The first face they saw was that of Edwin Brook, into whose arms Gertie ran with a wild cry of joy. "Why, Hans Marais!" cried James Skyd, jumping off the counter and grasping his big friend by the hand, while Robert seized that of Considine, "where have you dropped from? But I need scarcely ask, for all the world seems to be crowding into the town.
The melancholy, crowding trees and the delicate groups of little bushes were like mourners coming with their children to look on at the great burning.
Then they push and push to get forward, and can't get through, and the rest come still crowding on behind and above and below, till a multitude of them are jammed so tight against each other that they can't open their gills; and even if they could, there would not be air enough for them.

It was a dim light that of the candles but even to-day it shines through the long alley of these many years upon my pathway. I see now what I saw not then in the candle-light, a race marching out of darkness, ignorance and poverty with our little party in the caravan. Crowding on, they widened the narrow way of their stern religion. The Bible and the St. Lawrence Republican were always with us.

Years afterwards I had the pleasure of being present when a delegation waited upon the Government of one of the provinces of Canada, and presented many reasons for extending the franchise to women.
Not understanding wild animals as the trainer did, they did not realize that this plucky fellow was fighting for his life, even though he used but a slender rawhide in his effort to do so.
