NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER NINE Prince Paul, wondering at all that he had seen and heard since ho had stepped into the hallway, still stood at the entrance to the Tanrevitch's bedchamber. Nata sha's light tone of voice puzzled him. Certainly she would be more concerned if the Tsarevitch was as seriously illas Remezov had led him to belleve. The presence of the huge, blackbearded monk, and his confident air before the Imperial presence; amazed him. Who could this man be?

"Your Majcstics.".
The Tearin rose and came for- ward happlly, both her hands ex- tended.

Paul began to speak before Remezov could answer. There wna some slight doubt in his volco asi he said to Rasputin:
"We're all very grateful, Father, for what you've done."
Paul turned to WolfT. "It's realy remarkable," he said. Wolff shrugged his shouldors. "I shall be the first to admit it." he said pointedly, "after I've made n slight examination.".
