posed here which illustrates the deceptions
to which the revolutionists are resorting in
order to penetrate the military secrets Of
the government and to open up channels
for their propaganda into the army.

headquarters Of the commander Of the
Kharkov garrison representing himself as
Lieut.. Bojotsky, aid-de-camp Of Gen. Suk-
homlinen, ,commander Of the military district
Of Kiev, in which Kharkov lies. He pre-
sented what purported to be an official doc
ument authorizing him to transmit orders
regarding the disposition Of the troops.
The idea of questioning his authority
never seemed to have entered the mind Of
the commander of the garrison, who re-
ceived him with the greatest attention and
turned over for inspection all the official
military documents in his possession. For
several weeks Lieut. Bojostky" was enter
tained by the officers, was prominent

Murder, help" he screamed as the door was closed on him, and his cries could be heard far up the stairway where he was taken to confinement.
 There was hardly a dry eye in and about the jail. Men looked on in dead silence and after the door was locked walked out without a word. They could not see their way. to anything in the way of comment to fit the case. It was simply pitiful, that was all. A boy too bad for the parents to control; a call for the state to take him in hand with the hopo that it might inflict such discipline as would do what the father and mother had not been able to do.
 It Is said by the father and officers Of the law that the boy can not be con- trolied. Several times he has been in trouble with the courts and he has made life q terror at times, it is said, for his parents. An effort was made to keeu kim at tome and to make him at tend school. It is expected that the boy will be taken care of at the reform school where there is said now to be a wonder fully strong organization.
