G ARATOFF, Russia, Sept. This old
= world Russian city, with its Byzantine
churches and many colored monasteries, has
been aroused from its slumbers by the tragedy
of beautiful Sister Xenia. People talk of it
with hushed voices, because of the royal prin-
cess whom fate mixed up in it.
Crowds filed the nunnery church and the
square outside the other day, when mass
was sung for Sister Xenia. buried in the dead
of night under the church, In vault hewn
from the wall of the crypt where she joined
the slsterhood some two years ago. Crowds
followed the funeral of young man, buried
iii distant corner of the town cemetery.

Why did mourners at Sister Xenia's mass
whisper the name Of Alexis, and those who
buried Alexis sigh for poor Xenia2 Here is
the story, which sounds more like sad legend
Of the troubadour age than hard facts of mod

named Borisof in the Saratof government.
Her lively temperament and good looks
brought her many admirers OF these she

build this new Rome in a day, nor
shift that manufacturing center over

get results in brick and mortar and

the construction work is so near done
now, that all of us must start on the
next stage of the work building up

pull, and a pull all together-don't
omit to put in that pull all together
will do the work"
