"If I'd never knew it before, I'd learned it that night on the train when you could have sent me help and wouldn't." "My God, Paine! you asked me to steal from the captain's flask. I simply ask for what's my own " But the voice was suddenly hushed, for, springing to his feet, Mr. Davies hurried to the door. "Who is this who have you here?" he asked. "You you? Brannan!"
It was not until a century of obloquy had been heaped on the memory of Thomas Paine that his once enemies were brought to know him as a statesman of integrity, a philanthropist, and philosopher. His deistic religion, proclaimed in "The Age of Reason," is unfortunately no whit more independent than is preached in dozens of pulpits to-day.
It was not certain, but our hero was forced to admit that the chances of his father's being alive were extremely slender.

The little body of British troopers, only forty-eight of them all told, with Hal Paine and Chester Crawford as their guides, were reconnoitering ten miles in advance of the main army along the river Marne in the great war between Germany and the allied armies.
