l Of England, who has been described
by some historians as the greatest Of
all English monarchs From an early
age he became famous throughout
Christendom as the bravest and most
dexterous of warriors. His first expert
ence In actual warfare was during the
contest between his father and the bar
Ons from 1873 to 1867. In the nine years
of the struggle his character became
matured and his experience ripened.
He then ranked among the first knights,
generals and statesmen Of the day.
Edward was proclaimed King Of Eng
land In 1872. Within few years he de-
termined to extend his power over
Wales and Scotland. Llewellyn was
then Prince Of Wales, when Edward
sent word to him to come and do hon.
age to the wearer Of the crown. Lew
ellyn thrice sent back word that he
would rather not. Edward thereupon
went with his fleet to the coast Of
Wales and compelled Llewellyn to flee
to the mountains Of SnOwdon. where
he starved him into treaty Of peace.
Believing he had reduced Wales to
obedience, the King returned to Eng
land The spirit Of the Welsh was
aroused, however by acts Of insolence
on the part Of Edwards subjects, and,
headed by Prince David, brother of
Llewellyn, they rose In revolt like one
man. Edward returned to Wales. For
months and months the people Of the
rocky coast held out against the forces
Of the King, but Llewellyn was cap
tured and brutally beheaded, and
David, betrayed by one Of his own
countrymen, was hanged, drawn and
Quartered. The fall of the two great
brothers accomplished the subjugation
of Wales. To prevent future rebellions
Edward built many fortresses, OF
which Harlech was the strongest.
When he died and his weak son came
into power and Wales again enjoyed
n sort Of national liberty, Harlech was
a power in the defense Of the country.
an instance Of which Is shown in the
stout resistance to Edward w. Since
Its surrender to Richard In the latter
part Of the fifteenth century it has been

sad days for the young girl. Her ia
Their sickened and died, and her only
brother was in the far South. battling
for the Confederacy. Thus she was
left with only the faithful negro slaves
and a nephew barely In his teens.
At this time the neighborhood was
full of guerrillas. Sue" Mundy and
his gang were terrorizing that entire
section. and soldiers and civilians alike
were falling at their hands. The out
laws were frequently at the Colerain
house, and. while Patsy never suffered
any indignlties from them. she was In
constant terror lest she might.
One rainy night in April. 1864, Miss
Colerain was sitting before a cheerful
fire. her mind busy with thoughts Of
her absent lover. when suddenly the
door opened and young Morehead. at
tired in handsome uniform, stood be-
fore her. Before she could speak the
young soldier caught her in his arms
and showered kisses upon her blushing
face.
A second later she broke from his
embrace, and. trembling with fright.

While thus engaged there came above

Hid in the Clock,

BY this time the guerrillas were at
the door, clamoring for admittance.
Then 1t was that an idea came to the
distressed girl.
THE old clock. Reuben; get into
that" she said; lit is plenty large, and
they will never discover you there"
The young man lost no time in clam
berng into the barrel of the clock, and
his sweetheart fastened the door. Then.
with lighter heart, she admitted the
guerrillas, who were. growing and
cursing at the delay.
Filing through the long hall into the
coZy sitting room, they took seats and
demanded refreshments. Patsy left
to comply with their demands, but she
had hardly left the dining room when
she heard the guerrillas raving and
curslng and the report Of firearms.
Realizing the worst, she hurried
back and reached the hall just In time
to witness the murderOus outlaws
dragging the dead body of her lover
from the old clock. At this juncture
again came the tramp of horses, fol-

and then to Patsy came blank.
For weeks the girl lowered between
life and death, a victim to brain fever.
When the disease left her she was but
wreck of her former self. When she
grew stronger they told her that she
had neglected to conceal her lovers
Overcoat and gloves. That the guer-
rillas discovered them and instituted q
search for the young soldier. That the
latter threw open the door Of the
clock, presumably with the hope Of
making his escape, when he was shot
and instantly killed. About this time
detachment Of young MOrehead's
command swooped down upon the
guerrillas and put them to flight.
This story reads like fiction. but.
nevertheless, every word Of it Is true.

which fits them and proceed as il it
always belonged to them.
There are two species at the New
York aquarum-water and land her
nit crabs. They both have the same
characteristic Of living in shells left
empty by other animals 1t does not
seem to matter whether it Is conch
shell or snail's shell that they creep
intO-they adapt themselves to the
shape of either with equal facility and
nimbly carry 1t around on their pere-
CARNATIONS until they find one which
suits them better. 1t appears to be easy
for them to move out Of one house
and take up their abode in another.
Probably Thoreau would count them
among the most fortunate Of living
things, for they appear to have no SUI
perfuity of goods to prevent them from
getting out Of life all the happiness
there Is in it.
Evidently they do not believe in
neighborliness for they enjoy little
fight-Or appear to. They are armed
with claw that would cause consid-
cradle pain If inserted in ones flesh.
This claw is of such a shape and size
that 1t fits tightly over the opening in
the shell and seals it against the in
trusion of an enemy. When the enemy
is of size and aggressiveness that
makes discretion the better part of
valor, the crab pulls his small claws
into the shell and locks the door after
him with his great claw. This Is hard
as well as large, and acts as an effective
barrier. The water hermit crabs are
fed with bits Of clam and fish, They
do not wait to be fed, however, SAYS
the New York Tribune, and spend much
of their time digging up the sand in
the bottom Of their jar and throwing
1t into their mouths In search for food.
The land crabs eat bananas and other
fruits. Their only use for water is for
drinking.

sodes connected Herewith was the de-
tense of Harlech by Dafyd ap Einion,
chieftaln whose courage and prowess
are told in song and poetry by the
bards of Cambria English supremacy
In Wales, established hy Edward l.,
had gradually weakened and eventual
ly decayeu. while En.iishmen were
fighting each other in he wars of the
Lancasters and the Yorks. After the
defeat, however. of the former at
Northampton in 1850. Edward ".
sought to re-establish the stout king
dom of his noted ancestor. Within
eight years he became master of all
England and practically all of Wales.
Three strongholds of the Cambrians
were still out Of his possession and
seemed impossible Of conquest. Strong
est of these was HarleCh. Within
its walls was Dafyd supported by sew
eral hundred men who knew no fear
and who deemed the honor Of their
people sacred trust reposed In their
keeping. When King Edward sent Sir
William Hubert against Dafyd to COM
pel his surrender, that officer encoun-
tered an experience which challenges
Hannibals crossing of the Alps. For
days the soldiers of the King marched
over mountains and crawled through
narrow passes, with yawning abysses
inviting death, but eventually they in
vested the place. Richard, Duke of
Gloucester. and brother of the King,
,,,l@
ate surrender of the castle. Dafyd re-
piled: Il held tower in France till all
the old women in Wales heard of it,
and now the old women of France
shall hear how defend this CASTLE"
1t was impossible to reduce the
stronghold, except by famine. This
means was tried and finally Richard
secured its surrender by promising to
intercede with Edward to spare the
heroic defender. The King was indig-
nant when this request was brought to
him and refused to grant it.
"Then. sire said Richard. when the
King continued to swear he would
show no mercy, you may, If you
please, take my life in lieu of the Welsh
chieftain's If you do not, l will most
assuredly set Dafyd back In his castle
and your highncss may send whom you
please to take him out"
The King relented and Dafyd was
permitted his life. 1t is the evacuation
of this fortress which is perpetuated in
the music Of The March of the Men of
Harlech."

Uncle Harvey the usual eloquent ar

Uncle Harvey did not respond. The
