nsyian sculptress, recently married to
realthy man from Australia, met her.
lima ginatve, inclined to mysticism, the
.n,,nr artist yielded nnresisting, to the sin
auar influence which Nine. Blavatsky exer-
o;sed over those who came in contact with
her.
The glamour Of romance in the Russian
xoman's life especially appealed to the
vo,np Scandinavian. Nine. Bavatsky, as
.be was accustomed to tell the story of
Nor life. came Of people of position and
nos.essions. Her fathers father was Gen.
Ils.is Won Rottenstern Hahn. and Privy
rourcillor Andrew Fadief was her mothers
father.
Nine. Bavatsky was born in southern
r.vnire. in the heart Of the Undine country,
a. midnight between the thirtieth and the
birty-frst of July, 1881. According to
time honorod legend in that part of Russia,
rersops born between these two days of
any year have power over the Undines
A Coesack who must cross the Dnieper
invariably prepares for death. but, feeling
certain of this power, Nine. Blavatsky, as a
child, approached its banks fearlessly, and
maintained that she was at that time and
ever after attended by beings which she
could see, though they were invisible to

holy water to float ship.
Still her eccentricities did not abate and
the violence Of her ever uncertain temper
increased, This last, singularly enough,
led indirectly to her marriage, her leaving
Russia and her devoting her life to travel
and to studying the deeper mysteries Of
nature under the tutelage of adopts Of
different countries.
Among the friends OF her family often
at the castle was Gen. Blavatsky. She
regarded him with mild contempt. invari-
ably speaking of him as "the plumeless
raven"
After particularly vicious burst OF
temper, occasioned by futile attempt to
coerce her, the governess who had charge
OF her education assured her that no ono
would ever be found who would marry a
girl with a disposition so evil as hers,
that even the plumeless raven would not
take her. She retorted that she would show
her At that time she was less than II and
Gen. Blavatsky more than 60. In three
days he had proposed to her and been ac-
copied.
1t was when the marriage ceremony was
being performed, as the priest said. Thou
shalt honor and obey thy husband" that
she first realized that If she remained with
Gen. Blavatsky she must yield to his mas
terry, and, determining that she never would,
very soon after she left the altar she fed.
Later she notified her father that she

would not return and was determined to
travel. 1t was then agreed between them
that she should keep him informed OF her
movements, and he would supply her with
funds.
With tales like these Nine. Blavatsky
stirred the ina gination Of the sculptress.
At the time she met her, Nine. Blavatsky,
in addition to her subtly convincing per-
sonal power and the strange theories she
preached, was alleged to be the sub ject OF sim
gular manifestations. constantly apparent
wherever she went.
Beautiful music, seemingly in the upper
air at times followed her from place to
place; heavy articles Of furniture moved
from one part of the room to another with
out visible means while lighter articles
resisted all effort to move them. In addi-
ton to this sort OF phenomena was the an
swering of mental questions, asked by those
about her. by Nine. Blavatsky, without
moments hesitation and correctly.
The young Morse woman left London
for her home completely enthraled by all
this. Her husband was dominant man,
and with Nine. Blavatsky's story fresh in
her mind and the spell Of all she had seen
and heard upon her his authority became
intolerable.
A friend, woman Of brilliant mind,
though deformed in body, was starting
for America to study law, intending to re-
