He has secured asylum in Denmark, and in that country he has just published the first number of a review, to whose historical and human interest I now wish to call attention. This periodical is entitled "Das werdende Europa, Blätter für zukunftsfrohe Menschen, neutral gegenüber den kriegführenden Ländern, leidenschaftlich Partei ergreifend für das Recht gegen die Macht."
Cavour used to laugh at the story, but the cockle shells in the arms of the Bensos and their German motto, "Gott will recht," seem to connect the family with those transalpine crusading adventurers who brought the rising sap of a new nation to reinvigorate the peoples they tarried amongst.
Here was evidently an opportunity of making use of the short training I had once had as A.D.C. I tried it.

Let Destiny take her course. As he left the hospital, he heard a wounded Boer prisoner say to a Tommy who had fought with him on opposite sides in the same engagement, "Alles zal recht kom!" All will come right, was the English of it. Out of the agony of conflict would all come right for Boer, for Briton, for Rudyard, for Jasmine, for himself, for Al'mah?
