A group Of disciples had formed
around him, consisting Of the

There were many peasants and

Der of criminals who were de-
voted to him. He was obeyed like
fathef, his advice was always
sought and he merely had to
start speaking to cause all noise
around him to cease.
Prince Refuses
Prisoners were particularly i'm
pressed by the report Of his con-
versation with Vaskov, the omnip-
otent camp commander. Upon
his arrival the Prince was sum-
moned to Vaskov's office and
conversation took place, which
was faithfully reported to the
prisoners, though the Prince had
not said q word about it upon
his return. Vaskov greeted the
Prince and offered him q posi-
ton as sanitary helper at the
camp hospital, on condition that
the latter abstain from political
discussions.
I'VE do not need any monar.
chiStS," said Vaskov. you should
be sent to do manual labor, but,
taking your age into considera.
ton, shall not do this. viii you
give me your word of honor that
you will not carry on discussions
which are not suitable for penal
camps?"
Oukhtomsky refused. No, he
could give no promise which
would limit his freedom OF
thought.
"if this is the case you will be
banished to one of the most re-
mote work posts, where nobody
can listen to you" said Vaskov.
81 would like to warn you that
we shoot people for agitating
against the existing regime. Bear
this in mind. You have been
prisoner for over nine years, soon
your term is up. Do you really
think we shall let you 60 If you
continue your seditious propa'
ganda against us?"
We Shall Hang You
'"I know very well. citizen Vas
kov," replied Oukhtomsky, that

your Communist song will be
ended. Then we shall change
places, though we shall probably
treat you differently"
you mean you will shoot us?"
asked Vaskov, smiling.
"Oh, no, we shall hang you. /"
calmly answered the prince.
"Take prisoner Ouktomsky out
Of here!" cried the infuriated
commander, but the princes cour-
age made such. an impression on
him that he was given q job at
the hospital Just the same.
The story made a sensation
among the prisoners. Men came

thing they had to offer, to show
him Difference and devotion. He
Immediately divided all the gifts
among the needy Of the barracks
and sat on his high shelf unper-
turbed, continuing to work on his
notes Of the World War.
The sailor was stunned. "If
Russia had had more men like
Oukhtomsky, he said, I'VE would
not have had the revolution"
The sailor was quite distressed
by the fun poked at him by the
prisoners.
"our high respects to the so
cialist," was the greeting he In
variably received. How is the
Constituent Assembly? How about
the Ukranian Rada2 oh, you, de-
luded revolutionary, now you are
reaping what you have sown."
He took all the abuse stoically,
but WINGED under the accusation.
My last two days at Ust-Sysolsk
were made pleasant by the treat OF
again seeing Prince OukhtomSky,
who was sent back to the work
post. His fate had also been
greatly affected by the change OF
administration. He was relieved
of his duties in the sanitary de-
partment and was now being sent
to one Of the most remote posts
of the camps. He took the blow
stoically, as usual. He had ex-
perienced such depths Of misery
during the last 10 days that
nothing affected him any longer.
To Die In Prison
He had three months left to the
end of his term. Anyone else in
his place would have waited i'm
patiently for the moment Of re.
lease and made plans for the
future. Not so Outkhtomsky. He
was convinced that he would not
be set free in three months, nor
in three years.
'They viii never let me co." he
replied to my query, never. I
know it and do not dream Of
freedom. do not know when I
am destined to die. but I am GER
tain that I shall die in prison"
He spoke with a smile, occa-
sionally biting the end Of his
long gray moustache. He still
lived in the same reconditioned
stables and slept on his old shelf
near the ceiling, where he was ex-
posed to wind and rain penetrat-
ing through a large crevice in the
wall. / had my last glimpse Of
him as he was leaving for his
destination. He sat in the car
riage wrapped in his old reindeer
coat and wearing his military cap
with the red ribbon. He waved
to me as he disappeared through
the gates Of the camp. Alasl The
world had but few such men as
OukhtomSky.

After Pete walked into the
home Of Mrs. George Marble, 218
Adams st. N. E., it wasn't long
before he captured the affections
Of the entire family, despite the
fact that another pet had been
there for a long time.
That's the kind of a dog Pete
Is. You won't find better Ger
man police in all the city. He is
only about ! year old, and has a
most affectionate nature. Tan in
color, shiny coat, ears which
stand up, and perfectly house
trained, Pete should make a very
desirable pet, indeed. He likes
children, too, and the only reason
he is being given away is because
Pete and the other pet are in
clined to be bit unfriendly.
Mrs. Marble will interview pros
pective owners, so If you are in
terested, please get in touch with
her at her home. Please notify
the Pet Editor Of The Times if

Note Hints Suicide
In support of this theory the
detective turned over a note
which he said had been written
by HiseS shortly before the scuffle
in wh;a1 Miss Lyttle was shot.
The note read:
''Mr. Coroner: + hereby make
my wife my sole heir. I'm fed
up. why not? The rest is
none Of your business"
There was another note to his
wife bequeathing her all his
earthly possessions.
But an unfathomable fate de-
creed otherwise, and instead Of q

the death of the man who wrote
the notes, it probed the death Of

her residence with the Hiseys.
