Wilson regards the same appearance as the most complete evidence of its untruthfulness. But we have been anxious to discover some more definite and substantial grounds for Mr. Wilson's hypothesis. In a couple of closely-printed pages, devoted to the subject, he asks himself, again and again, the questions, "Who, then, was Bernal Diaz?" "Who, then, wrote the history of Bernal Diaz?"

He faced her proudly, with the big, honest, clumsy dignity of a rugged man and there was a loving quiet in his tones that touched her ineffably. "Poor Bernal had told me his his contretemps.
