prove their fitness to occupy their
seats before a special tribunal of the
assembly. Only six asSemblymen
voted In their favor.

Though the reds are having such a
difficult time in America, as much
cannot be said concerning Russia.
Over there they are sweeping ahead in
Il way that is most disheartening to
their antagonists. The soviet troops
have smashed their way through the
armies of Denikine and reached the
Sea of Azov at TaganrOg, and are
pushing ahead both east and west
with prospect of soon being in full
control of all of southern Russia. Al
ready they are threatening Odessa and
reports from Moscow say the peO-
pie Of Odessa are fleeing, though
other dispatches assert they are
preparing to defend their city.
In their progress eastward the boil
shevlsts are said TO have taken the i'm
portant railroad town Of Krasn0vedsk
on the Caspian, and this, If true, will
open to them the way to north Persia.
the reds will be able to overcome the
small British forces in Persia and the
poorly organized native troops and
seize Tehcran, after which they might
obtain control Of the entire country.
1t is considered likely, also, that the
bolshevists will capture Baku on the
Caspian, the great oil center.
The one setback which the soviet
armies sustained was in the west

keynote was the drab-brown of the
conventional cheap boarding house

carelessly out of half-open drawer.

was Morella herself, red-gold hair en-
dowed by nature, sea-blue eyes set he
meath thoughtful brow; a large,
sweet mouth that always smiled-oft-

weariness-a tiny mite of Morella,
who could dance like an elf on the
brim of the magic fountain. and who
could sing cheerily in the dull room as
she sewed spangles on gossamer elfin
wings that she must wear that night.
Heavy footsteps sounded outside her
door, and she heard the plaintive voice
Of her landlady.

sighed the sigh of the neophyte.

blazed defiance.
