stol died peacefully hero Sunday
Mr. Makovetnky and tho other at

Btol woro at his bedside when the end

In tho morning, after tho countess hnd

dangerous.

ya Pollnna with tho purpose of ending
his days In solltudo to which he moro
and moro inclined in his later yenrs.
Ilia pilgrimage led him to tho monas
tery at Shamardino In the province of
Kalgula, where he remained as tho
guest of his sister Marie, who is a
nun in the cloister.

discovered ho Insisted upon proceed
ing on his Journey to tho Caucasus,
whoro he hoped to spend his last days
close to tho Tolstolau colony on tho
shores of tho Black sea. But on the

heart of tho great Russian responded
but feebly to the restoratives and
stimulants administered.

sick room for tho first time last night,
but her husband failed to recognize
her.
Sho had hastened to be beside him
whon sho learned several days ago
that his illness was serious, but tho
physicians had deemed It advisable
that sho bo kept away from tho count,
fearing thnt her presence might cause
tho patient emotion.
Other members of tho family were
from time to tlmo admitted to the
presonco of their father and his
daughter, Alexandria, has been in
constant attendance.
Physicians In attendance said that
Tolstoi was a splendid patient In
mind and body, except tho heart.
During one of tho heart attacks Tol
stol was alone with his eldest dnugh
tor, Tatina. He suddenly clutched
hr hand nnd drow her to him. He
seemed to be choking, but was able
to whisper, "Now tho end hnB come;
that Is all."
Tolstoi left a written note that ho
be burled without pomp, wreathes or
rlteB under "Poverty Onk" on a hil
lock at Yasnaya Pollana, whero ho
played as a child and where -tho peas
nnts woro accustomed to congregate,
