I do not suppose that many persons hnve heard It In America, nnd It may, there fore, be Interesting to relate It nt the present moment. In 15DS Boris Go dounoff had usurped the throne of Alus covy. nnd had had himself proclaimed Czar nfter the death uf his brother-in-law, Fcodor, the eld est son of the fa mous Ivan the Ter rible, The latter had 1 e a" t another boy, Dmitry, whom G o d o u n o ft had caused to bo mur rrtiNcnss iiadziwii.l dered In the town of Uglltsch, where he had been confined for some years. But though a powerful party had helped Boris to seize a crown that did not belong to him, yet thero were ninny persons In Russia who openly said that ho wns a usurper, and who were engaged in n scries of conspir acies against him, with the Intention to hae proclaimed ns Czars the only direct descend ants of Rurlk s'tlll left nllve. the Romanoffs. 1 ho family consisted of two brothers, Feodor and Nlklta. Tho latter was considered the handsomest man In tho whole of Russia nnd extremely popular, thanks to his nmlable. sunny temper and his extreme generosity, a quality which had always been unknown to Boris Godounoff, Tho latter determined to suppress these dangerous competitors, nnd he seized Feodor Romanoff, confining htm monastery, where ho compelled blm in ,i,. vi.. . ders much against his will. Feodor haa been married. His wife wns nlso sent to a convent and obliged to take vows as a nun. Kho hnd, howcier. succeeded In taking with her her only ,.on Michael, who re mained hidden In Kostroma nnd who wns later on to be elected by the boyara of Moscow a. Czar and to found the dynasty which reigned oer Russia until Alarch There remained Nlklta Romanoff, whom It was not so i-easy to reduce to powerlcssness. because ho was u cautious man. had a con slderablo number of followers nnd wns. more. Y.I' YTy. cnrefuI n" to appear ln public without being accompanied by guards In suffi cient number to protect him nualnst an un expected attack. But Godounoff managed to enlist on his side Nlklta's mistress, who ono night when tho latter was In her house opened tho door to the Czar's sol diers and delivered to them Romanoff In his sleep. The unfortunate man was seized, bound with heavy chains, put In a sledge nnd sent to a distant village on the Siberian frontier, which Is now comprised In the gov crqineut of Perm and which Is called Nyrob. The Journey wuh a long ono and It lasted many weary weeks. At last when Its goal was reached Ro miinoft was taken out of tho comeyanco which had brought him there and under his eyes a deep hole vas dug In the frozen ground In which ho was lowered, together with tho chains that loaded his ankles and wrists. Tho holo was covered with wooden pinnks and n guard was set to watch It, with orders to throw from time a tlmo n piece of bread to tho miserable victim burled there. Tho Czar hoped that a few weeks at tho utmost would see Nlklta die. Hut he was young nnd strong and ho lingered for months anil months, forsaken by everybody. In this horrible grave, which held him fast. At last his guards got weary of watching for nn end, which seemed ns If It would never come, nnd they resolved not to glvo him food any longer, ho ns to be ablo to return to their homo and to report to Boris God ounoff that hla enemy had succumbed. For iUi8 the Inhabitants of Nyrob could hear the wall of the dying man. Imploring a piece of bread or a drink of water from his gaolers. And now come" the legend tp which I have alluded) Tradition says that before Nlklta expired an old woman who had tha reputation of being a witch crept up to him, after having sent tho guards that watched over him to sleep, thanks to some magic passes which ehe made over their heads, and that she asked him what she could do for him. "Kill me." said the miser able wretch; "kill mo at once, so that at least I shall ho freed from this agony I nm enduring." "I need not kill you," she re plied, "because your hour has struck already, and In n very few moments you shall see tho end of your agony. Hut In the mean while the Almighty has allowed me to come to you and to reveal to you the future which TTriTJTrTCST NKJHT8 AT 8:15 Alatlnees Today & Saturday THE DANCE AND SONG HIT! Holiday Mat.
