DeIiIah and the Gar.

Nicholas was not the first. nor will
he be the last, to yield up judgment
and will into the hands of a queenly
and beautiful woman. The motive of
Samson and Delilah of the vale Of
Sorek is scarlet thread that runs
through all history. And Empress
Alexandra herself, broken-hearted
woman from the beginning, was led to
the brink of the precipice by forces of
tremendous and universal strength !;
her passionate and morbid love for her
invalid son, born after long waiting
whose pains were alleviated, 1t would
seem. by Rasputin's magnetic force
Just as the fatal malady of the czar's
father, Alexander III, was lightened
by the similar but more benign power
Of Father John of Kronstadt; her OBJ
stinate and unconverted devotion for
the land of her birth; her passion for
autocrntic power. Those are not vul-
gar or trivial motives; they have
swayed great souls through all his
tory.-North American Review.
