By Iiodor, the "Mad Monk Of Russia

lively. they stole out Of Tsaritsin
and rode to the next town, where
. they were secretly married at mid
night, the priest swearing that he
would never tell. But somehow
the news leaked out. Brother COM
missars one day came to Panin's
house. .
"They say you were married
that night your sweetheart and
you rode out Of town." the COM
nissars told him. AT which Panin,
like real man, stood up boldly
and told the truth.
"Since when," said he, SHOULD
3 man consider shameful a cere-
-inony said over his own true love
! and himself? Marriage is not so
much for men. They can manage,
either the old way or the new. But
my poor wife would weep her eyes
eeOut if those words Of the priest
he'd not been said. Who am | to
pain the woman I love? Yes,
brother comrnissars, we were mar
ried that night"
They dragged poor Panin. of to
Jail, and when I left he was still
in prison.
If these alliances had something
of the permanency of marriage,
perhaps some small word might be
said in their favor. But when a
man tired Of his free love partner
he was by law expected to find
himself another. However, It was
soon apparent that the women
taken under the new dispensation
still had the same feeling about
their husbands as the old wives
who had been legally married. This
universal instinct Of decent wom-
ankind 70 want her husband, to
cling to the father Of her children,
led to many tragedies.
Budenny was the Moscow Com
missar Of Cavalry for All Russia.
He had taken wife in the new
way. Then, wearying, he had at
tempted to cast her aside for an
other. She had shot him as he
rode by on the street, was told.
Everywhere we saw that though
the old laws about marriage might
be changed, the old human nature
was exactly as it had always been.
Another c0mnissar Of Tsaritzin,
Murugof by name, had also legally
married his wife, OsIyaOVe. But.
in company; they both openly
laud61sthe new free love and made
fun Of those who had been mar
ried in a church. Murugof was a
friend of mine, and he spoke to
me OF this one day.
What else can we do, Father?n
he asked. tsOnly by lies, only by
living this open deception, can we
hide the fact that we ourselves are
really married. Ny poor wife, in
fright, one night burned our mar
rage certificate, lest they search
our house and find it. And you
know what that means-to good
woman. Father Iliodor, for sol ]
genaIr truth, they will never force
this free love upon our Russian
women"
And, indeed, this unnatural and
abh0rrent doctrine has failed. In
fact, when left Russia they were
not seriously trying any more.
Cornlnissars, $50 often coarsest of
men, to whom love meant nothing
but brute instinct, had their many
young women attaches. The Com
missar Governor, Morozoff, SUI
preme in Tsaritzin, had three
wives" These were Nechaevna,
Novaksconova and Sokolova. These
poor girls had gone to him from
sheer starvation. We were all be-
coming very hungry in my country
then, and only the commissars and

and the pressure upon poor Zol-
kina grew so great that one day
when walking with her soldier she
asked aim for his revolver. She
put it TO her breast.
"Thus l dep said she. II love
you, but l love my parents, too. /
cannot go with you unmarried, as
you wish. / am weary of this
strife. Darling, good-byu
She shot herself. After linger-
ing week she died. / had hardly
returned to Tsaritzin when her
poor father knocked at my door.
"Thank God, you are back in
time to sing the requiem mass for
my poor Zolkinav' said the old
man. trembling with his sorrow.
"She is dead, my girl. But she
died good woman. The free love
that you objected to when you had
to flee is the same free love they
offered my poor child. oh, Father
Iliodor, in what state are we liy-
ing, that our maids are wanted by
men who won't take them in the
old-fashioned matrimony of our
God and our church 2"
/ said mass for poor Zolkina, in
the sorrow of my soul.
This was one of the many
tragedies l personally saw as
made my pilgrimage. In my pill
grim's rage | walked through Mos
COW one morning as a splendid
funeral procession passed through
the streets. | knew some great
man must have died. So asked
a passerby.
ITO be sure, great man his
gone" said he. "He was Zolgoev,
one of the War Commissioners of
All Russia. His wife shot him in
court"
asked for the rest Of the story,
and ne told me that Zolgoev had
middle-aged wife, whom he had
grown tired of. He proposed to
her that they get a divorce, and
make new connections, according
to their tastes. n
"But,1 she had said, "you are
my husband. We have been mar
ried twenty years. We have chill
dren, nearly grown, It Is wicked
what you say
sit may have been wicked under
the old monarchy" he told her,
"but all is different now"
"All is the same with love and
honor and family ties" she said.
But he kepts0n urging her, with
fine cruelties. At last the poor
woman gave in. They appeared in
court, where it was agreed before
hand that they both should tell the
judge that they, mutually, wished
to be separated from each other.
The judge addressed the commits
sar first.
"Under the Decree" said he,
marriages already contracted are
legal. But you, Mr. Commissar,
you wish to be divorced from your
wife," Il
Eyes, answered the husband,
earnestly / do. ! will make an
other alliance, and new children
will be given to the State. For
patriotic reasons am anxious for
a divorce"
At this the poor wife stood up
in her chair. She whipped out Of
her bag a revolver. She aimed it
madly, and she shot her husband
in the crowded court. The wife
went to prison for her rebellion.
And they buried the man, her hus-
band, with all ceremony.
In Tsaritzin other pathetic in
stances among my own parishion-
ers came to my attention. One was
of the Commissar Panin. He was :.
married to a woman named Neve-
ANA, whom he loved with devo-
ton. He had courted his wife a

7 WO BATTLES
PROGRAM
TODAY
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

With two games against the Chi
cago White Sox the Grirfmen close
their present home stay here today,
departing tonight for Martinsburg,
w. Va, where they play an exhibit
ton game tomorrow and then. con-
tinuing on to Chicago. They open
their final swing around the West
in the Windy City on Wednesday.
An even break in today's twin at
traction means an even break IN
the series with the SoX. 1t will
also mean that, since coming horne
late last month. the Griffs will have
won nine victories and lost five
contests, averaging .642.
Winning two games today will
give the Griffs the series and ten
victories to four defeats since COM
ing home, averaging ia. Instead
of flirting with the cellar, the
Griffs are today but a game and
half behind the fifth place White
Sox. Two victories today will put
Bush's lads at the top of the second
division.
By defeating the Sox yesterday,
9 to 6. the Griffs have placed them
selves in q position, to get some
where. However, it was a sloppy
game, filled with poor playing on
both sides. The Sox leaped upon
Zahniser and Mitchell and had a
6-to-O lead when the Griffs went
to bat in the sixth.
Mike Cvengros, the half pint
southpaw, permitted a couple of
runs in the sixth and was driven
from the slab in the seventh when
the home boys. taking advantage
of their rivals sloppy playing
TANNED six runs over the pan
Charlie Robertson relieved Cvengros
and lost the game.
Once ahead DOME Bush called on
Waiter johnson to hold it. This
the veteran did nobly, giving but
one hit in. the last two frames.
