The man who Is the most Important In the whole domain of Russia, from the point of view of Its ruler, Is de picted above. The czar never travels by rail without the gendarme, who l.i supposed to have the keenest scent for Nihilist weapons of anyone In hln em pin", going ahead of the train on his peculiar railway bicycle. Traveling slowly, with eyes and ears alert for the presence of the enemies of his master and their terrible weapons, this out rider carries his own life in his hands and the life of him who is considered of much more Importance, the ruler o tho Russian empire. Incidentally the outrider Is on tho lookout for defects In the railroad that might play havoc with the royal train, but this Is not tho primary object of his preceding the Imperial party. He Is nn Inconspicuous object on his curi ous wheel, and It is not likely that his swift progress along the road will bs observed until he Is too near a would- be assassin for tho latter to accom plish his purpose, A long experience with the- Nihilist gangs of Russia has taught the police of that country that the bomb Is tho favorite weapon with the killer of kingy. Should one of these be left on the track In such a position that tho wheels of the Imperial train would ex plode It, It must surely be discovered by tho outrider, or, If ho were unfor tunate enough to overlook it, the czar's life nt least would be saved, for the railway bicycle would cause the bom' to blow up, the rider's life alone belnn sacrificed. Hence the importance of the outrider. He Is continually In the proud posi tion of offering his life for his master. GREEN RIDGE. Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
