Fifteen month* ago a Kansas City
employment agency sent Ivan Kon-

Fourteen months he worked, and
saved his money. Then he started

had three blue utripes on his sleeve."
Ivan is ver; observant and he re-
members the alleged officer's num-
ber. When Ivan still demurred the
policeman seized his arm and forced
him to show his money. The 1'ole
counted it. and seeing that the miss-
ing $20 was not there thrust it back
in Ivan's pocket.
When Ivan wished to count it, they
prevented hiru, and the policeman
escorted him to the street. He im-
mediately pulled out his fortune, and
discovered that it consisted of wads
of newspaper surrounded by a $1
bill. When he looked about in rage
and terror, he saw the policeman
returning to the house.
Ivan then walked along the street
holding ui) his newspaper wads and
bis $1 bill for pedestraius to in-
spect. Hut they laughed at him,
for he could not m:v\e himself un-

a ranch in Kansas, Ivan Kondrat-
vuk sewed his accumulated wages of
S333.40 iti a linen bag and set out
for Russia via New Yor'.. to spend
the rest of his life on a farm that
his fort une 'made possible. Twenty-
five minutes 'tom this city, last Sat-
urday evening, lie met his evil gen-
Ins in tin* form of a Pole. And to-
day. penniless and, if it were not
lor his fighting rage, hopeless, he
is looking for the three men and one
woman who, with the connivance of

that they were compelled to leave
him.
