 Thus Mime. Dreyfus summed up to-
 day her feelings Of intense relief and abiding calm after four years Of his
 torie agony.
 M. Georges Clemeneeau obtained
 permission for me to see Mme Drsy-
 fUs on this day of her husbands de- i liverance, as nearly two years ago he
 also assisted me to obtain from her | the first statement she has ever made ! fer publication.
 The contrast was striking. Then her fathers apartment in Rue de Chat eaudun was a house of mourning. She herself was in deep black and op-
 pressed with woe. Every one was moving about noiselesSly.
 On this bright June morning every thing about madame was in keeping with the joyousness of the atmos- pheTe. There were voices of children playing in the corridor. Mime. Drey fGs is no longer like a martyr at the stake, but bright and hopeful. She is not in black now, but dresses in deep blue, her fine figure showing to ad- vantags, her face wearing an expres- sion Of comfortable repose, her intel ligent, d.trk brown eyes alone retain ing tracG5 Of suffering in their some what wis,ful expression.
 T knew it would come,'' she said ''I told you so when you came to me in my darkest hour. Since then there have been anxious moments, but my husbands innocence was being stead- fly proved, and I never lost faith in the justice of France. It has risen above all considerations, all infiu- Q 51lAfS-cJIcf ipfnn11op- oavroy perhaps be known.
 My lawyer, Maitre Mornard. for bids me to give a regular interview until my husbands rerrial is over must be discreet and do nothing to hamper those who are working for him.
 T speak as though the courts de- cision had already been given, but I am s3 confident of what it will be that am no longer in suspense. I am grateful to the American people for the help they have given me. It is on that account that I see you. In the last fortnight I have received many letters-strange letters, some of them; some seeking aid, some offering it; many from America; several from England.
 Have you learned that Du Patty de Clam has bean arrested?" the ccrre- spondent asked.
 At last Justice has becn done. Mme. Dreyfus answered. We knew that he lad acted a miserable part all alcag, but only we know how shame ful.
 T don't want him punished. I shall forgive every one when my husband is liberated. Enough have Suffered already in this horrible bus;nezs. l. has left it's mark on 50 many hearts, so many homes, that there should be ob- llVlon as far as am concerned. But Justice must tnke it's course"
 Have you had recent news from your husband?" the correspondent in quired.
 His last letter was dated May G." Mma. Dreyfus replied. Tt is a brck- en hearted letter Suspense was kill ing him almost. He said the waiting now is more trying than in al the previous years.
 - am told that he shcuid be here by the end of this month, but no off, ;Ial communication has yet been made | to me as to his departure.
 T have no fear of a new trial It an only Tehabilitate him formally, as he last four years Investigations have i 1cne actually"
 Do you intend to live in France i 1as asked. after your husbands re- eaaa?"
 An! Why not?" responded Mme. 0reyfus. T fully expect that we shall | stay here, for he can no longer have 1 thy enemies when his innocence is es- 1 -a0li@hed. He loved France. and it i would Ee a fresh sorrow to him to cave it. I cannot say more now. 1 | lave much business. Adieu,"
 Mime. DrayfUs evidently was afraid | iie might speak 100 freely, and felt l hat she must be cauti0us-From a ! Paris Cable Letter, June g.
