vidual. A little reflection will show
that it is far more reasonable to think
that there would be some such varia-

recognize difference of disposition in
men and in women; we recognize a
difference in character in our dogs,
horses and other domestic animals.
There is reason to think that in the
natural state these differences would
be apt to be- greater rather than less;
yet the writer's of books on natural his

received in simple faith what they

an over-hasty generalization, to argue

He went to the window and stood
looking out at the glory of the river

desire of her filed his soul.

it was supposed to have disappeared
from the bureau where he was work
ing. Now this very note has been
since found at the war Office. 60 The
fact that the initial %" occurred in
another petit bleu" exchanged be-
tween the German and Italian military
attaches was regarded as proof
against Dreyfus. It has since been
ascertained that the original initial
was scratched out and replaced by the
letter d." az It has also been found
that several documents in favor OF
Dreyfus were not submitted to the
officers who tried him at Rennes. ~
Since 1899 document has been dis
covered which shows that Dreyfus
never made an avowal of guilt. (6)
It is alleged that there is evidence of
one false witness at the Rennes tf1al.
The supreme court will therefore
officially proclaim ex-Capt. Dreyfus to
be innocent, and will restore to him
his civil rights. 1t will remain for
an assize court to fix the damages.

A few dying notes, then silence. The
shaded light of the electric bulb still
shone softly, but the moonlight had
long danced from the waves. In it's
stead, the mist over the river was
purpling warm with the summer dawn.
Blennen' moved softly to the window
and stood looking down on the woman.
She gave no heed to his presence. The
dark lashes swept her cheek, her
breath rhythmed gently, she was
nestled luxuriously amid the cushions

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and
