wait too. I'll be back in a minute"
Lena had confidence in her prospec-

and that he could easily get 20 cents
more-the price of marriage cere-

minutes passed.
Suddenly the door swung open and

RUSS N|H|[|ST
LEADER DEAD
FRINGE Kropatkin, Socialist Chief
Of Royal Blood, Expires
After Stormy Career.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-Prince Kro-
patkin, the famous Russian revolu-
tionary leader, is dead, according to
information received here from
Moscow today.
Kropatkin was active in the rev.
olutionary councils in Russia for
many years before the war. He sup
ported the Kerensky socialist regime
after the overthrow Of the late Gar.
HAD A VARIED CAREER.
Prince Kropatkin was, in his time.
nihilist, aristocrat, socialist, anar-
chist, scientist, escaped prisoner,
social lion, lover of peace, revolution
of the people.
Son of one of the ancient ruling
houses of Russia, Prince Kropatkin's
blood was as good as the Cars, yet
his life was devoted to the spread of
nihilistic principles.
Trained amid the pomp Of the court
of st. Petersburg, he sacrificed a life
Of luxury and splendor to take up the
cause of the suffering Siberian exiles.
In the garb of a workingman he
preached the freedom of the people.
He was flung into prison, made an
escape as romantic and daring as
anything in fiction, and fled to Swift
zerland, whence he was expelled at
the request of the Russian govern
ment for founding a nihilist paper.
In the eighties he was tried for his
doctrines along with the notorious
Louise Michel and Atty others and
| imprisoned for five years. After his
release he lived in England and Hol-
land, contributing largely to scientific
and political literature. He knew
many languages, speaking them all
fiuently. and apart from his sociologi-
cal attempts he won fame as a geo.
grapher and explorer.
He was the author OF many socio-
| logical books, one of the best-known
being "The Conquest OF Bread" a de-
fense of Socialistic principles.
CLAssED AS SOCIALIST.
When Prince Kropotkin fed from
the military hospital in Petrograd
after his arrest for political treason.
| he was known as an anarchist, but
| distinctions were less finely drawn
then than now, when he is classed
as a Socialist.
The Russian revolution permitted
this distinguished scientist, who had
| a long list OF learned volumes to his
credit, to go home at last. This is
| in part his farewell to England in a
letter to the London Chronicle. He
said:
'Tn farewell to the British nation,
| wish to express my heartfelt thanks
for the friendly reception found in
this country since the days when /
landed on these shores in 1875 down
to the present day.
"Those OF us who have lived Il
through will not forget the energy
with which our friends and the la
Dor organizations together took up
| the defense of every Russian refu-
gee whose extradition the czar's gov
ernment tried to obtain, nor the con-
| tempt with which the British nation
| treated all attempts at obtaining an
| extradition treaty.
'In common with the great bulk of
the Russian nation, I can only say
how happy I am to see my mother
country standing In one camp with
the western democracies against the
central empire"
