idly off at the fields, a great tranquility
in her cOuntenance- She, like DreyfuS,
IS resting" for the first time since the
degradation in a.
They tell me it is a good thing they
did not know of my Suffer1ngs, salu
Dreyfus, ''Or they could never have
gone on trying to free me At each
step of progress they made, my guards
were doubled and my liberties cur
tailed They wanted me to die, you see,
before anything could be done, but L
made up my mind to live; for my lam
ily'S sake, TO free my name
When they heard was to have a
new trial they put me in irons, ana
when I talked in my sleep, they lis
tened and wrote down my words and
said I was insane They kept me IN
irons so long that my ankles and my
wrists became sore and the guards,
more merciful than the jailerS, crept
in at night to dress them for me"
Tears sprang to the eyes of Matthieu
Dreyfus, the devoted brother
In 1896 and 1897 I determined to
make my last effort to live. I was
sinking fast. The climate is very bad
there. The thermometer never runs be-
low 80 degrees Fahrenheit, except at
night, when it gets down to 80; and
the guards suffer SO intensely that they
have to be relieved. Several sets We're
taken away every year and new ones
sent, some better, some worse, than
the others.
In those years, I tell you, I put
away the pictures of my wife and chill
dren, which they had allowed me to
keep, and resolved to think no more of
them. 1t so weakened me to picture
their agony!
My boy was old enough to remem-
Der me, I hoped, but the girl was only
a few months old; and the thought of
my wife bearing her burden of bring
ing up the two babies without me so
weakened my powers that feared col
lapse. So tried to forget them and to
think of scientific QuestiOns-anything
since they gave no books, but home
and family.

SO sure of my innocence that I was
naughty and spoke out TO the Gener-
ais, pointing out their mistakes. In
captain is, Walk behind the General,
echo his words, approve all he does. L
dld not approve everything and said So
Ihen there was my race hatred. l was
so sure that I would be acquitted that
up to the minute of my degradation in
1894 laughed at the idea of being con-
Vlcted of treason. Oh, it is a terrible
th1ng! Thank God, I am innOcent?
Dreyfus is fond of saying the word
innocent. He has said it so often the
past five years, to himself, that it rolls
or his tongue naturally. Il am innO-
cent, innocent" D." is his constant declara-
ton, and few looking al him, as your
correspondent had the pleasure of do
ing, would doubt it.
My future? How can tell it now?
1 am so glad to be with my family
again. So glad, I could almost dance
with joy
Here Dreyfus, who is very gentle in
manner, and would offend no one, took
a feeble step toward his brother, who
held out a ready arm He is tired"
said Matthieu; Poor Alfred. Lean on
me, my brother
And so I left them, walking up the
gravelled path to the Chateau, the one
strong and well, the other long and
thin and pale, with an experience in
early life, such as falls to few persons
in the worlds history.

result of famine. With characteristic
Boer tenacity, Kruger and his men
camped about the entrance of this cav
ern for twenty-five days, shooting down
with llnerring aim whatever natives at
tempted to escape.
On the 5wenty-sixth day the besieg-
ers entered the cavern and met with SO
little resistance that they took COM
plete possession of it, with only four
men slightly wounded. They had killed
900 natives outside, and within the cav
ern, which was Tast in it's extent, lay
nearly 1000 who had died of hunger
and thirst.
kruger's physical prowess in those
days was also something extraordi-
nary. It is said that SO fleet of foot
was he that he could easily keep pace
with the best horse in running for a
considera BILE distance.
Kruger's moral courage is no less
than his physical endowment. This
was emphasized when Jameson and his
force were prisoners in Pretoria. There
was great popular clamor among the
Beers for the immediate trial and pun
ishment of the principal offenders but
he stood out against their arguments
and anger with resolute imperturba-
bility.
