But Gladstone. the Eton boy. was as In
teresting as "tha Grand Old Man." His
special and inseparabie friend was Arthur
Hallam. the subject of Tennyson's In
Memoriam." The friendship commenced
when Gladstone was IN his thirteenth year
and was never weakened until death came
to loose the silver cord. Hallam was a
delicate boy, and although his associate
was much inclined to outdoor games of
all kinds he gave up the pleasures Of play
in order to keep company with his friend
in their long walks across the country or
their heightened talks beneath the old oak
trees around Windsor. Gladstone at this
period was a fighter and an ''argufier."
In fact. argument ran in his family, and
the father of the three Gladstones at Eton
always encouraged them to discuss the
pros and cons Of every subject. however
insignificant.
William seldom lost an opportunity of
improving the occasion. Once the head
master called him to his desk TO account
for his not having marked down In his

his schoolfellows.
