Decides to Die

During his confinement, he had
come to the conclusion that the
work he had done in the last ten
years was harmful rather than
useful to Russia and the Russian
people; and that as long as he con-
tinued to work for the Bolsheviks
at the penal camps and to add his
mite to the realization of their
plans, he was harming his coun-
try. The only logical thing to do
was to put an end to this work.
He talked to me for two
hours before committing suicide.
Thanks to my work and the
work Of other engineers and ex-
perts," he said, "the BOlshevikS
are enabled to continue the
achievement Of their plans and
wage their war against the peO-
pie, the majority of whom are
against them. Why should
help them? have already
committed an objectionable sin
by indirectly helping to support
the BOlSheviks during all the
years / have worked for them.
Have I the moral right to con-
tinue? No. Therefore 1 should
refuse to work, shouldn't /? If
I decline to perform tasks given
me in my professional capacity,
/ shall be sent back to the for
est, or thrown into the dungeon,
or shall be tried again and shot.
To escape these eventualities, 1
prefer to put an end to 1t my
self. / have thought about it
for . long time and it is the
only way out. Besides, I am
old, / have lived my life, and it
is time to quit"
tried to reason with him as
one normally does in such cases.
He looked at me sadly.
"NO, my friend, 1 am resolved.
I am talking to you in all earn
estness. At midnight 1 shall
hang myself. Goodbye" He
shook hands with me and led
me to the door.
I could not take his gloomy
words literally. Again asking him
to dismiss the thought of suicide
from his mind, I left his door
step and stepped out into the
dark.
The first thing I heard the next
orning was the news of
Bakhtiarov's death left a deep i'm
preston on me and often made
me think of his views as to where
the responsibility for the Russian
tragedy rested. He thought the
Russian intelligentSia was chiefly
to blame for it. He was quite
adamant on the theory that the
intelligentsia had done more than
anybody else to bring the country
under the BolShevikS' domination
and to enable them to conduct
their experiment in it.
Bakhtiarov thought that the
former established classes of so
ciety, such as the landed nobility,
peasants, laboring classes, mer-
chants, manufacturers and petty
bourgeois, were responsible only
in a minor way for the Bolshevik
revolution and, except for the in
duStrial workers, had taken no
active part in it. His indictment,
however, was directed at the in
telTigentSia of Russia.
"The intelligentsia was the
brains of the people. 1t had in
Vulnerable points of contact
through which it reached and
influenced all classes. During
several decades preceding the
revolution it sought paSsiOnately
to overthrow the CZarist
tyranny. 1t conducted a sub
versive propaganda by means Of
the press, literature, schools,
public and private discussions.

boat. The men were not looking at him. They
hadn't even missed him. He swan as hard as
he could, his black nose stretched out toward
the launch. which was rapidly putting space
between them. He tried to yelp at them. His
mouth got full of water. He turned and looked
around him. The bay was full of boats, noun

and his sides were almost bursting for the
want of good long breath.
There was roar and crash that sounded
like all the thunder storms of the world break
ing. And of sudden all the clouds of the
storms seemed to have settled to earth and
started to roll along the waters edge. In
stinctively the dog ducked his head. But
the smothering beneath the water was worse
than the roar and the powder above the sur

another terrific roar, the fash of fire, and a
blue-black Kissing cloud that rolled into the
steamng vapor. But what was more terrible
than anything else was the screams of humans
in pain. What chance had dog when King

upward for the air. There was no use listening

There was nothing to be heard but the crash

ears ached and his eyes were burning. but his
legs kept padding on. The muscles of his legs
began to twiteh with pain. They were tired
and he wanted to sit down.

When he felt that he just had to lie down
- even in the water as much as he hated it -
his eyes beheld wonderful thing. Floating on
top of the rough water - but floating - was
a door,

pup out of the house, or to lock him in, or to

telling where it opened. But anything was
better than this. So straight for the door he
steered. 1t was only two yards. but it was

manage to reach it, the door was wet and
slippery and the water rough. He paved at it
clumsily. lost his hold, slipped and was
washed under the door. His head came up and

up to the struggle for breath. The roar and
crash kept increasing and the air got thicker
and thicker.
After long while breathing came easier
Then he lifted his head and looked around.
There were the tall. grey ships splitting at
each other - splitting fire and smoke and ter
rible noise. He had drifted away from them
little but they still seemed terrifyingly near to
him. What sort of game was this that
humans played?
It was getting on to eleven O'Clock and the
tide was turning in. He began to drift slowly
nearer to the horrible game. He sat up on his
haunches. with his fore paws far apart to
steady him. He cooked his left ear little.
Then the loudest crash that had ever struck
his puppy ears shook him. He steadied him

N THE morning of May first. 1893, a
small launch ran out of a bend a
mile above Point Luzon and
headed toward the sea. There were

six men and shaggy brown pup aboard. We
are not concerned with the men. They were
on serious business - secret business. And
like most secret business, the world has come
to know all about it. We are concerned with
the shaggy brown pup. who has been neglected
by historians.
The first chug -chugs of the launch reused
the pup. He got to his long loose -jointed
puppy legs, yawned. stretched, shook himself
and sneezed to announce his willingness to
enter into any game that was going to be
played. Then he sat down on his launches,
and looked about him. As far as he could figure
out, nothing unusual was going to happen.
They were simply going out into the big tub
of water.
1t was not eating time and nobody seemed
ready to play. The air was clear and soft. 80
the brown pup found spot whe. the spray
would not bother him. stretched out. and went
back to sleep.
The excited voices of the men awakened
him an hour later. It then was good daylight.
He awakened suddenly. Danger was in the air.
He sensed it. He cooked his ears and wiggled
his nostrils and wagged his tail in happy ex-
pectation. Any minute somebody might
whisper rats" and point out the hiding
place of the offender.
But nobody paid any attention to the
brown pup. He ran about the small boat,
smelling corners and possible hiding places.
Evidently it was not a rat. So he sat his seven
months of puppyhood down and waited for
something to happen.
1t happened all at once and from an un-
expected quarter. A swell from one of the big
boats slopped over the side. When the pup
found air again and opened his eyes, the
launch was two lengths away from him and
running for her life. He had been overheard
many times but never quite that way. 1t was

until his throat was hoarse and the bark
trailed off into sl,rill screech. But it helped
him, that bark. 1t cheered him up bit. At
least it was one sound he knew; it warmed his
little belly and gave him some confidence in
himself again, though all the while he was
drifting closer to the herd of terrible things.
A grey mountain loomed above him: on
top of it, little figures moved that might be
men. The bcown pup braced himself and
barked some more. although his tongue was
dry and his throat was sore from the salt
water he had swallowed.
Suddenly there came familiar sound -
the voice of a man. He almost lost his perch
on the floating door. He'll was passing. for
here were human beings sliding shining boat
towards him, and human hands reached out
and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.
A few moments later his wet, salty little
body was snuggled in a nice white duck
covered arm. and he was being lifted higher
and higher to a deck on top of the world.
The nightmare had passed. Terrible things
that had barked and spit fire all morning
were silent. Men were walking about on a
clean deck that felt solid under foot.
The brown pup watched the stocky, ruddy
man with the big white mustache who seemed
larger and more important than any of the
other humans. Men raised their hands to
their heads when he passed.
His deep voice asked a question: What
will we call him?"
"One of the gunners suggested to me that
we call him 'Bobs'. sir - because he bobbed
up and down all through the battle, barking
at the Spanish"
"Bobs he shall be" said the Admiral.
The brown pup listened to his voice
and thought that here was a man a dog
could trust. And he knew in his puppy mind
that love would be his lot.
So it happened that on another Sunday
morning year and five months later. when
the Olympia sailed into New York Harbor
bearing Admiral Dewey. the nations hero
brown dog pattered down the gang plank at
his heels.
The nation idolized it's hero, and as soon
forgot him. But the brown dog who had
bobbed up and down in the churning hell that
was Manila Bay on that May morning in
Ninety-eight was more faithful to him than
man; he was faithful to the end.
