knocked me down. My cries were
heard by the laborers of my party and
several prisoners. Soon we were sur
rounded by a crowd. and a quarrel
ensued between those who defended
me and the friends of the trusty. An
ssassistant warden and some guards
put an end to it. drawing up a pro-
tocol of my complaint to hive the
trusty tried in court for assault
As the day Of the trial drew near
Yasha was urged by his fellow pris-
oners to influence me to withdraw my
charge. He told me that the law of
prison communal life demanded that
l comply with the request to drop my
, complaint. / knew that my refusal
might mean Yasha's death, and when
I was called in court to testify against
, the trusty. 7 declared that there had
been no assault and that had no
complaints to mako. The case was dis
missed. and my act enhanced Yasha' s
reputation among the inmates OF both
prisons.
The winter passed. Toward Easter

May had come. The Lena had
opened and become navigable. The
heavy iron doors of the prison were
unlocked and hundreds OF inmates, in
Guiding Yasha and me, were mustered
out in the yard to prepare for exile
Every winter the huge prison at
Alexandrovsk would gather into its
walls thousands of wrecked human
beings, murderers. forgers, thieves,
students, officers, peasants and pro-
fessional persons, who had trans
gressed against the tyrannical re-
gime,. Every spring the gloomy jail
would open its doors and pour out a
stream of half-benumbed men and
women into the wild Siberian taiga
and the uninhabited regions border
ing on the Arctic.
All spring and summer this river OF
eXasperated humanity would flow
through Alexandrovsk into the snow
pound north. where they languished
in unendurable climatic conditions and
succumbed in large numbers in the
land of the six months night. Tens
OF thousands of, them lie scattered
from the Ural Mountains to Alaska in
unmarked graves.
So finally we were to breathe some
fresh air. There was hustle and hustle
before our party was formed. There
were about a thousand persons in it..
including twenty women. Our guard
consisted of 500 soldiers. We were
to go on foot to Katchugo, near the
source of the Lena. a distance OF
about 200 versts. Our baggage was
loaded on wagons
We made thirty-five versts in the
first day, according to schedule, stop
ping for the night at an exile-station
on the edge of a village. The ST.
berian roads are criss-crossed by such
stations-large wooden buildings of
barn-like construction, with iron doors
and grated windows. Empty inside
but for double tiers of bunks, they
are surrounded by high fences, with
a sentry-box at every corner. They
offer no opportunity for escape.
We supped on food we had brought
from the prison, and turned in for
the night. Our party was divided into
groups of ten. each group choosing a

The former Empress hostess young
Countess Bentinck. a girl Of perhaps
twenty-one or two, was at the gate

playing with her dog. Children of the
villagers were passing to and fro
with their skates under their arms.
On the icy moat directly in front of
the ex-Empress' apartments the eX-

itself in natural simplicity. Several
young women of the eX- Empress
