ORIGIN OF THE czAR,s BoDveuARp.
Tho Proud Traditions of Russia's Preobrn-
tlnskl Regiment.

fEEunfD-
jinsli Regiment.
The Preobraiinski regiment, which
since tho days of Peter the Great has been
tho bodyguard Of the emperor, is in con-
sequence tho crack regiment of the en-
apire.
1t is wcli known what a stormy time
preceded tho accession of Peter the Great
TO tho throne. He was prosecuted from
his very infancy by his sister, Sophia. whci
noted as regent, and only escaped miracu-
!, iously from death. The hired assassin.
of his sister were about to kill him ON the
altar of Moscow church. where his moth
or had placed him, having fled thither
from tho Kremlin, when number OF
young noblemen snatched him away and
carried him to a place of safety 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, village so 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
nhu btffttt III int DciHtau hriuy- 1ciufbf
true to his military instincts, formed a
regiment at Proobrajinski and began to
train the 30 oompanionssof Peter to be-
come its officers. Peter and his friends
soon became deeply interested In the mill
tary exercises and gave up tho life which
Sophia hnd wished them to lead. Peter
studied hard and passed from grade 10
grade inst as his comrades, who became
extremely attached TO him. When he de-
cided to proclaim himself emperor later,
1t was they-the Preobrajinski corps,
which stood by him and enabled him to
do SO. Sophia then sent her soldiers to
seize him, but tho Preobrajinskis repulsed
them, and the ambitious princess had to
renounce the throne.
All the ozars since that day, mindful Of
the fidelity Of tho Preohrajirski corps, have
kept up the regiment and made it their
bodyguard. 1t has thus the proudest ira
ditions In the Russian army and has al
ways lived up to them.-New York Trib-
