Edward, half brother of Edmund

political adviser.
Edward, afterwud called ''the Con-

assist him when he was al o%utcast, and

given to a Norman. The see saw how it
was going, no doubt, and accepted the
position. But let us pass OH rapidly to

be given to these pages, and, as Il fact
seems to call for another, truth, which
for the time being may be apparently
crushed to earth, may rise again.
