Theri I left for home, met an old peasant woman, asked her the way, talked with her. She told me about her poverty. I came home and, while telling my wife about the profits ofthe estate, I suddenly felt ashamed. It became loathsome to me. I said I couldn't buy the estate, because our profit would be based on people 's poverty and misfortune. I said it, and suddenly the truth of what I said lit up in me. Above all the truth that the muzhiks want to live as much as we do, that they are people-brothers, sons of the Father, as the Gospel says.3 Suddenly something that nad long been aching in me tore free, as if it had been bdrn. My wife got angry, scolded me. But for me itwas joyful. This was the beginning of my madness. But total madness began still later, a month after that. It began with my going to church, standing through the liturgy, praYing well and listening and being moved. And suddenly they gave me a prosphora,4 then we went to kiss the cross, began jostling, then at the door there were the beggars. And suddenly it became clear tome that all this should not exist. Not only that it should not exist, but that it does not exist, and if this does not exist, then there is no death or fear, and the former rending in me is no more, and I am no longer afraid of anything. Here the light shone fully upon me, and I became what I am. If none of this exists, then first of all it does not exist in me. Right there on the porch I gave the beggars all I had with me, thirty-six roubles, and went home on foot, talking with the people.  \nI  \n'  \nTHE BIG BUILDING of the law courts, during a break in hear  \nthe case of the Melvinskys, the members and the prosecutor met in Ivan Yegorovich Shehek's office, and the conversation turned to the famous Krasovsky case.

The funeral will take place on Friday at I p.m.\"  \nIvan Ilyich had been a colleague of the assembled gentlemen, and they had all liked him.
