THE DAMsEL AND THE DUNGEON.

In the year 1854 the Empress Cath
crime II was seated upon the throne
Of Russia, but not so firmly that she
really enjoyed herself. In those days
it was impossible to throw a brick
in Russia without hitting two or three
conspirators. Intrigue was a profess
sion rather than a pastime, and the
leading patriots had a disagreeable
habit of strangling and otherwise MUIR
dering their rulers.
So Catherine, as she sat on her
throne, reigning according to the rules
laid down by the National league, kept
close tab on all that was going on,
not only in Russia but wherever it was
possible to have her spies. She was
determined that she wouldn't be taken
unawares. One day she received a
message from Florence, to the effect
that Prince Charles Radziwill was
paying court to Helen Tarakanoff, and
It was the general belief in Italy that
the two would soon be married.
Catherine became so agitated that
she almost upset her throne when
she sprang to her feet and shrieked an
order for Prince Gregory Orion to
wait upon her.
Helen Tarakanoff had been the
belle of Florence and Leghorn for sew
eral seasons. Her beauty was cele-

brated, eve in q country where beau
tiful women were the rule. And she
was additionally attractive because of
her pleasant disposition. She was
kind and generous, beloved by people
of all classes. She was surrounded by
mystery. There could be no question
ing her patrician descent, but her his
tory was entirely unknown. Only q
few people in the world knew IT, 1T she
was the daughter Of the Empress Eliz-
abeth Of Russia. Catherine, of course.
was one of the few who knew the
truth, and the continued existence of
the Princess Helen was a source of
uneasiness to her. That uneasiness
now became alarm when she learned
of the projected marriage, for she
knew that Prince Charles was danger
Gus.
Radziwill, prince palatine OF wilma,
hated Russia and the Russians worse
than poison, yet had dreams Of be-
coming emperor of that country. He
had set himself up as candidate for
the throne of Poland, considering that
but a stepping stone to the place he
really coveted. 1t may easily be seen
how a marriage with the Princess
Helen would have been desirable in
the furthering of his schemes. He
was bold and enterprising man, and
Catherine was afraid of him.
Prince Gregory Orloff responded to
her summons at once. He was a man
of majestic appearance, viewing him
from the front. He had all kinds of
rich brown whiskers. and a naughty
face. He had a commanding figure
and immense shoulders. But the back
Of his head gave him away. 1t was a
straight line up and down. Prince
Gregory was one of the strongest men
the world ever saw. He could twist
iron pokers into corkscrews, and roll
heavy metal plates into balls. He
could throw q small horse over his
head. Men of average strength were
as children in his hands. The Orloffs
were all mighty men. It was Alexis
Orloff who absent-mindedly placed his
fingers around the neck of Peter iii,
and when he removed those fingers
Peter was dead, and has been dead to
this day.
Catherine invited him to read the
message from Florence, and then
said: Go and bring that woman to
Russia"
Gregory bowed and straightway
boarded Russia's best warship. and

sailed away, to anchor, in due season.
in Leghorn bay. He had come to the
Mediterranean merely for a frolic, he
said. He wanted to get acquainted
with the folks, and he soon got ac-
quainted. The society girls from Pisa,
Leghorn, Florence and other points
were at the seashore, intent upon hav-
ing a good time. and they looked upon
Orloff as a great acquisition, for he
spent his money like an intoxicated
mariner and was the life and soul of
every social jamboree.
The Princess Helen, twenty years
old. and lovely as a seraph, was there
with the rest Of the girls, and it soon
was evident to everybody that Orloff
was desperately in love with her. He
followed her everywhere, and made
her magnificent presents. And it soon
was equally evident that Helen was
forgetting the absent Charlie Radzi-
will, and was losing her heart to tho
majestic Russian. Charlie was away
somewhere, fixing his political fences,
and in this case absence failed to
make the heart grow fonder.
After a series of brilliant shore en-
tertainments. Orloff invited the whole
push to a big fete on board his war
ship. 1t was an evening to be remem-
bered. The almost barbarian magnifi-
cence Of Orloff and his ship made a
great impression. AS the guests were
departing, Orloff begged the princess
to remain until the others were gone,
as he had a message for her. She
thought she knew what the message
was. It would be one of love; and
she seated herself TRANQUILITY to wait.
The last guest was gone, and Orloff
approached her. But there was no
smile of love on his face or in his
eyes. The brute in his nature was
uppermost. Without word, he seized
her wrist and dragged her roughly to
a foul hole in the bottom of the ship,
and locked door upon her. And the
ship set out to sea.
Throughout the voyage the once
and beautiful princess was
everybody's serf She was obliged to
do all the dirty work for the cook;
to peel the vegetables and wash
dishes and scrub the floor; and the
cook. who was as great a brute as
Orloff, treated her like a dog. II she
begged for mercy, he struck her
ac- g the mouth; and once he
di ed her about the vessel by the
hair, and Orloff looked on and
grinned.
In time the ship reached Cronstadt,
and anchored; and the night after it's
arrival boat came alongside, and the
princess was thrown into it. The boat
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-07-28

proceeded up the Neva to the fortress.
and there the wretched princess was
conducted along dark and noisome cor
ridors, dripping and oozing water, and
was shown into a black dungeon, wet
and foul. At the door she fell upon
her knees and begged that she might
at least know why she was prosecuted,
but there was no answer. The jailors
pushed her into the dungeon, and
closed the great door upon her.
This dungeon, with the others on
the same level, was below the surface
of the Neva, and it was deathly cold,
and water was always trickling down
the walls. There was a slit in the
outer wall. near the roof, and the cold
wind whistled drearily through this
slit through the long winter days and
nights; and in the summer she could
hear the river eternally lap-lapping
against the wall of her prison No
sound Of human voice ever reached
her; food was thrown to her, as to a
Gagged hyena, through a wicket in the
door, too high for her to see through.
For twelve years this martyred
maiden lived there in the black dark
ness, cold and filth. For twelve years
she crawled over the Shiny stones like
a reptile. and prayed for death.
But when death came she resented
it, and longed for more life. miserable
as it was. One day the Neva was in
food. The waters rose higher than
ever before. and presently they began
to flow through the slit in the wall.
The princess saw that she was doomed
unless she could escape from the dun
geon. She tore up huge rocks that
formed the floor of the cell-rocks she
could not have stirred at ordinary
times-and threw them against the
door. A warder came and asked her
angrily what she meant, and she
pointed to the water flowing in
through the slit. Let me out, or
perish!" she cried.
Nobody leaves a cell without an
Official order" said the warder, and
the door changed shut.
When the flood went down the ema-
ciated, almost naked body of the poor
princess was taken from the dungeon
where she had drowned and was
buried by two soldiers.
And hundreds Of such stories would
rouse the indignation of mankind II
the walls Of Russian prisons could
speak.

Canon William Sheafe Chase of Brook

years, only ninety seven plays in sixty
years have been turned down, showing
that where a known standard is set
producers work up to that standard.
He also said that censorship by pub

With only three faint noes the
House yesterday adopted a resolution re-
vising a new calendar Wednesday rule.
Henceforth it will be impossible for
any debate on one bill to last over two
hours, or any committee to occupy
more than two Wednesdays in the dis
cussion of a measure. The result OF
the adoption of the rule, it is hoped.
will be to speed up the work of the
House. The rules committee reported

Garrisoning the Panama Canal.

The Secretary of War has approved
plans for sending the first squadron of
the 18th Cavalry and the I'd Battalion
of the 4th Field Artillery to the Pana
ma Canal Zone. This change in the
stations of troops is carrying out in
part the plans for the garrisoning of
the Panama canal which were recon-
mended by the general staff in 1912. AS
both the 18th Cavalry and the 4th Field
Artillery are stationed on the Mexican
border, it probably will be necessary
to send some additional troops from
other points of the United States to
Texas and the border
