MYSTERIES MALTY FROM WHENCE CAME THE FIRST CATHERINE? Kings and queens iave come to the throne under the most unusual circumstances, but history relates no more interesting romance than that in which loured the first Catherine of Russia.

From whence did she come? When was she born? Who were her parents? All these questions may be asked, but no one has ever been able to answer them. She was Empress of Russia from 1725 to 1727, and her reign was most exciting in character. Her mother was undoubtedly a serf. Was she the daughter of a Lithuanian peasant or of a Baltic nobleman, Colonel Rosen? Both have been named. At any rate, she was brought up as a foundling by the Pastor duck, at Kingen and Marienburg, in Livonia, and was married to a dragoon, who was immediately ordered into active service to get tira out ol the way.

The incident that paved her way to the. Kussian throne was an uusual one. When the great plague visited Marienburg her parents, whoever they were, died, and Dominie Gluck found the child cowering in a corner of her wretched home. She ran to the good man at once, and, plucking hira by the gown, called htm "father," and, begging him for bread, refused to leave him. He took her home to grow up with his own children.

When she was 16 she was msrvelously fair, and, with a view of affording her a War-like protector, the pastor consented to her marriage with a member of the Swedish royal guard then in garrison in Marienburg. After the husband had gone to the war TOMOIUWW THE WEBEK WELDOH. In tho presence of a large company cf friends and relatives In St. Saviour's Church. Eighth avenue and Sixth street, on Friday, February 21, at 5 p.m., Miss Craco Edna Weldon, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas A. Weldon of 591 Sev-rntU street, was married to Alexander Weber of 172 Congress street. Tho Rev. James J.

Flood, pastor of the church, par-formed tbo ceremony. Miss Edna Wuldon, cousin of tho brido, was maid PURSUED There are still wolves on tho steppes of Russia, as appears from this story sent to a Swedish paper by one of its correspondents who was traveling in tho winter through tho wastes of what was formerly kuown as Lithuania. It was a bright, frosty winter day, tho snow was excellent, and the mall-slelgh gilded forward at great speed. A troika with threo Poles In It followed behind. Toward sunset we emerged from the dark Tine woods upon tho steppe, which stretched away in front of us ns tar a3 tho eyo could reach.

Soon the stars made their appearance, and tho moon rose. It was bitterly cold, and the snow crackled beneath the runners. Tho horses' breath roso iu tho air like thick smoke. The songs and shouts of the Poles died away, and profound silence reigned. Suddenly one of tho horses whitiDied, then another, aud a third shied violently, uttering that terrible cry ot which the horse is capable only when in extreme fear.

I could see by tho light of tho moon tho shadow of an animal about tbe size of a dog flitting over tho frozen surface of a marsh pool which lay some twenty paces from us on ouo side of the road. No animal can travel more silently than wolf when in search of prey, and mine can attack so suddenly and unexpectedly. I was slowly raiblng my gun when a second wolf roso immediately iu front of the horses, with crest erect and green, phosphorescent eyes. At the same time points of light appeared all over tho mere, and tho howling of tho bcasi3 rang out. A shot was fired; revolver in hand, Lescck, one of tho Poles, stood on tho driving seat of tho troika.

Then from the niall-Bleigh I discharged both barrels of my gun, and a savago howl announced thut they had taken effect; two of the most daring of our assailants lay rolling in the snow. The three Poles kept firing furiously, although tho attack ot tho wolves was directed more against our sleigh probably becauso it was drawn by double tho number of horses. Our driver had uo other weapon than his loaded whip, but with it Uo dealt tremendous blow. Tlio horses struggled madly, and tried with all their strength to break tho harness.

NOW YOU'LL I i uispiayea wonaertui resources in that re-j spect, and when the Russians became in-Ivolved with the Turks in 1711 st ored accounts that have come down to us represent her as having saved the Czar and his army when they were hemmed in at the river Pruth by bribing the Grand Vizier with jewels and money. In recognition of her services Peter founded the Order of Love sad Fidelity, or of St. Catherine for Women, and in 1712 male Catherine his wife.

By a ukase of 1721 the Czar proclaimed his right to designate his successor, and in 1725 Catherine was crowned Empress. An intrigue which she carried on with one of the chamberlains of the roval household aroused Peter's jealousy. The chamberlain was executed, and from that moment all relations between the Czar and Empress ceased. Peter could not bear the ingratitude of the household drudge whom he had made his declared wife, and in honor of whom he hsd created the Order of St. Catherine's Knights.

Peter died on February 8, 1725, and to the real crime history of Catherine, or at least, romsnce, she is accused, with Menschikof, of murdering Peter. Menschikof is accused of having poisoned Catherine two years later in order to make him absolute master and lord in all ways. This was the end of the romance of the little Russian slavey, who, without a home and of a lowly parentage, became the Czarina of Russia through having a pretty face and being exceptionally clever. FALSE NAPOLEOX. ot honor and nr.

John MeEvott Au-werda acted as best man. Tho bride wa3 gowned in white satin and carried a Iarire bouquet of white bridal roseB. She was given In marriage by her father. Tho maid of honor was gowned in whtto satin, trimmed with ping and blue chifiou and duchesse lace, and also carried a bouquet of roses. After a reception at tho bride's home, Mr.

and Mrs. Weber left for an extended trip to Panama, whero they will remain until after Easter, returning to Brooklyn to take up their residence here. BY WOLVES wolves scattered, only to collect again Immediately and renew their attack on the horses. Suddenly there arose a wild yell behind us. Tho threo Poles wcro rolling In tho snow by tho side of their overturned sleigh; Le3ocU's badly driven horses bad torn themselves loose from the troika In their terror, and wero careering wildly over the snow-covered steppe, pursued by some of the wolves.

They were soon gulled down, and in the stillness ot the night their death-screams were terrible. The Poles wallowed about In the snow, shoutiug, woeping and lamenting by turns. Their situation was. indeed, sufficiently serious, for only Lescck had had enough preseuco ot mind to hide himself beneath tho sleigh, aud tho mail-driver aud surrounded by wolves, could give them no help. I looked upon them as doomed, and felt sure that we should quickly share their fate.

Suddenly our pursuers disappeared, and although bleeding badly, the horses became Calmer; the gleaming eyes of the wolves were seen ouly here aud there out on the steppe. A shot rang out, then a volley, succeeded by yells of pain. A doson dead wolves lay on the ground, and two hugo beasts actually expired beneath tho hoofs of the horses as our rescuers came up in their tinkling sleighs. It was a landed proprietor with his servants whose solitary farm lay only a couplo of versts away. None of us were dangerously wounded.

The wolves had treated the Poles worst, for their clothes were nearly torn from their bodies; they were bitten, too, but not seriously. The following morning our host, Herr StanskI, found tho skeletons of the three troika horses scarcely half verst from tb scene of our struggle. Tho poor creatures were still bound together with tho harness. Youth's Companion. NEWS OF INTEREST feci to CHILDREN Forty boys, to 17 years old.

No sooner was her bark turned than Stillle, who had been watching her, went over to the raugo aud pulled out tho damper over tbe oveu. In about one-halt hour Mrs. Marvel, opening the oven door, was surprised and annoyed to find tbe oven quite cool and her bread not baking properly. She right away discovered that the darrper had been opened and knew that Sallle had been busy again. So opening the door leadlnc to the cellar she put Sallie in there and closed the door on hnr.

Sallie cried for a littlo whlla and then stopped and began to look around: then the spied tho great long swing shelf full of Jars ot preserves and jam and glasses of jelly and she began to wonder how she could reach It.
