Lord st. re'ons, the British ambassa-
der. in Mos. ow. Several Russian Off
Gers of high rank whose names be did

dinner a guarded reference was made
to the cmI aror's death.
''Tby d. you speak so gingerly
about Il natter so notoriousT cried
Tcnnyson impulsively. leaning across
his naichJor, a Russian whose breast
was covered with orders. I'VE know
very well in England that the Emper.
or Paul as murdered. Count Zoboii
knocEed him down and Benningsen
and Count Pahlen strangled him"
There vas a strained silence; then
the ami ssador abruptly changed the
subic t. As the guests fled out into
an adj ming room Lord st. Helen;
drew lnyson aside. Don't go into

for yOl.r life. The man next you

He gave few hurried directions

The fact that a Floyd county grand
