The words sounded no plain and

sailed with questions from all sides.
Everybody pressed forward, and he
found himself compelled to relate
briefly what had happened.

clusion. I'm an elegant carriage and

Obstinate. but we must admit that he

The last remark seemed to interest
the younger officers extremely. They
wanted to learn all sorts OF particulars
about Mrs. Roland and were greatly
disappointed when informed that the
young bride was very much agitated
by her fathers death and probably
would see little of her husbands COM
rades for some time.
"Ah, there comes William!" he ex-
claimed. interrupting himself. Con
gratulate him. He wears his new
dignity somewhat timidly."
1t was really William, who had come
to report his return. He was warmly
greeted by all. The colonel especially
received him with great cordiality.

you are at last! Doctor Maxwell has
already told us the whole adventure
OF which you were the HERO
Not l but John Maxwell was the
hero" said William. holding out his
hand to his friend with ill-repressed
emotion. Had it not been for him, l
should have lost happiness and life.
l shall never forget what he did to-

Maxwell laughingly refused his
thanks.
Let that pass, Will: we shall
wrangle again at the very next oppor-
tunity. Germans and Americans al
ways quarrel, and our armistice won't
last long. Today risked my life for

Went Up In smoke.
In the year 1851 a 12-penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed
by the government at Ottawa. Tho
public did not regard this somber is
sue with favor. and few were issued.
One OF these stamps was sent to the
Hamilton postoffice, where II was sold
to an old man. who said 1t was a
shame to print the queens picture on
a stamp that might be handled by pro-
fame hands. Tenderly the man put It
on parcel. sending 1t to a friend In
the United States. Here. In the waste
basket. 1t lay for many a day, till an
errand boy found 1t and qickly trans
ferred 1t to his album. Despairing of
getting good collection. and his fe-
yer somewhat abating. he sold them TO
dealer. The new dealer, on looking
at the catalogue, found that what he
had paid IS for was worth $26. Acci-
dentally this stamp was slipped into
a 25-cent packet and sent to a dealer
residing In Hamilton. When the lat
ter opened the packet he was aston
ished to find such valuable STAMP.
and. being honest. wrote his friend 70
inform him Of what had happened, Of
fering him 81 200 for It. The offer was
accepted. and the stamp again changed
hands. BY this time the stamp had

from a distance to look at the treas

who. through friend. had heard of
the stamp. offered $1,000. which offer

A certain feeling of anxiety per-

son to conceal the fact that he had
given the young officer a leave Of alb

in this war: people regarded them as
matters OF course and wasted few
words over them. but Roland was. as
his friend expressed 1t. "the darling
