made pet of a large African honess. She had
suffered from abscessed teeth, SO fed her milk
and eggs instead of the usual raw horse meat.
When her three tawny cubs were born she was
given small allowance of meat. and by the
time the cubs were about 3 months old. they
also had tiny morsels of it.
'While they were feeding one day cub
fell out of the aperture in the bottom of the
cage through which the hired man thrust their
food and water. When I pushed the cub back
inside the mother (Czarine by name) pounced
upon my She dragged it into the cage
up to my armpit. pushed my left arm
through the bars and gently stroked her head,
saying "Ah, Czarine, you wouldn't bite the hand
that has fed you, would you, honey?" She
hesitated for a moment at the sound of my
voice; then slowly released her grip on my
right arm. And man! I breathed a prayer
for knew the Lord had his arms about me-"

The whole circuit of the exterior was

was closely linked with the Napoleonic
invasion. In the year 1912. the Don
Cossack troops in the imperial service
took from the retreating French Army
great treasure of silver which the in
vaders had taken from the churches OF
Germany. The CoSSacks debated the
destiny of this conSecrated wealth. At
last it was decided that the whole
treasure should be sent to the Metro
po1itan at st. Petersburg. The soldiers
felt they were thereby returning to
Cod what had been stolen from
sanctuarieS devoted to Him" This
silver eventually was used in the con-
struction of the magnificent ikonistas,
the screen which divides the sanctuary
from the body of the church. The total
treasure weighed about 81 tons.
The ikonistas furnished frame for
the miraculous portrait OF the. virgin
and Child. With the passing OF years,
pious pilgrims brought to the shrine
jewels and gems of great value IN token
of their gratitude.
Held Many Treasures.
Under the imperial regime the
cathedral was natural receptacle Tor
treasures and trophies Of patriotic
significance Flags and standards OF
every description stood round the walls
The keys of eight great fortresSes and
of II towns were displayed as relics OF
conquest The tomb Of that famous old
Prince Koutousov- -Smolenski, hero OF
the Napoleonic struggle, was an especial
object of reverence to the descendants
of his CosSack followers.
