Kroukowski. the Russian Fra Diavolo. who
has just been convicted at Loutsk. was in some
degree. says our Paris correspondent, boule-
Warbler, and ten years ago ran the rig here of a
spendthrift Cresus. In his youth he was often
taken to Paris. and received part of his educa-
ton in a school in the Rue de Courcelles. His
parents belonged to the circle Of the late Prince
Demidoff. and when Kroukowski ran through
his fortune in Paris and at the CAV winter re-
sorts of the south of France he determined to
organize gang of bandits and to terrorize and
plumber the province of Volhynia.
His first recruits were his men servants. who.
perhaps. were slavishly obedient to him, and
from habits of docility allowed him to enroll
them In gang having robbery for its object.
Peasants were then constrained to accept his
leadership. He conceived the scheme as q

pillaged the country houses of the mobiles, let

genius for Disgusting himself.

troops to escape through them. When Russia
was made too hot for him he got away to Galicia
to begin afresh. He was there closely pursued
One day he was on the point of being taken
He was in a Russian officers uniform. and the
idea struck him of going to call on the Austrian
officer who was pursuing him. As the orderly
was taking up his card he jumped on a sadded
horse and galloped off. He was once offered
by the father Of fair prisoner a large fortune
if he would marry her and reform, but having
passion for village girl he refused. 1t was
at a rendezvous with this girl that he was taken.

Following up the river along the old Con-

Christmas the fist thing that was noticed was
the fact that the wind did have biting chill

rate Of some hundred miles an hour and
straight from the immediate neighborhood of
the long-sought north pole. The second fact
noted was there was a remarkably large num-

loaded with something to sell, from two-ton
pile Of hay down to little jag of wood that
would scarcely count for a quarter of cord
and would hardly pay for the trouble Of gath

near the Christmas season and every farmer
son of them needed a little ready money for
presents and a general celebration Of the
festive occasion. Coming back in the early
dusk Of the short winters day those same
wagons were net vending their weary way
homeward. The wagons themselves had not so
