massive scope, and his subjects looked
forward to much anticipation.
He sailed around the island every
year to show the Danes how prosperous
he was, and made speeches which dis
played his education.
His coronation took place thirteen
years after his accession to the throne,
owing to the fact, as given out by some
of the more modern historians, that the
crown was at Mr.. Isaac Inestein's all
this time, whereas the throne, which
was bought on the installment plan, had
been redeemed.
Pictures of the crown worn by Ed
gar will convince the reader that its
redemption was no slight task, while
the mortgage on the throne was a mere
bagatelle.
A bright idea Of Edgar's was to ride
in row-boat pulled by eight kings I'M
der the old regime.
Personally, Edgar was reputed to be
exceedingly licentious; but the historian
wisely says these stories may have been
the invention of his enemies. Great
ness is certain to make for itself a tar

EDMUND THROWING LEoLF OUT.

vincial government over the Northum-
berland, the refractory district, and
sent a governor and garrison there to
see that the Danes paid attention 10
what he said. St. Dunstan had consid-
cradle influence over Edred, and was
promoted a great deal by the king, who
died in the year 955.
He was succeeded by Edwy the Fair,
who was opposed by another Ethel.
Between the Ethels and the Welsh and
the Danes, there was little time left in
England for golf or high tea, and
Edwy's reign was short and full Of
trouble.
He had trouble with st. Dunstan,
charging him with the embezzlement Of
church funds, and compelled him TO
leave the country. This was in retalia-
ton for st. Dunstan's overbearing order
to the king. One evening, when a ban
uuet was given him in honor of his cor
onation, the king excused himself when
the speeches got rather cOrky and went
into the sitting room to have chat
with his wife, Elgiva, of whom he was
very fond. and her mother. st. Dun
stan. who had still to make a speech
on Foreign Missions with yard or two
of statistics, insisted on Edwy's return.
An open outbreak was the result. The
Church fell upon the King with loud,
annual report, and when the debris was
cleared away, little round-shouldered
grave in the churchyard held all that
was mortal of the king. His wife was
cruelty and fatally assassinated, and
Edgar his brother, began to reign.
This was in the year 959, and in what
is now called the Middle Ages.

agriculture, trade and manufacturing
were diversions during the summer
months; but the regular business OF lie
was warfare with the Danes, Scots and
Welsh.
These foes of England could live cas-
lily for years on oatmeal, sour milk and
Gods heads, while the fighting clothes
of a whole regiment would have been

after two centuries of almost uninter-
rupted carnage their war debt was only

Edmund, the brother of Athelstan, at
the age of IS succeeded his brother on
the throne.
One evening while a little hilarity
was going on in the royal apartments
Edmund noticed among the guests a
robber-named Leolf, who had not been
invited. Probably he was pickpock-
ct; and, as royal robber hated any
body who dropped below grand larceny,
the king ordered his retainers to put
him out.
But the retainers shrank from the I'M
dertaking, therefore Edmund sprang

tween the leaders until 9O5, when Eth
elwold was slain. Even then the rest
less Danes and frontier settlers were
a source of annoyance until about 92o'
when Edward died; but at his death he
was the undisputed king of all Britain,
and all the various sub-monarchs ana
associate rulers gave up their claims to
him. He was assisted in his affairs OF
state by his widowed sister. Ethelfieda.
Edward the Elder had his fathers abil-
itv as a ruler, but was not so great as

get for the mud of its own generation,
and no one who rose above the level Of
his surroundings ever failed TO receive
the fragrant attentions of those who
had not succeeded in rising. All his
tory is fraught also with the bitterness
and jealousy of the historian except
this one. No bitterness can creep into
this history.
Edgar, it is said, assassinated the hus-
band of Elfrida in order that he might
marry her. 1t is also said that he broke
into a convent and carried off nun; but
doubtless if these stories were traced to
their very foundations, politics would
account for them both.
He did not favor the secular clergy,
and they, of course, disliked him ac-
cordingly. He suffered also at the
hands of those who sought to operate
the reigning apparatus whilst his atten-
ton was turned toward other matters.
He was the author Of the scheme
whereby he utilized his enemies, the
Welsh princes, by demanding three
hundred wolf heads per annum as
tribute instead of money. This wiped
out the wolves and used up the surplus
animosity of the Welsh.
AS the Welsh princes had no money,
the scheme was good one. Edgar died
at the age of thirty-two and was sue
ceeded by Edward. his son, in 975.
The death of the king at his early
age has given to many historians the
idea that he was a sad dog, aid that he
sat up late Of nights and cit up like
everything. but this may not be true.
Death often takes the good, the true,
and the beautiful whilst young.
Hewever, Edgars reign was a bril-
liant one for an Anglo-SaXon, and his
coon-skn cap is said to have cost over
pound sterling.
