"It's almost time for our friends to be here, isn't it? What time is Captain Knabe coming?" said a voice. "At about fifteen minutes after eight. He is coming with Winckel." "Say, Schmidt, it was a good piece of business to get Strong out of the way. He is too dangerous and resourceful to suit us." This from O'Reilly. "He has been a nuisance, hasn't he?" answered Schmidt.
They told me that the Lord had blessed my last visit to them; and having been informed of my coming, they were prepared to ask me many questions. One of them, Knabe, about thirty years ago being possessed of property, was persuaded to lay it out in coal mines.
Visions came to Peter that afternoon in the darkness, visions in which his poverty was forgotten or mattered not at all. Visions of a Christmas-Eve in a home that he had earned, of a tree, of a girl-woman, of a still and holy night, of a child. "Nur das traute, hoch heilige Paar Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar Schlaf' in himmlischer Ruh', Schlaf' in himmlischer Ruh'," they sang.
At half past ten all the men had left and from what Ted heard he understood that Knabe, Winckel, O'Reilly and Schoen were adjourning to some other place to perfect plans. Ted cautiously stretched himself. He was wary and still watchful. Although his muscles were stiff and his bones ached, he had not dared to move.
The professor waved her aside, lifting Jonesy's head as tenderly as a nurse could have done, and motioned the coloured men to lift him up. "No, no, fraulein," he said. "I have had eggsperience. It is besser the poor leedle knabe go mit me!" There was no opposing the old man's masterful way.
"I think a number of us will bear out what Winckel says," O'Reilly spoke up. "For myself, and I think I speak for the other Irishmen here present and also for the forty thousand against England, but against the United States never. Not one Irishman can be counted on if it comes to a showdown against the U. S. A." "Nor very many Germans," added Winckel. "So be it," said Captain Knabe.
We figure that thirty thousand men will be enough for Winnipeg, although we shall have more." "The fool Englishmen," sneered a voice. "Not such fools, Schmidt. Do not underestimate them." The voice was Winckel's. "Everything looks so easy," said another voice. "Aye," said Captain Knabe, "we cannot help but win. But the Englishman fights best with his back to the wall."
Oh, yes, one more thing, Schmidt, better have Strong watched even more closely. What is the other business?" It could be seen that Mr. Winckel was the moving spirit. "Tomorrow, eight o'clock, here the chief will come from Washington. When Captain Knabe comes, he will tell us just when the day will be. It is very soon, very soon; the long wait is over. Then, too, he will tell us what we shall do.
I spent this evening in relating to my father and brother some of the Lord's dealings with me in England, particularly how He has graciously provided for my temporal wants in answer to prayer, and they both seemed to feel, for the moment at least the blessedness of such a life. April 7. I saw brother Knabe this morning, who is still determined to pay the money, though tried by his wife.
Greetings were exchanged and Ted realized that the two were Winckel and Captain Knabe. As Captain Knabe was introduced to some of the men, Ted wrote the names down. "Let us get down to business, friends," said one, who seemed to be the chairman. "Captain Knabe has come here from Washington, his time just now is important. Even more important is the need for immediate action.
