TIE WHIPPING POST

BY the amnesty Of October 30. 1905,
many Russian political prisoners
emerged once more into the light Of
day from the gloomy fortresses where
they had been confined, in some cases.
for years. Among these was one Mar"
tina Grusenherg, who had been a cap.
tive In the fortress OF Schlusselburg,
near Lake Ladogor for over IL years.
A Jewess by faith, she had unfortu-
nately dabbled in nihllism, and was
crushed by the juggernaut Of Russian
autocracy. Some 20 Of the leaders Of
the unsuccessful revolt in Moscow were
lately sent to the Schlusselburg, await
ing them life OF hardship and suffer
ings
Prior to 1889 II appears the condl-
tions prevailing in the fortress were
comparatively humane, but In that
year a new era OF severity was initial.
ed. Three important concessions were
Withdrawn from the prisoners. They
were forbidden to read any books save
religious ones, they were forced to take
their restricted exercise daily alone.
and they were not allowed the use of
artificial light on the plea Of intended
immediate installation Of electric
light. All candles were removed from
the cells and what that means may
be imagined when 1t is remembered
that In mid-wlnter darkness sets, in in
Russia as early as three o'clock in the
afternoon.

Madman's Awful Revenge.

A prisoner called Linbomirof, who
had blown of his own arm while ex-
perimenting with an Internal machine
was a workingman and entirely with
out means or influence, and the ward
ems made no secret Of their dislike OF
him and treated him with the greatest
cruelty. They would deprive him OF
food or beat and kick him for failing
TO have his cell in order within the
regulation time, thing which for him
in his one-armed condition, well nigh
was impossible.
This man finally lost his reason, and,
with the ingenuity of mailman,
planned a terrible vengeance. He
made a rope by twisting up strips Of
his sheets and smeared It with dust
and dirt so as to make It invisible in
the darkness. This rope he tied across
the doorway of his cell some inches
above the ground. When the warden
who was his special enemy appeared
next day, Linbomiroff made a gesture
as II to strike him.
The warden rushed at him, trlpped
over the rope. and, receiving a ire.
mendous blow from the prisoner, fell
senseless. The wretched mailman set
on him. unconscious as he was, dug
his nails into the warden's eyes, cut on
his fingers, and after setting his hair
alight, flung him into the corridor.
