Great rejoicings were being had at st. Pc

serfs. He discharged a pistol within a few
feet of the Emperor. and the shot would
probably have taken effect had not a peasant
turned aside the assassin's arm. The peasan

ror, with perfect presence OF mind, seized tht
culprit, asking him quietly, +" what have
ever done to you that you should seek m,
life ?" ~
