GRAND DUKE WORKS AS CLERK
London Michae" and Countess En-
dure Reverses OVERWHELMINGLY
in London.

LOndon.-One of the Russian grand
dukes, known as the London Michael"
to distinguish him from the other
Grand Duke Michael, has fallen from
great wealth to comparative perjury as
result Of the Russian revolution.
Before the war he lived in one of
the finest residential estates in the
neighborhood Of London. When his
income from Russia was cut off lie
subleased this property and is now
clerk at $1,000 year in an office near
Westminster abbey. His wife, the
Countess Torby, conducts their small
home with zest and without grumbling.
Probably no family in Great Brit
ain has endured greater reverses than
this one, or borne it's misfortune more
cheerfully," comments the Evening
News.
