Stalmakhov walked hurriedly from his office thru the big square where the market was spread out. hands, dark with dirt and cold, the sack on his shoulders . .. probab'y a workman from the Depot who had stolen’ some tools from hunger came there, and, looking round, Gornuikh said in his deep ‘bass voice: “And what are you doingyhere, eh? - Walking about? Watching? Just ‘so, There is work for us all here. It’s a pity that you called attention to me. Today I had worked most carefully over my cos- tume and fece. In Winter, no one would have known. True, we met today. .. . Find Klimin at once and tell him... .” Gornuikh looked round. He look- ed with his eyes only, not turning his head. “Tell him that I waited for him two hours today in the Commission. And don’t you look for him in the Commission. He does not go there in the evenings. Probably in the Party- Committee. He got mixed up in this business of getting wood, and chucked his work in the Cheka. Altho, to tell the truth, there is nothing to be done there in the Cheka. Well, find him. He is either in the Executive Commit- tee, or in the Party Committee, or with Karauloy in the Commissariat him; “he is sure to be in the Com- mission tomorrow. You will see him there, and cwn tell him your- self everything you want to.” end of us... . But today the mar- ket women are saying with such confidence that today, precisely, not tomorrow, will be the end of the servants of Anti-Christ ’ that’s us, of course,” Stalmakhov laughed. Gornuikh continued: “You think it funny that Gor- niukh should be listening to the babbling of women. But I know that sometimes it’s well epough for a Chekist to pay attention to women’s babble. You can always tell if, under the babble, there is the seed of a plot, or if it is simply hostile feeling towards us. . In general the mouzhiks need understanding. They do not see far, but what is before their eyes they examine and turn to account better than you or I. Well then, find Klimin, tell-him, stir him up, and at, least let him take some precautions. The rest of our Chekists are a useless crowd, Today I quarrelled with the whole lot of them. I tell them was anything to get hold of, I’d had it already, There’s nothing; but I:feel it in everything, in the last bulletins, in the answers of me that all this taken together speaks only one thing, and that is of revolt in the near future... .” tho it would be he would have te lie to her. He would have to, fow in his pocket lay a note from Sere- zha (affectionate diminutive of Sergei) Surikoy, written at the last station before he had gone off there into the blue steppe: Dear Stalmakhov, if I am killed, tell Mother that I have gone off for some years on a distant mission. To Germany or America. That will be my last request. In memory of our friendship, take my photo- graph, It is fastened to my old certificate, which is lying on the upper shelf of the what-not. Live and work. well. SERGEI SURIKOV. P. S. In case of my death give the letter enclosed with this to the President of the Cheka, Comrade Klimin. And when in answer to his emr phatic knock the door opened, Stal- spectacles in their tarnished copper frames, looked enquiringly up at him. And he heard the question: her beloved Serezha, the thread of silver light that held her joyless old age to joyful life, had died a terrible lonely death in the endless He would preach to boys, paint the danger in such lurid colofs that they would thru fear, tread the straight and narrow path. Easy graft he had for many years. In one of the pens where he did a bit, he was an un- trustworthy cuss, chumming with the screws (guards), long before he reached his present exalted line, thru mounting from the lower forms of crime to the confidence game. Even before he became a trusty, he was a miserable, slimy creature, with his eye on the Warden’s office, looking for favors. He may have played the confidence game of late, but only as a step to some bigger graft. And playing up his attempt to fleece a leading so- ciety woman gives him that society finish before which we must inevi- tably bow. Under Wing of Big’ Biz.
