ARIZONA SMITH IN CONGRESS

A shout of joy went up all over
washington when it was known that
Mark Smith was coming back. For
twenty-five years, barring Q. couple OF
terms when the Territory of Arizona
had the bad taste not to reflect him,
he was one of the landmarks of Wash.
ington. And when he took his seat
in the senate every member knew II
would not take him long to make An
iona a power in that body. for his
position in Washington has long been
established.
A territorial delegate occupies the
position of a small boy, who must be
seen and not heard. Mark Smith was
the sole exception. He ranked with
Amos J. Cummings and Private John
A. Allen, and his cloakroom stories
we're classics. Tall, grizzled, red
faced, with big gray mustache and
a kindly drawl, an unquenchable
sense of humor, the delegate was a
better-knowp and more familiar figure
than many senator.

determined and widespread persecution was
two thousand.
When the Christians split up into sects
and began to make savage war upon one
another, as they did within few years after
Christ, they spread blood and carnage all
over the Eastern provinces of the Roman
Empire.
Later on, will describe these atrocities at
length.
When the Roman Catholics set up the
Inquisition in Italy, the Netherlands and in
Spain, they tortured to death, starved and
burned more Christians in one year than the
Roman emperors ever destroyed.
Torquemada, alone, burned at the stake as
many Christians as persisted in the one great
persecution Of pagan Rome:~
Nero sewed up Christians in canvas sacks
which were covered with pitch. Swift flames
put the martyrs to death.
But Nero did not roast Christians over
slow fires, as Roman Catholics afterwards
did.
Nor did Nero construct terrible torture
chambers, and fearful instruments of torture,
to prolong and intensity to the utmost the
agonies Of the Christian martyrs as Roman
Catholics afterwards did throughout the
European world.

Xenia had died instantly But Alexis, who
had taken her life SO surely, fingered on. The
police were sent for and took him to the
prison hospital.
How long can I live?" he asked the doc
tors They told him he would not last more
than few hours.
"Thank God / shall soon meet her" he
gasped, and then swooned.
After an hour he regained consciousness
and asked for the surgeon who had gone to
the nunnery garden. To him he told the
story of his return from the Far East and his
fatal fight with Xenia. Her name was on
his lips when he crossed into the beyond.

the house for advice. Many men came that
way sick who had been through Mukden.
Some had known Alexis, but none knew what
was his end.
At Easter she took the black veil. Thereby
she vowed herself to the nunnery for life.
Among the worshippers shat day was pale
young soldier, wearing colonel's uniform.
He looked as though he had been through
fearful hardships. AS Xenia came forward
to take the veil he dropped down in faint.
1t was Alexis
He had been captured by some of the wild
tribes of Mukden, and had been a prisoner
for years. Escaping from the verge of death
many times, he at last recovered enough to be
able to plan an escape. But it took long
time, for his tormentors had carried him far
into the interior. At last, on reaching Sara
tof city, he heard of Xenia's entry to the
nunnery and fastened thither, but arrived
too late to stay the decisive step.
After great difficulty he managed to obtain
speech with her. Xenia was overwhelmed
when she heard his story and at length agreed
to fly with him. Alexis had inherited money
from a relative and they felt they could defy
the holy synod and 90 live across the seas,
where none dare touch them.
Sister Xenia left the nunnery to visit sick
woman near by and did not return for YES
pers The prioress, suspecting nothing, sent
a lay-sister to help her, but she returned to
say that Sister Xenia had not been there.
AS matter of fact she had changed her
nuns dress in the woman's house. The prlo
ress found it out and gave chase. In few
hours she found her rebellious nun in an inn
some miles from the nunnery. With prior
from neighboring monastery, the princess
tackled the fugitiyes, whose carriage had
broken down in the terrible roads. They
threatened her with the most terrible punish
ments Of the holy synod unless she returned.
Monks came to help, and the girl was literally
torn from her lover and taken back to the
nunnery.
But Alexis would not give her up. He dis
guised himself as poor pilgrim and went to
the nunnery again. After some time he was
able to speak to her. She said the prioress
made her go up and down all the steps In the
nunnery on her knees and forced her to sleep
on the bare stones. For food she was given
bread and water. Finding she could not bare
the smell of tallow they gave her all the can

ance. She wore hair shirt next to her skin
and was sternly told she must do double duty
among the sick till she said she repented of
her flight. But Sister Xenia declared that she
would never repent. She had gone into the
nunnery because she was sure Alexis lived no
more. Now, she loved him more passionately
than ever, and could only repent that she had
ever entered the nunnery
She and Alexis now planned a second flight.
They were to escape at night this time. Local
roads make motors impossible, but he would
get two splendid horses so that they could ride
the couple of versts to the city Thence,
special train would take them to the frontier,
away at Eidl1und, nearly two days journey.
They would go thence to Hamburg and sail
for New York
Bold as this plan seemed to Xenia, it had
every chance Of success. Her flight would
not be known till daybreak next morning.
The prioress could not have her pursued on
the railway without obtaining special permits
sion from the Holy Synod, which would
take several days. The worst difficulty was
the special train. It had to be hired under
a false name, and the arrangements took lot
of time and lying. But at last all was ready.
Alexis told Xenia she could steal from her cell
that night after midnight prayers. He had
bribed the doorkeeper to leave small door
In the chapel open so she could slip out unob-
served. !
They did not know they were already
betrayed. There was Sister Vera in the next
cell to Xenia's She had suspected the beg
gar to whom Xenia always had something to
say. She listened unseen, one day, and learned
enough to discover new plot was afoot. Off
she sped to the prloress, who gave her every
facility for eayesdropping. Vera soon learned
the whole plan. The prioress, anxious to
catch the lovers IN the very act of escaping,
as public opinion had been whispering against
her treatment of Xenia let them mature their
plans.
She then asked the prior Of the neighbor-
ing Saratof monastery to lend her dozen
strong lay brothers. They were hidden in
bushes under the garden wall. Xenia came
out Alexis, a rope ladder in hand, awaited
her at the bottom of the garden. The prio-
ress unknown to her nuns, had been hiding
near by for an hour. Xenia, covered with a
cloak her lover had brought, was on the top Of
the wall and Alexis was about to climb the
ladder, when a loud whistle startled them
both. 1t was the signal for the watchers.
The lay brothers sprang forward and first
seized Alexis and then Xenia, who was first
to see. her prioress. Alexis struggles wildly,
but he was one to six
Cali is over" cried Xenia "They will
never let me go now. But if you love me
kill me before they take me back to that
awful life Of torture"
Alexis asked for parley with the prior
ess. 1t was granted. The prioress said no
power in Russia could move her decision to
make Xenia keep her vows. She had the
Holy Synod and even the Gar behind her.
Alexis offered half his fortune in charity, but
it was refused
''Well," he said when he saw no argument
available. II must give in. But let me say
goodbye to Xenia."
