Louis Reybaud, novelist by profession, economist on occasion, breveted by the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences for his anti-reformatory caricatures, and become, with the lapse of time, one of the writers most hostile to social ideas, M.

They, always give him the title with which he had been breveted at the close of the war; but he was known to the younger, generation of his fellow-citizens as the judge.

He was made Lieutenant Colonel January 1, 1865, and Colonel of the 191st Ohio Infantry in the succeeding March.

"I, too," she said softly. "You? Thirty?" "No, only twenty-four; but your peer in experience." "Your voice sounds Southern," he said in his pleasant voice, inviting confidence. "Yes; my home was at Sandy River."
When the aviator enters one of these schools he is a breveted pilot, and he is allowed a little more freedom than he enjoyed during the time he was learning to fly. He now takes up the Morane monoplane. It is interesting to note that the German Fokker is practically a copy of this machine.
