hard-so hard that pretty Mrs. Lydia
Emmons, at his side. tapped him play
fully upon the arm.
What is the matter that you are so
silent, Morty?" she asked.
81 was thinking" returned Mortimer
Strange, gulping down his drink.
He had been thinking extremely hard.
He had been thinking over his past. At
the age of thirty-fve, four years ago, he
had suddenly found himself transformed,
through a mixture of luck and ability,
from Woodworking clerk in the war Office
to manager of the Ginever powder factory,
at salary of fifteen thousand. The pow
der factory was in intimate touch with the
government at Washington and was the
only maker of the famous new thermolite
powder.
As a clerk, Mortimer Strange had lived
contentedly with his wife, who was
couple of years older than himself, in their
pretty cottage outside Washington. Doris
had worked hard for him; at thirty-seven
her beauty was a little faded. But they
had cared sincerely for each other.
Then had come the removal to Gloss,
and Strange found himself in an entirely
new atmosphere. For the first time in his
life he realized that evening clothes were
an indispensable item In mans wardrobe.
Then there was the social life, and the
country club-and, in short, he had come
into the world of which he had often spec
ulated but which he had never thought to
enter
Doris had tried to keep up with the new
life But the motherly little woman had
hated the glare and glitter; she pinned secret
ly for the kitchen and the freside. At
last she had given up the attempt to live
Mortimer's life Gradually they had
drifted apart The wistful look on his
wife's face was the hardest thing that
Mortimer had to bear.
And the friends that had grown up
around him as if by magic were of the fast
set, There was Mrs. Lydia Emmons, for
instance Nobody knew where Mr.. En-
mons was, but she had money and spent
it royalty Nobody thought it strange
that she and Mortimer were always to-
gether
The man had lost his head in his sur
roundings; they were too big for him. He

A Fool There Was

"Mrs- Strange" she said quietly, al

naturally bad, or maybe l never had a

tunity to make some sacrifice, to show
that there is some good In me. 1t isn't

Doris looked up swiftly into the others
face, and she put her hands in Lydia's
with the same childlike confidence.

a good woman, and 1 shall tell every
body So"
Lydia smiled and kissed her.
On the veranda of the club Morti-
mer Strange was waiting for Lydia
Emmons He had been waiting most
of his spare time during the past three
days, and he was uneasy and perplexed
at not having seen her. 1t was growing
dark, and a sort of jaded romance was
growing In the mans soul
An when at last she came the spur
ious passion that leaped up IN his heart
threatened to sweep him from his bear
ings. She was dressed all In white,
and there was a look on her face that
reminded him, though he did not know
why, of Doris In the days of their court
ship.

About March big Re-
mOVal Sale.

An interesting business announce
ment was made today when it became
known that the VOLTS shirt shop,
which is now located further south
on Main street, has been fortunate
enough to secure one of the best To-
cations in the city. at 1856 Main
street. It is after three years Of the
most successful business, during
which time the store has always sue
ceeded in its attempts to please, that
the change in location comes.
The new store will be filled with
entirely new stock. Every article in
the old place must be sold regardless
of cost, and great removal sale is
being held. Some wonderful bar
gains are offered, as all who have
become acquainted with the Wolff
policy know.
The new place will probably be oc-
cupied about the first of March. No
expense will be spared in the fitting
up of the store at 1856 Main street,

berg Piano Co. The shop will be
among the most handsome in the city.

The efforts of the management of the

good anything that does not give

DREYFUS..

Although he was at last reports a
captain in the French army, and the
proud father of son who has won
high honors in the service of ia re-
publique," it is unlikely that Alfred
Dreyfus has ever entirely recovered
from the terrible ignomy to which
he was subjected twenty-five years
ago to-day, Jan. 5, 1895. Unjustly
convicted of having sold military Sc
crets to Germany, the Alsatian Jew,
then holding the rank Of major, was
condemned to public degradation, and
to life imprisonment on Devils Island.
On that January day in 1895 the
troops who had served under Major
Dreyfus were drawn up in hollow
square before the Ecole Militaire.
There were also present many of the
brother officers of the convicted trait
OF, drawn up liz the Orler o. their
rank, grave and stern of visage. Out
side was assembled a mob of furious
citizens, crying for revenge, demand
ing that Dreyfus be turned over to the
fury of the outraged popuiace. In
the ceremony of degradation nothing
tnat could add to the shame OF the
victim was overlooked. One by one
the insignia and buttons of his mill
tary service were torn off, During
this terrible ordeal Major Dreytrs

head After the ceremo ~ he VS.

His brother, Matthew, and others OF
his relatives, fought valiantly to save
Dreyfus, and they did not abandon
the struggle when he was convict
ed Happily for the cause of justice
they enlisted the sympathy of Emile
Zola, whose "J'accuse" rang out
bravely in defense of the Jew. lola
was exiled for the time, but In the
end he won mis- battle. and Alfred
Dreyfus was rs<t" co to the French
army, and. at the outbreak OF the
present war, was placed In command
Of one Of the forts near Paris.
