For an answer he took me into a
room, and, pointing to the bed
blufly said: "Thero That is the
bed. That is where Father Gapon
slept
Another time | intend to tell you
the true story of Father Gapon.
Russian priest and missionary
worker, who organized the Russian
labor unions and led d peaceful
army Of them to slaughter in Pctro-
grad "Bloody Sunday" January %,
1905, at the Narva Gate.
Sufficient for the present is the
tale of Wannagat. He told me how
Father Gapon, protected. by the
bodies Of innocents whom he had led
to death, was spirited away by Let
tish revolut;onists and conveyed to
the Prussian frontier. They brought
him across Prussia to Tilsit and to
Wannagat's for refuge. Here he
lay hidden for one day and a half,
while somebody, presumably the
Lettish rcvolutionists, paid Wanna
cat moderately for his board and
lodging. While he was at Wanna
gat's his beard and long hair were
cut off, and in disguise he finally
got away to Switzerland in safety.
Perhaps you remember that Fa-
thcr Gapon was afterward killed in
St. Petersburg, year or so later,
by order of the Revolutionary Com
mittec, for having disclosed their
secrets to the Russian police. But
that had nothing to do with Wanna
gat, who cemented his friendship
with the Lettish revolutonists, So
cialists and -proprictors. who are
the Bolshcviki OF the present day,
by The hiding OF Father Gapon.
They made him their agent to get
arms and ammunition for them to
continue their struggle against the
Russian autocracy, and placed great
trust in him.
1t was characteristic Of Wanna
gat's stories that all were founded
on fact, having thus a germ of truth
around which to weave tissue of
fiction such as to suit his purposes.
His rcpertory Of deeds was rich in
anecdotes, of which he was the hero,
most of them too good to be true.

this, especially as his second
thoughts were plainly regretful and
fearful of his having been indis
crcet--so much SO that l was on my
guard against some mctiitateG
treachery On his part. AS future
events proved, I did not misiudge
him.
The following Sunday he invited
me to go with him to a political
meeting Of Prussian Lithuanians at
the village Of Dawellen, on the Rus
sian border. I had to accept his in

We took third class tickets at tha

northern town in Prussia.
I had more than one reason for
suspicion that Wannagat r7edtatcd
something unfriendly, in spite Of his
cordiality. I knew perfectly well by
long experience in Germany that he
should have registered me with tho
authorities at once upon my taking
a room with him. 1t was the law
and the practice to register every
stranger, whether he went to a ho-
tel, a pension or to a private house.
l asked Wannagat to register me
in the regular way, but he had not
done so. His failure to do so, if in
qulries were made about me. would
tend to implicate me in having some
purpose in making my presence
there secret.
