AS is usual on such occasions, women
were in the vast majority, and the
drawing rooms were soon filled with

out:

ia, his father, King Haakon, reigns as
the real ruler of the royal household
at least. He isn't spoiled, for his
bringing up has been of the most
careful, but his parents are just as
much amused over his baby pranks as
the people at large, and they get so
much fun out of his capers that Olaf
so long as he doesn't break the royal
the palace cat, has. his sweet way.
Many a royal functionary has look
ed up the king On state business to
find his majesty and his handsome
queen playing horsey" with Olaf.
In these games the latter seems TO
recognize his fathers dignity to a GER
tain extent, SO he impresses footman
into service and makes him 'be
horse" This feotman goes down on
his knees, takes the reins in his teeth,
and little Olaf, cracking whip, drives
him all over the royal nursery with
the king and queen following as pas
sengers in the imaginary coach.
And then the whole nursery end Of
the palace resounds with royal laugh
ter and the childish shouts of "giddap
horsey." or it's equivalent in Norwe-
gian baby talk.
King Edward sent the little fellow

his house by the $50 bus, after an
hours work in the garden, Mr.. Hank
reached his Office, he opened his let
tiers, answered one or two of them,
and then set out for the Albany. Sir
Mark Buckingham, on his arrival in
town, had taken chambers there, and
had installed himself luxuriously be-
fore going down to pay brief visit to
Draycott Hall and his Kentish proper
ty.
Hank found the baronet at home
and in the best of spirits. To the
young man with wealth at his COM
mand the future seemed radiant. He
had, by one of those astonishing self
receptions Of which many men, espe-
cially adventures and criminals, are
capable, brought himself to look upon
John Wilson as really dead man.
But Sir Mark, rockingham was
very much alive, and he was going to
enjoy life to the full
He was at first inclined to resent
Mr.. Hanks visit. He considered that
the allowance he had agreed to make
that gentleman should have disposed
of all necessity for the continuance Of
an intimacy which belonged to- a past
he wished to forget.
But when Hank confided his scheme
the baronet became interested.
He agreed that the suggestion of a
gravestone was an excellent one. To
be dead was good for John Wilson,
but to be buried would be even better.
Mr.. Hank mentioned the sum, fair
ly large one, which he thought he
should require to put his plan into ex-
ecution.
Sir Mark made no demur He was
agreeable to find it. But he suggested
with a smile that the sum would have
placed very handsome monument
above him, while what Hank proposed
was a very, simple ~gravestone indeed.
"You can have the money" said Sir
Mark, as they parted. when you
have carried out your plan, let me

NORWAY'S BABY PRINCE
LIONIZED IN LONDON
Crown Prince Olaf Is Virtual Ruler of Royal House
hold in Christiana.

A flaxen-haired boy in bright red
suit and clasping fox terrier under
one arm drove through the fashion
able West end Of London the other
day. He was perched on the rear seat
of an automobile ''runabcut," and be-
side him sat a serious-faced, mother
Unlocking woman, apparently a nurse.
Some one in the street yelled,
There be- is! Hurrah." and the little
chap in the, red suit turned around
and acknowledged the welcoming
shout from the pavement with grave
little military salute, bringing his tiny
right hand to the edge of his gay
sailor cap.
The salute was mechanical move
ment, something the flaxen-haired boy
had been taught carefully to do. But
as the shouts from the pavement in
creased, and as many more persons
waved him a smiling greeting, the
real boy came out from behind the dig
nified little countenance, and with a
broad grin he stood up in the car and
waved his hand and shouted Justify.
The boy was crown prince. Olaf of
Norway, who at four years is perhaps
greater popular hero in his own
country and England than any other
European prince or potentate.
1t Is customary to acclaim royalty,
and the people Of England and Nor
way are used to it. But Prince Olaf is
more to the people than prince He
is a bright and pretty little boy, the
stories OF whose exploits are read and
related in every home. He brings the
element OF human interest into his

royal existence, and he is SO thorough
ly boy that the sight of the fair head
and blue eyes make every parent love
him for innocent childhood
Olaf went recently with his father
and mother to visit King Edward. The
king and queen of Spain and the
prince of the Austrias were there, to
say nothing of the great German kais
er and his empress. But in the minds
of the Londoners and Britons in gen
eral there was only one real guest,
and that was the boy prince from
Christiania. Olaf was the whole
show"
Scenes such as the one deccri)ed
above were duplicated every tin h

bered the boy from a previous visit,
and on this latest trip every one who
saw him took pains to make his re-
turn welcome warm. The child had
been instructed in the conventional
salute with which the male members
of the royal families respond to
cheers or bows from the people.
''But maynt I wave my hands, too"
said Olaf
''That wouldn't be dignified,'' re-
piled the royal father; ''and every
prince must keep up his dignity or
lose his peoples respect" he added,
half-seriously and half-smilingly.
But Olaf didn't care much about
dignity, for every time he went out
the real boy in him got the better of
the prince, and after saluting just to

Travelled Hands.

In the course of our lives, says the
statistician, although we write many
letters, we have not the remotest idea
of the distance our hand covers while
travelling over the paper
According to him, the average man
or woman writes about thirty words
a minute, which, with the up and down
strokes and curves, represent some
thing like yards, or 300 yards an hour.
A person, therefore, using his pen for
say two hours day can boast that
his right hand has journeyed a dis
lance of 100 miles.
And this, it should be remembered,
refers only to those who write, COM
paratively speaking, little. When we
come to the professional element,
journalists, clerks, ETC., who work six,
seven, hours day, the figures become
startling.

DESIGNED BY RAPHAEL

LONDON. March 14.-A picture OF
the Holy Family recently discovered in
Belgium, is believed to be a painting oy
Raphael which is known to exist, but
the whereabouts of which has been
known. The picture in question was
brought to London a week ago and
submitted to c. ]. Holmes, Slade pro-
fessor Of fine arts at oxford, and Roger
Rry, the artist. Their report afiirms its
genuineness.
Evidently it belongs to the last
years OF Raphael's life, when the
PAINTER found that the calls upon his
energies made It impossible for him TO
paint either fresco or easel pictures
with his own hand, all he could do be-
ing to furnish his pupils and assistants
with. designs, sketches and cartoons,
leaving the execution chiefly or en-
tirely to them.
The painting. nevertheless, bears the
name Of Raphael. and Mr.. Fry sug-
gests that It was designed by Raphael
and carried out by the Siennese painter
.Baldassare Peruzzi. who painted in
Rome by the side OF Raphael, in the
Farnese Palace and elsewhere and sue
ceeded Raphael as architect Of st.
