the charges against MIN. Tnese nad been
prepared with such care that the commits
sion, though many of them were friendly
to Wollinski, were one and all forced to
bring him in guilty of high treason and
conspiracy.
As the doomed man denied the accusa-
tions, he was put to the rack and on his
bare back 100 lashes from the knout were
laid exactly as he had ordered in the case
of the poor old poet.
Biren was not naturally cruel man,
and now that his rival was at his feet he
would have changed if possible the terri
bic sentence of the court. 1t was that
Wollinski should have his tongue torn out
and then be impaled alive; that his accom-
plices in the conspiracy, which he had
formed for his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, should

quiet manner Swallowed a romance in his
past life.
One night when the lights burned
brightly in the gambling hall, and the
hum of voices in every European language
could be heard, the mysterious man came
In and sat down at his accustomed place
at the table.
Hc opened his purse, took out ten
pounds, the sum which heretofore he had
invariably played for, and laid it down at
his left hand.
Hitherto the luck had been against him,
but now it would seem that tickle fortune
turned her wheel in his favor.
He won on every bet. He doubled his
bets until his winnings had accumulated
to the sum of 200 dncats, or nearly 5000
pounds, which the crOupier pushed over to
him.
The lucky gambler did not seem very
anxious about the gold and notes. He re-
NAMED quiet, with his head bent, and
some one asked him if he wished to con-
tinue the play.
Instead of replying he laid his head OH
his extended right arm.
One of the servants of the establishment
touched him OH the shoulder to attract his
attention to the unheeded winnings and to
the croupier's question.
He remained strangely quiet and inn
movable. A doctor who was present came
forward and laid his fingers on the extend
Ell wrist, then looking up at the anxious
faces about him he exclaimed:

It would seem that Wollinski, through
his spies, was made aware of the doings of
Biren, and determined to oppose them by
counterpart.
Biren was great favorite with the EN-
press, as he was with the people of the
whole empire. He fully appreciated the
contest on which he had entered and which
had it's origin in the FOOLS wedding, and he
determined to destroy his rival or force
him to expiate the outrage on the poet
with his own blood.
He brought his charges, fortified with
incontrovertible evidence, and presented
them to the empress in her audience cham

Anna glanced over the papers, saw their
import and then asked

and Prince Wollinski to become friends

To which Biren replied:

all too small to hold Duke Biren and

This sealed the fate Of wollinski. From

Tho Terrible Tragedy That Attended .
Fools Wedding at the Court of En- press
Anna Of Russis-The Rivalry and Re-
vengo OF Court FavOrites.
copyright, 1892. By American Press Assocta-
toni
The reign Of Anna, empress of Russia,
was distinguished for many extrava-
gances, and she delighted in acts that
were either barbarous or absurd. The
empress still retained a court fool or court
jester. This fool, in 174O, was known as
Prince SoloZyn. He was deformed man
of fifty, and he was to be married, without
any desire on his own part, to a woman in
the service OF the empress.
A committee composed largely of her
ministers was appointed to provide the
wedding arrangements and to prepare for
the festivities which were to take place
in part at least-in house which, together
with it's surroundings, was constructed en-
tirely of ice on the banks of the Neva
river, near the imperial palace The col
umns supporting the roof, the furniture
and ornaments were all of ice, and were
to be lighted ON the wedding night with
particolored lanterns.
Among the principal members of the
committee appointed to arrange for the
festivities was Count Wollinski, one of the
favorites of the empress.
It was then the custom in Russia to have
the most celebrated national poet write
verses in honor of a marriage at court.
The leading poet of ST. Petersburg at
this time was Tredjakowski, a nervous,
sensitive man, who, with a high sense of
honor, refused to degrade his muse by al
1vinCy r. with cr,ch h,1f fOonorv
For this contumely the poet was stripped
and given hundred lashes ON the bare
back. His mind left him during the tor
ture, but when he revived he was thrown
into one of the ST. Petersburg dungeons.
On the morning of the 9th of February,
1740, the entire population Of St. Peters
burg awoke early in order to witness the
festivities Of the FOOLS marriage. After
the ceremonies were over, the poet, who
had in some way escaped from the Jail, APP
peared before the empress and her mobiles.
his face haggard and his garments covered
with blood, and he threw himself a5
Annals feet. Wollinski, the favorite of
the empress, had the man removed to the
dungeon again, with orders to have the
lashes doubled.
The empress was a nervous woman in
i'll health, and it was the duty of Wollinski
to devise new amusements for her. TWAS
this desire that induced him to arrange
the FOOLS marriage.
Among the men in St. Petersburg who
had heart and who felt the outrage of
the brutal conduct of Wollinski was Gen
eral Biren.
After the wedding Biren went to the
Jail, where he found the poet FRUSTRATED
from his brutal torture, with one of his
eyes gone, it having been cut out by the
cruel lash.
Biren was a man of quiet manner and
determined purpose.
Like all favorites, Wollinski had many
enemies in the capital, and these Biren de-
tcrmined to combine SO as to bring about
the overthrow of the man whom he re.
garded as II hypocritc and monster.
