learning. The wonderful boy then
matured a scheme for founding a col

ed from it by the entreaties and fears
of his mother.
When he was IS years old, Rupert
left England to go to war again. He
Joined the army of his cousin, Prince
Henry, who was then besieging the
city of Breda, and a chronicler of the
time says that he 'let no day pass
without doing some action at which
the whole army was surprised"
When Breda fell to the Dutch arms,
Rupert began to raise an army with
which he intended to make an attempt
to regain his ancestral domains, the
Palatinate of the Rhine. But his moth
er declared that he had had enough
of war for the present and, much
against his will, sent the young prince
to Paris to complete his education.
He did not stay in Paris long, for
his brother Charles, having raised an
army to invade the Palatinate, Rupert,
now 10 years old, Joined it and was put
in command of regiment of cavalry.
The troops of the German Emperor
fell on the army of invasion and de-
feated it in a pitched battle. Twice

At the third charge his troops gave
way. Rupert was taken prisoner and
an officer of the imperial forces, strik-
ing up his helmet, demanded to know
who he was.
"A colonel" replied Rupert.

the officer.
A soldier coming up recognized the
boy and exclaimed: The Electoral
Princel"
There was much joy among the i'm
perial troops that Prince Rupert whom
they had learned to fear, was cap
tured at last. and he was taken as
prisoner to Vienna.
Rupert was kept a prisoner until he
was 20 years old, when he was re-
leased. Soon .afterward he went to
England to begin that service in the
cause of his Uncle Charles which has
made him a figure in history.

lage would refer to him as "our es-
teemed townsman," as he spoke of
Willis Carter, who had gone to the
Spanish War, and he knew that then
Lille Collins would not play with
Bill Smith just to tease him.
He rather regretted leaving Lille.
He wondered if she would cry and if
she would go to the pie-sociel Wednes-
day with Bill. When he bought Bits
gun he would have to ask if any ar
rangements had been made.
Bill assured him that he had prom
ised to take Jennie Adams, and, thus
eased in mind, Tommy gave up half
of his money for the gun ready loaded
and a nickel for a compass. Thus
equipped he faced the west and start
ed out.
Eason is five milessfrom Chester, the
railroad center, and five miles is
long walk for a 14-year-old boy who
has been roaming about the woods all
day. To make matters worse the COM
pass wobbled Interestingly, and Tom
my was walking through the woods,
because Indian fighters never followed
anything better than a trail. There
were no Indian trails in Seaton's woods,
so one must follow the compass. 1t
was o'clock when he shook the dust
of Easton from his feet and being lost
because the compass would not stay
pointed due north, it was fully 6
clock before he came across his first
Indian.
Tommy was rather surprised to meet
an Indian so soon. He had not sup
posed that there were Indians in Ohio,
and had expected to travel before he
encountered the redskins. Then too,
a single Indian smoking a cigar is
rather confusing when one has a plan
of attack laid out that includes the
slaughter of not less than thirty at
time.
He approached cautiously. The In
dian smiled. Tommy wondered.
1t must be an ambush! But how
could they have known so soon that
he was coming? The matter puzzled
Tommy. He would have preferred to
wait a couple of days till he had be-
come used to the idea.
It would never do to show the white
feather however. so Tommy put on
brave face, though his heart was beat
ing fast enough to scare him and de-

why how do you do, Miss Polly!"
And then grandma said:

children hid in this room. If you can
find them we will have a little sur
prise party"
And little Ellen clapped her hands
and said:
ooh, what fun, grandma! Now we
know what the secret isl"
And Peter and Ellen ran around the
big long room, and began to look for
the six little children.
And all at once Ellen looked under
