however, hundreds Of miles from home we arrived
in the city OF Maicop where we felt we could safely

themselves before our eyes almost at once. To the
vineyard where we worked several Bolshepik sol

Tears trlckled down the cheeks of the poor old
man. He went into the house It happened neyt

checked babies came to visit him from the town
The children ran into the garden and pucked at the

Just then the soldiers arrived, driving market

"Ho-you" cried the leader, you're in our vine

The man swung his powerful arm in a wide
sweep. He struck the trembling woman off her

baby in her arms.
