the Neva. The ice below had been
broken early in the evening to be
sure the body would safely pass
underneath. Then, as the chauf-
feur kept watch, they lifted the
huge hulk out Of the car.
And Rasputin revived again.
He opened his eyes. He snarIed
unintelligible oaths. Then he shot
out his hand into the coat Of the
Grand Duke Diinitri and ripped off
an epaulet from his shoulder.
More blows on his head. He sank
back, cursing. They carried him
out. One quick lift, one mighty
tug, the body balanced 4 moment.
Then they pitched it down through
the hole in the ice.
That was the story of the death
of Rasputin as the Abbot S.
related il TO me.
In the meantime, in the Alex
ander Palace, at Tsarskoe EelO, the
Empress wondered why her priest
did not come. The second day,

That afternoon one of Rasput-

The Empress dropped her head
and wept. The Car hurried back
frQm the front, where he had been
on visit to the army. And in
another day they found the
prophet's body. When il was re-
covered, as the Abbot told
me, Rasputin's hands were

shook hands with tense enthu-
siasrn, knowing not whose hand
they shook. In the eyes of some
were tears. Then one of the
younger women spoke.
''Let's go downstairs and our

They all trooped down the grand
staircase. They opened the door
to the picture gallery. And then

the conspirators. They were too
near the throne. The Empress
had To content herself with doing
great honors TO her prophet in
death.
She buried him in silver cas-

daughters went to his grave to-

very grave which Rasputin had had
dug for me when he learned that
I had denounced him and was de-

So, at last, Rasputin perished.

Thereupon the clerk handed him

Is no way Of getting around that.
"All right. Let me read my
telegram first. am looking for
some money" saying which he
opened the message. The shock of
what he read there was much
greater than that when the officer
had stated he was under arrest.
But just for an instant. The
signature treasured him, though
what it all meant he could not
figure out.
At the police station he refused
to talk. He had no money to put
up for bond and was promptly
locked up. That night an attorney
to whom Boomerang had wired APP
peared on the scene and allowed
little light to creep in on the be-
logged but trusting mind Of
Joseph William, who spent the re-
mainder of his time taking notes
for future reference and without
much fear of the outcome.
Meanwhile, in the office of the
chief of police, that official was
bordering over a telegram. Be-
fore him was the copy of his mes
sage to the Joplin chief:
Gam holding j. w. Snow for
whom there is a reward in your
city of Five Hundred Dollars.
Shall we take him there or will
you come here for him."
In his hand was the reply:
"Never heard of j. w. Snow.
No reward for him or anyone of
similar name"
The turnkey was Immediately
ordered to release Snow, who
smiled pleasantly as he passed out.
This was Sunday. Early Mon
day morning suit was instituted
against the Telegraph Company
for violating the secrecy of a mes
sage committed to it's care.
In the trial it was proven that a
code message to Mr.. j. w. Snow,
shown to be respected citizen of
another city, had evidently been
interpreted literally by some clerk
of the Telegraph Company (per-
haps hoping to share in the re-
ward mentioned) who had evil

information he thought was con-
tanned therein; that, as a result,
the aforesaid respected citizen had
been subjected to the indignity of
spending day in a cell in the city

by the sensational press, that had
made various and sundry guesses
as to the crime for which the afore-
said was to be called to account.
