something to the headsman.
Was il a pardon? No.
Suddenly the axe cleaned

have been to make Peter
AIeXeeVitch - the son of

ideas.
Perhaps he believed Ekate-

Perhaps the idea had al
ready formed in his infleXible
mind of making Ekaterina his
successor.
Ekaterina was a strange
mixture of good and evil.
She had had a great and
good influence over Peter in
the early days of their union,
In later days all thought Of
being able to restrain Peter
had disappeared.
She abandoned him to his
drunken revels and his gross
immoralities.
She gave no indication OF
jealousy over Peters frequent
affairs with other women.
1t no longer disturbed her
if Peter took a liking for a
new laundress Or a lady in
waiting.
She even fnterceded for the
life of one of Peters former
fancies, Mary Hamilton, a
Scotch lady in waiting.

TRESPASSERS FINED

Roy Hutzley, Richard Saunier,
Jack Chiles and c. E. Williams, all
of Alliance, and Joe Anderson Of
GAINESVILLE were arrested by State
Game Protector Alvin Parmiter,
Monday, the opening day of the
squirrel season, charged with fail
ure to get landowners consent. All
pleaded guilty when arraigned before
Mayor John S. Mcbride, and each
fined $40, and costs of $40 each.
When the squirrel season opened
Monday, many hunters were in the
woods in this section, from the
northern part of the state, where
the season for hunting squirrels
does not open until Sept. 22- This
broken season will certainly work
against the interests of the hunters
of this part Of the state, and the
change in the law meets with prac
tically unanimous disapproval here.
