aaJaana.Tie end of Peter th^ treat's life and the

beginning are the parts that are pleasant-

fat to read about. The rest _is full ofcruelty and bloodshed. He wa* one of thegreatest rulers Russia ever had, and dul agieal deal for the country by enooui ajrinK

uad abolishing foolish customs; but hecidn't know that governments could becarried on without cutting off beads. No

one- else seems to have- known it \u2666•ither at

that time, but Peter cut off more headst!ian even the people of his own time

augh necessary. It is hard to under-stand how a man of his iiitvllipvnrecould

• P^-ter the Great waa born on June 9, iO"2,

and ii" liaby ever received a wannei wel-OSOM. He was the third son of Czar Alexis,

tut"of his two elder brothei Theodore andIvan, one was an Invalid and one was blindt.nd idiotic. Bo 'the throne was still waiting

for an heir, and »he Czar and all tho peoplerejoiced greatly at the birth of Peter, Hewas christened with greai pomp at 'theCathedral af the Annunciation Ui Moscowand surrounded with all the magnificence

that money could buy He had his ownr.partment^, of course, with a special staff

af eervants, and the walls were decorate!•u-ith gorgeous hangings and palntingF. Hisrrndles. as we learn from th<- old account

liooks of the palace, were "covered withKoM embroidered Turkish velvet." His

abeata and pillowcases were of white Filk,and his coats, cana, t-klngs > id shoes\u25a0were of velvet, cllk and *at!n, embroideredvith gold and pearls while the buttons andtarr^ls were of emeralds and pearls. WhenPeter grew up he didn't care for things ofthis, kind. Jlc liked small and sispply fur-nJ?!r"d ro.imF. Eimp!e f«re and nti c!othe«.and he detested ceremony. ISur. when he*.&<= a baby, of course, he couldn't help

liimself.

He was a strong and beautiful child, and

grew so fast that at six months ho was

able to walk. The Czar and Czarina made

a great pet «f him ard took him with them

wherever they went. When he was three

years old he began to take part in publlo

processfona, and the records of the time

tell us of bis small carriage, all "glittering

with totd." with dwarf ponies to draw It

and dwarfs riding on other tiny ponies be-(-luv and behind It.

When Peter was four years old the CzarAkxis died, and then there was a greatchange In tho little fellow's position. His

j mother, the Czarina Natalia, was the sec-ond wif<> i'T Alexis, and the children andrelatives of the two Czarinas had no love

\u25a0 r one another. Alexis was succeeded by

the Invalid Theodore, then fourteen yearsof :<r.\ and this brought the family of theBret wife into power. Natalia and herchildren, Peter and Natalia, were aecord-

banisbed to the country, and Nataliairas afraid tor a time that Peter"s lifewas not safe. But Theodore fortunately

mild diepositlon, and his sistershoped that before he died he would'have

son to succeed him. Their hopes weredisappointed, however. Theodore died and

tueceeded by Peter six years later.

The relations between tho two families:ic>v. became worse than ever, and at the

• ; of Theodore his sister, the Prin-Sophia, openly declared her belief that

oisoned by his enemies. Theesi rumors spread through the city,

"This Is Jack's night?" eald Mr. Bobblng-

ton. '«V''

:'-:'-' J- "-"Yes. and I'm going to tell how Ulysses j

went down Into Hades, the place wherethe spirits were supposed to be," said Jack."Circe told him Just what to do. He wasto sail from her Island and come to a placewhere three rivers met. Theso rivers hadthe most terrlflo names. One was Pyrl-phlegethon! Another was Cocytus, and the <

third was Acheron. Coeytus was a tribu- jtary of another river,.Styx, across which 1

the souls ot the dead were ferried by the jdumb boatman, Charon. You say all those•ch's* like 'K.' ,V"Ulysses followed the directions that jCirce gave him. Silent he sat In his phip. :with no rowers, for the north wind filledhis sails, and over the ocean he was car-ried tillhe came to the place where therivers met and flowed Into one.

"Ulysses left his boat upon the shore and i

landed. iia was first to dig a pit. and inithe was to pour an offering for the deadto drink. He dus the pit. Into It h&poured the only things the poor dead peo-ple could drink—the blood of a black ram.the blood of a black ewe, and wine andmilk and honey. .Y >

"He turned his face away as the deadcame flocking up from an opening in theearth to taste that strange banquet. .• • '

"He was to be sure that Tlresias, whohad been a great prophet, drank first. ButTreslas did not appear at once, and Ulysseshad to drive the other ghosts

—even

the ghost of his own poor mother, of whosedeath he had not heard till now.

"At last Tlreelas came— and drank. Thenhe asked Ulysses what he wanted of him."

"Tell me, O prophet," said Ulysses. ;

•shall Iever again tread the rocky coastof Ithaca? Shall Isee my ftlrwife, Penel-ope? Or take to my heart my eon, Telema-chus?*.

"He listened for the answer. Itcame Instrange words."

'Woe, woe and woe again to thee.Ulysse3/ cried Tlresias. '•Neptune, the godof the sea, will turn the waves of the seaagainst thy course because of the eye of

. Polyphemus, his son. But—be brave, and;you shall win your way home— after you;have been a beggar. But when you do getjhome you will be killed by your ownj yuests unless you kill those who do not

1 know you.'"When he had heard so much. Ulyasea

: wanted ever so badly to know ifPenelope

remembered him after so many years. Sohe begged tbe ghost of his mother to tellhim, and he was gald to hear that Penel-

i ope thought of him all the time."He saw all sorts of people down in the

Shades""Hadee Is the right name." put in Jean."Hades, then," said Jack. "He saw Tan-

, talus, who hud done dreadful things, pun-ished by perpetual hunger and thirst. Hestood in a lake of water, which ebbedaway from him whenever he stooped todrink, and the lake was eurrounded byfruit trees, allIn bloom, which waved awayfrom him when he tried to reach them.

"He saw, too. Sisyphus, who had alsotried to cheat the gods, and who had toroll a big Btone *»p hill. Directly he pot itthere, down it came again, and he had tostart in—and keep on doing It.

"Besides these, Ulysses saw many of thegreat chiefs who had been his companionswhen he was besieging Troy. He hadthought that they, more fortunate thanhimself, had arrived safely at their homes—and so they had, but only to find troublewhen they got there. Agamemnon, chosen
