Gloomy Life as a Prisoner

Nicholas seemed to be stunned by the suddenness of the blow and made no attempt of resist. He rejected the suggestion of one of his generals that the Russian lines be opened to let the Germans pass through and deal with the canaille in Petrograd," de- claring that he was no traitor. He ex- pressed the hope that he might be per mitted to live at his palace at Liv- adia, in the Crimea, where he loved to stroll with the empress among the flowers and woods. Instead he was taken a prisoner to the Petrograd pal ace where the other members of the former imperial family had gathered to share his imprisonment At first the former emperor was not closely guarded but was allowed to walk in the garden twice a day under guard of soldiers. His chief occupation in the first weeks of his Imprisonment was in shoveling snow on the garden walks. He seemed to be in good health, displayed interest in what the foreign newspapers printed about him, but was caid to have periods of cry ing.

His income was believed to exceed $5O,O00, 900 a year. His personal expenses were placed at $50 a day, but the expense of maintaining the royal state was almost incredible
 When emperor he was classed as the wealthiest man in the world. He owned several of the worlds most beautiful palaces, and possessed a great fortune in diamonds, pearls and other jewels and precious stones. He owned, it was said, more than a mil lion square miles of cultivated land and forests. One-third of the output of Russias gold and silver mines was believed to be included in his income. gently in the colossal Winter palace, but at the time the imperial family resided in some of the other mag nificent establishments or chateaus, where he and the empress loved to Lold court. It was reported that he gave $100,000,O0O from his private treasury to Russia's war fund.
 A MiId-Mannered WeakIing
 In appearance Nicholas was rather slender and undersized, and, being sensitive on that point, he usually occupied the foreground when pho tograph was being made, so that his size would be exaggerated. His re- semblance to King George of England was often remarked. He was blond and wore full brown beard. Having no desire for ostentation, he avoided crowds and pomp when possible and carried no airs or buster. Although thodox Greek church, both he and his wife were reported to have been Spir- itualists, and it was said that he often consulted mediums, some of whom ob- tained considerable influence over him.
