reporter back to President Graves.
However, nobody on Wall street ex-

THE CARS BODYGUARD.
Proud Traditions of the Preobrajinski
Regiment.

Proud Traditions of the Preobrajinsk
Regiment.
It may have been observed by readers
that a most prominent part was taken in
the funeral of Gar Alexander Ill by the
Preobrajinski regiment, which since the
days of Peter the Great has been the
bodyguard of the Emperor, and, in con-
sequence, the crack regiment of the EN-
pire.
It is well known what a stormy time
preceded the accession of Peter the Great
to the throne. He was prosecuted from
his very infancy by his sister, Sophia,
who acted as regent, and only escaped
miraculously from death. The hired as
sassins of his sister were about to kill
him on the altar Of a Moscow church.
where his mother had placed him, having
fled thither from the Kremlin, when n
number of young noblemen snatched him
away and carried him to place of safe
ty. Four years later Sophia, fearing to
have him killed outright, decided to try
to end his days in another way. She sent
him to Preobrajinski, a village fifty Or
more miles from Moscow. Fifty young
noblemen were sent as his companions
with the understanding that they were to
try to debauch him as much as possible.
She hoped in this way he would become
unfit to reign. But she was disappointed.
Peter had taken with him an officer
named Lefort, a French adventurer, who
had served in the Belgian army Lefort
true to his military instincts, formed a
regiment at Preobrajinski, and began to
train the fifty companions of Peter to
become it's officers. Peter and his friends
soon became deeply interested in the mill
tary exercises and gave up the life which
Sophia had wished them to lead. Peter
studied hard and passed from grade to
grade, just as his comrades, who became
extremely attached to him. When he de-
cided to proclaim himself Emperor later
it was they-the Preobrajinsk corps
which stood by him and enabled him to
do so. Sophia then sent her soldiers to
seize him, but the Preobrajinskis repulsed
them, and the ambitious Princess had to
renounce the throne.
All the Cars since that day, mindful Of
the fidelity of the Preobrajinski corps,
have kept up the regiment and made it
their bodyguard. 1t has thus the proud
est traditions in the Russian army-and
has always lived up to them.
