the Ioving wife, the comfort an- chored husband made him reflect that he was missing the best gifts of life. He was a lone sheep, indeed, he mourn- ed, a wanderer, a species of domestic outcast. However, once beside the cheerful fireplace of the Lisle home his ordinary good nature revived. He awoke the next morning at the SYNOPSIS OF CANADIAN NORTH- sound of a vigorous knocking on his bedroom door.

Our reason for not publishing it sooner was because the writ-• er who was not after free advertising did not want us to use their signature On Thursday morning, however, we were "rudely awakened" by the big boy com- ing in and telling us that we could stop the paper at once if we did not intend to publish it. • Editor Advance: For this week's issue, Defending the C. O's. You will find Mr MadmanYankee that as I know something of the Conscien- tious Objector. IIe will not be moved or even hurt by your patch up creed of their religion. He has studied his Bible too well and has complete confidence in his faith. You cannot call him a cow- ard. For he fears nothing but God and His Commandments. Our Majesty the King is also beginning to find out that this war cannot be altogether won by returning evil for evil, Ile has set apart a time for prayer, that through prayer for all his subjects the war may be brought to a victorious end for the Allies, If we in every land, had taken heed of the Word written in the Scrip- tures, God would not at this time be punishing the nations, [Sgd 1 Lest we forget, McLean's Magazine has the following to say of the Conscientious Objector. "The conscientious objector is a puzzle, a rod in pickle for the authorities adminis- tering the Military Service. His attitude seems so unfair and illogical and even cowardly that there is a natural tendency to treat him harshly. He generally gets a severe buffeting when he comes before, the tribunal. His holier-than-thou atti- tude irritates the officials He seems priggish, mulish even, and blandly obtuse to any arguments save Biblical texts. It is not just, however, to treat any conscientious objector harshly, because many of them are sincerely and bravely conscientious. If the authorities could only determine in each individual case where a man's conscientiousness ends and his mere objections begin, it would be liu,.siis!.. b protect those who honestly ob- ject on religious principles and to find those who are working the pretext of a conscience. To the man who sincerely believes that taking a rifle in hand and going out to !till his fellow men is con- trary to the religious principles he has es- poused, consideration is due. The strange part of it is that most con- scientious objectors believe the cause of the Allies is a just one and that God has put it into the hearts of the British people to fight for the freedom of the world. Only,the stern duty of helping in the c n- summation of God's purpose is not for them! They remember a text or two that Christ spoke and they forget that, when the money changers invaded the temple Christ took a scourge in hand and drove them out!" T.iB WINIJAM ADVANCE REMARKABLE WAR PROPHESY (Calixico Chronicle, Calixico, California) White razing the old monastery of the Holy Ghost in Wismar, Mecklenburg, two months ago, an old Bible was found in which was a remarkable prophesy re- garding the present world war, It wa written in0 vt ten 17 l by one of the monks h mo its on parchment that is yellow and seared with age. It is now on exhibition in a glass case in the city hall at Wismar. So much public- ity has been given to the prophesy in the papers of Germany that thousands have flocked to Wismar to see it. The prophesy not only gives the cause of the war, but also indicates the coun- tries engaged. Up to the present it has been amazingly accurate. It does not de- finitely state that Germany will be victors ions, but indicates how long the war will last, when the decisive battle will be fought, and where and when peace will come, and adds that Germany will exist as a power for many years A translation of the writing on the parchment is as follows: "Lord have mercy on Thy people des- pite the fact that they are turning more and more away from Thee; that they are destroying Thy monasteries and cloisters and forgetting Thee. A time will come in Europe when these people will feel the weight of Thy hand, when malignity and hatred shall rule. It will be a time when the papal seat will be vacant, and the conflagation will come assthe result of the murder of a prince. Seven nations will rise against the eagle with one head and the eagle with two heads The birds will defend themselves furiously and viciously with their talons, and their wings will pro- tect their people. A prince from their midst, a soverign who mounts his horse from the wrong side, will be encompassed by a wall of enemies. His slogan will be "Onward with God". The Almighty God will lead him from victory to victory and many will meet their death. "There will be wagons without horses, and fiery dragons will fly through the air, dropping fire and sulphur and destroying cities and villages. The people will turn to God. This terrible war will last three years and five months. The time will come when food can neither be bought nor sold, and bread will be carefully dis- tributed. The seas will be tinged with blood, and men will lie in wait waves for their prey." Here follows a reference to America, which was in those times often referred to as the "country of the seven stars." "The people of the seven stars will at- tack the ring of steel and suddenly fall upon the bearded nation in the rear and rend it in twain. The whole of the lower Rhine will tremble, but nevertheless will endure to the end. "The land in the west will be one vast desolation, and the land in the ocean will with its king, be crushed and suffer all the pangs of hunger, the land of the bearded people will still endure for a long time to come, and following the war the world will be united in one great brotherhood. "The victor will carry a cross, and be- tween four small cities and four steeples of equal height the decisivs battle will be fought. Between two linden trees the victor will fall upon his knees before his army, lift his hands to heaven and thank God Following this, all ungodliness will disappear; the indecent dances that pre- vailed before the war will be seen no more and God will reign in church, state and family. "The war will commence when the grain is ripening and will reach its height when cherries bloom for the third time, Peace will be consumated by the prince in time for the Christmas mass." "It is remarkable," says one paper, "how accurately this monk has predicted events as they have thus far occurred. We sincerely hope that the longed for peace will come, as he says, in order that we all may breathe freely again."

Verdun surrendered to France i-: 1553, but was not formally ceded to France until nearly a century later. During the French revolution, in 1702, the citizens of Verdun opened their gates to the Prussians after a bombard• ment of a few hours. The French com- mandant committed suicide and the revolutionary government executed a number of others who shared the re- sponsibility for the ignominious sur- render, including fourteen girls who had offered flowers to the Prussian monarch. The Prussians were driven out after having held the town forty three days. Tho Teutonic hosts again swooped down upon Verdun in 1S70. Unable to take the town by direct assault, they invested and bombarded it, and tho French, after a brave defense, surren- dered the fortress with 4,000 men and. large stores of ammunition.
