N Russia, and, indeed, throughout the civilized
world, have become known 40 "Iliodor the Mad
Monk" And earned this title when / warned
the Gear that he must cast of his household the
scoundrel Rasputin, and put end to the shocking
intrigues which threatened revolution. ss's
It did seem madness to interfere with the soldlJ
entrenched power of the unspeakable Rasputin Hd
turned his attention toward me- but by an unexpected
happening Rasputins body was thrown into the very
lgrave he had prepared for in the gardens of td
imperial palace sa
Despairing of persuading the Gear and his uifl
to rid themselves of Rasputin endeavored to &C
complish it myself TwiceI arranged for his DEATH
but twice he escaped At last the assassins hand
reached him; but twas too late. @
If / had succeeded in putting an end to Rasputir|
and had accomplished the reforms which would nd
doubt have followed, the Bolshevik ruin of Russid
would not have been possible and the Gear and his
family would still be on the throne to-day. 9a
will explain all this in these pages from veeE|
to week
But who was this monk Rasputin?
How came it that this ignorant peasant from the
wilds of Siberia this uncouth creature who could
neither read nor write, grew to be the uncrowned
Gear of Russia?
