to Simanko, Professor Yanushev-

it is to get up again from a lying

Men were stumbling in their
march and walked slowly, breath
ing hard. 1t was getting much
colder and had grown quite dark.
The convoy soldiers now carried
little lanterns, which accentuated
the darkness. We moved on at a
pitiful pace; there were more
stops than marches. l felt a

Another prolonged "Sto-o-op"

Everybody was down in the snow

minutes passed, the rest con-
tinued. Some inarticulate shouts
came from behind. At first no
body paid attention to them, but
then they became louder and we
heard curses and imprecationS
such as "get up. you pig" and the
like, accompanied by dull thuds

However, we were not consulted.
The head of the column started
and behind crept the long line of
the rest of us. The trail wound
in zigzags more or less parallel to
the river-bed and the country was
far from answering to the opti-
mistic description of "flat and
open." When we climbed a hill
I was painting and felt my knees
trembling-the result of my long
stay in prison. I felt that had
lost weight and grown thinner in
a day.

were even more frequent. After
every half-kilometer we would
hear the welcome "sto-o-op," re-

from the rear. At the sound of
it men now simply fell down on

Behind the column marched the
medical attendant Orlov, the con-
voy-chief and his five soldiers who
guarded the sleigh containing a
ten-day supply of food for the
column. My omniscient caddy in
formed me that it contained
sugar, tea, frozen meat, salt fish
and buckwheat.
Bread and potatoes we were ex-

They carried heavy clubs in ad-

the railroad track. It was in the

Weather Better

We made good headway and
reached the last camp on the rail-
road track at two in the after
noon. We still had thirty kilo-
meters ahead of us. The weather
remained favorable, the sun was
shining, and we did not feel the
cold. The last post furnished us
guide who was supposed to lead
us along the forest trails for the
first ten kilometerS and give us
our general direction from that
point on.
We took advantage of the stop
at the last post to have a bite to
eat of whatever food we carried
with us, and, after a little rest,
we started again on our march.
We now had to walk along a trail
in single file and our line stretched
out in a long ribbon. It was much
more difficult to walk along the
snow-covered path and our pace
slackened perceptibly. Those at
the head of the line had a hard
task trampling down the loose
snow. It was not so bad walking
in the middle of the line, after
the snow had been packed by the
many pairs of feet ahead.
Nevertheless in places the snow
was still soft and ones feet sank
into it ankle-deep. The fat Korol-
kov, who walked ahead of me and
who had been keeping us in good
humor all the morning, was now
quiet, breathing hard and wiping
the perspiration from his brow.
He had a hard time of it carry
ing his weight of a hundred kilo-
grams. Besides, he wore large felt
boots and two warm hunting
jackets under a waterproof coat.
The column began stopping for
rest at more frequent intervals.
In the first part of our march we
had been stopping every five kilo-
meters, but now every kilometer
brought the sound of "sto-o-op,"
echoed back to us from the lead
ers. This signal halted our march.
Some of us Immediately sat down
in the snow and lit cigarettes,
only to feel our fatigue more
keenly when we started up again
in another two minutes. At four
o'clock we emerged from the for
est. 1t was getting dark.
Our guide passed us on his way
back to the last camp post. So
far we had made 30 kilometers
and had 20 still to go. We were
told that the trail led through
open country along a small river
and we could easily find our way.
This would have been true enough
if any one of us knew the terri
tory, but no one did.

the medical attendant lifted ST.

disappeared with him in the dark.
Two soldiers grabbed the profes-
sor under the arms and dragged
him away. In another 10 min
uteS we resumed our march.
After that events followed each
other as in a fog. Men walked
as If they were drunk, wabbling
and stumbling, falling down and
getting up again, helping each
other, all tired and hungry. From
the rear came uninterruptedly the
cries Of beaten men. All soldiers
except the leader had concen-
trated in the rear and helped
arouse the convicts with their
clubs and rifle QUITS after each
stop.
By the flickering light of the
lanterns we could observe the pun

flopped. I was so tired that my

"BeGt the CUrUe"

The convoy-chief was as tired
as we. With difficulty he made
his way over the PROSTATE bodies,
giving each soldier he passed the
same order:
"If anybody refuses to go,
beat the swine until he gets up"
A signal shot was heard in
front and We started up again.
Having heard the chiefs orders,
the mortally tired men mustered
their last strength and walked a
little faster. l figured that we
had made about 40 kilometers and
had 10 yet to go. Shall we make
it? Twas eating sugar, munching
bread and swallowing chunks OF
snow. 1t refreshed me, but not
for long. My mouth was dry,
breathing came hard, efforts to
breathe through the nose were
useless. My eyelids kept closing
and moved with the crowd in a
semi-Swoon, urged on by the sole
thought of when do we rest
again?"
"Sto-e-op," came the outcry at
last. I remained true to my sys-
tenn and did not sit down, for I
felt that would not get up again.
In a few minutes We were march
ing. The army flyer Simanko,
marching near me, suddenly fell
down. We came up to him and
tried to lift him, but did not sue
ceed. "Sto-o-op."
Simanko was unconscious and
lay face down in the snow. He
was done for. A soldier came up,
grabbed him under the arms and
lifted him to his feet. When he
let him go, poor Simanko col
lapsed again. The soldier got
angry.
"Get up, you lOut!" He kicked
him in the side and, suddenly
getting furious, gave him a
heavy blow on the back with
the butt Of his rifle.

player who had been brought to
Penug direct from Moscow and
had had no experience in camp

and Simanko.

that he is unconscious? Why
do you beat him? Get the chief

soldier, raising his rifle.

The commanding tone had a

It was nearly 10 o'clock, but
we were still standing there, wait
ing for we knew not what. That
day we were supposed to march
so kilometers, 20 of which were
on the railroad track and the
other 80 for forest trails in the di-
rection of the nearest village. The
weather was favorable: it was a
bright, sunny day without wind.
The chief of convoy was a lit
tie red-faced man who walked
around our column with a wor-
ried look on his face. He told
us that we would get nothing 10

at the end of our days march.
This was not very encouraging,
but, on the other hand, it was
pleasant to be out in the open
instead of being confined at the
transfer station. Orlov, a giant
cossack who was to act as medi-

his white smock. It was said
that during the civil war he killed

the side of the Reds. He was an
indefatigable counter-revolution-

victed to 10 years in the penal
camps. There were not over 80
educated men in our column.

DENTIST GETS
' 10 YEARS FOR
FRANKNESS
PRISONER OF THE oGPU
By GEORGE KITCHIN
CHAPTER Xxx

At midnight we arrived at
Penug. Numerous guards, armed
with rifles and lanterns, i'm
mediately conducted us to the
barracks which had formerly
served as a locomotive shed.
As we filed across the track we
resembled a fancy torch-pag-
cant. At the barracks we were
installed on three-tier sleeping
shelves. The manager of sup
plies, who was supposed to have
received instructions from Kot-
las to furnish us with warm
clothing, was nowhere to be
found. His benevolent assistant
assured US with perfect COM
posure that warm clothing
would be distributed in the
morning.
At 7 a. m. we stood on the track,
ready to start. The benevolent as
sistant of the night before cursed
and Illuminated:
warm clothing? For what un-
earthly use? You are going to
walk and not ride"
He was partly right. Before
starting from KotlaS 1 had de-
clined the kind offer of my friend
the bookkeeper, who wanted to
give me some felt boots and a
padded jacket. I decided that it
was better to march dressed in
light clothes, so I wore my light
overcoat, golf knickers, warm
Scotch stockings, and comfortable
low, brown shoes with rubber
Soles. My face and head, which
were the most vulnerable spot,
were protected by my warm
beaver cap.
The majority of the prisoners,
however, thought differently, and
demanded warm clothing, saying
that they had been promised some
by LySkin. The criminal convictS
were especially boiSterouS, as they
wanted some surplus clothes with
which they could gamble at cards.
1ncongruous as it seemed in the
penal atmosphere, some of them
actually shouted defiantly that
they would not go. Finally, in
order to mollify the ringleaderS,
six pairs of worn felt boots and
two jackets were given to the
guards, a sturdy, blond fellow,
stopped the rioting convicts by
loud command in the style so well
remembered by all of US from
Kotlas:
"SiIence! You will get moth
ing more! Understand"
This familiar outcry had the de-
sired effect. The noise quieted
down. The dentist was no longer
in our midst. lie had been held
for professional work at Penug.
The poor man had told me that
he could not -orgive himself for
his frankness at the cross-exami-
nation, which eventually led to a
10-year sentence.
