the car, Il also felt ill, feverish,

again. He smiled bitterly and hand

notes in red ink

voice, 81 have wanted to speak to you

possible! Do you understand? This
life we are leading is impossible. You

there were tears in her eyes

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
STA western reforms and that she con-
sidered herself more intelligent than
the entire household in the palace"
In the meantime storms of unrest
had broken out in the land, and or
ders were 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
hypOcritical smiles and greetings. but
she was unable to change anything
even in the palace. 1t was then that
she became seriously ILL
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

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.
II am thinking of the future OF, our
children" he replied
The empress looked at him sur
prised.
Il do not understand" she began,
looking into his troubled eyes.
"A plot has just been unearthed, =
he said cheerfully, yet with a shade of
confusion.
"Oh, l know about it"
No, l mean another plot-a new
one. They have just learned of it to-
day. And shaking his head he
added:
Do you understand now?"
And he described to her in detail
the conspiracy of the terrorists
against his life. They became more

heads

yard with it's ricks, its lazy COWS, it's

The empress looked at him angrily
and shook her head.
Perhaps things will run more
smoothly when you will be a widow
said the car, rising from his seat and
running back and forth in his study.
That is nonsense" he said sud
denly and rang the bell, pausing in
the center of the room perplexed.
When the servant entered the car
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 af-
fairs of state when the empress was
ILL., In the evening the minister of
the interior arrived at 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 i'll! Do whatever you
like. 1t is all the same to me-"
When the minister of the interior
offered few words of consolation the
car interrupted him:
Il know you! l know everything!

hand.
The minister of the interior walked

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 long time she was suf
fering from a nervous breakdown.
During that illness various rumors
were spreading in the palace. 1t was
said that the czarina was planning to
leave tie 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.
