It was expected that this deed world take away the fear of any member of the Romanov family Rul no Russia again. Far a time the chief Man of rus Sia was Alexander Kerensky he believed in keeping up the War against Germany. Other russian leaders were against letting the War go on. They waited peace with Germany even if it was a hard peace with loss of land by Russia. Chief of such Lead ers was Nicolai Lenin and Leon Trotzky. Their was made up of the so called eight months after the Czar s reign ended the bolsheviks took Power. Kerensky fled from Russia and escaped with his life. Soon after the bolsheviks won their Way. The Farmers or peasants were told to seize the estates Large landowners and to Divide them up. In much the same Way the in factory workers seized the factories and started to run them. Since that time Russia has changed in Many ways. Hundreds of thousands of Farmers have moved into cities and have become work men in factories. Those who stayed on the farms have been pressed to join one another in forming Large collective farms. In 1930 i made a Short visit Friendly sounds of a or a dog Barking distinctly. An Early morning train left Mars land at six five and David thought it would probably connect with other trains so that they could reach the coast by afternoon. They had six hours to big hard ship on a summer night. Half a mile further on he knew that the Side of the Road heaped into a dry bed of Bracken some times by Ling around he had paused there for a few minutes rest. It was a place called Potts Corner though Why and who Potts was nobody knew. But there was a big Elm growing there and a signpost marking a Field path to Stamford Magna. So when they were tired of talk ing they walked to the Corner and Lay Down on the turf and Bracken. There Are some moments that Are Hung in memory like a lamp they Shine and swing gently and one can look Back on them when All else has faded into distance and dark Ness. Often afterwards David remembered that Roadside Corner and the hours he spent there and some times he thought of things he would like to have said and done while there was yet a Chance but Actu Tussia hoping to find out something of the truth about the country. During my visit i Felt As if i were trying to live in a partly finished House. Before the world War Only about Jne fourth of the russian people would read and write. Today it is claimed that about three fourths have Learned to read and write. That has been listed As a gain and the same is True of russian Progress in building up the steel Industry and other industries the other hand the people Russia have not obtained True free Dom of speech of Freedom of the press. Many observers believe the had been asleep and he was sur russians Are More fearful of saying prised when she suddenly woke up ally he said and because he was did very Little. Tired and with tiredness had come an old familiar inability to make up his mind. Presently with his arms round her she fell asleep. A Little wind stirred in the Elm overhead the air grew Chilly As the night advanced. He began to wish that he had brought an overcoat. For that matter he wished he had brought food and far More Money than was in his pockets and then he reflected How bad he really was at planning these things and How much More efficient Jessica would have been. And also he remembered Leni s own carelessness of detail when she had tried to take her life at Sand Mouth strange that he should be showing such similar Lack of fore thought in his efforts to save it. And then he began to feel sleepy himself. Dawn Dawn of that first Day of War. He got up. Leaving her still sleeping and walked a few Yards to the signpost Stamford Magna 2 to peace How Many Days months years he lit a pipe and watched the Dawn turn to Sunrise. The spire of said something in a foreign language. Well More than sur flabbergasted. The gloves allusion was explained to a different audience As follows did i Ever Tell you gents about that time i was in the train with him going to san Mouth y know it s funny the Way you remember things. Well thanks sir very kind of you. Well i was of dozing off y know the same an you do in trains when suddenly the Doc stumbles Over my feet waking me up sudden and i see him deliberately throw one of his gloves out of the window. Goodness is the fellow i see to myself for it was a Good Glove by the look of it real Kici. Course i asked him what the idea was. And i la take a bet none of you Fellers can t guess the answer. I thought it would stump you stumped me at the time.

Then later when they reached some bigger place they could have a real breakfast. He roused her and they passed on together facing the Early mor Ning sunlight. Soon the Road entered the Long level stretch at the end of which could be seen the station buildings and a signal Tower. It was ten to six when they approached the Entrance to the ticket office and David had another of those precautionary ideas that Only occur to people who Are not really Good at suddenly occurred tto him that at the station and substantial gestures of endorse ment and co operation May be looked for from employers superiors and those in influential positions either in business diplomacy or fraternal organizations.
