Prisoners Ignored

The tired prisoners and soldiers
Slackened their pace as they
neared the gates. On reaching
there we stopped, unburdened our
selves of our bundles, and waited
for those behind us. We sat down
in the snow, lit our cigarettes and
gradually regained equilibrium.
My low brown shoes and Scotch
golf-stockings we're covered with
crust of ice. The lucky owners of
broad coat-collars had raised them
and others had pulled their caps
over their ears. Time passed but
nobody paid any attention to our
being there. We were patiently
waiting, surrounded by a Gordon
of convoy.
After an hour and a half Of
waiting we finally saw a sleigh in
the distance approaching us rap
idly. When it came alongside Of
us, it stopped, the coachman
jumped off and pulled aside the
fur coverlet. A young man of
about twenty-five got out of the
sleigh first. He wore a khaki
woolen helmet, a short black coat
and highly polished top boots. He
was medium-built, slender and
clean-shaven. His dark eyes were
unusually bright and accentuated
the slightly degenerate expression
of his face.
The second passenger got out of
the sleigh more leisurely. He wore

ful indignation upset me com.
pletely. The sardonic voice Of the
architect brought me back to real
tiles:
"And here is our new home"
he said, pointing his chin at the
building some two hundred yards
ahead of us.
There seemed to be enough
housing provision for all of us.
The building were surrounded by
a barbed-wire fence. A sentry
box stood at the high gates and
over them was an inscription
which 1 could not read at that dis
tance. Behind the barbed-wire en-
closure a group of men in mill
tary great-coats seemed to await
our arrival.

Get Hot Water

When I finally fully opened
my eyes, Funk, the shoepaste
manufacturer, was alrea d y
standing at the window in COM
plete readiness, smoking his
pipe. His expressionless little
green eyes tried to look out but
could not penetrate the frosted,
dirty window-pane and wan
dered over it's surface with a
tired and Indifferent air.
1t was getting noisier all the
time. Laughter and foul ejacu-
lations came from the gang Of
common criminals. The clatter
of wheels mingled with the con-
versation and produced a gen.
eral din. Then the door opened
and let in a current Of cold air.
The din quieted, but was i'm
mediately resumed in a more
joyful tone; boiling water had
been brought in.
The prisoners made a rush
for the door where the convoy
soldier had showed the spout Of
a large tea-kettle through the
grating and was dispensing
boiling water, a tin cupful per
man. Our precious Timofey-
ich, with his usual foresight,
had worked his way to the
grating long before and had
been chattering with the soldier
on subjects nearest to the
peasants heart he was now re-
warded and brought US a whole
tea-kettle of boiling water.
We were told that the penal
labor camp was five kilometers
from the Kotlas station and that
we would have to walk there.
Through the frosted windows we
could barely see the tops Of pine
trees, covered with snow. "The
very trees which we shall have to
cut" drawled the architect G., as
the train slowly crawled to the
station. Judging by the tempera-
ture within our car, it was very
cold outside. 1t would be no joke
to cut timber in such weather.

Inspection

A group of 20 men came out of
the gates. They were dressed in
army great-coats and in neW-look-
ing felt boots. They took their posi-
tions in a line, at intervals Of 20
yards. The convoy chief COM
manded: Your baggage will be
inspected. Come up in groups Of
Is to each inspector"
There was a quick movement in
our crowd. We all wanted to be
let into the heated buildings as
soon as possible and did not have
to be asked twice. Queues formed
and the inspection began.

laughter was heard. 1t was re-
placed by arguments and petty
quarrels.
On the eve Of our arrival
there was a feeling of tension,
mingled with curiosity and
fear. On thing was certain
it was much colder. The win
dows were covered with thick
frost, coughing increased and
the tubercular Granovsky had
to clear his throat and spit at
more frequent intervals, thus
adding to the nervousness of
his companions.

the family Rolls Royce"
In patient good humor, the bronzed
engineer bore it all, but finally moved
eff to claim Cara and, leading her to
the dance floor, whirled off to enjoy
the perfect symphony of rhythm he
invariably experienced when dancing
with her. There was denying that she
was superb, divine dancer. 1t SEEM
to him Cara's whole existence swayed
in response to the rhythm. Once they
caught the swing of the orchestra he
seemed to whirl, sway, turn and glide
alone, yet not alone. The exhilaration
Of Cara's presence gripped him like a
strange enhancing drug.
Meanwhile the man called Bill and
Ned Baldwin watched from the door.
"Look at 'em," smiled Bill, otherwise
Major William Moore, dead to the
world-goofy! Just like there was no
body else near 'em for miles. Good
old Pete! You'd think he'd pick some
one" but he checked himself. Peter
Houghton's friends were loyal with
that same rigid loyalty which he gave
and demanded.
An attractively ugly, long-legged
girl, supple as panther and almost
as deadly by reputation, was dancing
by, her jet black eyes and smartly
coiffured black hair in striking con-
trast to the chalk white hue of her
slender shoulders and arms, sophis-
ticated evening gown of scarlet reveal
ed. "Hello, boys" she said, as the
music died out with crash.
"Hello, Kitty, how's the new mare
making out?"

"Ah!" observed Ned, with an elab-
crate gesture of horror. "This sounds
like dark sanguinary work at the cross
roads. When girls start reaching for
each others scalps, it's no place for
little me. I'm. off to the cyclone Gel

ulous one deserted the conspirators in
favor of the punch bowl.
GLOW about it, will you, Bill--dear" !?
She added the "dear" with an alluring
little smile that bowled over the gal
liant majors last scruples.
Furthermore Major Bill Moore had
brought a generous supply of Mary
land "peach" with him when he arrived
He still had it, but it was inside.
"Why sure, Kitty" he chuckled. "But
promise you're not going to get Pete
into trouble?"
ooh, Lord, no! He and that, girl
are too crazy about each other to get
really upset. I'm just going to tease
that little 'Jo'ja' kitten a Bit"
Major Bills handsome ruddy fea-
lures broke into swift laugh. "Ah,

good as the famous Man Bites Dog!
o. K. Kitty, dear, with my irresistible
charm I'll lure the beautiful Cara
down to the stables. Don't forget I'll
demand large sample later on"
A hard, little smile curved the lips
of the girl in red as she watched Ma
jor Moore's stalwart figure bear down
on the dancing couple. "I'll teach her"
muttered Kitty Myland, on hearing
Cara's coo of, "Why, Major Moore,

dance with me. I'd been hopin' you'd

"First rate. You watch her Ned.
In the Maryland Hunt Cup she'll leave
Billy Barton looking at her racing
plates" The drawled answer came
with flush of pride. II put her over
the Willoby's fences today and sure

Both men stared. "What? Willo-

Kitty Myland's scarlet daubed lips
pursed themselves into reckless vi
vacious smile. 81 think I'll enter her
in the Grand National next year if"
hut her sentence stopped midway, for
at that moment Peter and Cara danced
by. "Ah," remarked Kitty in that
level clear voice which is woman's
storm warning. "There she is, the
little darling! Do you know, Bill
Moore, she had the nerve to speak of
my rosebud mouth as being daubed
with paint ?"
"Well, it is" replied Bill with the
unabashed frankness of long intimacy.
Don't want to give us a sample, do
you?"
Kitty Myland's glistening black
head shook abstractedly, her narrowed
eyes fixed themselves thoughtfully
upon Cara and their CLEAN was not
kindly.
"Even if she is Pete's fiancee, I'll
fix her." she announced suddenly. "No
baby child from 'Joja' is going to get
away with personal wise cracks. Bill
Moore, I want you to de me favor.
You cut in on Pete, take that Cara
girl down to the stables-sheIl rave
over horses if you say you like 'em.
Just bring her along. In about ten
minutes strike a match when you get
half way down the drive, then keep
moving. Will you Bill? You might
even get that sample you asked for"
Kitty's bold eyes pleaded eloquently,

as to hide her mouth which would

She had been 8 when. her adored
mother had died, but even now she
could remember seeing her father
lean over just like that, his hand in
his wife's while he stopped to kiss her.
The memory hurt like knife thrust,
so fiercely that she felt almost sick

turned back to meet two dark eyes
filled with malice.

Aloud she murmured in a soft and

was beaming, his eyes adOring the

Mrs. Sumers finished triumphantly.
