wonderful character.
Aieeander I., that caught: wed and
virtueas prince, was then Emperor of
1tusaia, and expressed a dire to have
Pirnetti give a court exbibition, which
the magician consented to do.
On the evening appointed for the
ent.e'rtai'ament, the room in which it
was to take place was filled with the
members of the royal household. But
when seven o'clock—the hour tles'ig-
xiaated for the exercises to begin --ar-

Every few moments the Czar impa-
tiently looked at his watch; and when
It wee more than half-ptitst seven, mes-
sente s were disoatehel for the de-
lirttuent. They returned wed:wet him.

enterer] his majesty's presence with
the utnuelt e•:renity. Alexander began
to harangue him sharply on account of
his tarciines•s„-when he quietly said:
"S.eeen was the hour ;appointed for

"Yea," was the curt. reply.
"Your watch will show you 3. am on

The Czar dixw lies watch from his

"I will be with you, sire, pueetually

with a bow, be took hie departure.
A couple of the Canal's servants sec-

where he made his abode, and this
house was placed under the surveil-
lance of the police. Orders were also
Issued that uo ono was to eater the
palace, cxc••ept by the written permis-

The following horning, about five
minutes before twelve, a message was

Pirnetti bad not left his place of resi-

"You are a dangerous person," said
Alexander, tremulously,
