This woman was Katharine Breschko-

She was already an old woman when
the last Romanoff was shot to death in a
cellar at Ekateripburg; and before that
time she had spent no less than so years
of her life in one or another of the cars
prisons for revolutionary activities.
She had been one of that devoted bond
of Russian dreamers who hated autocracy
and oppression and risked the worst that
the car could do to bring them to an end.
Well, these dreamers finally had Their
way The cars government fell, the 81
berian prisons were emptied, and the great
era of democracy and freedom seemed at
last ready to dawn across Russia.
And then the revolution ran out from
under its little grandmother.
Instead of freedom and democracy, Rus
STA got Communism. The car was dead,
and his mobiles were either dead or in ex-
lie; but there was no place. in the new
order for those who had given hteir lives
to the fight against czarism, unless they
happened to believe in the particular kind
of revolution that Russis's new rulers were
handing out. a. . -~ 80
So this ageing veteran of the ears pris-
ons had to flee from Russia, just like any
purse-proud nobleman. She went to for
eign lands, remarking that she had waited
half century for the downfall of the
czars and was willing to wait equally long,
if need be, for the downfall of the Bolshe-
viks. .,,.,,.
And when she came to her death-bed,
at last, one of the friends who hasteped to
her side was Alexander Kerensky-aR-
other revolutionary who found the revolu-
ton running out from under him, and who
dares not return to Russia
So the ears ghost must have smiled a
grim little smile. A revolution is such an
incalculable thing. Starting one is like

The solid land itself seems to break up
and the one who started it all is no
