As we plunged on through the gath.

me that the soul Of Arras was typfed
in that patient solitary woman who sat
amid desolate rain. waiting for the
great day; and surely her patience can
not go unywarded, for since science
has proved that nothing can be utterly
destroyed, since for one am convinced
that the soul OF man through death is
