Little CzQrewitch NOW
Somewhere in Hiding
Heir to Russia's Throne Concealed, Probably
in Some Obscure Part of the Country.
Story of Bloody Rug.

ST. PETERSBURG, June I1--Where
is the little Czarewitch? is the question
which all Russia is debating at present.
Only one person in Russia. outside of
the imperial household, the chief of
the secret police. knows.
1t is known that the heir to the Car S
throne Is hidden somewhere, maybe in
Denmark, maybe at Hesse Darmstadt,
some say, but probably in an obscure
place in Russia
A strong belief has taken hold of all
superstitious Russians. and everybody
is more or less superstitious in Russia,
that all the disasters which have over
taken the country are due TO relic in
the possession OF Gear Nicholas.
When the Czarewitch was born pres
ents were sent to the Car and CZarina
from ali parts of the world
The Blood Stained Rug.
Among these presents was one that
Was never made known In the press
This was a magnificent tapestry. Won
derful thing woven in coiors of green
and gold, with pink lights and great
yellow spots divided by snow-white
lines. This came from the Sultan of
Turkey, it Is said.
Just what the Car said when he saw
this tapestry. which is of priceless value,
is not known But the Czarina was de-
lighted, and Immediately demanded that
n rugmaker from Moscow be sent to
read the inscription on the rug and
trace Its history.

The rUgmaker came and this is the
report he made to the Car:
The rug Is what Is known as the
bloodStainSi rug of the tenth century.
in the twesfth century 1t was beWftch-
ed and wcs taken down from the wan
of royal palace in England, and picked
up and carried away
1T next made it's appearance in Rome,
in the fourteenth century. but was BAN
ished from the Italian palace because
of it's effect upon the courtierS and the
servants, who knew its bloody history.
And for the next hundred years it went
here and there. leaving always in its
wake Il story of war, of murder, of riot.
and of suicide
In the sixteenth century 1t disappear

hundred years. Then 1t reappeared In
the palace of the Sultan of Turkey,
where it originally hung, and It's his
tory for the next hundred years was a
bloody one.

The late Sultan lived in deadly fear
of its evil influence, but did not dare
TO get rid of it, but Sultan Abdul Hamid

upon whose. fate all Russia hangs
Again and again the Gar has been
asked III hundreds of letters to throw
the rug out or give 1t to a church. where
the saints would counteract the curse 1t
brings. but the Gar always refused.
The first story of the rug is that. in
the making of its very difncult pattern,
many errors were made. AS soon as an
error was discovered the weavers were
all put to death and new men put IN
their places and before it was finished

in Washington, In bis years service
