A powerful chapter from one of the
most remarkable of recorded human ex-
periences appears in McClures Magazine
for May-"Capt. Alfred Dreyfus' Own
Story of His Arrest. Degradation and
Transportation to Devils Isle" To this
story is added portion of the diary
kept by Dreyfus on the island, for his
wife, and referred to so often and SO
mysteriously in the Rennes trial, but
never made public. A more intense and
convincing expression of human agony
than that found in these fragments is
inconceiyable, From first to last it is
evident that the sufferer is bewildered
and maddened by what has befallen him,
and that all which keeps him from In
sanity or death is his determination to
prove that his prosecutors are powerless
to overthrow what he calls the 'sov-
ereignty of the SOUL" These dramatic
fus was compelled to undergo on Devil's
isle every ignominy and hardship his
Jailers could devise, even to close con-
fnement in a hut, enclosed by palisades
and shut out from air and light, with
double irons upon his legs throughout the
night The book from which this remark
able document is taken, containing the
story of Dreyfus' entire five years Of suf-
fering and Imprisonment, is to be pub
lished by Mcclure, Phillips & Co. in May.
