road toward the lodge. His grave, distressed look
| showed dec absorption in his own sad thoughts
which, ever, did not hinder him from
promp recognition and acknowledgment of
the respectful salutations which he re-
| ceived from the persons whom he met
during his walk. The Duke of Fife |
saw afterward, walking rapidly from Dersingham
to Sandringham House. The two Of the
