Astapova, Russia, Nov. 20.— W ith
out being received back into the O rth
odox Greek church, and knowing th a t
the end had arrived, Count Leo Tolstoi
died at an early hour this m orning.
There was apparently no suffering, as
death came as the dying man slept.
The patien t slept for a little while,
seem ingly b reathing more com fortably
than usual. Dr. Thturovsky and Dr.
Usoff, nevertheless, in a statem en t to
T olstoi’s son, Michael, held out but
slight hope and did not h esitate to pre
dict a quick end, under ordinary m ortal
circum stances.
Tolstoi, they said, was a splendid
patien t in mind and body, except the
heart.
In one of the h e art attacks, Tolstoi
was alone w ith his eldest daughter,
T atina. He suddenly clut?hed her hand
and drew her to him.
He seemed to
be choking but was able to w hisper:
“ Now the end has come; th a t is a ll.”
T atina w b b greatly frightened and
tried to free herself so she m ight call
the doctor, but her father would not re
lease her.
She called loudly from
where she sat. The physician injected

pilgrim age led him to the monastery
a t Shainardine, in the province of K al
uga, where he rem ained as the guest
of his sister, Marie, who is a nun in
the cloister.
L earning th a t his re tre a t had been
discovered, he insisted upon proceed
ing on his journey to the Caucasus,
where he hoped to spend his last days
close to the Tolstoian colony on the
shores of the Black sea.
But on the railroad journey he was
overcome w ith exhaustion and the cold,
and Dr. Makovetski was compelled to
have him transferred to the flag sta
tion a t Astapova, where he was made
as com fortable as possible in the rude
wooden building.
For five days he had lain there, suf
fering first from bronchitis and later
from inflammation of the lungs. Spe
cialists were called from Moscow and
other places, but notw ithstanding th eir
utm ost efforts the h eart of the g re at
Russian responded but feebly to restor
atives and stim ulants adm inistered.
Saturday the a tta ck s of h e art failure
increased alarm ingly, and many hours
prior to the end the physicians had
given up all hope.
Countess Tolstoi
was adm itted to the sick room for the
first tim e last night, but her husband
failed to recognize her.

In speaking of the hatchery opera

“ Deputy Warden Sam L. Sandry
