their prone figures a pickering torch---the
only ray of light in the solemn cathedral.
At the close of their prayer fervent amen
from Rasputin gave peace to the troubled
soul of the Czarina.
That night, for the first time since she
started on the pilgrimage, she slept The
next day, dressed now as an Empress in
handsome clothes Of white, with white flow
ers on large picture hat dropping over her
handsome face, she and the Gear and Ras-
putin went out to drink of the waters of the
well of st. Seraphim. AS soon as the royal
family had left. the priests snugly and slyly
nailed that blessed saint up in his coffin
again. They reburied him under several
tons of blessed gravestones, to sleep in peace
till doomsday. For" warned Pobedonost-
self, IF they ever ask to disinter him again
we will say that the saint has sent US vision
forbidding us to disturb him."
There came, next day, at the nunnery of
st. Seraphim, an interview which cost the
Mother Superior of the convent many anx-
ious hours beforehand. To do really good
job and to make the Czarina feel that all
influences possible had been enlisted on her
side, Rasputin insisted upon her trying every
wonder. He had her and the Gear go on
foot mile or more out of the village to the
nunnery. This was to visit the blessed SIM
pleton' of the nunnery, st. Pasha by name
She was really feeble-minded old woman,
whose mutterings stirred up a vast amount
of reverence in the mystery-loving Russian
common people.

Chicago Council
Votes 56-2 Against
Retaining KlansYne1>

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-By q vote of -
to 2, the city council was on record
today as opposed to retaining mem
bers of the Ku Klux Khan on the city
payroll.
The vote was taken yesterday
when the city council was asked to
order the suspension of William H.
Green. city fireman and an alleged
member of the Khan. Il
Green recently had been ques-
toned by an aldermanic investiga-
ting committee regarding his alleg-
ed connections with the organization.
At that time he declared he had re-
signed from the Khan. He will face
trial before the city civil service
commission January rs.
Robert ]. Mulcahy, alderman act
ing as chairman Of the councils
committee, declared during the ses-
sion that a policeman had threatened
his life for his activities against the
secret order. He said he would
divulge the facts later.
John p. Garner, one Of the dissent
ing aldermen, referred to alleged
Khan activities in Morehouse Parish,
La. -
"A friend of mine who just came
back from Louisiana tells me that he
met Skipwith and DR.. McKoin and
that they are a fine lot of people,"
Alderman Garner said. "The whole
trouble down there is politics"
Skipwith is the cyclops of the
Khan in Morehouse Parish, and DR..
McKoin, alleged Khan leader, went
back to Louisiana after he recently
was charged with murder.
