 The kidnapper puts the boy Of the tabernacle, little Tosselle, into the mil- itary mill through prisons and tor lures, almost martyrdom, the little stu- dent of the Talmud is dragged and beaten, till he reaches the cruel hands of his military custodian, Alyosha. There he meets fate in the form of radiantly beautiful maiden, Olga. Olga is the daughter of an advanced serI- freer, Colonel Bogolinboff and his half- Tartar wife.
 In tn9 peasant homo in spite of bru- tality both the child ot the nobility and the child of the Synagogue grow 10 love nature and her simple ways. grow to love truth and simplicity. Tn spite of all social ties little Tosselle had been gradually influenced by his sur roundings and had unnecessarily im- bibed some of the habits, modes or thinking, the tranquil contentment or the simple minded peasant. Al tne present moment all he wished for was a scanty cottage, with cooing doves, buzzins beehives, even growing roos- ters, and barking dogs-just like other peasants. Man at best is only child of circumstances and environment. Tosselle received the baptisnal name Parel and true always to Duty he con- verts the cruel and superstitious peas ant guardian.

It Is a very desire for universal peace and freedom that binds the revolution ists of Russia together. But 1t is cry of Peace, Peace. where there is no peace.
 All Tosselle's devotion to duty but brings him to a lie for love sake, and death for the loved one. Over all the bitter story is the trail of the spy, of rottenness in high places and treach- cry below, of tyranny and anarchistic
 
 Olga for each other, for candor, for purity, for devotion even until death illumines the dark pages.
