cruelty and deyiltry Of the monk.
OF course. he had an aceomplice for
the alleged "heaIings." The accomplice
was a former Bride in Heaven" one
Nine. Yoruba, lady in waiting to the
Czarina. Rasputin had secured a set of
apartments next TO this once pretty
woman and she "a turn had the rooms
communicating with the weakling Prince
Alexis.
Alexis had been suffering from bleed
ing al the nose, ears and mouth. Madame
VOruSa knew almost exactly when the
hemorrhags was due. likewise she knew
to the exact hour when it would cease
The procedure of Rasputin was there

the word Alexis was due to recover
Rasputin would go 10 the Czarina. and
kissing her on the brow, would tell her
he would now pray for Alexis cure. The
hypocrite then would call his chosen
soul brides" and, working them up to
a frenzy, during which they rolled on
the floor and tore their hair and vest

every cure" Rasputin would become

FIENDIsH METHODS
OF MONK EXPOSED.
Whenever the Car refused to appoint
one of Rasputin's creatures to traitor

little Prince to be pinched by voruba
in such a way as to bring on a hemor-
rhage, and then, going to the Car, he
would explain that the recurrence OF
the bleeding was a violation from God
for his refusing to grant the appoint
ments suggested to him. by divine au-
thority." The poor Gar, willing to do
anything to save his little son, confirmed
the appointments and in due course Ras-

Hardly less unbelievable are the depths
to which his female admirers would
stoop in order to receive his favors.
Prince Yusopoff before his death, used
to relate In London how duchess count

crowd round the monks table while he
was feeding and perform the most me-
