A FATEFUL RING,

The widowed Empress OF Russia,
when towarduthe close Of 1897 she was
looking through the drawers of a desk
that had only occasionly been used by
nor husband happened 70 find a pc
culiar looking ring, consisting Of a heavy
band Of gold, IN the center OF which was
SET an extraordinarily beautiful opal
thanked by two diamonds of the inesl
water, IL was contained In an envelope
ON which Alexander III had written mat
the ring was one which had been worn
by his father on the little finger OF his
LETT hand. when that unfortunate SOW
oieigu was blown 10 pieces by the nitro
glycerne bombs OF the Nlhilists IN 1881
his entire left hand was shattered WIN
tho exception OF the little finger. which
remained intact with this ring ON IT,,
the rings worn on the third finger being
completely destroyed. Alexander III
took n from his fathers torn ana
manged hand placed II I'm the envel-
ope and hid IL away IN the drawer
where It was found by his widow after
his death.
Empress Marie, not thinking that
there was any IN luck attached TO the
ring, took It with her to Copenhagen
on the occasion Of her next visit to
