Such were the two torches which lit
up his spiritual life. and whose gleam
was so real to him that have seen
him abandon himself-a rare occur
rence-to his twofold emotion in the
course of patriotic and religious cere-
mony.

day. At the open-air mass. celebrated
on the race course, while those present

Almost Apologies.
A few months later for the first
time. at the close of a banquet while
the guests were chanting the "Marseil-
laise," saw the marshal cry with them,
"Allons, enfants de la patrie AN ex-
traordinary act on his part, for which
he half apologized ITO sing a full
throated 'Marseillaise' in Alsace, when
formerly one was forbidden even to hum
it know no greater pleasure!"
That day his face was TRANSPORTED
by the most noble Joy. and could read
in it the true and sincere expression of
his spirit, and pierce the mystery in
which he too jealousy wrapped himself.
"Once, my motto was knowledge and
conscience. I still keep 1t today, but
now say, rather, conscience and knowl-
edge. Yes, conscience first, for that Is
what matters more"
Each year the marshal broke off his
holidays to go and make his annual

Simple Gesture Barred Grief.
Before it the marshal uncovered and
knelt. For a long moment he would
remain rapt In prayer, with no sign
but shaking of the head. This ges-
ture, at once simple and significant
token of his grief in the presence of
what could not be healed. was deeply
human in its unaffectedness. moving in
its simplicity, and, coming from such a
man In such a place, more eloquent than
any words of sorrow.
His only son, young man of IS, fell
there. There he lies, not divided from
his fellows in arms. The conqueror of
the war has not even been able to re-
cover his relics.
Neither Of his son nor of his son-in-
law did one ever hear him speak. The
day he heard of their deaths-he was
at Chalons-he asked simply that he
should be left alone for while, and
stayed shut up in his Office for half an
hour Then calling back his officers,
