when stripped of outward rank and
position were very similar, and could
demand only such respect from their
fellows as they were entitled to by
merit Honest companionship which
sought no other return was price
less treasure. And now with this new
view Of life. stronger in health and un-
jaundiced in mind, he was glad to ally
himself and his empire in movement
which promised advancement without
conquest and gain without aggression.
The drums of war sounded very hol-
low, and their unmusical beatings
were dying away in the distance, going
