Let me tell you, Professor Schaefer," shaking his finger in the professor's face. "To her last man and her last dollar Canada would be with the Empire." "Hear, hear!" shouted Hugo Raeder. The professor looked incredulous. "And yet," he said with a sneer, "one-half of your people voted for Reciprocity with the United States." "Reciprocity!

I have only one son, but I will never stand between you and your duty or your honour. Now we go to lunch. Where shall we go?" "With me, at the University Club, all of you," said Raeder. "No, with me," said Mr. Wakeham. "I will put up the fatted calf, for this my son is home again. Eh, my boy?" During the lunch hour try as they would they could not get away from the war.

And you need not worry about that coal mine. Dean has been telling me about it. We will see it through." When Larry went to take farewell of the Wakehams he found Rowena with Hugo Raeder in the drawing-room. "You are glad to leave us," said Rowena, in a tone of reproach. "No," said Larry, "sorry. You have been too good to me." "You are glad to go to war?" "No; I hate the war.

I was not fit, I know, but I do not think it did me any harm." At this point the boy's voice broke up and there was silence for some moments in the office. Larry had his face covered with his hands to hide the tears that were streaming down. Dean's father was openly wiping his eyes, Raeder looking stern and straight in front of him.

And is it that which the Delbruck Law is deliberately drawn, to permit you to do?" "Well put, Larry!" exclaimed Hugo Raeder, to whom the German's attitude was detestable. Professor Schaefer's lips curled in an unpleasant smile. "Canada, Canadian citizenship! My dear young man, pardon! Allow me to ask you a question.

As they passed out of the dining hall Larry and his friends were held up by a score or more of men who crowded around him with warm thanks and congratulations. The affair was kept out of the press, but the news of it spread to the limits of clubland. The following day Raeder thought it best that they should lunch again together at the University Club. The great dining-room was full.

The Canadians were Empire mad. The bare suggestion of the possibility of any peril to the Empire bond made them throw out Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberal Party. That, of course, with other subordinate causes." "I fancy our Mr. Taft helped a bit," said Hugo Raeder. "Undoubtedly Mr. Taft's unfortunate remarks were worked to the limit by the Conservative Party.

You are a citizen of another country while you claim American citizenship?" said Raeder. "You can no more be a citizen of two countries at the same time than the husband of two wives at the same time." "Well, why not?" laughed Schaefer. "An American wife for America, and a German wife for Germany. You will excuse me," he added, bowing toward Mrs. Wakeham. "Don't be disgusting," said Hugo Raeder.

Then you would see ah, what would you not see!" "Your country?" said Hugo Raeder, smiling. "I understood you were an American, Professor Schaefer." "An American? Surely! I have been eighteen years in this country." "You are a citizen, I presume?" said Mr. Wakeham. "A citizen? Yes. I neglected that matter till recently; but I love my Fatherland."

It was a way Schaefer had these days. The very sight of him was enough to stir Larry to a kind of frenzied madness. This morning the German's smile was the filling up of his cup of misery. He stuffed the paper into his desk, took up his pen and began to make figures on his pad, gnawing his lips the while. An hour later Hugo Raeder came in with a message for him.
