From the rands of the Russian revolu-
tionists but two figures have emerged into
world wide attention since the present
rioting began in st. Petersburg. One Of
these Is a priest Father Gopon, and the
other an author, Alexei Maximovitch
Pyeshkoff known to the world under his
pen name of Maxim GorlSy.
With Gopon in hiding, debating the Inn
mediate moves of the revolutionary cam
paign through secret emlssaries, Gorky
has remained in the open sending his
words of encouragement and advice to
the strikers broadcast. According to cable
advice Gorky is in constant consultation
with the revolutionary leaders and has
made himself a notable figure in the
larger policies of the insurgent move
ment.
Gorky was born In Mini Novgorod In
1868, his father having been an uphol-
sterer from Perm. The father taught the
son to read by means of prayer book,
and after the death of both parents
Gorky was apprenticed to a shoemaker by
his grandfather. Tired of cobbling, Gorky
became an apprentice to a draughtsman,
and later to painter of scriptural pic
lures. Then he became scullion of
Volga river steamer, where the cook pro-
cured for him a copy of the lives of the
saints and the writings of Gogol, Dumas
and Uspensky, together with some of the
propaganda pamphlets Of the Free Ma
sons.
In his fifteenth year, hungry for greater
educational opportunities, Gorky went to
Kazan, where there was a university.
Here he found that education was not
free, and he went to work In a bakery
at S1.50 a month. Thus deprived of food
for his body, Gorky contemplated suicide.
He made his way to Tzaritzyn, however,
and secured work a railroad Waterman.
He successfully attempted half dozen
other means of making a living and
finally, while working In the railroad
shops at Tifis, published his first story.
''Kavkas," the publisher being a local
newspaper In Mini Novgorod again,
Gorlky met Vladimir Korolenko, an author
of repute, from whom he learned much
His short stories began to attract at
| tention and his fame soon spread through
out Russia.
During his wanderings Gorky had done
more or less PROSECUTING in the cause of
constitutional liberty, and when literary
success came to HIN he became moe en-
ergetic in his ~,rx among the to.ling
masses. In fact his activity in this line
landed him in Jail seven or eight times.
| Gorky's first book was 'Foma Gordy-
ceff." On its publication the French crit
les took him up as a new literary star and
declared him to be the logical successor
of Count Tolstoi. FIONA" was picture
lifted out of the squalid human setting
that had environed the author in his
early roamings and his critics united in

For several years Gorky has been openly
allied with the revolutionary cause, and,

severe punishment at the hands of the
