There are souls in the world who have the gift of finding joy everyâ€" where. and of leaving it behind them when they go. Joy gushes from unâ€" der their fingers like jets of light. Their influence is an inevitable gladâ€" dening of the heart, It seems as if a. shadow of God’s own gift had passed upon them. They give light without meaning to shine. These bright hearts have a great work to do for God. Gossiping dowagers, who predicted dire misery for Whomsoever she might marry, have been amazed to see her assume a stately position as amatron in society. To be hidden to her days at homes. to her literary iuncheons or to her dinners is to be more honored than to receive the invitation of a duchess. To her gladly come the great men and the most brilliant and beauti- ful women of the time, and her home is a. center for the learned, the witty and the famous. Yet her own mom- plishments are few. She speaks several languages and is widely read. but that is all. As the eleventh child of Sir Charles Tennant she (received a goodly portion at her marriage, but no great fortune‘ In a. roomful of beautiful women she is almost insignificant. Her husband will probably never be prime minister and he is far from a million- aire, and yet Mrs. Asquith is by right of her wit. her quick sympathy, her courage and her candor the woman in London who commands a. position duchesses might envy and wields an influence that few princesses know. In time the newspapers came to ser- iously Chl'onicle the doings of Mi=s Margot Tennant as they would those of the queen and the prime minister. and when the irate conservatives in society were at end of all patience with this gay. clever. sarcastic little Phillis- tine, she overturned all their predic- tions by giving her hand in marriage to one of the ablest and most serious young politicians, Mr. Asquith. As if to prove the infinite variety of her talents. Mrs. Asquith settled down at once to the duties of wifehood and motherhood and showed as marked a capacity for these gu‘aver ceilings as for the lightest frivollties. However that may be, Miss Margot Tenn-mt was invariably pointed out Lostrangers as the protege of the grand old man. and as the woman who dared fly in the face of all the most sacred traditions on which the [British maid- en modeled her department. The Britâ€" ish matron held up her hands in hor- ror and fought for her old prerogatives but Miss Tennant won the day and gained a. social freedom for the young people of her sex and position that had never been known before in London society. For a number of seasons she fairly held the reins in her own hands. and fearful was the end predicted for her by the gossips. She was the creat- or of semi-mystic, semi~literary society called the “Souls.” and, with Mr. Arth- ur Balfour as her lieutenant in the movement. she gathered some of the beef. minds in England about her. She was perhaps the only woman with the exception of his wife and daughters, with whom he loved to talk. whom he admitted to his library whi.e he worked and to Whose opinions and ideas he listened with pleasure and reâ€" spect. She was always treated for more like a daughter than a guest at‘Ha- warden. both by the great man and his wife. and all the more interesting is this association when one considers not only the vast disoarity between their ages, but between this grave statesman and the most frivolous young lady in London society. "Dodo" undoubtedly made Miss Tenâ€" nant's name known for and wide, but for all that it ludicrously misrepreâ€" sented her and failed to do justice to the true abilities of this really remark- able young woman in whose name can be put forward several claims to con- sideration. First and foremost. Mrs, Asquith was one of the very few wo- men outside the circle of his own near- est ieminine relatives to whom Glad- stone gave a. truly beautiful friendship and deVotion. The leader of London society toâ€"day the woman most talked of and envied and admired. is neither titled nor very beautiful ; she does not possess wealth to distinguish her above her contemâ€" poraries and she achieved her place as a. leader when she was swrcely 21- This unusual young woman is Mrs. Asquith. much better known by her maiden n‘lme of Tennsxnt, for Miss Max- got Tennant was easily recognized in the heroine of that book of short-lived celebrity, "Dodo," when it appeal"ed some years ago and created a mild senâ€" sation.

Alfred Dreyfus was a captain at- tached to the Fourteenth Regiment of Artillery of France, and was detailed to duty at the Ministry of War in Paris. He was a. Jew, and religious animosity early entered into the case. The speâ€" cific charge against Captain Dreyfus was that he had sold to Germany for 500,000 francs. $96,500, information re- garding the French army. The proof offered was a letter without date or signature. said to be in the handwritâ€" ing of the accused captain, containing alist of five other documents relating to secret details of the French service. and alleged to have been seen with it.

It was examined by experts in handwriting. Two of them thought that it had been written by Capt. Dreyfus. Three others thought it was an imitation. The only other evidence against Capt. Dreyfus was the statement of Commandant Du Paty de Clam. that when he had examined the prisoner he noticed iaoial moveâ€" ments that indicated guilt. ers.

The second trial took place in May, and the same sentence All the while Emile Zola haul taken a. great interest in the Dreyfus (use, and at the close of the Esterhazy trial wrote his famous J'accuse, an open let- ter to President Fame. It was pubâ€" lished in the Aurora, and Zola and M. Ped‘reux. the publisher, were arrested, They were tried last February at the Seine Assises for criminally libeling‘ the officers of the Esterhazy court martial, and incidentally the officers of the Dreny court martial. Each was sentenced to a. year's imprison- ment and a. fine of 3,000 francs. Esterhazy was subjected to a secret enquiry lasting several weeks, than wan tried by court~martial and ac- quitted. A beautiful wdventuress also was said to have been used as goâ€"between and a catspaw by the blackmailers. Her house was the resort of several French officers and foreign diplomats. It was alleged that Dreyfus bad callâ€" ed at; her house several times by inviâ€" tation. and there a plan for the mobi- lization of troops in aelever imitan tion of his handwriting was produced. Captain Dreyfus, it was said, refused to pay the sum demanded, knowing it would be an admission of his guilt and would furnish grounds for further ex- tortion; ‘ Last November. the excitement in Paris reached fever heat from the fact that M. Scheurerâ€"Kestner, vice-presi- ‘dent of the French Senate, had exâ€" pressed his firm conviction of Dreyâ€" fus’ innocence. and declared that his conviction was a judicial error. M. Scheurerâ€"Kestner further declared that a, rich and titled officer, well known in Paris society, had been re- quested to resign in consequence of the continued leaking of military se- crets since the imprisonment of Drey~ fus. He also declared that this officer was the author of the unsigned letter or bordereau whiiuhl led to Dreyfus’ conâ€" demnation. This man was Count Ferdinand \‘Valâ€" sin Esterhazy, formerly a. major in the French infantry. Others took the matter up among them Mathieu Dreyâ€" fus a. brother of the captain, and Parisl wusagain stirred to the core. It was‘ charged that Ureyius, being of Hebrew extraction, the plot was concocted as a blackmailing scheme against him in 1893!. when an antiâ€"Semitic movement swept over Europe. Dreyfus and his wife both being wealthy, it was charged that the documents .were {0%ng in order to bleed him and his “'1 e. Persistent efforts have been made to reâ€"open the case. The Government has always held it to be a chose jugee, taking the ground that any revision was an impeachment of the honor of the army. The wife of Captain Dreyâ€" fus pleaded with the Czar of Russia. the Pope, Franz Josef of Austria, Emperor William and the King of Greece to intercede for her. They did, but without avail. for the French Chamber of Deputies refused to reâ€" open the case. This pressure, howâ€" ever. had the effect of causing Gen. Meroier, the Minister of \Var, who was largely responsible for the bring- ing to trial of Dreyfus, to make some disclosures in regard to the secret court martial. Through the newsâ€" papers he described the letter which Colonel Henry now admits forging as proof conclusive of Dreyfus' guilt. Dreyfus' imprisonment began in the fortress of the 116 de Re, off th ecoast of France but this was too near home. and he was taken to the He duDiahle. off the coast of French Guiana. The group to which it belongs is apenal colony, desolate and full of malaria.
