Point fifteen years ago for his former
home in Poland, Russia, has unexpect-
eddy returned after an eventful expert
ence. Shortly after Count Bielski
reached Poland he was arrested and
cast into prison on charge of being in
possession of Nihilistic secrets, and was
detained for more than SIX months, an
attempt being made to starve him into
telling something he knew nothing
about. He was finally released after
an enormous outlay of money, only to
be rearrested twice thereafter. The
counts mother, who has since died,
was then in good financial circum-
stances, and to save her son from being
banished to Siberia, she spent between
$50, 900 and $4,000. Count De Bielski
is now with the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern railway as travelling inspector,
with headquarters in Chicago and
Boston. He is now endeavoring to
locate his wife and children.
