sIt was midsummer-the White

Volkoff Cemetery, a mile out beyond
the town, climbed through the pal
ings and looked for a tomb that
would shelter me. found myself in
the wild and overgrown section of
the graveyard appointed for the Old
Believers. The crosses were huge
and quaint. They had thick wooden
rings where the cross arms joined
and big hoods over the top. Dark
and worm eaten, they were carved
with weird figures, most of them
having skull and crossbones at the
foot of the cross, and they stuck up
at all angles out of the neglected
grass and weeds. The tomb / chose

6HORTLY after the arrival Of
Sir Paul Dukes in Petrograd
- the Bolsheviki proclaimed a
general mobilization. Living as a
Russian, with forged documents pur-
porting him to be an official of the
Extraordinary Commission, Dukes
realized that unless he obtained some
actual employment that would serve
rs valid reason for exemption
from military service he would be
taken into the army, the freedom of
his movements would be cut off and
he would lose all chance of being
able to study closely the various
phases of life under the Bolsheviki.
Moreover, an incident occurred
which indicated that the Bolshevist
authorities had discovered his pres
cnce in Petrograd and that it was
necessary for him to perform a COM
plete transformation of his person,
disguise and occupation.

fThe porter bowed low and
promised to do as bid. After
that ] never again returned to that
house."
Having thus successfully thrown
the agents of the Extraordinary
Commission off their scent, Dukes
walked out into the street, but re-
called to his CONSERVATION that he
had allowed his papers purporting
him to be an agent of the commits
sion to become overdue. At this
time there We're wholesale raids
under way in Petrograd. In four
days nearly half the houses in
Petrograd had been searched and
there was constant danger of being
stopped in the street by an agent
Of the Extraordinary Commission
and asked for ones papers. Agents
of the commission were obliged to
renew their papers at certain in
tervals. Dukes papers being over
due, he would certainly have been
compelled to make an explanation
of the fact to the first agent who
chose to stop him and thus lay him
self open to serious consequences.

my usual quarters" said Dukes.
"This was SO not only because Of the
danger to my own safety, but also
because Of the danger involved to the
other occupants of any of my do,ni-
Giles. The regulation was that the
/ tenants Of any house were held re-
sponsible for the proper character
and vocation of all the occupants,
and if had been arrested for lack of
proper papers | would have brought
misfortune upon innocent people,
especially if the arrest should lead
to the discovery of my real identity.
Ny fellow tenants would have been
made to pay dearly for harboring a
counter reyolutionist,' nay, the al
legged head Of all the 'counter-revo-
lutionary' conspiracies in Russia.
"There was only one place l could
go. It was the flat of a friend who
had told me on previous occasion
that if ever ! were in danger he could
hide me successfully. He lived in
the Ligovka, long, wide street of
notorious riot, running from the
Neysky Prospekt to the Obvodny
Canal. Knowing he came home late,

learned afterward that he also was
in hiding.

HIGHWAY REPAIRS DEPEND ON BONDS Board of Revenue Will Offer Them for SaIe--Need
 Buyers

Repairs on tho east and west and the north highways will be made provided bonds for the work can be disposed of at par, according to reso- lutlons adopted by the board of re- venue yesterday.
 This work will be on First avenue from East Lake to wylam and from Third avenue and Twenty sixth street to the city limits at North Birming- ham and will cost approximately s4o,- 900.
 Members of the board suggested that persons intsrestered in the com pletion of the paving following the example of the members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce who disposed of $10,000 worth of county road inn provement bonds at par in order that street, south, might be done. If cttf- zens interested in this work would arrange to either buy the bonds or sell them to others, the county could immediately begin on this work. It is stated.
 In a communication from Claude J. Rogers, county highway engineer, received yesterday he recommended that the work of paving the high ways under consideration be done with convict labor. He pointed out that by doing this, the board could save approximately $2o,000 on the sctotal estimate of S62,450.

ALLEGED RUNNERS
 SHOT BY DEPUTIES
Two Men Wounded During Auto Chase on Pumphouse
 Road-Another Arrested

Marion Wilkinson, 2331 Fifth ave- 2330 Fourth avenue, north, were shot and seriously wounded yesterday morning by Deputies r. c. Cole, Vir- gil and Woody Sandefer, when it Is alleged they were attempting to bring a consignment of liquor into Birmingham. Although the condition of the men is said to be serious, they were reported to be resting as well as could be expected last night by hospital officials
 Roy Roach who was discharged from the police force several weeks ago, was said to be in the automo- bile at the time of the raid. He was placed under bond.
 After chasing the men seven miles the officers captured them on the road to Woodall. just about sunrise yesterday morning.
 According to the statements of the officers they received tip that Wilkinson was going to bring in a load of liquor some time Monday night. Deputies Cole and the Snnde- fur brothers got into one of the county cars and drove out the Pump house road, about 12 miles from Bir- mingham. Just around a curve and a short distance from the direction they expected the alleged whisky car to come from, they placed their aI- tomobile across the road and waited.
 After a short time they heard q car approaching, and Virgil Sande : fur ran down the road short dis tance towards the automobile and attempted to stop the men, telling them he was an officer. Mir. Sande- fur stated that instead of stopping Wilkinson, who was driving. turned the car towards him as If he was going to run over him. He jumped on the running board and the driver turned the automobile into the woods and drove so close to tree that it knocked him off. As he fell he said he fired two shots, one at the back tire and the other at the gas oline tank, in an effort to stop the car, as he had seen several cans in II.
 When the men failed to stop the men got into their machine and a chase started. Although a tire had been punctured the alleged liquor ear was kept going for seven miles, when the gasoline gave out The officers fired several shots at the automobile, they stated, and the bark along the road in an effort to stop the fleeing car, but with no inten- tion of hitting the men. they stated.
 F.. M. Wilkinson Jr.. a brother of Marion Wilkinson stated last night that he had discussed the shooting with his brother who told him that the men were not transporting liq- uor when shot yesterday morning and he also denied that the officers had punctured tire of the machine or the gasoline tank declaring that he was forced to stop when one of the tires on his machine blew out.
