GEARS EARLY LOVE.

Beautiful Jewess DrOkra on.
A story OF the Cars early life.
which has long been known 10 GER.
tain members OF the Russian court, has
recently been published. II is the his.
tory OF love AFFAIR OF his youth from
which Il is said he never really re.
covered and for the breaking OF which
he has never altogether forgiven his
mother.
The girl concerned In the story was
OF Jewish descent and the daughter OF
a government contractor. n New York
sun correspondent says. Her name
was Rajssa Kagan. Al the age OF II
she was celebrated as a beauty and
courted by some OF the highest In the
land. including the Grand Duke Paul.
uncle OF the present Car Nicholas.
The Grand Duke on one occasion took
his nephew 10 one OF the lady's re-
oeptions. and no sooner did the lad
see her than he fell violently In love
with her. She reciprocated the senti.
ment and that same evening they met
By appointment In the conservatory Of
her fathers house and he declared
his passion and swore he never would
marry anyone else.
Al about this time Marie Feodorov.
ma. the Empress. was trying TO get a
suitable bride for the future Car. and
her choice fell upon Princess Alice OF
Hesse. The young man refused TO hear
OF the match. say Ing his troth already
was plighted. A stormy interview be.
tween the Czar and his son followed.
as a result OF which. alarmed at the
turn affairs had taken. the lad agreed
TO respect his fathers wishes. his last
remonstrances being silenced by the
threat that II the AFFAIR were not i'm.
mediately dropped the contractor and
his daughter would be sent TO Siberia
In exile.
When news OF what had happened
reached the young Jewess she made
but was saved Hearing OF this. the
young man hurried TO her house and
a heartrending scene ensued, the girl
again attempting TO kin herself, After
another violent quarrel with the Car
Prince Nicholas finally agreed TO travel
for year on the condition that dur
ing his absence no steps should be
taken In the matter of his love affair.
Scarcely had he left Russia. however.
when a compact was entered into
through the management OF the EN-
press by which the contractor agreed
10 marry his daughter TO certain
state Official Of Importance. and when
the unhappy Prince returned the we'd
ding had taken place. His marriage
with Princess Alice was celebrated
some little time afterward.
