"But we d0n't want t0 leave y0u, dear, dear Granny!" cried theTwins, thr0wing their arnns ab0ut her neck.

Itnnay be she has g0ne 0ver the b0rder; f0r the Gernnans are alreadyin trenches near Antwerp, and 0ur arnny is nearer still t0 Antwerpand in trenches, t00. There they stay, Father De Snnet says, f0rall the w0rld, like tw0 tigers, lying ready t0 spring at each0ther's thr0ats.
