For II years he was an exile in Siberia. to-l
gether with six of his brothers, but they all
were released finally, and reached Canadal
about six years ago. His followers almost
defy him, as they had his six great predecessors
who ruled like the kings or prophets of old
during the time that the sect sojourned in
Russia. During his long exile he became
firm convert to the theories of Tostoy, and 13
years ago wrote an epistle to his followers
which is made up chiefly of passages borrowed
verbatim from Tostoy's Kingdom of God
Is Within YOU" and containing in particular
one long passage from that book-a quotation
Of Tostoys translation of the Declaration OF
Sentiments which William Lloyd Garrison
drew up in 1888 for Peace convention held in
Boston. This epistle is part of the sacred lore
of the Doukhobors. 1t contains acknowl-
edgmcnt of the fact that it was taken mostly
from Tostoy. There probably are more people
in Assnboa and Saskatchewan to-day who
repeat the long passage from Garrisons
declaration than there are IN the United
States who ever heard of it.
The disturbers among the Doukhobors be.
long to the reactionaTy fanatical element,
and these made themselves felt 10 such an
extent before Verigin arrived in Canada that
at time there was serious talk Of bundling
up all of the thousands of Doukhobors and
shipping them out of Canada-no one cared
much whittier. At that time it was con-
sdered that the car had played a colossal
joke on Canada by letting the 1000 odd Douk-
hobors leave his realm, and it was matter
of congratuation among the Canadians that
the 10000 or more who stayed behind in the
Wet mountains of the Caucasus were too stub
born or too fearful to emigrate.
il was this fanatica element that was re-
sponsible for the pilgrimage in search of
Jesus" in 1902. These fanatics belonged to
the Yorlton colonists and professed the be-
lief that the of animals as beasts of bur
den was unscriptural and that Christ would
soon come again in person They set free
nearly 800 animals-which were caught by the
authorities and sold back to the more sober
minded Doukhobors. Meantime some 600 men,
women and children set out across the snow
covered prairie where they expected the Mes
siah to meet them and lead them to evangelize
the world They were poorly clad, they were
without food, except such as they could get
from charitable people on the way. and their

through their own stubbornness about obeying
the laws. They received their land under the
terms of the Canadian homestead act which
among other things, requires that the person
who takes up a homestead shall reside on it
until he proves up" Now the solitary life
of the homesteader has no attraction for the
Doukhobor with his agesold fondness for vii
lage living. The result was that the Douk-
hobors, instead of remaining on their home
steads, established themselves in a string OF
villages, between 40 and 80 in number that
sprawl across the plains for distance of 100
miles northeast of YoTkton
In due course the government gently re-
minded the Doukhobor leaders that their peo-
pie were in danger of losing their homesteads
through their failure to live on them The
stolid refugees paid no attention to the warn
ing, and, i'm the end they had their own way
The powers of the Dominion decided TO let
them hold their land and live as they wished

ly to be the last. Not long ago movement
was started in certain quarters where the hos
tity to the Spirit Wrestlers" was marked
to urge the authorities to make all the men
take the oath OF allegiance to King Edward
AS il is one Of the cardinal principles of this
religious sect that they shall take no oaths of
any description, doubtless the instigators of
this enforcement of one Of the Dominion's
laws regarding alien settlers hoped that they
would move and leave their lands open for
purchase at a low price. The government
knew the Doukhobors probably would refuse
to take any oath, partly on account of their
belief and partly because they would fear that
II might lead them at some time to be forced
into military service. Therefore. the authori
ties forbore TO press the matter of the oath OF
allegiance. but contented themselves with in
timatng 10 the Doukhobor leaders that his
majesty King Edward VII. would take it as a
personal favor if the brethren" would come
around when they found it convenient and
promise to be good subjects. This plan is
working fairly we'll. Something like 500 of the
abc-bodied men in the various communities
have taken the oath voluntarily during the last
IS months. This has been due almost entirely
to the influence of their leader Father
Nerigin
Peter Verigin has been the greatest power
among the Doukhobors for nearly % years.

To the Touch of LoUe

I'VE have two Mary Wallaces here" said
the morguc keeper. Funny thing, too. Both
brought in to-day. You'll have to bring some
body with you who can see-somebody who
knew your wife--before she can be identified"
The sensitive features of the man contract
ed with sudden pain, and his dull, rowing eyes
sought the direction of the morgue keepers
voice. His stick tapped before him on the flag
stone as he moved a step nearer.
THAT isn't necessary" he said. It'd
know Mary among million! She has the
softest hair"
He extended hand; the slim, dextrous
fingers moved gently. caressingly. The morgue
keeper understood. He hesitated moment,
and then grasped the blind mans sleeve.
Come" he said.
They walked through the Office into the
rear apartment. The air chill and the
blind man shivered. The keeper released his
arm and there was sound like drawer be-
ing pulled out Here" he sad rather
gruffly.
He caught the visitors hand again and
guided it to an uncovered face. The blind man
started at the contact, so cold was it. Then
his fingers wandered swiftly over the marble
like countenance, and finally rested for just
an instant on the dead woman's hair.

The drawer was closed and another pulled
out. The visitor CROPPED his way forward
The instant his fingers touched the sharp-set
features of the dead woman his own face was
transfigured. MARY! Mary! | have found
you, DEAR he whispered. How thin your
poor face has grown. How cold you are"

of the corpse, lowering there carcssingly. But

~ The most startling feature of a por-
'tion of this mad pilgrimage, however,
was that a small portion of these
'Doukhobor Zealots, not content with
throwing off their outer clothing, de-
,nuded themselves entirely ito show
> nature to humanity, and how man
should return into his fatherland and
give back the ripened fruit and its
seeds, they said. In passing through
many of the Doukhobor villages this
naked band were driven out by their
co-religionists and beaten with twigs
until the blood ran. At night in the
rain and snow and wind they clustered
into one heap and lay on the ground,
one OH another. for warmth. Strange
ly enough it is said that none of them
was seriously frozen. This strange
march continued until % of the un-
clad ones reached Yorkton, where they
were met by the mounted police and
were arrested. Three months impris-
onment was their lot. After they
: were released all but ten of these %
nude marchers abandoned their curl
GUS beliefs and went back to work.
J. These ten attempted another out
!, break, destroyed some OF the breth-
ren's crops and burned some of their
machinery, but finally were subdued
and imprisoned once more. The next
year there was another attempt at
pilgrimage, but by that time Father"
Verigin was in control and it amount
ed to nothing.
About the time that Verigin came
into the full powers of leadership a
movement was set afoot to persuade
the government to take back the
largest part of the original grant to
the DOukhobors. Those behind the
agitation claimed that the community
had more land than it ever would be
able to use, and that part of the
holdings ought to be made available
