"I'll roliirii tlu clothes m an hour,''
1 s:ud cnrclcsslv, licforo 1 shouted to the
driver: "IJiiiek. to the .esky!" In
another nuuneiit, I was out of diinijer.
To my prcM'iii'o of mind on this occasion
I owo my life; for, had 1 been appre
hended, I should cry proliuhly lime been
sentenced to the gallows or to' hard labor
in Siberia.
1 remained in St. Petersburg only a
feu days longer. The pardon proclaimed
by the Czar hail become a farce. Several
of my friends were nriested. It seemed
as if all our sacrifice' had been in am.
I lied to Finland, mid in Ilelsingfors 1
met Maxim (lorky, the novelist, ami told
linn that I intended to go to America.
" See how- conditions are over there,
and I 'II follow you. Let me know at
once," said (lorky, when 1 bade him
farewell.
On my arrival in New ork, 1 found
public- opinion favorable to the Russian
revolution. I at once sent a cable, and
soon thereafter a letter, to (Jorkv, who
had moved to Merlin, (icruinuv. (Jorkv
came to America a month Inter, and I
witnessed the climax to his glory and
his humiliation in New York a result
that, as it proved later, was brought
about by the tnckery of the Czar's spies.
(lorky returned to Kurope; but I re
mained in this country. Here was the
freedom I had longed for. 1 decided to
study the language and the life, and to
lieconie a writer in this new land. Al
though when I landed I did not know a
word of English, I was able in one year's
tune to contribute to the periodicals; and
two years later, my first book in Knghsh.
a volume of short stories entitled
" Kchoes of Myself," was published.

in the next issue of the Si:vn

ing in good cheer and Christmas live Kn
lertainmeiit, the number will be as chuck
full of bright things as a Christmas tree.
First and foremost among the surprises
will be a storv, not bv .lack London hun
self, but by Mrs. .lack London 11 LliSKLF
a story complete in one instalment that
simply bubbles over with fun and frolic.
TIIK' W'llLKL is the. title and it's a
bict'zy Smith Sea yarn of just about the
oddest ptank ever played by a mariner.
ancient or modern, cm Ins derelict crew.
Incidentally, it might be added that this
is Mrs. London's first story to appear in
anv magazine!
L'llis Parker Hutler, whose PUIS IS
PHIS was famous in making the country
grin from sea to sea, contributes PAPA
POCIIAKIVS TRKH to the Christmas
M.uiazink Skction. The scene of tins
new- Kllis Parker Hutler story is laid in
Paris; but the humor of the tale is clis
linctly and irresistibly American. It's a
Vuletide host in itself, this story and
it is delight fullv illustrated by Adrien
Machefert.
Then comes Charles Dana (iibscm, the
famous master of black and white, with
a full page STl'DY IN CHARCOAL.
This original (iibson drawing was mail''
csiH'cially for the Skmi-Monthi.y Mahv

Among other distinct Christinas fea
tares of the coming number is the highly
diverting account by Thomas (Irani
Springer of TIIK COWHOY WHO
WKNT SHOPPIXO. Needless to say,
the cowboy got sadly mixed up in the
Christmas rush in bargain counter land,
and ran a very bewildering gauntlet of
confusion. The merriness of it all is
cleverly emphasized in the illustrations by
R. (1. Yosburgh.
Last to be mentioned, but first in fact,
is the Christmas cover design by Cirimball.
Watch lor it. It 'II mako you think of the
time when you might havo been one of
the half-frightened, wholly curious, little
nightgowned figures who are somewhat
anxiously wavlaving Santa Clans bv the
big fireplace." " WHO'S Al'RAIDf "
the title of our Christmas cover design
is a sort of merry introduction to a merry
