Z. Morrow assumed the office of
Governor and she rushed back to
Kentucky to take up the fight in
her fathers behalf.
She proved to Governor Morrow's
satisfaction that her fathers health
was impaired, that he was past
seVenty-one years of age and, &C
cording to the laws of nature. he
had but few years at the most to
live. She wanted him to spend the
remainder of his days outside the
prison walls. She circulated another
petition, obtaining the signatures of
the judge who presided at the trial,
the commonwealth attorney, men,
bers Of the jury who brought in a
verdict Of guilty and scores of the
most prominent citizens of central
Kentucky. She succeeded in win
ming over the Governor in a per
sonal interview.
Then on Monday of last week the
Governor placed in her hand the
precious paper for which she had
been fighting so bravely.

Her two daughters, one sixteen
years old and the other eleven, are
also in this country.
Princess Cantacuzene was famous
as a young woman for her beauty.
She is strikingly handsome woman
with dark eyes and hair. She is un-
affected and genuine. Although she
was born an American she is abso-
lutely true to the country which
adopted her through her marriage.
Russia is my home," she said,
and / believe we shall return there.
1t may take several years for the
Bolshevik regime to wear out it's
power, but it cannot last. Then
think the country will follow the
evolution of France after the French
Revolution. There may be a dicta-
tor for time, but eventually the
government will be established
along the lines of republic, with
something of the same principles,
anyway. The old feudal system is
dead. The days Of monarchies are
past, but, of course, law and order
will be reestablished in time.

Made Good on a Job

Pride and independence kept her
from accepting the offers of finan-
cial assistance from scores of rela-
tlves and friends who would have
been glad to have come to her aid.
She rejected suitors for her hand.
She consulted lifelong friend of
her fathers, head Of life insurance
company. He told her that solicit
ing life insurance was a splendid
field for a girl, and she took his
advice and began work as an agent
for his company in central Ken
lucky. Here is where her former
good deeds, her sweet disposition
and her popularity were to serve
her we'll.
When it became known that
she was soliciting insurance many
friends did not wait for her to call
on them but voluntarily hunted her
up. Policy after policy, nearly all
for large sums, began to roll into

When the year was up it was as
certained that Miss Alexander had
sold more than 100000 of insur-
ance and was still rapidly adding
to that figure.

refused to believe the rumors. Her
confidence in her father, her best
friend since the death of her mother,
was absolute. Then came the ar
rest, trial and conviction. He was
sentenced to from seven years to
seventy years.
Although crushed in heart she
bore up bravely and began to fight
to save her father from prison. She
solicited the aid of friends and
found hundreds eager to help her.
Worked for Pardon
Following her fathers conviction
she laid out plan Of action and
began work in earnest. She circu-
lated a petition asking Governor
McCreary to issue pardon before
the incarceration of her father. Hun
dreds of signatures of the best citi-
zens were obtained, among them be-
ing many who had lost heavily
through failure Of the bank. They
could not refuse the appeal, backed
as it was by her earnestness, devo-
ton to and trust in her father, whom
she still believed innocent.
Those who signed it would re-
mark afterward:
"Well, / guess I should not have
signed it, but could not refuse Miss
Kate"
She personally took the document
to Governor McCreary, who also
yielded to her earnestness and
childlike belief in her father and
was on the point Of granting
her wish when politics took a hand
in the game and he was compelled
to refuse. And again and again the
courageous girl renewed her efforts,
only to met with defeat.

1.-THE unrest among certain groups

Russia before the Bolshevists took
control. But the fact that there are
so many educated persons among

that the same results could not be

about in Russia. At the same time
