 24 the railways, and deliver the corn levy to feed the workers, he must do it with the consciousness that in the long run he is doing it in his interests and in the interests of the industry of the whole country.

This does not mean that we are going to stop turning out ploughs, scythes, nails, until the railways are put in proper order. We shall continue turning out these obejects as before, only their further development and increase will be held up until all available forces and means have been directed to the foundation of our industries, viz., the railways and water transport.

The supply of food is also increasing every day. The Soviet Government considers it reasonable to take from the peasants their surplus of corn, and supply it to the workers at a fixed rate instead of entrusting this task to speculators. The first year of the Soviet Government, namely from October, 1917, up to August, 1918, 30,000,000 poods of corn was supplied by the Food Commissariat. From the autumn, 1918, to the, autumn, 1919, the supply was 110,000,000 poods.

The following year (autumn 1919 to autumn 1920) the supply was 255,000,000. The levy for the year 1920–1921 is fixed at 454,000,000. The chief centres of supply will be the Kuban and Siberia. In view of the bad harvest in the Central provinces, the levy from these provinces was reduced as compared with the previous year. In spite of the bad harvest, there is every reason to believe that by the autumn of 1921 the levy will yield not less corn than that of the previous year.

4 (e.g., such as "dadhishe" or "vasavah" at the end of the jagati series): Exceptions, from which it will be admitted that they do not overturn the apparent rule that a stressed syllable requires a long one.

If we attempt to justify the alternative presented above by examining the various meters in detail, we will find that there is indeed a certain truth to the first aspect of it: the intensity with which a specific rhythm demands a particular form of metrical material is, in a sense, lower at the beginning of the series than at the end. However, alongside this, and even more prominently, the other alternative also asserts its domain of validity. Several significant phenomena in the prosodic structure of Vedic verses clearly indicate a substantial variability in the rhythmic characteristics that must be attributed to the series' beginning and middle, as opposed to the end.

The previously mentioned information pertains solely to the construction of individual "Padas." However, "Padas" are always combined, typically in sets of three or four similar "Padas," to form verses ("Ricas"). These verses occasionally combine to create larger units. In ancient times, verse formation primarily occurred by combining these "Padas" in a way that

 Rh The provision of other foodstuffs and forage is also increasing. In 1919 there was provided about 6,000,000 poods of meat, whilst the levy for 1920 was fixed at 24,000,000 and one can see already that the supply will exceed that of the previous year. The provision of potatoes during the season of 1919–1919 was 28,000,000 poods, and during the season 1919–20 43,000,000 were obtained. In 1919 the Government obtained 100,000 poods of fats,—that is, butter and bacon fat,—whilst in the course of the first eight months of 1920 the figure reached 820,000 poods. In 1918 27,000,000 poods of hay was stored; in 1919 the figure was 78,000,000. In spite of the drought and the bad crop this year, the quantity of hay to be stored this year will not be less than of last year.

The peasant might ask us: what is the use of this increase? It only means that you are taking from the peasants ever more and more, giving them nothing in return except debased paper currency?

The point is worth while considering.

The Soviet Government gave the peasants the land of the nobility. They have received in all 35,000,000 dessiatins of private land. In comparison with the imposts and taxes collected from them by the Government of the Tsar, the rent they paid to the landlords, the profits derived from them by the intermediaries, dealers, and usurers, the levies imposed by the Soviet Government are insignificant. Before the war the receipts of the Government of the Tsar amounted to 3,000,000,000 of gold roubles per annum. Half of this was taken by the Tsar from the peasants.

 being the sum of the present values of all the future payments, is also the sum which, being put out and improved at compound interest, will just suffice for the payment of the annuity (2).

7. Hence it follows, that when the annuity is L. 1, the number of years purchase and parts of a year, is the same as the number of pounds and parts of a pound in its present value.

And throughout this article, whenever the quantum of an annuity is not mentioned, it is to be understood to be L. 1.

8. The sum of which the simple interest for one year is L. 1, is evidently that which, being put out at interest, will just suffice for the payment of L. 1 at the end of every year, without any augmentation or diminution of the principal; and, being equivalent to the title to L. 1 per annum for ever, is called the value of the perpetuity, or the number of years purchase the perpetuity is worth.

But, while the rate remains the same, the annual interests produced by any two sums, are to each other as the principals which produce them; therefore, since $$5 : 1 :: 100 : \frac{100}{5} = 20$$, when the rate of interest is 5 per cent., the value of the perpetuity is 20 years purchase. In the same manner it appears, that according as the rate may be 3 or 6 per cent. the value of the perpetuity will be $$\frac{100}{3} = 33\tfrac{1}{3}$$, or $$\frac{100}{6} = 16\tfrac{2}{3}$$ years purchase; and may be found in every case, by dividing any sum by its interest for a year.

9. All the most common and useful questions in the doctrines of compound interest and annuities-certain, may be easily resolved by means of the first four tables at the end of this article. Their construction may be explained by the following specimen, rate of interest 5 per cent.

10. The calculation must begin with Table III., the first number in which should evidently be 1·05, the amount of L. 1 improved at interest during one year; which, being multiplied by 1·05, the product is 1·025, the second number; this second number being multiplied by 1·05, the product is 1·157625, the amount at the end of three years. And so the calculation proceeds throughout the whole of the column; each number after the first, being the product of the multiplication of the preceding number, by the amount of L. 1 in a year (1).

11. The number against any year in Table I. is found by dividing unity by the number against the same year in Table III. (2); thus, the number against the term of six years in Table I. is $$\frac{1}{1{\cdot}340096} = {\cdot}746215$$. All the numbers in that table after the first, may also be found, by multiplying that first number continually into itself (2).

12. The number against any year in Table II. being the sum of the numbers against that and all the preceding years in Table I.; is found by adding the number against that year in Table I. to the number against the preceding year in Table II.; thus, the number against 4 years in Table II., being

13. If each payment of an annuity of L. 1 be put out as it becomes due, and improved at compound interest during the remainder of the term, it is evident that at the expiration of the term, the payment then due will be but L. 1, having received no improvement at interest. That received one year before will be augmented to the amount of L. 1 in a-year; that received two years before will be augmented to the amount of L. 1 in two years; that received three years before to the amount of L. 1 in three years, and so on until the first payment, which will be augmented to the amount of L. 1 in a term one year less than that of the annuity.

Hence, it is manifest, that the number against any year in Table IV. will be unity added to the sum of all those against the preceding years in Table III.

And, therefore, that the number against any year in Table IV. is the sum of those in Tables III. and IV. against the next preceding year.

Thus, the number against seven years in Table IV., being

14. The method of construction is obviously the same at any other rate of interest.

15. All the amounts and values which are the objects of this inquiry, evidently depend upon the improvement of money at compound interest; it is, therefore, that the first, second, and fourth tables, all depend upon the third.

But every pound, and every part of a pound, when put out at interest, is improved in the same manner as any single pound considered separately. Whence, it is obvious, that while the term and the rate of interest remain the same, both the amount and the present value, either of any sum, or of any annuity, will be the same multiple, and part or parts of the amount or the present value found against the same term, and under the same rate of interest in these tables, as the sum or the annuity proposed is of L. 1.

So that to find the amount or the present value of

 must send word to them. Yes, this is a monument which he will leave here," said she to Dolly, with the same shrewd knowing smile on her face as when she first spoke of the hospital.

"Oh, capital work!" said Sviazhsky; and then, not to seem assenting from mere politeness, he added:—

"I am surprised, count, that you, who are doing so much for the peasants' sanitary advantage, are so indifferent to schools."

"C'est devenu tellentent commun, les écoles" replied Vronsky. "You must know I do this to amuse myself. This is the way to the hospital," said he, addressing Darya Aleksandrovna, pointing to a side-path which led from the avenue. The ladies put up their sunshades and walked along the side-path.

After making a few turns and passing through a wicket-gate, Darya Aleksandrovna saw before her on rising ground a large red building of complicated architecture not completely finished. The iron roof, not as yet painted, ghttered in the sun. Near the hospital itself there was another building going up, in the midst of the woods, and workmen in aprons stood on scaffoldings laying the bricks, taking mortar from buckets and smoothing it with trowels.

"How rapidly the work is going on," remarked Sviazhsky. "The last time I was here the roof was not in position."

"It will be ready by autumn, for the inside is already nearly finished," said Anna.

"And what is this other new building?"

"A house for the doctor, and a pharmacy," replied Vronsky; and, seeing the architect, in a short overcoat, approaching, he excused himself to the ladies, and went to meet him.

Going round the mortar-pit, from which the workmen were getting lime, he joined the architect and began to talk angrily with him.

"The pediment will be much too low," he replied to Anna, who asked him what the discussion was about.

 26 Add to this the rent paid to the landlord for the land, the Zemstvo taxes, the profits of the rich peasants and usurers, and we find that the triple alliance of the Tsar, landlords, and the bourgeoisie was skinning the peasantypeasantry [sic] to the tune of 2,000,000,000 gold roubles per annum. Before the war a pood of corn cost one gold rouble or even less; 2,000,000,000 roubles therefore represented 2,000,000,000 of poods of corn which the peasantry thus paid to the parasites of all ranks. Of course it was not in corn alone that they paid this tribute—they sold their cattle, eggs, butter, etc. In the villages the peasants partook of meat only once a month and on some great holiday: they denied their children milk and eggs, taking all to the market. But in terms of corn, the peasantry paid to their oppressors about 2,000,000,000 poods. Now the Government took last year from the peasants 260,000,000 poods of corn. Adding to the corn, meat, butter, eggs, and all that is taken now from the peasants, we arrive at a figure which by no means exceeds 350,000,000 or 400,000,000 gold roubles. Deducting from this all that the peasantry gets from the government, such as textiles, salt, oil, agricultural implements, free education of the children, we find that the peasants paid to the State in 1920 less than 300,000,000 roubles. Thus, the levy paid, by the peasants to the State is only one-seventh of what they paid to the Tsar, landlords and the bourgeoisie.

During the first two years of the Revolution the peasants obtained even more than what they gave to the workers. In the season of 1918–19 the peasants received goods to the value of 4,000,000,000 roubles

 "I said that the foundation ought to be raised," said Anna.

"Yes ! Of course, it would have been better, Anna Arkadyevna," said the architect; "yes, it was a mistake."

"Yes, indeed! I am very much interested in this," said Anna, in reply to Sviazhsky, who expressed his surprise that the architect spoke to her as he did. "The new building must correspond with the hospital. But this was thought of afterward, and begun without any plan."

Having concluded his talk with the architect, Vronsky joined the ladies and conducted them into the hospital. Though on the outside they were already placing the cornices and were painting the lower part of the building, on the upper floors almost everything was done. They went up by a broad cast-iron staircase to the second story, and entered the first great room. The walls were stuccoed for marble, the great glass windows were already in place; only the parquetry floor was as yet to be finished, and the carpenters, engaged in planing the squares, left off their work, and, removing the tapes which bound their hair, greeted the visitors.

"This is the reception-room," said Vronsky. "In this there will be not much besides the desk, a table, and a cupboard."

"Here, come this way. Don't go near the window," said Anna, touching the paint to see if it was dry. "Alekseï, the paint is beginning to dry."

From the reception-room they went into the corridor. Here Vronsky explained the new system of ventilation; then he showed them the marble bathrooms and the beds with extra spring mattresses. Then he showed them one after the other the wards, the laundry, then the heating apparatus, then the noiseless barrows for wheeling articles along the corridors, and many other contrivances, Dolly was simply amazed at the sight of so many novelties, and, wishing to understand it thoroughly, she asked a great many questions, which Vronsky answered with the greatest alacrity.

 Rh at controlled prices; whereas, they gave in return produce falling below that sum. In the course of the first two years of the Revolution, the peasants put the town at a disadvantage. True, in the season 1919–20 the peasants themselves were put at a disadvantage as compared with the town. Only 400,000,000 arshins of textiles, 3,000,000 poods of salt, and 1,000,000 poods of kerosine were given to the peasants.

In the season of 1920–21 the town will again be in debt to the village, which will receive not more than 130,000,000 arshins of textiles, 5,000,000 poods of salt and 7,000,000 poods of kerosine.

However, the levies imposed upon the peasants by the Soviet Government should not be regarded as confiscations, but as credit advanced by the peasants to the Government The peasant will receive textiles and agricultural machinery in exchange for his corn immediately the industries are re-established upon the end of the war. It must be borne in mind that without food the industries cannot be re-established. First food, and then textiles; but not the other way about. Before the hammer can begin to work, the sickle must be first in the field.

Poor as it is, the Soviet Government is endeavouring to give all it can to the peasants. In 1920 a "Peasants' Week" was organised right throughout Russia. Tens of thousands of Communist workers were sent to the villages. They helped the peasants' harvesting and repaired their agricultural implements. In many places the "Peasants' Week" lasted from three to four weeks. This free unpaid work of the

 "Yes, I think this hospital will be the only one of the kind in Russia," remarked Sviazhsky.

"Shall you not have a lying-in department?" asked Dolly. "That is so necessary in this country. I have often thought ...."

In spite of his politeness, Vronsky interrupted her.

"This is not an obstetrical institution, but a hospital, and is meant for all except infectious diseases," said he. "And now look at this," and he showed Darya Aleksandrovna a newly imported chair designed for convalescents. "Will you look at it, please?" He sat down in the chair and began to move it along. "He can't walk.... or he is still weak, or he has a lame leg, but still he must have the air, and so he goes out and enjoys himself!"

Darya Aleksandrovna was interested in everything; everything pleased her very much, but, more than all, Vronsky himself pleased her with his natural naïve enthusiasm.

"Yes, he is certainly a good, lovable man," she thought, not listening to what he said, but looking at him and trying to penetrate his expression, and then momentarily looking at Anna. He pleased her so much with his animation that she understood how it was that Anna came to love him.

"; the princess must be tired, and the horses will not interest her," said Vronsky to Anna, who had proposed to show Dolly the stable, where there was a new stallion that Sviazhsky wished to see. "You go there, and I will escort the princess back to the house. And, if you please," added he to Dolly, "we will talk a little on the way, if that will be agreeable."

"I know nothing about horses, so I shall very willingly go with you," said Darya Aleksandrovna.

She saw by Vronsky's face that he wanted something of her, nor was she mistaken. As soon as they had

 28 workers rendered great help to the families of the Red Army men, and to the needy peasants.

Thousands of smithies were put to work, tens of thousands of ploughs, harrows, thrashing machines, bridges, schools, hospitals, etc., were repaired. This was only a beginning which, however, is very important, because it indicates the means by which the workers will settle their debt to the peasants. In the future the peasant will not only receive goods from the town, which will not be less in value than the produce supplied by him, but will also receive assistance by way of free labour in the pressing time of harvest when local labour is not in a position to cope with the work and the agricultural machinery cannot be rapidly repaired without the help of industrial workers.

The success of the constructive work of the Soviet Government is revealing itself in many directions. We are gradually re-starting our industries and transport, establishing new undertakings and works, and directing our attention to electrification which will supply the villages with electric light and power for agricultural work. Apart from this, the Soviet Government has achieved considerable success in public education. War has been declared upon illiteracy amongst adults, and the campaign is carried out with such energy that in many towns there will not be a single illiterate in the course of next year. The compulsory education for children is being carried into effect.

In towns the free maintenance of children is being carried through; the number of kindergartens,

 passed through the wicket-gate again into the park, he looked in the direction where Anna was gone, and, having convinced himself that they were out of her sight and hearing, he began:—

"You have guessed that I wanted to have a talk with you," said he, looking at her with his smiling eyes, "I am not mistaken in believing that you are Anna's friend, am I?"

He took off his hat, and, taking out his handkerchief wiped his head, which was growing bald.

Darya Aleksandrovna made no reply, and only gazed at him in alarm. Now that she was entirely alone with him, she suddenly felt terror-stricken; his smiling eyes and the stern expression of his face frightened her.

The most diverse suppositions as to what he might be wanting to talk with her about chased one another through her mind.

"Can it be that he is going to ask me to come with my children and make them a visit, and I shall be obliged to decline? or is it that he wants me to find society for Anna when she comes to Moscow? .... Or is he going to speak of Vasenka Veslovsky and his relations to Anna? Or can it be about Kitty, and that he wants to confess that he was to blame toward her?"

She thought over everything that might be disagreeable, but never suspected what he really wanted to talk with her about.

"You have such an influence over Anna, she is so fond of you," said he, "help me."

Darya Aleksandrovna looked timidly and questioningly into Vronsky's energetic face, which, as they passed under the linden trees, was now lighted up by the flecking sunbeams and then again darkened by the shadows, and she waited for him to proceed; but he, catching his cane in the paving-stones, walked in silence by her side.

"Of all Anna's friends, you are the only one who has come to see her—I do not count the Princess Varvara—I know very well it is not because you approve of our position; it is because you love Anna, and, knowing

 Rh creches, homes and colonies for children continuously increases. Communal feeding is being introduced, protection of labour is being improved. In spite of the lack of medicine, our fight with disease and epidemics is improving every year. And all these successes were achieved by the workers and peasants amidst a sanguinary war. We can therefore imagine how tremendous will be our achievements when we have done with war at last, and all our energies are directed to peaceful labour.

The celebration of the Third Anniversary of the October Revolution will not be festive this year. Our enemies are not defeated yet. The harvest this year was bad, many hard trials are awaiting us; we shall have to stand a good deal of cold, hunger, misery, and hard work. But the workers and peasants of Russia know one thing. They are on the right road; there is no return to the old, and the victory will be theirs. Toiling Russia, poor, ruined, bleeding from many wounds, will yet have her reward for her great suffering: if not this year, it will nevertheless, in the near future, celebrate its final triumph: she will then bow before the heroes of the October Revolution, who created the first government of the toilers in the world.

 the cruelty of her position, want to help her. Am I right?"

"Yes," said Darya Aleksandrovna, shutting up her sunshade, "but ...."

"No," he interrupted, and he involuntarily stopped and obliged her to stop also, though he had no intention of putting his companion into an awkward situation. "No one feels more strongly and completely the cruelty of Anna's position than I do. And you will realize this if you will do me the honor to believe that I am not heartless. I am the cause of her being in this position, and therefore I feel it."

"I understand," said Darya Aleksandrovna, involuntarily admiring him for the honest and straight-forward way in which he said this. "But for the very reason that you feel yourself the cause I fear you are inclined to exaggerate," said she. "Her position in society is difficult, I admit."

"In society it is hell!" said he, frowning gloomily; "you can't conceive moral tortures worse than those which Anna endured at Petersburg during the fortnight we were there; and I beg you to believe...."

"Yes, but here? .... And so far neither she nor you feel the need of a society life." ....

"Society! why should I need it?" exclaimed Vronsky, scornfully.

"Up to the present time, and perhaps it will be so always, you are calm and happy. I see in Anna that she is happy, perfectly happy, and she has already told me that she is," said Darya Aleksandrovna, smiling.

And while she spoke the doubt arose in her mind: "Is Anna really happy?"

But Vronsky, it seemed, had no doubt on that score:—

"Yes, yes, I know that she has revived after all her sufferings. She is happy .... she is happy now. But I?" said Vronskv. "I am afraid of what the future has in store for us .... excuse me, do you want to go?"

"No, it is immaterial."

"Well, then, let us sit down here."

Darya Aleksandrovna sat down on a garden bench

 in a nook of the walk. He was standing in front of her.

"I see that she seems happy," he repeated; and the doubt whether Anna was happy again rose in Darya Aleksandrovna's mind more strongly than ever. "But will it last? Whether we did right or wrong is a hard question; but the die is cast," he said, changing from Russian to French, "and we are joined for life; we are joined by the ties of love. We have one child, and we may have others. But the law and all the conditions of our state are such that there are a thousand complications, which Anna, now that she is resting after her afflictions and sufferings, does not see and will not see. It is natural; but I cannot help seeing. My daughter, according to the law, is not my daughter, but Karenin's, and I do not like this falsehood," said he, with an energetic gesture of repulsion, and looking at Darya Aleksandrovna with a gloomy, questioning face.

She did not reply, but simply looked at him. He continued:—

"To-morrow a son may be born—my son—and by law he would be a Karenin, and could, inherit neither my name nor my property, and, however happy we were here at home, and however many children we had, there would be no legal connection between me and them. They would be Karenins. You understand the cruelty, the horror, of this state of things? I try to explain this to Anna. It irritates her—she will not understand me, and I cannot tell her all. Now look at the other side. I am happy in her love, but I must have occupation. I have taken up my present enterprise, and I am proud of it, and consider it far more beneficial than the occupations of my former comrades at the court and in the service. And certainly I would not change my occupation for theirs. I work here, on my own place, and I am happy and contented, and we need nothing more for our happiness. I love my activity, cela n'est pas un pis aller; far from it."

Darya Aleksandrovna noticed that at this point of his explanation he became entangled, and she did not under

 stand very well his sudden pause, but she felt that, having fairly begun to speak of his intimate affairs concerning which he could not talk with Anna, he would now make a full breast of it, and that the question of his activities in the country belonged to the same category as his relations to Anna.

"And so I keep on," said he, growing more cheerful again, "The chief thing is that when one works one must have the persuasion that what one has done will not die with him, that he will have heirs .... but I have none. .... Conceive the feelings of a man who knows that his children and those of the wife he worships do not belong to him; that they belong to a man who hates them, and would never recognize them. Isn't it horrible?"

He was silent and deeply moved.

"Yes, of course," said Darya Aleksandrovna; "I understand this. But what can Anna do?"

"Well, that brings me to the purpose of this talk," said the count, controlling himself with effort. "Anna can get a divorce. It depends on her. .... If we are to petition the emperor to legitimize the children, a divorce is essential. But that depends on Anna. Her husband consented to that, and your husband had it all arranged some time ago, and I know that he now would not refuse; all it requires is for Anna to write to him. He said up and down that he would consent, if Anna would apply for it. Of course," he added, frowning, "this condition is one of those Pharisaic cruelties of which only heartless people are capable. He knows what torture all remembrance of him has for her, and so he exacts this letter from her. I understand that it is painful to her. But the reasons are so imperative that she must passer pardessus toutes ces finesses de sentiment. Il va du bonhenr et de l'existence d'Anna et de ces enfants. I don't speak about myself, though it is painful, very painful, to me," said he, with a wrathful expression against whoever was responsible for this state of things.

 "And this is why I make bold to apply to you, princess, as to a very anchor of salvation. Help me to persuade Anna of the need of getting a divorce."

"Why, of course I will," said Darya Aleksandrovna, gravely, for she vividly recalled her last meeting with Alekseï Aleksandrovitch. "Of course I will," she repeated resolutely, as she thought of Anna.

"Exert your influence on her and induce her to write the letter. I do not wish, and indeed I find it almost impossible, to talk with her about this."

"Very well, I will speak to her. But why does she not think of it herself?" asked Darya Aleksandrovna, suddenly remembering Anna's strange new trick of half-closing her eyes. And then it occurred to her that Anna did this especially when any reference was made to the more intimate side of her life.

"She seems to try to shut her eyes to her whole life, as if to put it out of her mind," said Darya Aleksandrovna to herself "Yes, I will speak to her, certainly; both for your sake and for hers," repeated Dolly, in response to Vronsky's grateful look.

And they got up and went to the house.

CHAPTER XXII

Dolly already returned, Anna looked scrutinizingly into her eyes, as if she would read there a reply to her wonder what she and Vronsky had been talking about, but she asked no questions.

"Dinner is nearly ready, and we have hardly seen each other. I count on this evening; but now I must go and change my gown. I suppose you'd like to do the same. One gets so soiled after such a walk."

Dolly went to her room, and felt ridiculous. She had no change to make, since she had worn her best gown; but, in order to make some change in her toilette, in honor of dinner, she asked the maid to brush the dust off, she changed her cuffs and put on a fresh ribbon, and put some lace in her hair.

 "It is all I could do," she said laughingly, to Anna, who came to her, dressed in a third but very simple costume.

"Well! we are very formal here," said Anna, in apology for her elegant attire. "Alekseï is so glad that you came. I believe he has fallen in love with you," she added. "I hope you are not tired."

Before dinner there was no time for any talk. When they entered the drawing-room, they found the Princess Varvara and the gentlemen all in evening dress. The architect was the only one that wore a frock-coat. Vronsky presented the doctor and the superintendent to his guest. She had already met the architect at the hospital.

A portly butler, wearing a stiffly starched white cravat, and with his smooth round face shining, came and announced that dinner was served, and the ladies stood up. Vronsky asked Sviazhsky to escort Anna Arkadyevna into the dining-room, and he himself offered his arm to Darya Aleksandrovna. Veslovsky was quicker than Tushkievitch in handing in the Princess Varvara, so that Tushkievitch went with the doctor and the superintendent.

The dinner, the service, the plate, the wine, and the dishes served, not only corresponded to the general tone of new luxury appertaining to the household, but seemed even more luxurious and elegant. Darya Aleksandrovna took note of this splendor, which was quite new to her, and, as the mistress of an establishment of her own, she could not help making a mental inventory of the details, and wondering how and by whom it was all done; and yet she had no dream of introducing anything like it into her own home, which was conducted on a scale of far greater simplicity.

Vasenka Veslovsky, her own husband, and even Sviazhsky and many more men whom she knew, had never carried out anything like this, and every one of them believed in the dictum that the master of a well-regulated household always desires to make his guests imagine that the elegance and comfort surrounding

 them are not any trouble to him, but come about spontaneously.

Darya Aleksandrovna knew that even such a simple matter as providing kasha for her children's breakfast does not go of itself, and that all the more in such an elegant and complicated establishment there had to be some one in full and complete charge. And by the glances with which Alekseï Kirillovitch took in the details of the table, and by the nods which he gave toward the butler and by the way in which he offered Darya Aleksandrovna the choice between botvinya and soup, she understood that everything was done under the direct superintendence of the master of the house. Anna had nothing more to do with it than Veslovsky had. She and Sviazhsky, the princess and Veslovsky, were only guests, gayly and thoughtlessly taking advantage of what was done for them.

Anna was khozyaïka, or mistress of the household, only in the management of the conversation; and this conversation was very difficult at a small table among guests belonging to such different spheres of life as the superintendent and the architect, who were trying not to be dazzled by such unwonted splendor, and who were unused to taking part in a general conversation; but Anna went through with her task with her usual tact and simplicity, and even with pleasure, as Darya Aleksandrovna noticed.

The conversation turned first on the way in which Tushkievitch and Veslovsky had gone down alone to the boat, and Tushkievitch began to speak of the recent yacht-race under the auspices of the Petersburg yachtclub. But Anna, taking advantage of the first pause, quickly turned to the architect, in order to bring him out of his silence.

"Nikolaï Ivanuitch was surprised," said she, referring to Sviazhsky, "to see how the new building had grown since he was here last. But I myself am here every day, and every day I am surprised myself to see how fast it progresses.

"It is good to work with his excellency," said the

 architect, smiling. .... He had a sense of the dignity of his calling, and was a very worthy and self-possessed gentleman. .... "You don't do such work under government patronage. When they would write reams of paper, I simply lay the plan before the count, we talk it over, and three words decide it."

"American ways," suggested Sviazhsky, smiling.

"Yes! buildings there are raised rationally." ....

The conversation then went off on the abuse of power in the United States; but Anna immediately started him on a third theme, in order to bring out the superintendent from his silence.

"Have you ever seen the steam reaping-machines?" she asked of Darya Aleksandrovna. "We had just been to see ours when we met you. I never saw one before."

"How do they work?" asked Dolly.

"Just like scissors. A plank and a quantity of little knives. Like this!"

Anna took a knife and fork into her beautiful white hands covered with rings, and tried to show her. She apparently saw that she did not make herself very clear, but, knowing that she spoke pleasantly and that her, hands were beautiful, she continued her explanations.

"Better say pen-knives!" said Veslovsky, with an attempt at a pun, and not taking his eyes from her.

Anna smiled almost imperceptibly, but made no reply to his remark.

"Am I not right, Karl, that they are like scissors?" she said, appealing to the director.

"Oh, ja," replied the German. "Es ist ein ganz einfaches Ding;" and he began to explain the construction of the machine.

"It is too bad that it does not bind the sheaves. I saw one at the Vienna Exposition; it bound them with wire," said Sviazhsky. "That kind would be much more convenient."

Note 5.2 Verb: Verb forms /alləc/ 'she exists', /yalləccım/ 'she does not exist' as equivalents to English 'have' and 'have not' with feminine object (see also Note 4.2).

Since the third person feminine of the verb /allə/ is /alləccı-/ before Verb Suffix Pronouns (Note 5.1), the equivalents of 'have' and 'have not' when what is possessed is feminine are as follows: (The construction is, literally, 'something (feminine) is to me, to you, etc'.).

 Socialists more hesitating in their attitude, but haunted by noble scruples, and by an imperfect notion of Socialist duties reacted against the absolute betrayals of the majorities. In Germany it was "Opposition inside the Organisation" led by Haase, Ledebour, Kautsky, Hoffman, Bernstein, Louise Zietz, Dittmann, etc. In France it was the "Minority" with Brizon, Raffin Dugens, Lonquet, Pressemane, Mistral, Mayeras, Paul Faure, Verfeuil, Delepine, Maurin, Dunos, etc. These two fractions, whom Socialist logic scared, who did not dare to adopt the principles and the tactics of the out-and-out revolutionaries, who were troubled about preserving "Unity" with traitors, and who consequently condemned themselves to impotence, nevertheless played a useful role through their resistance to chauvinism. The German fraction showed itself more active than did the French, and destroyed the pernicious unity of Social Democracy by forming the Independent Party, appealing from the Reichstag benches to the people, in favour of a popular rising.

These groupings, whose socialist spirit was not completely obscured by the war, used their efforts without any general vision, without co-ordination, in the same way as did the parties or fractions among the Socialists of neutral countries (Switzerland. Holland, Sweden, Norway, Greece. Portugal), who were inspired with similar ideas. International Conferences were necessary. The first one met at Zimmerwald. the 5th September, 1915, a place and date of primary importance henceforth in the history of Socialism.

The Swiss and Italian Socialist parties multiplied attempts to re-establish contact between international Socialists, and determine a basis of common action against the war. In September, 1914, the conference of Lugano confided to the Swiss party the task of re-establishing relations between the parties which were formerly linked in brotherhood, but who had now become belligerants or neutrals. Similar efforts were attempted by Troelstra. The Socialist Party of America suggested the reunion of a Congress at Washington, undertaking at the same time its

 organisation and its cost. These prospects failed in consequence of the hostility of the French and Belgian parties.

The Swiss party attempted to assemble at Zurich the Socialists of neutral countries. This resulted in another failure. At the same time the Italian Party sent Morgari to France charged with the mission to request the International Socialist Bureau to meet. The 19th April, 1915, Morgari had, at the headquarters of the Socialist Party in Paris, an interview with Vandervelde, the President of the I.S.B., and with the leaders of the party. He found himself up against the systematic refusal of the French and Belgium Socialist-patriots. Renaudel declared that the International was the hostage for right and justice (sic.) And in reply to Morgari, who stated that in spite of opposition the Socialists who were faithful to Socialism would find means of meeting, Vandervelde said, "we will prevent it."

It was thus apparent that all attempts to reconstitute the International from the elements which had betrayed it would be useless and sterile.

All that could be done was to call together the parties and the fractious which had remained Socialist and internationalist. On May 15th, 1915, the congress of Bologna, decided to convoke an international conference in spite of the hostility of official parties. On June 11th, a preliminary session took place at Berne, at which the nature and the object of the conference were established: ''it was agreed that this initiative on the part of the Italian and the Swiss parties was not taken with the intention of forming a new International. At this epoch only Lenin and the Bolsheviks had sufficient insight to discern the necessity of founding a third International.'' But their influence was not yet felt. Their help, however, was precious in the organisation of the conference.

From the 5th to the 8th September the Conference was held at Zimmerwald which was the first manifestation of the life of the renascent International, and which uttered the great call for peace. A few days before the meeting, Morgari had made a supreme attempt among French Socialists to obtain their participation in the conference, or at least that they should send a delegate without mandate or vote who would exercise, as Morgari put

 it, the duties of "an honest spy," at the same time assuring them that only German "minority Socialists" would be present. He only met with a fresh refusal, including that of Pressemane.

The conference, at which only Bourderon and Merrheim represented French Socialism and Syndicalism, issued a manifesto denouncing Imperialism as the cause of the war, disclosed the real objects of the war on the part of the two capitalist coalitions (thefts of territory, grabbing of oil and mineral wealth, the conquest of markets and of ports, pillage and spoliation, the subjection of other races to bourgeois oligarchies) all this hypocritically baptised under the name of national defence; and called upon the proletarians of all countries to take united action on the basis of the class struggle, in order to impose peace.

The "majority Socialists"" of France and of Germany attacked the Zimmerwaldians with hatred and fury, covered them with insults and sarcasms, after first having attempted a conspiracy of silence. But the international and pacifist idea had made a start, and nothing could stop it. Not all the accumulated blame heaped upon it could prevent the awakening of the proletariat.

From April 24th to 30th, 1916, a second Zimmerwaldian conference was held at Kienthal. Three French deputies Brizon, Blanc, and Raffin Dugens, represented French Socialism, passports having been refused to militant organised workers. The Kienthal Conference confirmed and solidified the Zimmerwaldian resolutions. It insisted on the fact that real peace could only come about as a consequence of Socialism, and invited the proletariat to fight resolutely against the capitalist régime. But, while attacking the International Socialist Bureau it did not go as far as to announce the necessity of breaking with it. At the same time as future action was decided on, a divergence of views made itself felt; among the Zimmerwaldians two tendencies appeared.

The Left, whose interpreter was Lenin, looked upon the break up of the Socialist"patriots as inevitable, and foresaw the necessity of founding the Third International.

RV 266 (Rh)

 The Right held that joint action was still possible with repentant traitors.

The Left was revolutionary. The Right was merely pacifist. Events have irrefutably proved that the Left were right in the position they took up: it was revolutions which ended the war, and it is quite clear that the world war will break out again if the world revolution does not forestall it.

Although the Left was in a minority at Kienthal it forced its views upon the third Zimmerwaldian Conference, which met at Stockholm in 1917. The resolution which was then passed called upon the workers of the world to join in the permanent struggle for the liberation of humanity. Two months later, the circumstances favouring, and their will inciting, the Bolshevists, forming the largest element of the Zimmerwaldian Left, passed from theory to practice, and undertook the realisation of their programme.

The Bolshevist revolution has helped us to interpret Socialist parties and men. The war had been the touchstone of their GOOD WILL; the revolution was the touchstone of their WILL. The formal organisation of the Third International—it being practically in existence—is an inevitable consequence of this revolutionary WILL.

By taking the initiative of organising at Moscow the First Congress of the Third International, with the assent and the active help of the members of the commission elected by the Zimmerwaldian Conferences, the Bolshevist Party accomplished a necessary task in agreement with all those international Socialists who believe in the necessity of a proletarian revolution and who desire it.

What does it matter that men who subscribed to the action taken at Zimmerwald and at Kienthal are to-day opposed to the Third International, in which they fail to recognise the logical consequences of the ideas which they expressed in the past? At a given moment they did reflect the spirit of the advanced guard of Socialism, others translate to-day its revolutionary and liberating aspirations: men pass away: ideas remain, become clarified, and find new interpreters.

On March 2nd, 1919, at Moscow, the Congress of the Communist parties (named thus to distinguish them from

 the reformist Socialists) decided to constitute themselves into the Third International, and founded the "Communist International," the official name of this new organisation.

This Congress farther decided:

That the definite constitution of the Communist International would be the work of the next Congress (the present formation being only provisional).

That the direction of the C.I. is confided to an ExecutieeExecutive [sic] Committee composed of a representative of each affiliated party.

That the parties adhering to the C.I. before the Second Congress takes place have a right to a seat on the Executive Committee. Thus the First Congress of the Communist International was careful not to impose too rigid conditions on the parties whose affiliations they invited, and reserved the definite foundation of the Third International for this purpose, with the co-operation of all the adherent groups.

In this small pamphlet we do not presume to give a complete exposition of, or to study deeply, the problem of the International, but only to emphasise its essential points, and rapidly to translate in concise form the ideas proclaimed by the Communist International, These are defined with vigour and clearness in the Manifesto and in the Resolutions of the First Congress.

The C.I. declares that the hour of the "final struggle" between proletariat and bourgeoisie, as expressed by the Communist Manifesto of 1848, has arrived.

It assigns to us the following task: "to gather up the revolutionary experience of the working classes, to rid the movement of the unhealthy blend of opportunism and social-patriotism, to unite the forces of all the truly revolutionary parties of the world proletarians, and thus to pave the way for, and to hasten the Communist revolution all over the world."

 Italy, and the United States, a responsibility which is amply proved by the Russian diplomatic archives.

The C.I. sees in the consequences of the war surprising revelations of the contradictions of the capitalist régime, the condemnation, without appeal, of the theory denoting "the progressive steps of Capitalism towards Socialism," upheld by the reformists. These latter contested the Marxist theory of the "pauperisation of the masses" as being the provocative cause of revolution; war amply demonstrates this pauperisation, this material impoverishment to which physiological poverty must be added.

Besides this, the state ownership of the economic life inevitably accomplishes its ends. It remains to be seen who will be master of state-owned production, the bourgeois or the proletarian State. If the working class does not wish to pay tribute to the capitalist clique, it must "seize hold of economic life, even though it be disorganised and destroyed, in order to ensure its being rebuilt on a Socialist basis."

In order to "shorten the time of crisis through which we are passing" we must establish "the dictatorship of the proletariat which does not look backward, nor does it take count of hereditary privilege or right of property, which, contemplating solely the salvation of starving masses, mobilises to that end by every means in its power, decrees the necessity of work for each individual, institutes discipline as an urgent need of the workers, in order not only to heal in a few years the horrible wounds made by the war, but finally to raise humanity to great and undreamed of heights."

The Communist International repudiates as a snare so-called bourgeois "democracy." Facts prove that in all fundamental questions on which the destiny of man depends, it is a financial oligarchy which rules, by virtue of "the weapons of falsehood, demagogy, persecution, calumny, corruption and terror, which centuries of slavery have placed at their disposal and which the privileges of capitalist technique have multiplied."

Bourgeois democracy has but one aim—to disarm the exploited by giving, them the illusion that they dispose of legal methods by which they can impose their claims.

 The Communist parties should endeavour to create that proletarian democracy which would abolish classes in abolishing economic privileges; their political expression must be Soviets, that is to say Workers' and Soldiers' Councils, a new type of proletarian organisation which will be self-governing. These Soviets represent political power: the organisations of industry and of production being vested in professional syndicates that are in direct touch with the technical organs of power of the Soviets. Such are the principal outlines of the Communist International defined in detail by the voted resolutions.

In short, these are the terms of the Manifesto itself: "if the war of 1870 dealt a blow to the First International by the revelation that behind its revolutionary and social programme there was no organised force of the masses, the war of 1914 has killed the Second International by demonstrating that over and above the powerful administration of the workers were parties subservient to bourgeois control."

"If the First International foresaw and prepared the way for approaching developments, if the Second International collected and organised the proletarian millions, the Third International is the International of the action of the masses and of revolutionary realisation."

The principles, the programme and the appeals of the Communist International have been systematically hidden from the masses by bourgeois speakers and their press and by social opportunists.

In France the facts are still unknown to the masses, and the prominence of the opportunists is due to this ignorance. But where facts were known and advertised the Socialist workers' organisations joined the Third International which gathered together the élite of the proletariat of the world.

The following is a list of the affiliated organisations:

In Russia, in Finland, in Esthonia, in Lettonia, in Lithuania, in White Russia, in Ukrainia, in Armenia, the Communist Parties.

In Poland, The Communist Labour Party composed of the fusion of the former Social Democratic Party with the Left Polish Social Party, holding a majority in the Workers' Councils.

In Spain, the Left of the Socialist Party, which obtained at the Congress of December 13th, 1919, 12,500 votes in favour of the Third International, against 14,000 on the Right, and the National Confederation of Workers which has a membership of a million.

In the United States, the Socialist Labour Party, united to the Industrial Workers of the World, the Communist Party, the Communist Labour Party, an important fraction of the Socialist Party, which latter is much reduced by the double secession of the Communists, and the Socialist Propaganda League.

In Mexico, the Communist Party, a former revolutionary fraction of the Socialist Party.

In Brazil and the Argentine, the Communist Parties.

In Australia, the Socialist Party.

In South Africa, the International Socialist League.

In Asia, important groups whose organisations, paralysed by the tyranny of eastern despots, are more often than not under the direction of members living in foreign countries. The Japanese have their Committee in the United States, the Koreans in Russia, etc.

Besides these the most important of the young Socialist organisations belong to the Communist International. From the 20th to the 26th November, 1919, the First Congress of the Young International Communists met secretly in Berlin.

Fourteen groups were represented of which the following is the list:

Communist Workers' Youth of Hungary, 15,000 members.

Working class Youth of Roumania, 6.500 members.

Socialist Youth of Switzerland, 2,000 members.

Several affiliating organisations like those of Belgium, England, the United States, were not able to send delegates because of the actual difficulties of communications.

Thus, in the space of a few months in spite of obstacles opposed to the delivery of the message, in spite of the difficulties placed in the way of its propagandists, the Third International is grouping the whole of the organisations of the revolutionary proletariat. And the rallying of those who are still waiting to affiliate is only delayed because the masses are deceived by their leaders.

In France, the active forces of the workers' syndicates, and of the Socialist Party, are already affiliated to the Third International, and these forces grow daily in numbers. We have reason to believe that the hour is not far distant when their influence will pervade the whole organisation.

"We recognise one another," said the Communists assembled at Moscow, "as the continuators of the direct efforts, and of the heroic martyrdoms accepted by a long series of revolutionary generations, from Babœuf dozen to Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg" May those workers and Socialists who recognise one another as the continuators of the work undertaken at the commencement of the last century by the first militant Communists, march under the banner of the Communist International, and recognise as their rallying point the purple standard on which shine the sickle and the hammer crossed, the emblem of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Russia.

 'tis too foul; I have indeed no Words for it; the English Language is not able to cover such dirty Work, so I must leave it, as I am forced to do several others; but you may depend upon it, if there is such a thing in Nature as that I call Matrimonial Whoredom; it was here in its highest Extent, and in the extreme of Indecency and Immodesty.

is true, these ought to have belonged to the Chapter of Marriages in unsuitable Years; but I rather place them here, because I treat these particular Articles as really criminal in themselves, and in the Nature of them; the other might be unhappy, occasioned by the unsuitable Circumstances; but these were, as I say, criminal; as Job says, they ought to have been punished by the Judge, they stink in the Nostrils of all modest People, and are hateful and odious in the Sight both of and Man.

bring it to the Case in hand: Here was the Essence of Matrimonial Whoredom; the meer incentive to this Marriage must be the wicked Part, the satisfying the brutal sensual Appetite. What can it be less? The Office of Matrimony was made but the Introduction, I had almost said the Usher, to the Whoredom; only that indeed the Matrimony is a passive Circumstance, not a voluntary Act; in a word, Matrimony is abused, and brought into it unjustly; and therefore, I think, they are right in foreign Countries, where, in such Cases, the Persons are liable to Punishment, not for the vitious Part only, which it is hard to come at there, as well as here; but they are liable, I say, to Punishment, for abusing the holy Sacrament, so they call Matrimony, and making it to be a Tool to hand them on to commit the Crime;

 this they call Insulting the Church, and, indeed, so I think it is; and they have their Ecclesiastick Constitutions, by which it is punishable, and the Priest is punished also that officiates in such a Marriage.

to quit this nauseous Part as soon as we can; untimely Marriages are certainly scandalous in their Nature, especially where the Age is unequal, where one, being young, and scarce Ripe, by the ordinary Course of Nature, for the Marriage Bed, the other is of full Age; 'tis not a Matrimonial Whoredom only; 'tis, in my Opinion, a kind of a Matrimonial Rape, because it has something of Violence offered to Nature in it on one side, and something odiously and criminally Immodest, on the other.

is true, and 'tis objected against me here, that in other Countries it is ordinary for the Children, especially of great Families, to come together young, and they have a usual Saying, that like Fruit gathered green, and laid up, they will ripen together; upon this Foot they frequently marry very early, the Ladies at eleven to twelve, and the Gentlemen at thirteen or fourteen; and, as it is the practice of the Country, there's no Scandal in it.

I have little to say to this Practice abroad; I know it is so in Spain, Portugal, and some other Places in the World; and there may be natural Reasons to be given in justification of the Practice; some taken from the Constitution of the People, some from the Climate, some from one Cause, some from another. Naturalists can say more to it than is needful here. Man and Woman have a Vegetative, as well as a sensitive and rational Life; and there may

 In the year 733, the Year of the Pig (1914 BE), His Divine Highness Borommarachathirat the Lord went to take northern towns and conquered all the northern towns.

In the year 734, the Year of the Rat (1915 BE), [His Divine Highness] went to take Nakhon Phangkha Town and Saengchrao Town. [He] conquered the towns.

In the year 735, the Year of the Ox (1916 BE), [His Divine Highness] went unto Chakangrao Town, and Phaya Saikaeo, together with Phaya Khamhaeng, lord of Chakangrao Town, came out to fight and strive against him. He smote Phaya Saikaeo unto death, whilst Phaya Khamhaeng and all his men successfully fled into the town. Then the royal host returned home.

In the year 736, the Year of the Ox (1917 BE), His Divine Highness Borommarachathirat the Lord, together with the high priest Thammakanlayan, commenced the building of Phra Si Rattana Maha That [in] the eastern sector. Facing the Gable With Rows of Lions, it stood one sen and three wa tall.

In the year 737, the Year of the Rabbit (1918 BE), [His Divine Highness] went to take Phitsanulok Town and, on that occasion, captured the person of Khun Samkaeo, lord of the town, as well as a great number of migrant households.

In the year 738, the Year of the Dragon (1919 BE), [His Divine Highness] went to take Chakangrao Town. On that occasion, Phaya Khamhaeng and Thao Phakhong bethought themselves that they should halt the royal host; and being unlikely to succeed, Thao Phakhong then recalled his troops and took flight; and [His Divine Highness] then proceeded to march [His] royal host after them; and Thao Phakhong was put to rout; and, on that occasion, captured were many of the royalty and nobility, both senior and junior. Then the royal host returned.

In the year 740, the Year of the Horse (1921 BE), [His Divine Highness] went to take Chakangrao Town. On that occasion, Mahathammaracha came out to fight the royal host with all his might; and finding it impossible to strive against the royal host, Mahathammaracha then came out to offer homage.

Note 5.4 Pronoun: Verb Suffix Pronouns used in apposition for emphasis. The Verb Suffix Pronouns are used not only to indicate the direct or indirect object of the verb (Note 3.2.1) as in /yıdgəmut/ 'repeat it', but can also be used with a verb which already has a noun as a specific object, as in the sentence /yıhın Kal yıdgəmut/ above. The pronoun suffix is here in apposition to the preceding noun object, which must have a definite suffix. The use of this pronominal suffix on the verb is emphatic and may or may not be used by Amharic speakers, e.g. 'he saw the house' may be either /betun ayyə/ or /betun ayyəw/. The suffix is not used if the object of the verb is indefinite, e.g. /bet ayyə/ or /and bet ayyə/ 'he saw a house'.

It should be noted that with the verbs which may have direct and indirect objects—for example 'to give something (direct object), to somebody (indirect object)—the suffix pronoun is  the, and not an emphasizer.

Examples: but:

 "Ow is to be pronounced throughout as in how; never as in low which would be expressed by lo.

"Ch must be pronounced as in church.

"All other vowels and consonants, separate or combined, to be pronounced strictly according to the requirements of the English Alphabet."

Letters appearing in brackets are not to be pronounced. The word is to be sounded as if that letter were dropped out.

Each word must be pronounced distinctly in Chinese, and in the exact tone in which the Chinese say it.

No breaks in the voice should be made between the words joined by hyphens, or at the best but little,—the pauses of the voice being made between those which are not joined thus. This pamphlet, of course, has no intention of doing away with a living instructor; for if it is of importance in the acquisition of French, German, Italian, and the other European languages, that one, who desires to have a correct pronunciation, should learn from the living voice, much more is it absurd to suppose that one can learn Chinese simply from books. And unskilled as the Chinese are in the art of imparting a knowledge of their own language to Foreigners, it is almost a sine qua non that the learner should have certain lines on which to work with his teacher, else the scholar has "a potentiality," to use one of Dr. Johnson's big words, of acquiring knowledge in the person of the teacher, but without a phrase book, or other help, it cannot be utilised. In other words, a Chinese sen sahng is like a deep well of water, and the student has to weary himself out with the labour of drawing out the knowledge, from a well of Chinese undefiled. The learner will therefore find it necessary to check his pronunciation by some Chinese, and he must not be surprised to find that many Hakkas pronounce many of the words in this book differently to the spelling given here, nor are the tones, in which each word is uttered, the same in different parts of the country; for, unfortunately, the wave of confusion which swept from the tower of Babel seems to be still dashing and roaring with all its pristine force in Eastern Asia. It is said there are as many different dialects, sub-dialects and local patois in China as there are days in the year. Be this as it may, there is a sufficient number to add to the difficulties of the acquisition of any dialect.

 I cannot pretend to hope that the book, simple as it is, will be found to be free from all error; for what book is there, let it be prepared by as eminent a sinologist as you like, but in which a few hours search will discover not a few mistakes? If this pamphlet will prove as useful to a beginner in the Hakka Dialect as its prototype (Giles' Hand-book of Swatow) proved to me, in my commencement of the study of the Swatow dialect, the labour spent on it will not have been of no avail.

RV 52 (Rh) Note 5.5.1 /k(ə)-/ 'from'

The prefix preposition /k(ə)-/, (/kə-/ before consonants /k-/ before vowels), is equivalent to the English preposition 'from', when affixed to nouns, their modifiers or to the verbal nouns ('Infinitives'). Other meanings of /k(ə)-/, as well as its use as a relational affix to verbs will be discussed in later units.

In some Amharic dialects this prefix is /t(ə)-/. The /t(ə)-/ form appears in some compounds, such as /bəst(ə)-/ (Note 4.6.1) = /bə + ıstə/ for /bə + ıskə/; /təkkul/ (Note 8.1) = /tə + ıkkul/ for /kə + ıkkul/, etc.

Note 5.5.2 /ısk(ə)-/ 'up to', 'to'

The prefix preposition /ısk(ə)-/ (/ısk-/ before vowels, /ıskə-/ before consonants) corresponds in meaning to the English preposition 'to', 'up to'. This preposition may be used either independently as in the above example or with the postposition /dırəs/ 'up to'. e.g.

Note 5.5.3 /l(ə)-/ 'for', 'to'

The prefix preposition /l(ə)-/ (/lə-/ before consonants, /l-/ before vowels) corresponds in meaning to the English prepositions 'for' or 'to' when affixed to nouns, their modifiers or verbal nouns ('Infinitives'). Other usages of this affix will be discussed in later units.

Note 5.6 Postpositions: The postpositions /wısT/ 'in', 'inside' and /lay/ 'on', 'upon' used in combination with the prefix prepositions /b(ə)-/ or /ı-/.

/wısT/ 'in', 'inside' and /lay/ 'on', 'upon' follow the word they govern. These postpositions may appear either in suffix forms, as in /ıfoKlay/ or as separate words, as in /ıfoK lay/.

Both /wısT/ and /lay/ are used in combination with the prefix preposition /b(ə)-/ (see Unit 4.6.1) or /ı/ (zero before /a/ and /ı/, see Note 3.3), e.g. /bəbete wısT/ or /ıbete wıst/ 'in my house'; /bandəññaw foKlay/ or /andəññaw foKlay/ 'on the first floor'.

CLEOPATRA, Queen of Egypt, was the daughter of Ptolemy XII. (Auletes). By her father’s will she became, at the age of seventeen, heiress to the throne, conjointly with her brother Ptolemy XIII. to whom, according to the Egyptian custom, she was to be married. Being older than her brother, she thought herself entitled to wield the sceptre alone; but the young king, instigated by his courtiers, attempted to exclude Cleopatra from the throne; and the princess was under the necessity of retiring to Syria, where she levied an army to march against her brother. About this period, Pompey was assassinated by order of Ptolemy; and Cæsar, though he had little cause to regret being delivered from so powerful an adversary, conceived the deepest hatred and contempt towards the Egyptian prince. Cæsar possessed virtues and passions, which frequently carried him away even from the views of his own interest; and he succeeded in his enterprises rather through genius than calculation. Ptolemy Auletes had appointed the Roman people tutor to his children. Cæsar, in his quality of dictator, assumed the power of exercising every authority, and declared himself the arbiter of the differences existing between Ptolemy and Cleopatra. The princess anxiously wished to dispatch to Alexandria some individual competent to take up her defence; but Cæsar advised her to proceed thither herself without delay. Fearing lest she might be recognised on entering the city, she requested Apollodorus, the friend in whom she reposed most confidence, to wrap her up in a carpet, and thus convey her unobserved into Cæsar’s chamber. By this bold stratagem she won the heart of the conqueror.

According to Plutarch, Appian of Alexandria, and Dion Cassius, Cleopatra was not strikingly beautiful; but her talent and grace diffused so many charms over her person, that it was impossible not to admire her. She spoke several languages, possessed extensive general knowledge, and, above all, excelled in the art of pleasing. Her oriental education had imbued her with a taste for magnificence, which subdued the imagination; and, from her constant relations with Greece, she had acquired the more potent charms of the language and seductions of that nation. Cæsar was so enchanted with her, that, on the following day, he insisted that her brother should divide the throne, and become reconciled to her. The young prince was astonished to learn that Cleopatra had visited the palace of Cæsar, and well knowing the means by which she had seduced her judge, he immediately hastened to the city, declaring that he was betrayed. He thus excited an insurrection, which Caesar was only enabled to quell, by proving to the people that he had merely executed the will of Ptolemy. But the eunuch Pothinus, whose plans were frustrated by this reconciliation, in concert with Achilles, an Egyptian general, secretly advanced with a number of troops to surprise Cæsar, who was attended only by a small force. Though besieged in his palace, the dictator defended himself until, by receiving a reinforcement from Syria, he defeated the Egyptians. This occasioned the death of Ptolemy, who, from the mortification of this defeat, drowned himself in the Nile. Then Caesar was enabled to crown Cleopatra without opposition; he placed her on the throne, and having given her in marriage to her younger brother, who was then only eleven years of age, he departed, though reluctantly, to subdue the remains of Pompey’s party. Shortly afterwards Cleopatra was delivered of a son, whom she named Cæsarion. On her return to Rome (46 years A. C.) Cæsar received her, together with her youthful husband, in his own palace; he classed them among the friends of the Roman people, and placed golden statues of Cleopatra beside those of Venus, in the temple which he erected to the Goddess of Love. These honors gave offence to the Romans. The Queen of Egypt shortly after returned to her own states, where, in order to become absolute mistress of the kingdom, she administered poison to Ptolemy, who had, by that time, attained his fourteenth year.

 or that of boys, clownish, yet revealing through their bounding ridiculous animality the force and meaning of that chemistry and urge toward mating which lies back of all youthful thought and action. And in herself, as from time to time she observed lovers or flirtation-seekers who lingered at street corners or about doorways, and who looked at her in a longing and seeking way, there was a stirring, a nerve plasm palpitation that spoke loudly for all the seemingly material things of life, not for the thin pleasantries of heaven.

And the glances drilled her like an invisible ray, for she was pleasing to look at and was growing more attractive hourly. And the moods in others awakened responsive moods in her, those rearranging chemisms upon which all the morality or immorality of the world is based.

And then one day, as she was coming home from school, a youth of that plausible variety known as “masher” engaged her in conversation, largely because of a look and a mood which seemed to invite it. And there was little to stay her, for she was essentially yielding, if not amorous. Yet so great had been her home drilling as to the need of modesty, circumspection, purity and the like, that on this occasion at least there was no danger of any immediate lapse. Only this attack once made, others followed, were accepted, or not so quickly fled from, and by degrees, these served to break down that wall of reserve which her home training had served to erect. She became secretive and hid her ways from her parents.

Youths occasionally walked and talked with her in spite of herself. They demolished that excessive shyness which had been hers, and which had served to put others aside for a time at least. She wished for other contacts—dreamed of some bright, gay, wonderful love of some kind, with some one.

Finally, after a slow but vigorous internal growth of mood and desire, there came this actor, one of those vain, handsome, animal personalities, all clothes and airs, but no morals (no taste, no courtesy or real tenderness even), but of compelling magnetism, who was able within the space of one brief week and a few meetings to completely befuddle and enmesh her so that she was really his to do with as he wished. And the truth was that he scarcely cared for her at all. To him, dull as he was, she was just another girl—fairly pretty, obviously sensuous and inexperienced, a silly who could be taken by a few soft words—a show of seemingly sincere affection, talk of the opportunity of a broader, freer life on the road, in other great cities, as his wife.

18 And yet his words were those of a lover who would be true forever. All she had to do, as he explained to her, was to come away with him and be his bride, at once—now. Delay was so vain when two such as they had met. There was difficulty about marriage here, which he could not explain—it related to friends—but in St. Louis he had a preacher friend who would wed them. She was to have new and better clothes than she had ever known, delicious adventures, love. She would travel with him and see the great world. She would never need to trouble more about anything save him; and while it was truth to her—the verbal surety of a genuine passion—to him it was the most ancient and serviceable type of blarney, often used before and often successful.

In a single week then, at odd hours, morning, afternoon and night, this chemic witchery was accomplished.

Coming home rather late one Saturday night in April from a walk which he had taken about the business heart, in order to escape the regular Saturday night mission services, Clyde found his mother and father worried about the whereabouts of Esta. She had played and sung as usual at this meeting. And all had seemed all right with her. After the meeting she had gone to her room, saying that she was not feeling very well and was going to bed early.

She sometimes walked out alone, or sat or stood in front of the mission during its idle or closed hours.

This search revealing nothing, Clyde and he had walked to a corner, then along Missouri Avenue. No Esta. At twelve they returned and after that, naturally, the curiosity in regard to her grew momentarily sharper.

At first they assumed that she might have taken an unexplained walk somewhere, but as twelve-thirty, and finally one, and one-thirty, passed and no Esta, they were about to notify the police, when Clyde, going into her room, saw a note pinned to the pillow of her small wooden bed—a missive that had escaped the eye of his mother. At once he went to it, curious and comprehending, for he had often wondered in what way, assuming that he ever wished to depart surreptitiously, he would notify his parents, for he knew they would never countenance his departure unless they
