the members of the circle into one
whole, fence it off from other circles.
1t was noticed that Shobuyev did not
want to tie himself with these cords,
and that he even insolently and sneer-
ingly attempted to tangle or tear them.
And this irritated everybody against
him. but at the same time made him
all the more interesting in their eyes.
Even outwardly he at once attracted
attention. He was a man of 80, of midi

vara Vasileyevna, and his refusal to
talk about Shebuyev was taken as a
manifestation of jealousy, although the
relation of Malinin toward the architect
could hardly admit such an interpreta-
ton. Malinin met Shebuyev almost
every day, he came to his house, and
they frequently went out for a walk.
And Shebuyev treated. him more ten
derly and kindly than he treated 9TH
ers, and speaking with him he even
lowered his voice.
Aside from Malinin and those whose
names have already been mentioned,
there were several other men belonging
tc Varvara Vasilyvna's intimate circle.
One of them. Philip Nikolayevich
Khrebtov, presented remarkably curl
Gus figure. TALL stooping, with
crooked legs and badly pock-marked
face, he was very shortsighted. His
gold eyeglasses evidently helped him
but little, and he used to stretch his
head forward, which. together with his
bent body and the fixed look of his
motionless light eyes. produced a very
queer impression. 1t seemed as
though he saw in the distance some-
thing very tempting, something which
drew him toward it, and he wanted to
jump into that distance.
Khrebtov treated Shebuyev at first
with great attention and curiosity.
Listening to his words, he used to bend
forward still lower and move his
fingers still more quickly. But soon
there appeared something which he did
not like in Shebuyev, and everybody
noticed 1t at once-he stopped listening
to Shebuyev. Naturally he was asked
what II was.
Perhaps l am mistaken. l am a
poor psychologist" said Khrebtov i'm a

fore his eyes sank quite deep into their
orbits. His long, hooked nose bent in
elegantly to his light colored mustache,
and this, together with his thick lower
lip, gave his face a sarcastic and un-
pleasant expression. But his brisk,
flashing eyes embellished somewhat
this clumsy face, and when he smiled
he assumed a good natured, wise eX-
preston, but this again seemed rather
condescending. He spoke loudly and
confidently, accompanying and empha-
sizing his words with stiff gestures OF
his long hands, and his voice was OF
an indefinite timbre, as though it had
not yet developed. Altogether every
thing about him seemed unfinished.
clumsy. He dressed in very costly cos
tunes made of strong stuff, Comforta-
BILE in every way, they were distin-
guished for the manifest disregard of
style. Now he appeared in a long coat,
buttoned up to the very collar, which
looked like a military uniform; now
his broad figure was robed in something
similar to an Austrian short coat. And
this especially irrtated some people.
IF he is really original" said our
wise and judicious DR.. Kropotov, then
why emphasize this also by his cos
tune? And since he wants to attract
attention even by mis- outward appear
ance, why shouldn't he dress all in RED
or in blue?"
The doctor had a great stock of ad-
jectives, and when he began to define
something he covered the subject with
them as with bricks AS the doctor was
liberal man, in addition to his qual-
fications. he considered 1t his duty TO
attend the Saturdays of Varvara Vasil-
yevna Lublmov.
Around this woman the most inter-
esting people of the town gathered in a
small, intimate circle, and she enjoyed
among them genuine consideration. A
midwife by speciality, she had also
studied abroad brought from there a
doctors diploma, but she did not prac-
tiee as physician. This diploma. how
ever, made it possible for her to deliver
course Of lectures on hygiene at the
local female gymnasium and at the
Sunday school. This had been arranged
by the governors wife. with whom she
was on friendly terms, and partly ner-
haps, also because there was something
irresistible about her. which disposed
everybody in her favor. Well educated,
working and unassuming, She possessed
that healthy Russian beauty which is
met with nowadays but rarely. which
is for some reason or other whitening
away from generation to generation.

She would listen to him and suddenly,
comically pouting her lips, she would
sniff, rise from her seat and demon
stratively go away from him to the
furthest corner.
But one day heated argument as to
the role of the intelligent class sprang
up in Varvara Vasilyevna's house be-
tween the little old woman and the
doctor. The doctor said to her, with an
imposing air:
I'VE all, my esteemed Tatyana Niko-
layevna. must stand firmly on guard
by the best laws, the sacred laws of the
past--we must guard the heritage of
the epochs of great reforms"
Like policemen at the crossroads,
yes? Like wooden posts. yes?" Tatyana
Nikolayevna foamed, f1ourshing her
little hands, "Oh, what a spiritful, what
a great, heroic role! You ought to be
ashamed of yourself. doctor!"
Pavel Ivanovich Malinin. the young
physician who introduced Shebuyev to
Varvara Vasilyena, knew him as a
student. Shebeyev had studied medi-
cine together with him, but he left the
second course and went over to the
Institute of Civil Engineering. At that
time he kept away from his colleagues
and was considered queer fellow. 1t
was known that he managed to live by
giving lessons and that he often
starved, but he never applied for aid
to any Of the students or to any char
ity organization.
II remember" said Malinin. "that
Shebuyev was peasant, that after he
had finished his course at school he
ran off to the city. He was in dire
distress, but he managed somehow to
prepare himself for the examinations,
and finally entered the university.

n UT of the darkest depths of life,
where vice and crime and mis-
cry abound, came the singer of
the vagabond and the proletariat, the
novelist of the Russian people, Aleksey
Maksimovich Pyeshkov, known to the
whole world by his pen name, Maxim
'Gorki" Cork" is the Russian word
for bitter, and one can easily surmise
the keynote Of his writings. Cork was
born thrty-flve years ago in Nizhnee-
Novgorod, the capital of the province
of the same name some three hundred
miles east Of Moscow at the confluence
of the Okla river with the Volga. Nizh-
lnee-Novgorod is most prominent for its
great annual fair, which attracts hun
dreds of thousands of people from ali
parts of Russia.
The son of a poor upholsterer, Gorki
was thrown upon his own resources at
the age of 9. and since then he has eX-
perienced all sorts of troubles and de-
pravity and misery. Shoemaker, apple
Nender, ikon painter, dockhand, railroad
guard, baker and tramp-these are but

unique man before he began to write
During his trampings by the Volga he
more than once attempted to take his
own life. And now he stands in the
shadow of death in the fortress of
Petropaviosk, with the eyes of the
whole civilized world fixed upon him.
Under the guidance Of Vladimir Ko-
gan to depict the life he knew so well,
and within a short time his stories
took Russia by storm. Cork at once
became the idol of the Russian youth
and the workmen as we'll as the peas
ants love him and read him-and those
that cannot read themselves get their
more fortunate friends to read to them
his stories.
When a Nizhnee-N -Novgorod newspaper
printed some time ago a brief news
item to the effect that Gorki's health
was failing and that it was believed
he had consumption, thousands of peas
ants from the remotest parts of the en-
pire sent him various herbs to cure him
OF the white plague.
Gorkl became an exponent of a new
school of Russian literature, and among
his followers are almost all the gifted
younger Russian writer's, such as An
dreyer, Skitaletz, Bunia and ChirikoV-
Goki has written two novels "Forma
Godyieff" and THE Three" and three
volumes of short stories. Several rev.
olutionary articles and poems by him
We're published in Germany. THE Peas
ant" which promised to be one of his
very best stories, appeared in the Rus
sian magazine Zhizn, which was later
suppressed. 1.-The Peasant" remained
unfinished. During the last four years
Gorki has published three plays, but he
has devoted most of his time to the
revolutionary movement. Now that all
eyes are centered on this remarkable
young Russian, it will be particularly
interesting to have the following most
characteristic extracts from his unfn-
ished novel, The Peasant" for the first
time in English.

voice was SOFT but she spoke but little,

THE PEASANT

TN PROVINCIAL towns all intelli-
gent people know one another, and
when a new figure appears in their
midst it brings with it perfectly nat
ural animation. At first everybody is
glad, everybody makes much of the
newcomer; they sound him more or less
cautiously to see whether there is any
thing peculiar about him, and doing
this they often scratch him a little.
Then, If the man lends himself easily
TO a definition he is defined by a GER
tain word and-the deed is done. The
new figure enters the circle of local
interests and becomes one Of their own,
and if he will not be carried away
by the local interests he will feel lone
some and perhaps begin to drink. be-
come thorough drunkard-and no one
will interfere with him in this.

nobody liked him at first. People
