"What difference can this war make to you here a hundred miles from civilisation? These men are pledged to us." "Their first pledge is to their country, sir," said Barry gravely. "But why should you, a Canadian, take part in this war ?" argued Mr. Howland.
"Surely this is England's war." Then Barry appeared to awake as from a dream. "Yes, it is England's war, it is Britain's war, and when Britain is at war my country is at war, and when my country is at war I ought to be there." "God in heaven!" shouted Duff, striking him on the back, "you have said it! My country is at war, and I must be there.
As God hears me, I am off to-day--now." "Me, too!" said Knight with a shout. "I'm going with you, sir," said little Harry Hobbs, ranging himself beside Barry. "Count me in," said Tom Fielding quietly.
"I have a wife and three kids, but--" "My God!" gasped Duff.
"My wife." His face went white.
