A RUSSIAN PRISONER.
sxperieneo of Man Who Was chain-
ed to a Wheelbarrow.

In writing of the Schluesselburg
prison III McClure's Magazine David
Soskice tells Of prisoner who was
chained to Il wheelbarrow:
"Schedrin had been condemned to
hard labor in the convict mines of ST.
IBERIA and for an attempt to escape
from there had been sentenced to be
chained to heavy wheelbarrow.
When the order came for his transfer
from Siberia to st. Petersburg no con-
veyance could be found large enough
to contain him. the wheelbarrow and
the convoy of gendarmes. Yet. as the
wheelbarrow had become a part of
the prisoner. the gendarmes were
afraid to leave 1t behind. 1t was there
fore decided to place Schedrin with his
convoy in one cart and the wheelbar-
row behind in another. For several
months. day and night, Schedrin and
the gendarincs galloped through 81
IBERIA upon troika "a three horsed
cart or sledgej. while another sped be-
hind them upon which the wheelbar-
row reposed, causing the deepest
amazement among the peasants in the
villages through which they passed.
Upon the arrival of the prisoner in IS.
Peter and Paul he was once again
chained TO the barrow. and only after
he had beer six weeks in the Schlues-
selburg was he finally detached from
it and given freedom of movement
within the narrow confines of his cell.
"'When they unclaimed me- said
Schedrin subsequently, 1 could not get
enough movement | wanted to run
and run, and it seemed to me that
could never stop. How strange it is
that men who can enjoy perfect free
dom of movement never realize the
wonderful happiness that is theirs u
