BY one OF those strange freaks of
history the Tauride palace. st. Peters
burg, in which the Douma sat, happens
to be one Of the most characteristic
whims and extravagances Of that ex
traordlnary woman, Catherine the
Great, empress OF autocrnts. the Cleo
patra OF modern times She built 1t In
1873 to bestow upon her most enduring
favorlte and lover, Prince Potemkln.
He was an able general. He subdued
the Tartar Khan OF Crlmea and added
that beautiful peninsula to the Rus.
sian empire. The territory was then
called Taurlde, and Catherine christen-
cd the palace In honor Vt the hero Of
the Taurlde" when she gave 1t to him
as his reward with a fortune as well
as her own robust but tickle affections.
With Potemkin as her escort she
made the journey from ST. Petersburg
to the Black Sea to inspect her new
possessions, and In order that she
might be properly impressed with the
value OF the conquest the prince hur-
riedly built model villages along the
route which she stopped 10 admire.
Some OF them have since become places
Of Importance, and several, like Kater-
lnoslav and Katerlnodar. were named
In her honor.
After taking possession Of the palace
Potemkln gave his Empress one of the
most sumptuous enterta ,nments ever
contrived by human extravaganza. He
rivaled Belshazzar, Nero, Caligula and
other ancients In prodigailty and SPLEEN
dor. He invited 600 guests and received
them standing at the side Of the EN-
press In a uniform that was almost
covered with diamonds and other lew
els. 1t weighed as much as coat Of
mail; and his golden helmet studded
with gems was so heavy that 1t could
not be worn, and an aid de camp car
ried 1t upon a cushion at his masters
OF gold. and In the middle OF the feast
ballet was danced by the Grand
Duke Alexander and Constantine and

and the most beautiful young women
Of the court. The banquet occurred and

CHAPTER xxi.

O1AfIER ANIL
The morning sun, bright and fierce,
looked down upon a curious sight. In a
stone yard was little group Of persons
-Troke. Burgess, Macklewaln, Kirk
land and Rufus Dawes.
Three wooden slaves, seven feet high,
were fastened together In the form Of a
triangle. The structure looked not I'M
Ike that made by gypsies TO boil their
kettles. To this structure Kirkland was
bound. His feet were fastened with
thongs to the base Of the triangle; his
wrists, bound above his head, at the
apex. His body was then extended to
its fullest length. and his white back
shone In the sunlight. During his tying
up he had said nothing.
Now, prisoner" said Troke to Dawes,
do your duty"
Rufus Dawes looked from the three
stern faces TO Kirkland's white back,
and his face grew purple. In all his
experience he had never been asked to
fog before. He had been logged often
enough. He picked up the heavy cat.
and drew its knotted lashes between his
fingers.
go on, Dawes" whispered Kirkland,
without turning his head you are no
more than another man."
Rufus Dawes lifted the cat. swung It
round his head, and brought its knotted
cords down. The white back was In
stantly striped with six crimson bars.
Kirkland stined a cry. 1t seemed to
him that he had been cut In half.
Now, then. you scoundrel," roared
Burgess; separate your catsl What
do you mean by hogging a man that
fashion,
Rufus Dawes drew his crooked fin.
gers through the entangled cords and
struck again. This time the blow was
more effective. and the blood beaded on
the skin. The boy did not cry; but
Macklewain saw his hands clutch the
slaves tightly, and the muscles Of his
naked arms culver.
The third blow sounded as though 1
had been struck upon a piece Of raw
beef, and the crimson turned purple. The
Jogging proceeded in silence for tel
strokes, and then kirkland gave {
screech like wounded horse.
