That this unprecedented time could

year cord tire equipment and the seV-

experience in plotting trucks over the

Both FacEol and Goodyear men are
expressing satisfaction over the estao-

rance attested both the worth OF the
seven speed transmission principle ana
the practicability OF cord pneumatic

RUSS GRAND DUKE TURNS
RED" TO WIN FAIR GIRL
Man NOI1 Nearly 10 Years Old Had Romantic COurtshD To
Secure Daughter of Postmaster As Bride. But Lived
Up To His Oath In Crisis.

LONDON. March, 12.-As Young
man ne was hard case" and al
though the Grand Duke Nicholas Con-
stantine Is now nearly 20 he remains as
unconventional as ever. SAYS the author
OF Famous MorEanatic Marriages.
II the Bolsheviks had not succeeded
In capturing the reins of power he
would have been given high appoint
ment under the Russian republic, but
now he is living in retirement and there
his exploits.
Nicholas was a rebel against his
rank To begin with. he strongly OBJ
ieoted to the narrow life he was COM
PEELED to live, and he could see no
reason why a pretty girl or an intelh-
gent man, no matter how lowlv born,
should not be admitted on equal terms
to the houses Of those Of kingly birth.
But the grand duke oVerdid things
and. mourning the displeasure Of the
car, he was conveyed in disgrace to
a remote part of the Russian empire
and kept under close supervision there
for a number Of years.
For the first few years of Nicholas
exile from the gaities of court life
Russia was fully occupied with foreign
and domestic matters, and the delln-
quent was left practically unnotlced.
Occasionally reports of his good con-
duct reached the czar who merely ex-
pressed grim approval and turned to
something else. But as year after year
went by and the grand duke was still
apparently behaving himself. the en-
peror relented and decided to pardon
apd renstate him.
But in the meantime something had
happened, for while Russia was making
history the Grand Duke Nicholas Con-
stantine had taken certain steps which
were to keep him apart from his family
forever.
The nearest town to the gloomy old
castle where he was confined was Tash-
kent, deadly place consisting of few
score houses and huts and popuia-
ton mainly ignorant and debased.
Meant To Be Loved.
Nicholas, after a good deal of trouble,
found only one family worth visiting,
that Of the postmaster, who was q
wizened fellow of so, of the name OF
Alkoff. He had a pretty daughter
however, Katrina, the pearl of fash
kent. Her pure white skin, intelligent
manner made her the belle of the couh-
try for miles around.
OF course Nicholas could not meet
Katrina every day without falling IN
love with her. She was meant to be
loved and the girl, who was as clever
as she was beautiful needed none OF
the arts of the coquette to turn me
head of the grand duke. He decided
to ask Katrina to marry nm.
The girl listened gravely to his pro.
posal ana il she did not say yes, >
there was 10 sign of refusal IN ner
eloquent eyes. Nicholas knew mat MS
love was returned.
Tfar night at supper Alkou Leaned
across the table and stared into Men
olas pale face. .. ~,
you wish to marry our Katrina
he asked, suddenly -,
with all my heart and soul, the
prince exclaimed, and no one coulo
doubt his sincerity.
