Lamenting a lost British oppor-

ought to be banned not only from
the public library Of Boston. but
from every public library in the

children:

pursal Of this enthusiastic rabble,

OF course, none in America but
the child Is unaware that England
exerted every means in her power
to make the most Of this "oppor.

courage, sacrifices, heroism and
God.given strength of the founders
of our Republic.
The grave seriousness of the
situation revealed through the
Hearst newspapers' exposure OF
Angiicized histories In the hands
Of American children Is all the
more emphasized in the fact that
even Professor Albert Bushnell
Hart condemns the Nicolay book
and says Of it's author:
"she has taken her views from
English writers or from American

the "Red Pope" who has
~ died by the hand of an assas-
sin-probably the avenger Of one
of his many victims--was one OF
the most contradictory Of men.
Those who knew only his soft
speech. his mild manners. and his
dreamy eyes of the melting type
that the Irish peasant speaks Of as
likely to coax q bird off a bush,"
would find It hard to think Of him
as a monster Of cruelty who sent.
thousands of his fellow creatureS
to a cruel death.
My own experience Of him goes
back to the days Immediately fol-
lowing the triumph Of Leninism.
At that time was wholeheartedly
for the revolution and eager to de-
vote myself to its service. I came
under the influence Of the Rcd
Pope. who exercised over me q fas-
cination that even yet I cannot un-
derstand. though, when I realize

When thus employed nothing
could take his attention. save one
thing, the necessity of listening for
the shrieks Of his victims facing q
shameful death a little distance
away. At times II seemed to me
that this was the sweetest music
in his ears. this and the laughter
Of children.
And he was fond Of animals.

was my alarm when I thought that
a flash Of recognition had come, to
him: I may have been mistaken,
but he actnally stopped with me
and addressed . few remarks that
were proper to one in my role. and
then passed on. .s
All the time I thought those ter
rible eyes were piercing me
through and through and laying
bare my secret. but must have
been wrong, for he passed on his
way to his carriage without the
slightest sign that he had penetrat-
ed my disguise. In due course I
reached France, and In the securr
ity Of that land was able to forget
some Of my tortures in Russia.
1t is awful to think Of the fate
that has overtaken the Red Pope.
but when. again. think of the
thousands to whom his death win

what has happened. even though h
means that one who had once the
power to make me his slave has
gone out OF the world by death
as terrible as any he meted out to
those who came in judgment be-
fore him.
LUST FOR SLAUGHTER.
One Of the delusions Of this
strange man was that he was q
humanitarian whose heart bled for
the sufferings Of others, and he
boasted to me more than once
that he was exercising his tiger.like
lust for slaughter In order that
the world might be rid of the peo-
pie who were disposed to inflict
suffering on others.
He believed firmly that he had
a mission to stamp out cruelty in
this world. and he never imagined
for a moment that he was prac-

In Russia he was regarded as
the pitiless foe of all who were
opposed to the revolution, and
many were the attempts to wreak
. on him the vengeance that he
wreaked so ruthlessly on those
who had the misfortune to cross
his Path.
All manner Of approach to him
was tried. and among others that

ness-his belief in his capacity to
fascinate my sex. One young girl.

with their lives their devotion to

Before she could use the dagger

room, and the girl was dragged off
to prison to meet the fate that had
befallen the rest Of her family.
Men and women many times
went to take his life in the belief
that there was not the faintest sus-
picion of their intention, but. like
poor Marie. whose fate I have de-
scribed, they soon found that they

He recited instances of my sup
posed communication with the en-
emies of the revolution, and did II
with such cool self-possession that
I was astonished, and could not ut
ter a word in my own defense. I
was condemned to death and cast
into prison to await the end.
One night the Red Pope visited
me in prison.
He told me that he had deferred
my death as long as possible In or.
der that he might have a chance
of gloating over my suffering. and
I can well believe that he was ca
pable Of doing that.
After he left I was told that
was to be put to death the follow
ing morning, and I settled down
for the night in the belief that my
misery would end with the coming
of dawn. but that was only part Of
his refinement of cruelty. resorted
to In order to break my spirit.
Day after day I woke up In the
belief that II was my last on earth,
and prepared myself for death,
only to find that It was once more
deferred. Then q time came when
II seemed I must go mad with the
uncertainty Of It all. and 1t was
while feeling like this that the
idea Of escape came to me.
My chance came on the follow
ing morning in a providential way.
The Red Pope had decided. on a
new variation Of the torture to
which I was to be subjected. 1t
was to take me. right to the place
Of execution. along with the other
victims Of the Ter ror. to keep up
the pretcnse of killing me. I
seemed so broken In spirit by the
torture to which I had been sub
jected that my guards did not
think me capable Of getting away
from them. so they were rather
negligent.
I had no thought Of making my
escape that day. but there came
a moment when I saw all eyes
fixed on the terrible spectacle Of
q woman Of the nobility who had
scorned the advances Of the Red
Pope meeting death while he stood
at the window gloating over her
fate.
There was a gap in the crowd
behind the execution platform. and
into this I dashed before my
guards realized what was happen
ing. The crowd also were taken
aback by the suddenness Of my
move. and they did nothing to
stop my flight.
Fortunately for me there were
friends at hand and I was soon
rushed to safety in a house near
by, from which I could hear the
shouts Of the pursuing Red Guards
as they sought high and low for
me until far into the night.
In safety lay for days. and
then. in the garb Of a holy woman,
displaying all the mannerisms and
the timidity Of one who had been
shut off from the world for a life
time. I ventured forth. and great
was my Joy when I was able to
pass out Of Moscow with the aid
of the papers that friends had Sc
cured Tor me.
