WAS PhlNoE oF do no wrong"
WALES. When he was a
boy of ten he was with his mother,
Queen Victoria, at Balmoral castle, in
the Highlands of Scotland. At that
time the queen was quite a skillful
painter in water colors and spent
many days by the waterfalls and in
the glens making pictures.
One day while she was sitting at her
easel young Edward was playing
around her The little prince sudden
" caught sight of a Highland lad In
kits The lad was making q sand
castle and adjoining it with heather.
"Ye'll No Dae That Again.
The prince advanced to him with
royal hauteur and asked for whom the
sand castle was being built.
"For bonnie Prince Charlie" was
the playful reply of the boy, who stood
with bis hands on his hips to see the
effect of a thistle on the top story
The lad had no idea that his inter-
locutor was any different from any
other boy. The young prince. however,
determined to make it clear that he,
and not Prince Charlie, was to be king
some day. He kicked over the castle
The Highlander, glaring at him, said:
"Ye'n no dae that again.
1t was a challenge. The lad rebuilt
his sand castle very deliberately. The
prince waited until the thistle was
stuck on the top story. then kicked it
over.
Yen no dae that a third timer
challenged the little Scot, beginning
to rebuild with even more de1ibera tASn.
The queen had been poticing the af-
fair She set-nsfdg her brush and pal
cite, but said nothing. only watched.
A third time Prince Edward kicked
over the Highland lads sand castle.
No sooner was it done than its killed
builder closed his fists and lowered his
head. In another moment the two
boys were hammering one another.
The queen sat there and never inter-
fered by word or act, The little prince
presently returned, weeping, bruised
and bloody nosed. while the rebel Gael
stood apart. To the little princes
plea for speedy justice and vengeance
the motherly queen merely replied as
she wiped the blood from the future
kings nose:
''It served you righty''
One other boy who has long since
grown into tall. sturdy Californian
told tales in former years Of an en-
counter which in his schoolboy days
he had in Scotland with the then
youthful prince. In this case, too, 1t
seems royalty was the aggressor. The
Californian. James Miller, was living
at the time IN Scotland. AS James
was enjoying donkey ride one morn
ing near the Firth Of Forth the prince
passed by and-just for fun-pulled
him out OF his saddle Next moment
his royal highness found himself Civ
ing and taking blows with a plebeian
rather bigger than himself, who did
not spare him punishment. In after
life the prince often referred pleasant
