The Russian “Last Laugh” 9 A tremendous tragedy of an‘old ma torn in his devotion FROM “AZURE CITIES” Vassili Alexeievich Buzheninov, home to recuperate from a nerv- ous breakdown incurred while a student in the Moscow school of architecture, falls in love with Nadezhda (Nadya) Ivanovna, his old mother’s ward and the sole support of the household. Buz- heninov spends much time brood- ing over his plans for rebuilding Moscow on the ruins of the past, but he does nothing. Nadya does not return his love and is not very sympathetic to his plans. ‘While sitting by the river one day, an old Red Army comrade; Khoty- aintsey, meets Buzheninov. The latter speaks ardently of the days of the past and expresses his dis- sust with the life about him which e finds too prosaic. Khotyaint- ev tells him that it requires greater courage to do the every- day tasks than to rush against an enemy in battle. Utyovkin, office manager of the place where Nadya works, is in love with her and very jealous of Buzheninoy. The town gossips about Buzheninov and Na- dya and she talks to him about it, but the talk only leaves him con- fused. Nadya is in the habit of visiting her friends, the Maslovs, and gossipping with Zoya Maslov loyery evening. Buzheninov over- hz \hthde of the town, jesting with hm ene evening. He is greatly igset and remembering Khotyaint- ‘sev's words, determines to bury ‘himself in work. He works fey- crishly on his plan for the Azure City; late in June he decides to return 35 Moscow. * * * , (Continued from Yesterday.) HIS is what happened. At half- past eight, before going to work, Nadya, with a portfolio and in a shite kerchief, had looked as usual ato the dining-room where Buzhen- noy was leaning over the table, and cr eyes: slipped, indifferently over he Azure City which occupied half he wall. She walked out silently. “he garden gate grated. and this s Sashok Zhigalev, a young | ery from Nadya. She ran through the vestibule, tore open the |door, and threw herself, head and shoulders, on the table among the sketches. “Scoundrel, scoundrel!” she cried, stamping her feet and weeping aloud. In the courtyard Matryona was cursing with full voice: “Ah, the scoundrels, ah, the bandits!” “Leave us, do you hear, leave us this very minute!” Nadya repeated through her tears. It seems that the gate was smeared in three places with tar, and a vulgar word was written in yard-high letters on it, also in tar. Matryona had already opened the two halves of the gate into the court- yard, and was removing the tar with lye water. Nadya did not go to work. She locked herself in. The hands of Vassili Alexeievich shook so that his pencil dropped. He tried to knock at Nadya’s door. “Get out. You alone are responsi- ible for my dishonor,” Nadya cried even more angrily. “Go back to your Moscow, you innocent, you parasite...” * * * HS hands shook more and more. In his breast he felt the uneven, trembling beat of his pulse. Vas- sili Alexeievich stood for some time in the room,—the flies were creep- ing on nis face. Then it somehow happened that he found himself on the square. (Another piece missing from his consciousness.) The white sun burned in the hot mist above him. A pillar of dust rose on the square and circled over the dry ma- nure. Vassili Alexeievic! gazed at the windows of the “Renaissance.” Some visitors were already drinking beer there. And now a long, wavy nose appeared in the window from behind the wall. Buzheninov was being watched. He clamped his teeth together, and ran up the stairway into the beer parlor, But the wavy nose had disappeared. The blooming, nowcered Raisa looked from behind the bar with terrific curiosity, and vas at once followed by a low, sickly her little mouth, like a thread International Publishers.

Only a few sleepy hens wandered in the hot dust. Raisa saw him raise his fists to his temples, press his head tightly, and make for the river, Towards evening he was seen in the meadows, sitting on a mound. He stayed there all night.
