the Prince and Princess Murat, the Duke OF Leuch-

Duke de Lenchtemberg represents the Gar OF Rus,

Emperors heels should not soil il. He was swept
along by about thousand rushing folks, and he
cried loudly for policemen TO help him in the rescue
These, suspectng an attempt 10 assassination, came
up with their rapiers cnt oil the tan of the En-
