Mrs. de Malinowsh was almost
wreck. physically as well as nervous
ly. Her own passport was good over
a limited territory only, but Mr..
Wyckoff, by the cunning use OF soft
words and persuasive roubles, got
her and the baby safely to Warsaw.
The next night the little party was
on its way to Kalisz, on the Austrian
border.
At every station gendarmes went
through the train, plainly in search OF
Mrs. de Malinowski, but Mr.. Wyck-
of had run short neither of fiattery
nor money, and each new danger was
passed until Kalisz was reached.
There a delay of three hours came
and a company of soldiers. This time
there was no disguise of the fact that
Mrs. de Malinowsh was being sought,
but even in this crisis the Ithacan did
and said things so suavely that the
soldiers peeped into the compart-
! ment where the mother and the baby
seemed to be asleep, turned to Mr..
Wyckoff with salute and allowed the
train to cross the border ten minutes
later. The troubles Of the Americans
were over.
Brides Story Of Persecution.
my sorrow began Immediately aft
er the baby was born" Mrs. de Malin-
owski told reporter for The World
the other day. my mother-in-law and
my sisters-in-law turned openly
against me, and before Leonard was
a month old he had been taken from
me. and even Caesar had taken apart
ments IN another wing of the manor
and refused to see me.
The most absurd reasons we're CIV
en- for all this. Nine. de Malinowski
accused me once of taking some linen
while she was. away, as though |
could make any use for 1t. supposing
I'had wanted 1t, in house where we
all lived together. There was nothing
too trivial to be used against me. and
finally, after all my jewelry and most
of my clothing had been taken away
from me, I was taken by servants to
Gitimir and ordered never to return.
II took refuge with a priest I had
got to know, and began 10 plan to get
Leonard. l really didn't care for any
thing else, but did want my baby.
The first time tried to get him lay
hidden behind a clump of bushes for
two hours and half waiting for a
nurse who had promised to bring him
to me- She got so near to me could
see her eyes, when some other serv-
ants caught up with her and took her
back to the house.
THAT night orders, were given to
shoot any one found on the place
without permission, but the following
midnight I tried again, another serv-
ant having promised to bring Leon
ard to me at a specified point on the
banks of the Volynia.
The Volynia is very wide and swift
there, but it has shallow places where
reeds and grasses grow to the sur
face. Although the priest tried to dis.
suade me, hired two men to row me
across the river. Half way across the
boat began to leak. grew frightened
and the boat capsized. Fortunately 1t
was one Of the shadows, and although
| went into water up to my shoulders
the priest, who had been following in
another boat, dragged me quickly in
beside him and took me back to his
house.
Disguised az Servant.
Even then l had not failed to see
that lights were moving through the
Manor house, and made up my mind
that they were getting ready to
take the baby away, as had heard
they meant to. was SO sure that |
went to the station at Kodyna, where
Nine. De Malinowsh would have to
take the train wherever she was
bound. The station master hid me in
the upper part OF the building, and
from balcony soon saw Nine. De
Malinowsh arrive with i've servants
and the baby.
Il was dressed as a peasant, and
when my mother-in-law got into her
compartment l was put into one adj
Joining. She had the train searched
