Nikolai to me. And let them see

And then next day the flight began.
The spectacle was pitiful. Men, wo-
men, children streamed out of the
prosecuted quarter toward the rail-
road station, crowding the compart-
ments of the carriages, herding to-
gether; some took oxen wagons across
the frontier; some walked. They left
their property to the plumber which
all anticipated; life was more pre-
cious still. But a strong residue re-
mained. And sometimes, from behind
barred windows, one saw dark, reso-
lutte faces or caught the quick CLINT of

The word had spread throughout
the district, he added, and everywhere
a nation would rise to free itself, and,
in freeing itself, to set free the coun-
try.
