Y., Aug. 18.—From colonel In the imperial Russian army, riding instructor to the blood royal and inspector of munitions for Ihe Russian war office to rough-garbed farmer on one of New York state’s "abandoned farms." It's a vast gap to bridge, but It tells the story of Nicholas Kadick, who to day is working out salvation for him self and family near .Apulia station. He was born one of the famous Cos sacks of the Black sea. his home in the hill country in the Russian penin sula lying between the Black and Caspian seas." After completing a high school ed ucation he entered the Russian armv in a Cossack troop, and served for 18 years. He fought in the Japanese Russlan war and the world war^hls gallantry winning rapid advancement In rank. He was tvounded 11 times; his face is marred by several scars, and one leg Is slightly crippled from being smashed by a shell. He was in the famous battle of the Masurian lakes, in east Prussia, ear ly in the great war, when Von Hin denburg smashed the army of the Russian General Snmsonoff and the marshes were filled with dead and wounded Russian soldiers. Five of Kadlck's brothers were killed In the campaign. By a fortunate twist of fat* he was sent to England as a munitions In spector before the Russian empire had fallen completely. He was there when Kerensky was trying vainly to save It. Then he was sent to America on the same mission and was station ed at many different munition plants In this country and Canada. When everything waa over and the old Russia gone, Kadlck finally bought the farm In the hollow near Apulia and started to retrieve brave ly the fortunes which sank with his fatherland's fall. His wife fortunately had com* with him to this country, with Nina, a daughter born In Russia. Bine* then two other children—Mleha and Nata— have been born. But Nicholas, the first born, named after Grand r>uke Nicholas, has not been seen by his parents since he was 5 months old. When Kadlck took the farm near this city It was nothing but a shell— a few barns and sheds In poor condi tion, an old house and 140 acres of land lying fallow and unfertile- To day he has 13 cows, 10 heifers, ser viceable equipment, a team of horses which cost J500 and a pair of mules. ianos and Players Priced To Suit The Smallest Purse Never before have we been in a position to offer such a won derful assortment of HIGH GRADE used pianos and play ers.
