The ;ournal !, not a daily journal
but what may be csllss an intermittent
one. 1t comes out when II can. The
first business Is TO collect material
For this purpose the reporting s..sfl
after scanty meal on the old remains
Of last nights supper, wraps itself in
Its CLOAK and sallies ont to watch pub
lilo events. It is irrssistibly att; acted
by sort Of magnetic instinct to places
where there may be somebody to shoot
at. 1t goes to the great square in front
Of the winter palace, or to the environs
OF the public Offices. 1t has a pistol in
it's pocket as well as psn. There is
no knowing what may turn up, and
the staff has generally a standing or.
der to put q sEar or minister out Of
the way. With this double duty in
view it is always sure Of some result.
If 1t cannot get near enough to kill, it

soldiers will allow and finally, when
the Gear or Minister drives by, with
swift trotting horses and Cossacks
before, and behind, it darts such look
Of hate at him as would do the work
more etfsctually than knife or pistol, ii
looks could kill.

The little back room is locked and bolt

against the door. The dual member
lays . loaded revolver within easy
reach, and the printing department is
in full activity. The type Is taken
from under the mattress, and the lead

footstep, which threatens to turn 1t all
into an immediate "pi." HFw the
