Penance For piscourtesy.

Nicholas l., car of Russia. was the
type of an absolute aristocrat. The
succession of terrible wars which
clouded his reign did not tend to soften
his disposition or to render him less
imperious. But rough and harsh as
he was, Nicholas had a measure of
chivalry In his disposition. He would
not tolerate under any circumstances
an insult offered to woman. As the
car was driving through the sheets
OF St. Petersburg he caught sight of
an officer Of his household in the act
OF upsetting an old beggar woman
whose hands were raised in a prayer
for aims. The official was quite un-
mindful Of the august witness of his
act and was rather pleased when, a
few hours later. he was summoned to
the imperial presence. Nicholas soon
undsceived him and In the presence Of
= dozen courtiers cut him to the quick
with his indignant reproof.
