Thus wrote Heloise, whose love for
Abelard stands for all times as the type
Of woman's noblest, self-sacrificing de-
Notion. The love affairs of Abelard
and Heloise presents one of the pret-
test romances of all history. Poets
and romancers have seized eagerly on
the story, till now, toward the end OF
thousand years, it is embodied in the
literature of a dozen nations
Abelard has just claim upon the
gratitude of mankind for all time in
having inaugurated the Reign OF Rea =
SON. in Europe, and blazed the way for
mankind along the path of intellectual
liberty. But in spite of this he was a
despicable character, when we remem-
Der the beautiful. the brilliant and the
loving and trusting Heloise, and what
sine suffered at this mans hands. For
this, at least. he is not to be admired.

known of her early life, other than
that she was brought up by her uncle,
who gave her the best education the
age afforded. When she was / s she had
drawn about her some of the most bril-
liant scholars of Paris. Among those
were the famous priest and logiciail
Peter Abelard. The most brilliant
scholar of his age, he completely fas-
cjnsted and enthralled her. They
loved and were secretly married
When their love became known and Abe
lard, in defiance of the church, proposed
an open marriage, Heloise forbade him.
His reputation and interests were dearer
to her than her own fair name, and to
them she sacrificed her love.
This early love was not to last. Heloise
loved Abelard to the end but she had
found him false. She retired to con-
vent, where for 40 years she dreamed OF
this love, and yet there were moments
when she allowed it to turn to hate. This
extract from a letter written in after
years will express her feelings:
"At last Abelard, you have lost
Heloise forever. Notwithstanding all the
oaths I made to think of nothing but
you, and to be entertained with nothing
but you, / have banshed you from my
thoughts; I have forgotten you. Thou
charming idea of a lover l once adored,
thou wilt be no more my happiness. Dear
image of Abeard, thou wilt no more fol-
low me everywhere, l will no more re-
member thee. My dear husband! 0his
is the last time l shall use that express
sion) Shall i never see you again? Shall
never have the pleasure of embracing
you before death? What dost thou say,
WI etched Heloise? Dost thou know what
thou desirest? Canst thou behold those
lovely eyes without recollecting those
amorous glances which nave been so fatal
to thee?'
However, when Abelard died his body
was conveyed to the convent, where 1t
was wept over by Heloise, and 20 years
later, on May II, 1854, she was laid beside
him. In the cemetery of Pere la Chaise
in Paris where now they rest, a beauti-
full monument rises above them.

Child of the Corner

"Some time ago l replied to an appeal
for brace for the Child of the Corner,

too modest to give me her name. AS
