THIS STARTS THE STORY In tho summer ot 1917 Maria Uotchkareva formed tho Battalion ot Death, a woman'? flKhtlns unit In the Russian army, and a peaant ttlrl thus marched Into the interna tional hall of fame. Tills if her story. In earlier installments who told of tho hardships of her child hood, the brutalities of her married llfo and the lealizatlon of her wish to become a soldier. Sho tells ot battles fought and won and of tho demoralization of tho army after tho overthrow of thi Czar. Sho leaves tho army because the sol diers will no longer flcht and. with tho consent of Kerenslty, forms the famous battalion of votnen her aim being to shamo the men Into action. ltight at the hiart thero is apltatlon to establish the inevitable soldiers' committee and when she refu-es to recognize it 1300 of her women sol diers leave AND HERC IT COMLNLES TX THE morning; I was Informed that poso of the battalion was to set an example to the demoralized men. Give them a commltteo and all is lost. I will have tho same situation as in the army. The disintegration there is a sufficient reason for my determination not to introdute tho new system," I aigued. "Ves, I agiee with you that the com mittees are a curse, ' confided the gen eial. "But what is to bo done''' "I know this much, tlmt 1, for one will have nothing to do with commit tees." I declared emnhaticallv The general Jumped to his feet, j riors?" struck the table with his fist and thun dered: "And T older ou to form a com mitted" I jumped up as well, also struck the table and leileiated loudlj . "I won't' 1 started this woik on condition that t be allowed to run the bittallon as 1 ree fit and without any committees." "Then thcie Is nothing left but to disband 5 our battalion:" proclaimed General Polovtze. "nven this minute if you wish'" I offered. I drove to tho institute Knowing that the girls weie instructed to re tin n, I placed ten sentries with rides Ion. There was only a lemnant of 300 left of It, but It was a loyal remnant nd I was not upset by tho dlmlnii tlon in numbers. " Most of tho remain lng women were peasants llko myseii. Illiterate, but very devoted to mother rtussla. All of them but one was under ihlrtv-flve. Tho exception was ono Orlova, who was forty, but of an un llj powerful constitution. ei-- tho drilling wim greaiei ever. A day or two later Ketcnsltys ad jutant called up. Ho wanted me to come to the Winter Palace to see the War Minister. The. antechamber was again crowded with many people and 1 waB greeted by several acquaint ances. At the appointed minute I was shown Into Kercnsky's study. Kerenskj was pacing the loom ig orously as I entered. Theie was a cloud on his brow. "Good morning, Gospodin Minister," I gtected Iilm , ,,. "Good morning." ho nnsneied coldlj, without extending his hand. "Are ou a soldier','" he asked ab ruptly. "Yes." 1 innlled Then win don't you obe ursupe- and had tha gills gathered belore mc. I tiddressed them as follows: i 11 Sm lnff ll0I"e tomorrow. The battalion will bo disbanded because I would not consent to form a com mittee. You all know that I had warned all the applicants previously timt I would bo a hcvere dlsclpllnar Jan. i sought to make this battalion an exumple that would shlno forever in tho history of our country. I hoped to show that where men failed women t-ould succeed. T dared dream that women would Inspire men to groat deeds and save our unhappy land. But my hopes ore now shattered. Cowardly, weak girls proved to bo tho majority or those who responded to my appeal, and they wrecked my scheme for-tho salvation of suffering Russia. I have Just come back from KerenBky. Ho told me that I should form a Commit tee, but I lefused. Have jou any Idea what a committee would mean?" "No, no, Natchalnlk," the women answered "A committee." I explained, "means nothing but talk and talk. The com mittees have destroyed the army and the countr This is war and in war there should be no talk, but action. I can't submit to the order to Intro duce in this battalion tho very system that has disrupted our glorious army. So I am going home, Yes, tomorrow I leave. " Tho girls threw themsoves at my feet In tears They wept and begged mo to l cmaln with them, "Wo love you. We will stand by you to the last," they ciled "You can punish us, beat us If you w III, Wo know and appreciate jour motives. You want to help Russia and wo want you to make use of us. You can treilt us. as you please, yriu can kill us, but, don't leave us. We will go anywhero for you. We will go to General Polovtzev and tear hltn to pieces!" They embraced my feet, hugged me, kissed me, professed their affection und loyaltj . I was profoundly stirred. My heart was filled with gratitude and love for these brave friends. They seemed like children to me, like my children, -and I felt like a tender mother. If I had alienated 1500 bad ones, 1 had wonthe deep deot!on of these 300 noble souls. They had tasted the tlgors of soldiering, but did not flinch Tho others werp cowards, masqueiadlng their worthlessness un der the cover'of "democracy." Thoso sought no excuses. Tho prospect of actual sacrifice did not daunt them. Tho thought of 300 Russian girls, cour ageous of heart; pure of soul, ready for solf-sacrlflce, w'as ono to comfort my aching hart. ''I wish I could, hut It Is Impossible for me to i cmaln," I replied to the plcadftigs of my girls. "The orders from the superiors are to form a com mittee or disband the battalion. Since T unqualifiedly tefused to do tho for mer, there remains nothing for mo but to go home. Good-by for tho time being: I will go to the Duchess 'ot Ijichtcnbcrg for tho afternoon, The Duchess was ono of the circle of society women who had taken a deep Interest in my work. 8h,o was a very simple and lovable soul, and I needed some one to whom I could pour out my heart. 1 was alwajs sure that the Duchess would under stand and be helpful. "What alls you, Maria?" were the words with which sho greeted me as soon as I appeared on the threshold of her house. I could not restrain my sobs and told her haltingly of the mutiny and the consequent collapse of the bat talion. It weighed heavily on mo and I seemed crushed by the dlbaster. She was struck by the news and cried with me. The beautiful dream wo had nurtured was shattered. In truth, It was an evening of mourning. I re mained there for dinner. About 8 o'clock ono of my girls sought admission and was shown in. She had been sent from the barracks as a messenger to report to me the results of a visit they had paid to General Polovtzev. It appeared that my 300 loyalists armed themselves with the lilies and' went to the com mander of the military district, de manding that .ho como out to see them. They were not in a light mood and meant business. The general came out, "What have you done to our Xatchalnlk?" thoy demanded sternly. "I haven't done anything to her," Polovtzev answered, amazed at this threatening demonstration. "Wo want back our Natcliainuci mv clrls shouted Immediately. Sho Is a holy woman; her heart Is bleeding for unhappy Rus sia. Wo will have nothing to do with those bad unruly girls, and wo -will not dlBband the battalion. Wo are the battalion. We want our Natchatnlk. Wo want strict discipline' In ac cordance with our pledges to her, and we will not form any committees."

I am convinced that the inspiration for it came irom the delicate, traceries he leaves on our windows on cold win ter days. On the frosted background are beautiful engraved designs like the snow flowers, leaves and scrolls of our early morning pictuies, and its slightly iridescent effect also car ries out the illusion: but for the 5?hvrrxK S&caMs T WO momentous selections of a lifetime are choosing a help mate and a piano. Some per sons are unconscionably long about doing both, and then make mistakes, generally because they accept in feriority instead of picking what at first may seem unattainable the very best. It is true, a helpmate cannot be got on the installment plan, but you can get the finest piano, the Steinway. At N.
