THE KING OF ENGLAND
HENRY NgwBoLT, in the Independent"

In that eclipse of noon when JOY was hushed,
Like the birds Song beneath unnatural night
And Terror's football IN the darkness crushed
The rose imperial Of our delight,
Then, even then tho no man cried ''IIe comes"
And no man turned to greet him passing there,
With phantom heraIds challenging renowa
And silent tbrobbing drums,
l the King of England, hale and fair,
Ride out with a great train through London town.
Unarned he rode but IN his ruddy shield
The lions bore the dent of many lance,
And up and down his u3antle's azure field
Were strewn the lilies plucked IN famous France
Before him went with banner floating wide
The yeoman breed that served his honor best
And mixed with these his knights of noble blood;
But in the place of pride
HIS adnirals in bilIowy lines abreast
Conveyed him close Ike gaIleons on the food

My eyes are blind with dust,
My limbs are dull with pain;
But my body must up and after me
Again-again-again.
They hover and wheel above;
Where creep On, they fly,
And with their Taucous vaunt Of life
They tempt my soul to die.
For the numbness of my heart
And the length I have to go,
The dimness Of my starving sghs

Shall light me farther on,

Until that, too, Is gone.

helmets then, and no longer of serv-
ice for burrowing through the bot
toms of hedges.
It is interesting, however, to note in
these dresses, all of which have been
accurately reproduced for the tourna
ment by Mr.. w. Clarkson, of Yelling
ton street, who has been engaged upon
them for many months, how closely
they followed the fashion of the period.
Under James I. the cavalrymen wore
wigs with long hair hanging on their
shoulders. Under Charles they wore
the well-known huge felt hats, bigger
and more jaunty than those of to-day.
Still more interesting is it to OBJ
serve in these old costumes the de-
velopment of the ideas Of to-day.
One can see in the cavalry of a CEN
fury ago the modern idea of mount
ed infantry, for in that day the cav
airy wore bayonet. One can also
notice that in all these types the
horseman's sword was not, as is the
case to-day, attached to the horse,
but was slung to the rider, and this
method is to be reintroduced.
But there is one point of develop
ment which is not noticeab BILE. Though
the uniforms become still gayer and
more fantastic, nowhere in the old
types of these five-and-a-quarter cen
turies is there any sign of the modern
rational uniform of active service

mounted archer of Edward III. seems
to have been the more serviceably

rowed to the spot where it had gone
down to find an explanation OF its ex-
traordinary disappearance.
"a dead pickerel about eight inches
long, was floating on the surface. A
hole through the body showed plainly
enough that this pickerel was the one
the kingfsher had speared.
I drifted about the spot some time
and then something came to the sur
face, near the shore. It was big
pickerel, and with it the kingfsher,
both dead.
Zone of the birds legs was between
the great jaws of the pickerel. The
pickerel's long teeth were set through
and through the leg. The kingfsher's
spearlike bill ran clear through the
pickerels body from side to side, a few
inches below the gills.
"The situation explained itself to
my satisfaction, but my amazement
was none the less. The pickerel had
seized the kingfsher by the leg as the
bird was rising from the water with
the small fish, and pulled it back into
the water, expecting, of course, to dine
upon kingfisher.
'The b1d had instinctively turned
and jabbed it's sharp beak through the
pickerel, inflicting mortal wound.
The pickerel, with the bulldog tenacity
of its kind, had kept its hold on the
birds leg and the two had died to-
gether."
