REDS OF "a YEARS AGO

| chy. pure. simple and red, is the greatest
this country has ever known.
There have been sporadic outbursts in the
past. with bomb throwing. homicide and all
tho other accompanying terrors of the god
less creed. Philadelphia has been sngulary
free from these orgies of crime, though for
years it has been the abiding place of the
| brain twisted degcneratcs who doubtless,
plotted many of the deeds which have been
credited to their cult
The latest recrudesccncc numbers among
its apostles Russians and Italians particu
larH. with few 1lungaraus. Spaniards and
Americans trailing along behind. In other
days Germans and Poles. mainly, worshped
at its shrine. But the world changes, and
with it the complexty Of nationalities that
go to makeup the membership in the broth
crhood of blood and unrest.
THIRTY -FOUR years ago the leaders of
l. the school of anarchy, then known as
nihfism to the Russian. anarchism to the
English and American and the International
Arbcitcr Association to the Germans. esti
mated there were 2OO0 of their kind in Phila-
dclphia. This was in 1885.
The laws then were less rcprcssive and
drastic than those of today which perhaps
accounts Tor the tact mat u newspaper dcdl-
Gated to the purpose of disseminating the
peculiar propaganda of the tcrrorists was
published here at 214G North Second strlct
Its editor was one Henry Grau
The high priests of the goddess. un-
shavon and unwashcd were the then notori-
Gus Johann Most and .Iustus Schwab. Both
were Germans. The editor of the Philadel-
phia organ of the International Arbeiter
Association was likewise German
For years Most was under police sur
veillance in New York. He was arrested
periodically, and upon one occasion sought
to evade capture by donning female apparel
and hiding under bed.
THERE has always been well grounded
l. suspicion that Herr Most was blood
thirsty bluff. He was never really closely
identified with any particularly diaboical
proceeding set in motion by his scatter
Drained followers.
He had an easy living off his dupcs. He
would occasionally froth in public though
his vociferations came finally to be regarded
as calculated outbursts. timed for nOturety
when his bank account was getting low.
True to their class .the anarchists of that
generation printed their datribes against
civilization in red ink When they were
particularly vicious the sanguinary hue ap-
preached a bright scarlet.
Every member of the organization. for
purposes of identification, was supposed to
carry visiting card like the following:

FAIRIES

UNDERNEATH the beech trees,
- Lights and shadows glancing,
Surely there are fairies
In the sun-spots dancing!
Underneath the beech trees,
Underneath and in them,
Wait host of fairies,
Wait for you to win them.
Fairies they are quick folk;
Never may you bind them;
But underneath the beech trees
You can always find them.

She takes up her abode with other Americans in an old house in Marie. l. is in the Streets of Seven Stars" One of those abandoned characters styled Apaches insults Harmony. Dr. Peter Byrne young American surgeon who lives in the old house in the street, comes to her rescue and handles the Apache roughly. The doctor then and there lays his heart at her feet, but she reminds him that they both have careers.
 The three meet later in a lonely cabin in the Alps, where Harmony and Dr. Byrne have taken refuge after being lost in a snowstorm. The Apache has fled to the mountains to escape arrest for murder There is a des- perate fight in which the doctor again triumphs. Harmony, Dr. Byrne and Dr. Anna Gates, an American special ist, are living later in the old house in the street.
