CAR AND THE HERMIT.
Did Alexander ! Quit Throne for an
Anchorite's Cell?

In 1887 an old man, going by the
name of Fedor Kouswitch. appeared
in Siberia and lived the life of her
nit. At his death, % years later a
eryptogram was found among his pa
pers. The legend arose that the her
NIT was none other than car Alexan-
der ]. who had not cled, as was gen
orally supposed, in 1925, at Taganrog
but had voluntarily quilted the throne
for an anchortes cell.
Fresh life was given to this legend
b. the discovery. after Tolstoy's
death, among his papers, of a manu-
script entitled THE Autobiography of
the Hermit Fedor Kouswitch." 1t was.
and was obviously intended to be.
SAYS the London Evening Standard,
purely work of Imagination, but
showed none the less, that Tolstoy
believed in the legend.
\ recent writer in the Contempt
rary Review has also lent his support
Ia the legend, which rests on the fol-
lowing basis: A long time before 1928
the Car expressed MS intention, say
the gossips. of abdicating. His death
was sudden and unexpected. and it
took place in an insignificant town of
the Crimea
When the corpse was buried the fea-
lures had so much altered as to be
unacceptable and an official report
mentioned the presence on the body
of sears similar to those left by fog
ging, which was scarcely likely to have
adorned the body of an emperor.
Furthermore, k0uswitch bore
physical resemblance 10 the emperor.
say the upholders OF the legend,
walked like him with his hands behind
his back, spoke several languages flu
entity, and otherwise gave evidence Of
having received a very good educa-
ton.
In addition to this he showed him
self to he no common man by destroy
ing an his papers before his death, by
persistently refusing to confess even

alleging as an excuse that IF he told
the truth he would astonish the
world and he received visits from
people who knelt humbly before him.
After his death the legend obtained
an influential supporter in the Rus
sian historian, Schlder.
on the other hand, urges a sceptical
writer in La Liberte, it has to be re-
membered that the Czarina remained
by her husbands deathbed at JaSan-
rog up to the last minute, and he died
holding her hand; his doctor was also
present and has described every incl
dent of the final scene. Besides this
the hermit's writing is unlike the
Cars; the Imperial family never in
dorsed the legend and the Grand Duke

at the farm for rest and refreshment
after the chase. The prince. who
deems himself one of the unlucky
ones, takes notice of Bettina, and by
accident learns that she is the pos
SCISSOR of peculiar virtues, and deter
mines to take her to his court and
make use of her gifts to his own adj
vantage. Rocco appeals from this de-
cision, but the prince pacifies him
with the promise to make him court
chamberlain, with large powers and
emoluments. He then ennobles Bet

these added to the party. turnes gaily
homeward, leaving Pippo behind, to
his great disgust, and the sorrow OF
Bettina.
At the opening of the second act
the characters are at the grand ducal
palace at Piombino. A grand fete is
| to be given in honor of the marriage
of Fiametta, the princes daughter, to

dor that surrounds her, pines for her
free peasant life and for her absent
lover, Pippo Among the other we'd
ding entertainments is to be display
given by a company of actors and
dancers, the principal one of which,
under the name of Saltarelle. turns
out to be Pippo in disguise.
The lovers meet, and plan to
escape, which fails, through Rocco,
who announces the presence of Pippo
| to the prince. Meanwhile Fiametta
has taken a great fancy to Pippo and
| turns her back upon Frederic. She
acknowledges her passion to the
former and tells him that Bettina is
false to him and about to marry her
father, the Prince Lorenzo. At the
last moment Pippo and Bettina come
| together again and explain matters.
In q moment Of general confusion re-
sulting from the cross purposes of
all parties they escape by leaping
through window into the river be-
low, to the honor of all.
| In the third act the scene lies In
the large hall of an italian inn in
the duchy of Pisa. Soldiers of the
Pisan army are earousing in honor
of their recent victories, gained under
the lead of Frederic. over the armies
of Lorenzo. Pippo appears as a cap
tain and friend of Frederic, and Bet
| tina as a young trooper. in which dis
guise she has fought through the
war, as the companion of Pippo. They
reveal their real names to Frederic,
and Pippo declares his intention to
leave the army and marry Bettina at
once.
While preparations are being made
