The man was fairly well dressed. and stated that he arrived in Kingston from Montreal on a freight train and that he intended to catch a freight train and £0 on through to Toronto. The lady was good enough to give him his break- fast. He made many boasts as to what Germany would do to England before the war was over, ana the tio had somewhiut of a hested asovument. The woman upheld Great Britain in all her actions and told the German that his country would certainly be downed, and that it a matter of time. "Don't you be sure of that," replied the stranger. "You will see that Germany pulls through this war with a grand victory." After finishing his breakfast the man made off and was never seen again in the neighborhood.
