Gontran believed in peace. In fact, be so strongly believed in it that he wanted to go out and make public speeches on the subject. When he made his first appearance as the “friend of man,” he proved his sincerity by giving most of his belongings, such as watch, shoes, etc., to the various members of the crowd about. But before the meeting was over, there was a small riot, and the result was that our friend, Gontran, found himself hurled under the debris of the broken platform, chairs, etc. It was a great mix-up and a decided proof that all the people do not believe in peace. When Gontran finally reached his home, he decided that after all, what he would enjoy more than anything else, would be the peace and quiet of his own fireside. He made up his mind to allow the rest of the world to take care of itself.
