What's that coming up the road?'' "A
gypsy camp" answered the farmer Sure
enough. There were a number of objects
that looked like houses on wheels. which
were drawn by very lean and hungry look
ing horses. There were quite a lot Of dark

were walking, and as the wagons passed
We could see that some were inside Two
large. black dogs ran into the chicken coop
Of our neighbor and came out with a
number of dead chickens. Running up the
steps at the back of a wagon, they gave
their booty TO gypsy there. The dogs
also visited several other coOps. but luck
lily they did not go to ours. We watched
the band pass, and an old gypsy woman
came up on the porch. begging TO be al

about that the fifteen-year-old Arthur was
besieging his grandmother IN a French
castle, a spectacle that may not have
seemed so strange in those warlike times
as it would now. Philip, who made use
of Arthur for his own ends whenever he
could, had sent him into the part of the
country where his grandmother was and
Arthur thought this a good chance to gain
possession of the person Of the aged Queen
who was one of his bitterest enemies. But
as he was attacking the castle King John
came up with his army and Arthur was
taken prisoner.
Just what became of him after this has
never been known. In Shakespeare's play
of king John" he is given into the keep
though he dares not speak mis- terrible wish
in plain words, contrives to let Hubert
understand that he wishes Arthur's life
to end Hubert goes by night to the room
where Arthur is confined with two at
tendants who are to put out his eyes with
hot irons, but the patheic pleadings of the
little prince turn Hubert from his purpose
Afterward Arthur is accidentally killed in
trying to escape from his prison. Whether
these things really happened no one can
tell, but it is true that Arthur mysteriousIy
disappeared soon after he was taken
prisoner. Happily for the Duchess Con-
stance. she died soon after her son fell
into the hands of John and before the
cruel end came.
