.BR|TA|Ns FIRST BOY.
Ioins Ship and Takes Place as
cadet Edward"
Eldest Son Of King George, Aged Six.
teen Years, Is Highly Popular
Much Like Other Eng
fish Lads.

London.-Prince Edward of Wales,
who has been the first boy of Eng
and" for 1G years, has gone to join
his ship at Dartmouth and take his
place as Cadet Edward Of Wales.
During the funeral ceremonies of his
grandfather, King Edward, he was a
prominent figure not only because he
is heir to the throne but because he is
highly popular.
A typical A~nglo-Saxon lad is Prince
Edward, now called the duke Of Corn
wall, and soon to be formally made
the prince of Wales. He Is fair haired,
blue eyed and sturdy Of limb; the pic
ture of health, strength and good tenn
per.
From babyhood he has been popu-
lar. His doings and sayings have
been chronicled, and half the mothers
of England put their sons into white
sailor suits like those chosen by the
princess of Wales for her son. Yet
admiration does not seem to have
spoiled him at all. He is still a frank,
simple English boy with a bright
smile, a pleasant manner and an in
fictitious laugh.
Not only is Prince Eddie a public
favorite but he is a hero in his W
family. His three small brothers and
one sister look forward to his holidays
as festive occasions. His father and
mother, King George and Queen Mary,
although they are rather strict with
their children as a rule, often relax
discipline for their oldest o and are
as proud Of him as any middle class
parents of their flrst-born.
Even at school Prince Edward Is
popular, and one has to be more than
a prince to be a favorite at an Eng
lish school. One has to be an all
round expert at games and sports, q
generous, open-handed good fellow
with plenty of courage and a love OF
fair play.
Prince Edward has always been a.
sportsman. He could ride his pony
when he was five and on his seventh

Miss Innes, spinster and guardian of
Gertrude and Halsey, established summer
headquarters at ~Sunnyside. Amidst nu-
merous difficulties the servants deserted.
AS Miss Innes locked up for the night,
she was startled by a dark figure on the
veranda. She passed a terrible night,
which was filed with unseemly noises.
In the morning Miss lines found a
strange link cuff button in a clothes
hamper. Gertrude and Halsey arrived
with Jack Bailey. The house was awak-'
ened by a revolver shot. "A strange man
was found shot to death, in the han.
II proved to be the body of Arnold Arm

ity in his reeking island jungles. He
has a tendency to do unexpected
things, as when he wanted to make
Alice Roosevelt sultana of Sulu.
The reason given for Kiram's
threatened visit out into the world is
his desire to superintend personally
the sale of his several casks of pearls
which his divers have brought up from
the blue depths of the Celebes sea,
They are valued at S250,000.
The sultan of Sulu is a young man,
but he gives the impression of know
Ing what he is about and just what
he wants. His head is rather large
and well-shaped. His skin is the color
of old copper that has been polished.
His eyes are well apart, but he has a
trick of dropping the lids that makes
him look sleepy and Indifferent. He
has a good, firm jaw and chin, with a
medium-sized straight nos
To keep him out of mischief, Hiram
has been permitted to continue be-
lieving himself immensely powerful.
When America took over the Philip
pines, there was an agreement with
the ruler of the Sulus. 1t was modelled
on the old Spanish treaty and guaran-
teed the Moros all the usual rites and
religious freedom. 1t provided that
the American flag be flown over the
islands; that America might occupy
any place it chose for military pur-
poses; that America would continue
the Sultan's pay for ruling his peo-
pie.

birthday King Edward gave him a
bicycle. Swimming lessons at the
Bath club came next, and a little later
cricket, football and boxing, and now
he is one of the first class cross-coun-
try runners of England.
Before he was ten he had handed
over his ordinary nursery toys to his
younger brothers and was giving all
the time he could spare from lessons
and exercises to a fleet of model BAT
tleships which had been given him by
his father. 1t was the time of the
Russian-Japanese war, and the young
prince with model guns, forts and
maps of the scene of the campaign
was following each move and fighting
mimic battles with his fleet Later
King George, anxious to encourage his
sons love of the sea, gave him a
large model brig. This is kept at Vtr-
ginia water in charge Of an old sailor.
A story is told of his early days at
Osborne which seem to prove that
the prince is not without commercial
instincts. He had written home to his
mother for extra pocket money, which
she refused to send, and so he wrote
a long letter to his grandmother beg
ging her to help him out. Queen Alex
andra wrote a long letter reproving
him for extravaganza.
To her surprise Prince Edward. who
hates letter writing like a normal
boy, Immediately answered her letter
and asked many questions. She an
swered them, only to receive another
letter from her grandson. At last the
truth came out that the prince was
selling the queens autograph letters
to his schoolmates for money to spend
at the tuckshop.
In his lessons Prince Edward does
not shine. II he were an ordinary lad
he would be called backward, except
In the few branches Of study which he
likes.
Love Of animals is a trait of all the
Wales children, as they were known
till very recently.

however, on one thing. If my suspic-
ions-for | had suspicions-were true,
l would make my own investigations,
and Mr.. Jameson should learn only
what was good for him to know.
We went back to the house, and
Gertrude, who was more like herself
since her talk with Halsey, sat down
at the mahogany desk in the living
room to write a letter. Halsey prowl-
ed up and down the entire east wing,
now in the cardroom. now in the bill
lizard room, and now and then blow
ing his clouds of tobacco smoke
among the pink and gold hangings of
the drawing room. After a little /
Joined him in the billiard room, and
together We went yer the details OF
the discovery of the body.
The cardroom was quite dark.
Where we sat, in the billiard room,
only one of the side brackets was
lighted, and we spoke in subdued
tones, as the hour and the subject
seemed to demand. When | spoke OF
the figure Liddy and / had seen on
the porch through the %cardroom win
dow Friday night, Halsey sauntered
into the darkened room, and together
we stood there, much as Liddy and /
had done that other night.
The window was the same grayish
rectangle in the blackness as before.
A few feet away in the hall was the
spot where the body of Arnold Arm
strong had been found. / was a bit
nervous, and / put my hand OF Hal
sey's sleeve. Suddenly. from the top
of the staircase above us came the
sound Of a cautious foOtstep. At first
l was not sure, but Halsey's attitude
told me he had heard and was listen
ing. The step, slow, measured, in
fihitely cautious, was ear now.
Halsey tried to loosen my fingers, but
/ was in a paralysis of fright.
The swish of a body against the
curving rail, as if for guidance, was
plain enough, and now whoever it was
had reached the foot of the staircase
and had caught a glimpse of our rigid
silhouettes against the billiard room
doorway. Halsey threw me of then
and strobe forward.

and took a half dozen rapid strides to-
ward the foot of the staircase. Then
/ heard him mutter something; there
was the crash of a falling body. the

instant, quiet. I screamed, ! think.
Then / remember turning on the
lights and finding Halsey, white with
fury, trying to untangle himself from

step of the stairs, and he was rather
a CHASTITY sight. He flung the white
object at me, and, jerking open the
outer door, raced into the darkness.
Gertrude had come on hearing the
noise, and now we stood, staring at
each other over-of all things on
earth-a white silk and wool blanket,
exquisitely fine! 1T was the most IN
ghostly thing in the world, with its
lavender border and its faint scent.
Gertrude was the first to speak.
'Somebody-had it?" she asked.
YES. Halsey tried to stop whoever
1t was and fell. Gertrude, that blank
ct is not mine. I have " seen it
before"
She held it up and looked at 1t; then
she went to the door on to the veran-
da and threw it open. Perhaps loo
feet from the house were two figures,
that moved slowly toward us as we
looked. When they came within range
of the light, l recognized Halsey, and
with him Mrs. Watson, the house
keeper.
The Tupelo journal., 1910-07-15

and bolt-Halsey's word, and a good
one-into the grounds-this made the
incident more than significant.
They moved slowly across the lawn
and up the steps. Halsey was talking
quietly, and Mrs. Watson was looking
down and listening. She was a woman
of a certain amount of dignity, most
efficient, so far as l could see, al.
though Liddy would have found fault
if she dared. But just now Mrs. Wat
sons face was an enigma. She was
defiant, l think, under her mask of
submission, and she still showed the
effect of v shock.
Mrs. Watson" 4 said severely,
twill you be SO good as to explain this
rather unusual occurrence"
Il don't think it SO unusual, Miss
lines" Her voice was deep and very
clear; but it was somewhat tremulous.
Il was taking a blanket down to
Thomas, who is-not well tonight,
and used this staircase, as being
nearer the path to the lodge. When
vested, and through an ugly stroy
Mr.. lines called and then rushed at
me, IL was alarmed, and flung the
blanket at him."
Halsey was examining the cut on
his forehead in a small mirror on
the wall. It was not much of an in
jury, but it had bled freely, and his
appearance was rather terrifying.
Thomas ill?" he said. over his
shoulder. why, ! thought l saw
Thomas out there as you made that
cyclonic break out Of the door and
over the porch"

But the man who did 1.-THE would
be known?"
Eyes, I tell you both, as sure as l
stand here, I believe that Paul Arm
strong looted his own bank. | believe
he has a million at least, as the re-
suit, and that he will never come
back. I'm worse than a pauper
now. | can't ask Louise to share
nothing a year with me, and when l
think of this disgrace for her, I'm
crazy"
The most ordinary events of life
seemed pregnant with possibilities that
day, and when Halsey was called to
the telephone, | ceased all pretense
at eating. When he anne back from
the telephone his face showed that
something had occurred. He waited
however, until Thomas left the din
ing room; then he told us.
Paul Armstrong is dead" he an
nounced gravely. He died this morn
ing in California. Whatever he did,
he is beyond the law now"
Gertrude turned pale.
"And the only man who could have
cleared Jack can never do it, she
said despairingly.
Also" l replied coldly, "Mr. Arm
strong is for ever beyond the power
of defending himself. When your
Jack comes to me, with some 100000
in his hands, which is about what
you have lost, l shall believe him in
n~ocent."

Where Housewives Buy Living Birds

Far up Hastings street, where long

the like Of which is not to be found

On a vacant corner. surrounded by
a high fence, an enterprising east
slider has established a goose and duck
market that attracts patrons from far
and near. The women Of the neigh

how they buy their poultry. The
guaranty Of freshness furnished by the
fact that a goose OF duck Is alive Is
not of SO much consequence 81 the
knowledge that feathers. which might
otherwise be wasted, can be trans
ferred to the ticks 30 much In vogue
In this quarter. Thus It comes that
on market day. which Is almost any
