"That is undoubtedly deplorable,"
says Plutarch. Nevertheless, it applies
not only in the case of princes, but also
in the case of peoples, and even in the
case of the gods. There is on earth only
one justice-and that is victory There
is only one truth-and that is victory"

TIME scene is laid in the Land of
the Shades. The Shades them
selves walk about in the dim
twilight amid the pale shrubbery and
up and down the neatly laid pathways
Of the Elysian Fields. The dead of all
countries and of all ages group them
selves spontaneously, according to their
professional affinites. And they talk
and gossip, having nothing better to do.
Plutarch, who takes pleasure in asso-
ciating with the illustrious, and espe-
cially with the sovereigns, watches the
dead who arrive. He volunteers to act
as their guide. He presents the latest
arrivals to the older inhabitants of Ely
SUM. That has been his pastime for
centuries, and his great amusement is
to see the establishment of the new
corners on finding how little the heroes
of the past correspond to the ideas of
them which are now current on earth.
He notices an elderly gentleman who
has recently appeared and who is walk
ing about with a melancholy air, quite
alone. Plutarch approaches the

"Will you explain to me what is the
matter with all these people here? They
avoid me as if l were one Of the unjust,
and when | go toward them they turn
their backs, whispering: He is the man
who murdered Sleep"
perhaps that is because of the night
raids on sleeping cities. There are
some contrarious spirits here who dis
approve of that innovation, and some
even who think it criminal But let me
