THE GRAVE OF FAITHFUL DOG.
Prince Llewellyn was man Of note
IN the time of King John of England.
A leader among the Welsh princes, he
occupied his Bethgelert house only ii
the hunting season. One year, while
living there with his family, he re-
turned from the chase to meet his
hound Gelert running toward him,
with lips and fangs running blood
Reaching the house and finding his
child missing, and the child's cradle
smeared with blood, he turned upon
the dog and slew him. When he later
discovered the child living and well,
he saw that GeIert had really saved
him from death by Staying wolf that
had stolen into the house. In remorse
for his hasty deed, Llewellyn expressed
his sorrow in the loudesf terms, and
ordered his servants to erect monu-
ment over poor Gelert's grave:
s.And now gallant tomb they raise,
With costly sculpture deeked,
And marbles storied with his praise
Poor Gelert's bones protect."
fear, however, that when the poet
wrote these lines he had not visited
Bethgelert. For Gelert's grave, al
though romantically situated, is decked
with no costly sculpture. The grave
stone itself is slender upright rock,
standing under large spreading tree
near the centre of level field. Al
though undoubtedly placed in its pres
ent position by human hands, it is still
in its rough state. No chisel has
touched it. The grave is enclosed By
an iron fence, and during the summer
months hundreds of tourists on their
way through Snowdonia make point
to visit it Harper's Young People

Macadam, an American, gave Eng
land the splendid roads on which the
old coaching records wero made, and
which she enjoys to-day. 1t is most
devoutly TO be wished that his ooun.
trymeri may follow his sound advice
and set about road-making up to
date, Our roads, In both city and
country, as rule. are Just sixty
years ,behind the age. Many years
previous to the Macadam road being
introduced in England. five miles an
hour was considered first-class work.
When the Manchester merchants, in
1904. to facilitate business, placed
thor "aying coach" on tho road be-
tween London and their city (186
miles) and timed 1t to reach the lat
ter place in four days and q half, 1t
was considered most incredible and q
new sensation in the world. From
London to Exeter (l75 miles), in
1742, the coaches took fortnight
slow. but not always sure. What q
change came over tho country whom
tho perfect roads have free access
all over 1t; and in consequence an
extraordinary rise In tho value OF
land took place. A few records NAV

ample OF sustained speed. which has
never been surpassed. The "Won-

the country people set their clocks
by her May day, however, was the
great day on which the coaches tried
to beat their own time.
