"Why, hullo, Lacey!" exclaimed Hopalong, leaping forward to shake hands with the man Red and Billy had gone to help. "Purty well scratched up, but lively yet, hey?"

He was still in the first shock of full revelation; and it was a moment or two before he put his hand into that of Nicholas, and answered, simply: "Yes, I will go." "Soon?" "Oh yes." The reply had a weary tone. "Yes. I will go to-day." Rubinstein nodded with satisfaction. His self-imposed mission was accomplished. A moment later, after a close hand-clasp, he was gone.

Not till then was the silence broken. "Thar seems to be a penalty fer lovin' too ''much down hyar," said one; " 'n' I reckon," he added, slowly, "that both of us hev got hit to pay."
"I want to go," Ted answered very quietly. "Canada is second only to my loyalty for my own country." Major Church and Captain Wilson gave Ted a hand-clasp which showed their feelings.
