OFC0UNTL LEO ] 'T 0. |.
Creates Il Painful Imprcssion-t'ailinE
Mentality Accepted as lisplana-
ton or Ills Conduct.

Tula. Russia, Nov, 1a.-The nysteri-
GUS disappearance of Count Leo Toll
stoi, the Russian novelist and social
rcforfner has made u painful impress
sion. That he should decide to spend
the evening of his days In solitude sur.
prises no one acquainted with his
career, but that he should deliberately
desert the wife who had borne him
nine children Is difficult of belief even
in tho light of his well known ecccn-
tricttes OF character. sis
The suggestion of a failing mentality
is accepted by. many in explanation of
the counts sudden leave taking. which
may have Il tragic sequel as the count
css Is Frustrated. 1t has been reported
that she has attempted her life.
The family was without IL clew today.
In II letter left for. his wife the count
said:
II cannot continue longer to live
surrounded by luxury. like many other
old men i retire from the world to
complete my life In solitude. ask
that you do not seek my place of So
journ and that you do not come to It
IT. it Is discovered / beg forgiveness
for the grief thatsI may cause YOU"
The novelist's reference to luxurious
surroundings is significant of his state
of mind, as he has long lived tho life
of a peasant. While his family occu-
pied a substantial mansion on the
Yasneaya Poliana estate. Tolstoi abode
in PEASANTS hut partakins only of
the simple peasant food and wearing
the PEASANTS costume. a rough coat
and trousers, cowhide boots and IL fur
cap. He has not always continued this
humble mode of life, but 1t has been
his choice.
The first news of Tolstoi's disap-
pearance came from Prince Dmitry
Gobleonsky. Tho count left his home
several days ago, accompanied by DR..
Makovetsky. his physician. That the
doctor should be Il party to the affair
( Is another ineXpllcable feature. Make
ovsky became tho companion OF the
count In succession to the lator's priv.
ate secretary. NJ. CUFF, whom the gov.
eminent exiled to Siberia. alleging that
he had Influenced Tolstoi's anti-gov-
ernmental writings.
Tolstoi has been in ill-health for
some time. He suffered fainting spells
and on Oct. is was unconscious for.
hours. Later It was reported that he
had improved somewhat. In his writ
ings Tolstoi has condemned suicide as
Immoral and irrational and as indicat-
ing perverted view OF the Significance
of life.
1t is believed Tolstoi proceeded to
an old monastery In tho government
of kaluga, which adjoins the govern
ment of Tula on the west.
Prince Dmitry Oblensky's telegram
of yesterday stated that Tolstoi left his
home OH Oct. 10. This is obviously
home on Oct. Is.
