DON GAS
MASKS, SAVE
TWO BOYS
Youngsters Live Happily
Amid Poisonous Fumes
of Sewer Outlet.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j.. Jan. ..
Police are standing guard over the out
let of the storm sewer in the bank
of the Raritan river at Highland
Park, N. j., where two boys risked
their lies for week, after running
away from their home. They lived on
apples and pears and showed no ill
effects from the sewer gases when po-
lice, protected by gas masks, rescued
them.
The boy adventures are Charles
Kukoor, Is, and his brother, Eugene,
IL, of 105 Albany street, New Bruins
wick. They left home, they said to
board a freight for Pennsylvania, and
used the sewer for sleeping quarters.
Discovery of the rendezvous fol-
lowed complaints by farmers along
the river front, who said their fruit
orchards had been raided. Police
were baffled by the quick getaway of
the marauders, and finally espicd two
lads crawling into the sewer pipe on
the river bank.
Gases from the pipe prevented the
rolice following the trail, until Po
iiceman Sorenson procured gas masks
and hip boots. He entered the pipe,
wading in mud and slime for three
hundred yards. Then he came upon the
two little fugiives. =,
They were rescued through the
nearest manhole and taken to the. po-
| lice station, where they confessed hav-
| ing spent a week in the pipe, living
only on fruit from nearby orchards.
Physicians who examined them said
they had suffered no i'll effects from
the poisonous gases of the sewer.

bTROKE SEALS
I KEY To GEM
HOARD
Wealth Hidden in Palace
Is Lost as Servant
Is Overcome.

LENINGRAD, Jan. 2.-Conscience
Embodied in stroke Of paralysis has
lust scaled tie lips OF the single per-
on in all Russia, an old man who
snows the secrets of the Shuvaloff
PALACE here, one Of the richest stores
Z concealed treasure in Leningrad.
With his death, which is rapidly ap-
proaching, the wealth of the Shuva-
offs may be lost forever, or at least
until the immense mansion is taken
apart, brick by brick, and its hidden
'ecess revealed.
Pyotr Petrovsky, now Is, was the
most trusted servant of the retinue
maintained by the old Countess Shuv-
iloff before the revolution. He was
Ehe only one to remain when, at the
first threat of impending trouble, the
countess and all her retainers fled
Bhe to Paris, and they to the nearest
refuge.
LEAVES TREASURE.
She took with her only small hand
bag. Behind, in her palace, she left
the treasures of ten generations OF
Shuvaloff's, great land owners, and
possessed of a yearly income putting
them in the first rank of wealthy Rus
sian mobiles. The family was famousc
for its collections of gems, silver and
golden objects, delicate china and old
paintings.
i Like every noble family Of old Rus
STA, the Shuvaloffs had built their pal
ace with an eye to stormy days. Ap-
lparently every Russian nobleman be-
llieved that "the deluge" might descend
upon him at any moment. Between
the wells in the brick work, down in
the cellar, in every palace, were ar
ranged hiding places.
When the countess slipped over the
Finnish border she felt confident that
her property was safe, for she and her
old servant Petrovsky had stored ii
all, and Petrovsky had promised to
remain.
MONEY is LOST.
The first blast Of the revolution blew
occupied Immediately by government
agents. Custodians appointed to care
for the newly confiscated goods Of the
nobility searched the palace, and were
disappointed ut finding nothing but the
Customary furnishings of Russian
princes home. Not a jewel, nor a
piece of gold or silver, none of the
paintings by old masters, nor even any
Of the exquisite Chinese porcelain for
which the family was especially noted,
were discovered.
They questioned Pyotr, but he denied
all knowledge Of the valuables. During
the first years Of the Bolshevik regime,
when civil war and intervention abb
sorbed the governments attention,
Pyotr and his secret were half-forgot-
ten. But In recent months of dis.
covery of jewels valued at $4,000, 900
in the Moscow palace Of Prince Yous.
suppoff directed notice in a spectacu.
lar way to the stores of wealth still
lying untouched in the walls Of once
noble residences.
