THIS STARTS TDK STORY
In the summer of j 91 7 ;nrlii
JJotchkareva formed tile linttalion
of IJpath, a woman's fighting unit In
tlio Russian army, and a peasant
girl thus stepped into the interna
tional hal of fame. In fbo earlier
Installments sho told of tlio hard
ships of her childhood,' the brutali
ties of her married life and the real
ization of her wish to becomm a sol
dier. She told of battles fought and
won and of the demoralization of
the army after tlio overthrow of
the Czar. It was her desire to shame
the men Into action that prompted
her to faun the Hattulion of Death,
with the consent of Kerensky. But
she meets with dilllculties. War
weary mobs assail her. Molshevists
and pacifists attack her Insidlouly.
Rut she temporarily wins out and is
given high honors and much adula
tion befoie she stars for the front.
AND HERK IT CONTINUES
The JourmV was a triumphal pro
cession. At every station we were
hailed In crowds of soldiers and civil
ians. There were ovations, demon
strations and speeches. "My girls had
straight oiders not to lca e the cars
without permission. Our meals were i
provided for us at certain stations. I
through telegraphic orders, and we '
would get off tlio train in llio-e places i
to eat. At one slop, while I was at J
rest, a demonstration took place n
our noior ami i was suoocniy i.1R.-ii
out of bed and carried out in view of '
iin: l'iuihi.
J Thus we moed lo the .front, llnallj
arriving at .Molodeclino. I was met
k there by ii gioup of about twenty olll-
( cers and taken to dine with the staff.
Tho battalion was quartercil In two
1 barracks upon our arrival at army
j t headquarters.
I ' There wore about a score of bar-
racks In Molod'jchno. Almost half of
! these were filled with deserters from
tlte front, former police and gendarmes
who had been Impressed Into the army
at the outbreak of the i evolution and
soon escaped from the ranks. There
were also some criminals and a mini
ber of Ilolshevist agitators. In a word
the lot consisted of the down-iind-oiils
of that sector of the front.
J They scented the arrival of the bat
I tnlion quickly, and while I was being
J driven to ilimwr they descended upon
I my girls in Hocks and began to deride
1 and inolcst them. The olllccr in charge
i perceived Willi alarm the growing hi
solence of the rogues and hurried to
the commandant of the station to bog
4 protection.
. "But what can I do?" answered
the commandant, helplessly. "I am
; . powerless. There are 1500 of them,
i nnd there Is nothing to bo done but
lo boar patiently with their derision
nnd win their favor by kindness."
The death penalty had already been
fUlOllsucu 111 ino amiy.
Tho plllcer in churge returned with
empty hands. Sho found a few of
the outlaws in tho barracks, behaving
offensively toward the women. Having
tried valiily to get rid of them by
persuasion, she telephoned to nie. t
had barely seated myself at the dinner
table as her call reached me. I
hastened into an automobilo and to
the barracks.

A Paying Investment
The education of your child to become a iOOo useful citizen is
an absolute necessity today. A hundred years ago a horse and
wagon was all there was to the transportation system. Today there
is a vast system of railways and waterways which cover the world,
and the electric current enables people from the uttermost parts of
the earth to speak to each other quickly and easily.
The child of yesterday needed little more than the three R's in
order to have a fairly successful life. Today he must have all the
equipment you can give him.
In round numbers, what is your child's chance to become success
ful? If uneducated he has one chance out of 150,000; with a com
mon school education, 4 chances; with a high schooleducation, 87
chances; with a college education, 800 chances; with The Book
of Knowledge in the home, every chance. It is not a luxury, it
is an absolute necessity. It is an' investment in your child's future
which will pay dividends as long as he lives.
