H died at dawn in the land OF SHOWS,
priest at the len, priest at the right;
The doomed man praying for hispitilessfoes,
And each priest holding low tiim light
To pray for the soul OF the dying,
But Windsor Castle was far away;
And Windsor Castle was never SCI gay,
With her gorgeous banners filing.
Tie hero was hung in the windy dawn
Twas spledidly done, the telegraph said !;
A creak OF the neck, then the shoulders
drawn;
A heave Of the breast-snd the man hung
dead.
And oh. never such valient dying!
And Windsor Castle was never so gay,
With its fops and its fools on that windy
day,
And its thousand banners flying.
Some starving babes, where the stark stream
flows
Twixt windy banks by an indian town
A frenzied mother in the freezing SHOWS,
While softly the pitying snow comes down
To cover the dead and the dying;
But Windsor Castle seemed never so
.s gay
She was sowing red dragons teeth that

While Gods four winds went flying!

Three years did krapotkine pass in
the cells of the fortress of st. Peter and
st. Paul. Insthe early part of 1876, he
was transferred by the doctors orders
to the st. Nicholas Hospital, the prison
having undermined his health, never
very good, to such an extent, that he
could neither eat nor move about. He
walked with the step of dying man
he spoke in a low voice, as if merely to
open the mouth was a painful effort.
The cause was very simple. He learned
through a letter sent to him by his
friends, that an attempt was being or
ganizsd to effect his escape, and as in the
hospital the surveillance was much less
strict than in the fortress, it was essen
tial to prolong his stay there.
In July of the year 1875 this escape
was effected in accordance with plan
drawn up by Krapotkine himself.
Some weeks afterwards Krapotkine
was already abroad
From this period his true Revolutions
ary activity dates. Although not con-
nected with the Russion movement, be-
ing exclusively devoted to European So
cialism, it was perhaps the only means
of displaying his eminent political quail
ties in their true light. His great gifts
specially qualified him for activity in
the vast public arena, and not in theu
derground regions of the Secret Socie-
ties.
He is wanting in that fexibility OF
mind, and that faculty of adapting him
self to the conditions of the moment,
and of practical life, which are indis-
penssble to conspirator. He is an ar
dent searcher after truth, founder OF
q school, and nota practical man. He
endeavors to make certain ideas prevail,
at all cost, and not to attain a practical
end by turning everything tending to ii
to account.
Krapotkine's natural element is war
on a grand scale, and not guerrilla fight
ing. He might become the founder Of a
vast Social movement, if the condition
Of the country permitted.
he is an incompatible agitator.

The day after the young mans death
Krapotkine's house was surrounded by
the police, while he was caring for his
suffering wife, who had become very i'll
and distracted on account of her
brothers death, and the circumstances
which surrounded that sad affair. Kra
potkine was arrested, and although be
begged to be allowed foreman two days
to bury his dead brother-in-law and com
fort his stricken wife. he was hurried off
to Lyons by the officers. On his arrival
at Lyons he was committed to st. Paul
prison on two charges: First, of having
been connected with an association be-
tween Frenchmen and foreigners, whose
objects are social upheaval, and whose
methods are assassination and lillage !;
second, Of having been the chief insti-
gator and organizer ofthis association in
France, and especially Of having visited
Lyons to foment revoltfin secret meet
ings.
OF the ridiculous allegations upon
which these charges are based the fol-
lowing are fair specimens First, that
Krapotkfne, replying to a young man Of
st. Etlenne who had urged him to start
the revolution, said that the time was
not vet ripe !, second, that he wrote to q
committee of workingmen, who had in
vited him to attend a private reunion,
that he could not give his presence at
any public meeting; third, that he wrote
to the Droit Social declining to become a
contributor to that journal fourth, that

quested him to point out whatever mate

ary, 1884, Krapotkine, broken in health
and greatly aged by his close confne-

This step on the part Of the authorities
was necessary to save the life of their
victim, or prolong it to the completion
