BABY IS A SOLDIER.
Shall Return and Fulfill
Her Contract.

A peculiar incident, illustrating the
tedious process of Russian law and the
extreme hardness of Russian justice, is
told by A. Makiel, a recent emigrant
from that country who was a witness
in case which required II years to get
a decision. He left the country some
time ago and has recently been informed
of the outcome, reports the Minneapolis
Journal.
Mr.. Markell came to Minneapolis on ac--
count Of dislike toward him in the
neighborhood of Kishineff because he
expressed sympathy for the homeless
Hebrews. His attitude was considered
nihilistic by some, and, although he is
not Jew himself, he thought he would
be better off in a free country.
In 1886 boy was born to nobleman
living near Kishineff and, according to
the custom, a nurse was hired to have
sole charge of the child until he became
old enough to be placed in the schools
The nurse was compelled to sign con-
tract binding her to service for five
years. She did her work faithfully for
two years, and then broke her contract
by marrying young workman who was
often employed at the nobleman's house.
She had, however, been so faithful to
her little charge and done her work so
we'll that the father brought suit in the
provincial court to make her return and
comply with her contract.
In the trial in the lower courts the
case was decided in favor of the girl, but
the nobleman had money, and the case
was carried up by those mysterious
methods known only in Russia until 1t
finally reached the highest court of the
land. This august body, called the high
synod. after considerable delay and ar
| gument rendered a verdict to the effect
that, inasmuch as the girl had signed
the contract, she must return at once
and fulfill it, imprisonment is the pen
atty for refusing to obey the courts or
ders and the girl, now prosperous ma
tron, is in quandary as to her next
move. for the little boy is now serving
his time in the Russian army. Mr.. Ma
kiel says he does not know whether the
high synod looked at the date of the doc
uments of appeal.
