palace added to the misery of the
young empress. She noticed that the
car was angry at her because she
was endeavoring to introduce In Rus
sia western reforms and that she con-
sidered herself more intelligent than
the entire household in the palace. !
81 In the meantime storms OF unrest
had broken out In the land, and or
ders we're given to pacify the discon-
tented at all cost. The empress did
not know OF the horrors that were per
petrated in Russia, and when she
learned Of them she consoled herself
in the thought that all the cruelties
directed against the Russian people
were not committed by order Of the
car. She believed that the car, like
herself, was ignorant of what was 60
ing on In the land.
But she soon found out her error.
Then her suffering grew ever more In.
tense She looked with disgust upon
the clique surrounding her, upon their
hypocr1tical smiles and greetings, but
she was unable to change anything
even in the palace. II It was then that
she became seriously i'll.
When the empress had recovered
she divided her time between her chill.
dren and her desk. She turned once
more to the reading Of books and also
devoted considerable time to writing.
Nevertheless the feeling that she was
alone and misunderstood in the palace
weighed heavily upon her. She grew
ever more and more melancholy.
One day, after having worked for
some time upon the tragedy she was
writing. the empress entered the
cars study. She found him seated at
his desk looking over numerous docu.
ments. He frightened up when she
entered and he kissed her hands.
"'Why are you so sad?" she asked. 3
II am thinking Of the future Of our
children" he replied. Me-

The car seemed pleased with his
words. He leaned back In his arm

the center OF the room perplexed. 5.;
When the servant entered the Gear
shouted and stamped his feet. The
empress had tainted. She was taken
to her room and remained for long
time under the care of her physicians.
The car neglected all important at
fairs Of state when the empress was
i'll. In the evening the minister Of
the interior arrived ut the palace with
an important report. When he was
ushered into the cars study the
| car shouted at him nervously:
For Gods sake leave me alone!
The empress is Ill! Do whatever you
like! It is all the same to me-"
When the minister Of the interior
offered few words Of consolation the
car interrupted him: a
II know you! know everything! I
know you all!' and he waved his
hand. ~
The minister of the interior, walked
out Of the cars study confused and
Inundated. .
And the minister Of the interior
heard the car shouting to himself:
Monarchy. constitution. anarchy.
Even my nearest are against me-"
The health, Of the empress was shat
tered and for a long time she was suf-
ferlng from q nervous breakdown.
During that illness various rumors
were spreading in the palace. 1t was
said that the czarina was planning to
leave the palace and return to her ma
tive land. It was then also rumored
that she wanted the car to abdicate
and leave Russia. But all knew that
she rebuked the car for his lack OF
will power and determination. S
