phere of mystery and romance. But
there was no romance about 1t for his
wife, Martha, whose name appeared
in the directory as Martha, widow of
Paul."
If Thiel expected that all would be
forgiven and that his journey would
end in lovers meeting he was disap-
pointed. His reception by his wife was
cool. The children, however, were more
lenient and it is through their hearts
that Thiel is seeking to win back the
lost love Of his wife. The wanderer,
pending his Punishment, is the guest of
his married daughter, Mrs. Robert
Firestone.
Thiel returned to Chicago to see his
oldest son, George, before the boy was
called to the colors. George, who was
a little curly headed fellow when his
father left, is now eighteen and is anx-
|. ioHs to get into the service.
"We are for dad" said George. Hes
going to stay, and we like him."
But with the mother it was different.

During his roaming through the
West and in Mexico, Thiel never wrote
to his family. When he finally ap-
peared after his years of absence, the
wanderer decided to remain in Chi
cago.

the allies. The place is, indeed, prac-
tically dependent for food and other
necessaries upon supplies furnished
by the allies by sea; and this vital
fact doubtless influences the govern
ing body.
Life in this outpost is curiously ar
tificial. There are no shops or ho-
tells; the councils distribute food and
assign lodgings to new arrivals. The
cost of living is low, but houseroom
is scarcely obtainable. Wages are
enormously high-1,0OO rubles month
for locomotive drivers, 900 for ordi-
nary workmen, 375 for dock laborers,
and so on. Even allowing for the de-
probation of the paper ruble, the rates
are very high.
Rough Country Without Roads.
Alexandrovsk, the naval station on
Ekaterina karbor, was during the war
a depot of British submarines and
other mosquito craft. When Russia
fell to pieces at the revolution, and
Finland became German vassal state,
it was to be expected that an attempt
would be made to seize the Thurman
coast. Hopes were held out to Fin
land of acquiring an ice-free exit to
the Arctic ocean.
The difficulties in the way of an eX-
petition to the Thurman region are
great. The country is practically I'M
inhabited, so that military force
must take its own supplies. There
are no roads, and the country to be
traversed is largely mountainous, m
terspersed with tracts of forest and
marsh, presenting many obstacles to
military operations, apart from the
arctic climate. On the coast, it may
be mentioned, the climate is decidedly
milder than in the interior.
Kola, the port near Murmansk, where
Americans, British and French marines
landed in order to protect munitions
and provisions originally intended for
| the Russian government, Is situated
at the junction of the Kola and Tulo-
ma rivers. Before the war it had
only about 600 inhabitants, according
to war geography bulletin Of the Ma
tional Geographic society.
In peace times the chief occupation
of the people of Kola is fishing, which
is profitably followed by the natives
from May to August. Kola is well
within the arctic circle, being in lat
itude 6S minutes SO seconds. 1t is
335 miles westward of Archangel, the
| great White sea port Of Russia.
The Peninsula of Kola constitutes
the major part Of what is known as
Russian Lapland. 1t is bounded on
the north by the Arctic ocean and on
the south by the White sea. Its area
equals that of the state of New York
and is largely plateau having an av-
erage elevation Of 1000 feet.
