EnGland's fear Of the Muscovite con-
quest OF her Indian possessions gave
place to a greater fear OF the Germans.
Napoleon remarked that proximity usu-
ally makes a nations nearest neighbor an
enemy. and that enmity makes the next
neighbor beyond a friend. This is the
main reason why England has espoused
the cause OF Russia in the present con-
fiict. The rapidly growing German fleets

quench the Briton's fear OF the German

Napoleon said that in a hundred years
all the rest OF Europe would have to
combine to fight the Cossack. Possibly
that day is not now far distant. and Ma
poleon's prophecy may not be much longer
deferred.

the causes Of the present war and what
the results are likely to be.
II Germany should win, and she posi-
bly, may, then a different condition con-
fronts US. At this writing Germany's
steam-roller advance through Belgium
into France is very ominous, while the
Russian advance into Prussia is likewise
ominous; and the Germans are vastly out
numbered by the allies. But We must re-
member that battles are not won, cam

grocer is to give his friend a barrel of
sugar to sell at wartime prices or the
banker to give his friend a bag of gold
to lend at high rates.
Mr. Dalton had the foxes, and he in
tended to keep them. He did keep
them for a long time And he con-
tinued to send over their pelts to Lon
don, in return for which London sent
over checks and drafts to him. 1t was
a very satisfactory arrangement to Dali
ton, and well repaid him for all his pa
tient work and waiting.
Finally one of Dalton's neighbors
succeeded in getting a fox that was
half black, half red.
The corner was broken. Before very
long the neighbor, stimulated by the
knowledge of Dalton's success, had
succeeded in producing a black fox
Then he, too, began to send strange
bundles to London, for which he re-
ceived much money.
Dalton knew when he was beaten.
His corner was broken. To be sure,
the padlocked fence about his fox pre-
serves was intact, but one of his neigh
bors had developed strain of perfect
black foxes. !
So after that Dalton listened to the
clamor of other neighbors who wanted
to buy black foxes from him so that
they, too, might raise black foxes and
send their pelts over the sea. He sold

Several years ago silver-black fox, .
pelt almost pure black, was rather sud-
denly picked up by fashion. London
is the great fur market of the world,
where pelts from Africa, from the ORR
ent, from Alaska and other American
fur lands, and from all other fur cor
ners of the world are brought for sale.
In Prince Edward Island lived one
Charles Dalton. He had lived there
forty years on a rich, fertile farm. He
was interested in the farm, but he was
also interested in many things that
went on outside. He was a man of
education, and he read much, not only
in books of learning, but in the daily
and weekly papers that found their
way to him. He kept the run of the
stock markets and the produce mar
kets of the world.
He was one of the men who noticed
that the price of silver-black fox was

dormant in his mind and had it not
been for a sportsman in the neighbor-

Dalton would have been the well-edu-

and little more than that.

fact that sportsman in the neighbor-
