Marriages by order were so commou, ��y�� Prince Kropotkin In Tho Atlantis, ihat among our servants, eaoh time ��� (*oung couple foresaw that they might be ordered to marry, although they had ne mutual Inclination for eaoh other, they took tbe precaution of standing togethe* aa godfather and godmother at tho christening of a child tn one of the peasant families. This tendered marriage Impossible, according to Russian church law. The stratagem was usually successful, but once it.ended ln a drama. Andrei, the tailor, fell ln love with a girl belonging to one of onr neighbors. He hoped thnt my father would permit blm to go free, as a tailor, ln exchange for a certain yearly payment and that by working hard at bli trade he oould manage to lay some money aside and to buy freedom for the girl; otherwise, ln marrying one of my father's serfs she would have become the serf of her husband's master. However, M Andrei and one of tho maids of our household foresaw that tbey might be ordered to marry they agreed to unite u godparents ln the christening of a child. What they had feared happened. One day they were called to the master, and tii. dreaded order was given. "We are alwayg obedient to your will," tbey replied, "but a few weeks ago we acted as godfather and godmother at a christening." Andrei also explained his wishes and Intentions. The result was that ho wns sent to the recruiting board to become i soldier. Military service in these tliueg was terrible. It required a man to serve 25 years under the colors, ami the life of a soldier was hard ln the extreme.
