st instincts of thinking men."

"Good has come out of it, at any rate," she reminded him. "Westminster
Buildings is now the centre of patriotic England. Labour was to have
brought the war to an end--for Germany. It is Labour which is going to
win the victory--for England."

The train rolled into the station and rapidly disgorged its crowd
of passengers, amongst whom Julian was one of the first to alight.
Catherine found herself trembling. The shy words of welcome which had
formed themselves in her mind died away on her lips as their glances
met. She lifted her face to his.

"Julian," she murmured, "I am so proud--so happy."

The Bishop left them as they stepped into their cab.

"I am going to a mission room in the neighbourhood," he explained. "We
have war talks every week. I try to tell them how things are going on,
and we have a short service. But before I go, Mr. Stenson has sent you
a little message, Julian. If you go to your club later on to-night, you
will see it in the telegrams, or you will find it in your newspapers in
the morning. There has been wonderful fighting in Flanders to-day. The
German line has been broken at half a dozen points. We have taken nearly
twenty thousand prisoners, and Zeebrugge is threatened. Farther south,
the Americans have made their start and have won a complete victory over
the Crown Prince's picked troops."

The two men wrung hands.

"This," Julian declared, "is the only way to Peace."
