Within, as his guest, his picturesque black hair tumbling ever his trie brew, sits Russia's famed "Mad Menk Iliodor." Eleven years age h thit land heavily belted and barred doers, subterranean passages and taehlights were used te see that no harm came te his magic person. He k the "mad abbot" who headed the Black Hundreds who swept forward lift his pilgrimages of fanatical devotees, defied the Hely Synod and iried Russia through the Czar.

He raised his hind knowingly as though te sweep way all doubts; his hand, often niied te sway the destinies of 150, 000,000 people, still made memorial futures. "Ah, I knew," he said. "I had my power with Russia be enie I speke sincere words," he continued volubly," because I was net afraid te tell the truth. I was ftaid te tell no ene the truth.

Only when their mother, amber of eyes and hair, came ever toward the bed did they duck under the covers and pretend they were net listening te what papa Iliodor was saying. When a little later the talk came te Christmas and a Christmas tree there was open revolt in the sleeping quarters. "They will have a tree," their papa said emphatically, giving as much attention te the project as if it were the time he told Prime Mln ister Stelypin te de as he ordered. Small pink mountains of glee rose here and there in the bed, "They will have it with me," said the little Pedlesney girl, who Is seven. It was the first time she had spoken, though she, tee, waa listen ing te everything that went en. Her eyes were shining. There are 18,000,000 people starv ing in Russia, Iliodor had said a lit tle before. Half of them would rush te America if the Seviet Govern ment would permit.
