Up on the highest point of the
Colswold hills In Gloucestershlre is n
little colony Of practical followers of
Count Tolstol, people who believe that
Il ID wrong to live in any way by the
labor of others. Unable to carry their
faith into practise in the outside
world, they have settled in this re.
mote corner OF England to extract
their living from an inhospltable soil
by the labor Of their own hands.
One must not suppose, however,
That this is colony of wild eyed

them nothing In return. and one or

to Jail for their principles. but even
the country people round about to-.
day are forced To admit that they are
good neighbors, pay their debts and
bother no one-this In spite of the
active opposition Of squire ami par.
son, who regard them as dangerous
eI emies of church and state.
The little colony, which IS known
az Whiteway is situated about the
center OF triangle the angles Of
which are formed by The towns Of
G oucester, Cirorcestcr ami Stroud
II Is approached by mountainous
roads and lies about seven miles from
Stroud, which is the nearest railway

The land owned by the colony
stretches along the side Of a Hill and
comprises about sixteen acres. The
tract was left to set Of trustees

The English bishop of Salisbury is

that the refreshment room would FALL

gravely requested that everybody
