And most dreadful of all was that In
prison he had come TO feel such regret for
his young strength and for the Joys he
had sacrificed so easily while at liberty
and which now appeared to him so en-
chanting, that he regretted that which he
had regarded as good, sometimes even
doubling all his former activity Thoughts
occurred TO him as to how happily and
we'll he might have lived at liberty. In the
country or abroad among beloved and
loving people; marry her, or perhaps an
other. and together live bright simple,
joyful life.
During one of the painfully monotonous
daVS OF the second month of his imprison-
ment the governor OF the prison. during
his usual round. gave Syetlogoub q little
book with cross gilded on Its brown
cover, saying that the wife OF the military
governor had left some New Testaments,
which he was permitted TO distribute
among the prisoners ;SNetlogoub thanked
him, and. with a slight smile, placed the

that he had surrendered almost all his

his father-to this cause, neither did he to
the labors and the want which he had

caused by this activity to his mother and
the young lady. her ward, who lived with
his mother and who loved him.

not much like, an unpleasant man, being

At one OF these periods Of disillusion-
ment he went to Kief, and there met ono
of his most intimate university friends.
TEis man three years later was executed
in the moat OF the. Kief fortress
He was an impulslve, enthusiastic man
of great ability, and persuaded SYetlogoub
to join a society for the purpose OF en-
tightening the people, instilling In them

Into collective groups, with the intention
of freeing them from the power OF the
landowners and the Government Inter
