hung a portrait OF the prince con.
sort. II was he who designed tho
room and every part of the castle. In
scarcely audible words. the white.
haired bishop of Winchester prayed
beside her as he had often prayed
with his sovereign, for he was her
chaplain at Windsor. With bowed
heads the impcrious ruler of the Ger
man empire and the man who is now
king of England, the woman who has
succeeded to the title of queen, the
erinces and princesses, and those of
less than royal designation, listened
10 the bishops ceaseless prayer.
Six o'clock passed. The bishop con
tinued his intercession. One of the
younger children asked n question in
shrill, childish treble and was imme-
iiately silenced. The women of the
loyal family sobbed family and the
men were scarcely less affected.
The queen is said to have bade fare
we'll, in feeble monosyllable, to her
amily assembled at her bedside at
midday. She first recognized the
,rince of Wales, to whom she spoke
few words of great moment
At exactly half-past six, Sir james

lad lost her queen.
The bishop pronounced the bencdic-
ion.
The queen passed away quite peace
fully. She sufIere no pain.
1t was thought that the queen was
lying about nine o'clock in the fore
aoon, and carriages were sent to Os-
cornc cottage and The rcctory to
oring all the princes and princcsses
and the bishop of Winchester to her
bedside. Ii seemed then very near the
end; but when things looked the
worst the queen had one of the rallies
iue TO her wonderful constitution,
opened her eyes and recognized the
prince of Wales, the princess and En-
peror William. She asked to see one
Of her faithful servants, u member of
the household. He FASTENED to the
room, but before he got through the
queen had PASSED into fitful sleep.
Four o'clock marked the beginning
of the end. Again the family were
summoned and this time the relapse
was not followed by recovery.
eThe prince of Wales was very much
affected when the doctors at last in
formed him that his mother had
breathed her last. Emperor William.
himself deeply affected, did his best

stricken uncle, whose new dignity he
was the first to acknowledge.

sensation and realized that I was in .

ing through my neck and rushing to my
head. I jumped from my bunk. and without
covering. rushed ort of the door and into
the cold. The air was so refreshing and
resuscitating that for several minutes I
stood and drank it in. unconscious Of the
severe change. until / became numb with
cold. I returned to my bed and then ex-
perienced the other extreme. The room
was still close and the air was sitting. but
the fire had burned low and I was thor
oughly chilled.

though IL was with no pleasant anticipa-
tons that I thought of continuing my
tramp. However. after the workmen had

can imagine the condition OF the atmos-

I would gain refreshment for the long.
