GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1922 S - Famo us Mysterie s The Riddle Queen Kings and queens hv com to their thronei In the moat unusual of ways and,, surrounding many ol them, are mysteries bo impenetrable that they hare defied the Investigs tlona of centuries. But, not even ex cepting the strange secrecy which beclouds the fat of the Dauphin, or th 111 fortune which appeared to dog the fortunes of th Hapsburgs, history contains no more Interesting romanc than that which concern Catherln th First of Russia. Who was shef Where did she com from 7 When was she born? How did she manage to dispose of Peter, her husband? What was the osuse of her death? These are only a tew of the queries connected with her career, questions which scores of historlsns have attempted to answer, but In vain. Th mother of Catherine of Rus sia appears almost certainly to have been a serf, while her father has been variously mentioned as a Llthunian peasant, a Baltic nobleman or a eertaln Count Rosen. The first definite Information about the "rid dle queen" is that she was reared as a foundling by Pastor Gluclc at Ringen, In Livonia, and that she was married to a dragoon, who was later ordered Into active service in order that he might be removed from the seen. The Incident that paved her way toward th Russian throne was In Itself wel worthy of association with the woman who was to be the wife of the Csar When the great Dingus visited Livonia, Pastor uiuok found th child cowering in a corner of her wretched home. Bhe ran to him st once, seised his gown and, though half starved. Imperiously re fused to leave him, demanding that she be taken to his home and cared Cor. The clergyman agreed to this end educated her along with. his own -hiliiren. At 16 Catherine Is said to have been possessed of unusual Ueauty and 11 was then that she was married to a member of the Swedish royal guard, a romance which lasted only a short time, as her husband went to war and she was taken as an attendant Into the family of Cap tain 8chemeretef. It was here that she came to th notice of General Menschlkof. who purchased her and removed her to his own establish ment. While acting as a waitress at the royal table In the Menschlkof house hold, Catherine attracted the atten tion of Csar Peter, a guest of the general. "Where did you get that Slav they call Catherine?" demanded the Csar, and the next time he visited the Menschlkof house he Inquired again for the girl and was so Impressed with her poise and her beauty that his announced that he would take her away with him. Upon being Installed in the fam 11 y of th Csar, Catherine ' was at once provided with the most costly raiment and wag given a casket of Jewels, for Peter had not only been Impressed with the beauty of the girl, hut also with her ability as diplomatist. History relates that she played exceptional talents in mis ai rectlon and. when the Russians be cam Involved In a war with the Turks In 1711, the peasant girl Is credited with having saved the Csar and his army when they were hem med in on th River Pruth. In rec ognition of these services Peter founded the Order of Love and Fi delity, or of St. Catherine for Wom en, and In 1713 made Catherine his wife. Nine years later the Csar, evi dently acting upon the wishes of the beautiful Catherine, proclaimed his right to designate his successor and, In 1725, the girl who nan Deen picaea out of the street of Livonia, was crowned Empress of Russia. It was less than a month later, however, that an Intrigue which Catherine carried on with one of the chamberlains of the royal household aroused Peter's Jealousy and, after the execution of the chamberlain, all relations between the Csar and his Empress ceased. Peter died in the same year, and his death is laid at Catherine's door, Just as, two years later, General Menschlkof Is accused of having poisoned th Empress In order that he might become absolute Such was the final chapter In the strange romance of the Russian serving girl, foundling of unknown parentage who became th Csarine of Russia, principally because of her nrettv face and clever manner, but about whose life there cluster a nura ber of Impenetrable mysteries.
