A Russian 5 Effort
to Lose Himself
BY EUNIcE BLAKE

Peter Trolenco was a member of one
Of those circles that sprang up in Rus.
STA some forty years ago when nihil-
ism was first heard of. They took their
name from their underlying principle
that nothing in government which ex.
listed should continue The Latin word
for nothing is nihil.
There was grent secrecy in those cir
cles. the members of one circle being
completely ignorant of those In anoth-
err. Peter understood that different
circles worked in harmony through
their chiefs. but beyond this he had no
Information whatever. And yet St
Petersburg tnow Petrogradl, where he
lived. was full of nlhilists.
Peter was young, and there was
something captivating in all this mys-
terry. But one night there came to him
terrible awakening. Lots were
drawn to decide which one of the cir
Gle should assassinate the chief Of po- |
lice. and Peter drew the fatal paper |
on which had been sketched a dagger

meetings, the DISCUSSES, the many In

deed which Peter was required to com
init and from which there was no es.
cape. He might flee to the ends of the
earth. but would never know when
some one, possibly his best friend.
would strike him.
TO add to his horror he loved a
young girl. to whom he was expecting
10 be married. Nina Dimitrieff was at q
the time preparing her rousseau. Pc {
ter feared that his misfortune, which. I
In any event. would break their be-
trothal. would kill her. b
He spent long while In making I'D b
MS mind what to do and finally decid- +
ed upon fight. He would leave Rus b
sla disguised and go to land where G
be would be lost to the world. But p
what action should he take In refer 81
ence to his berothed? After weigh *
ng the matter, dreading the shock he
would cause her by telling her what VI
lad! happened, he decided to disappear 81
rom her as mysteriously as from 9th al
RS. He would confide only in his se
mother
A few days after he had drawn the
asger he began a journey to the bor-
er. Disguised as beggar, he Travelled p
night and begged by day In the &C
WINS through which he passed. What th
oney he took with him. added to what of
received from charity, enabled him -
reach Genoa and take passage for -

For IRE years the fugitive kept p
angmg his residence, avoiding the DE
rge cities so far as possible, think va
to lose himself more effectively In Al
country. But whenever he came mi
ar Russian he moved on. He dared raj
t write to his mother for fear his IN
'ters would be intercepted, but be- AZ
re leaving Russia he had laid a plan on
communicating with her at long In an
