had time to swallow a cup Of coffee the
Queen made him drink to keep OF the
headache, before he had to hurry out
and take hts place Mt tho head Of the
pageant which was waiting Impaticntly
outside.
Now, Just as the King stepped hur-

big toa against a stone. Oh, how It did
hurt: for his feet were soft and tender
from walking on green velvet carpets
Ill the time. And he yelled Ouch:

strong. powerfully built Manxwoman
stood throwing up the straw to the
stack. using her fork as deity and
quickly as farm laborcr.

woman" the Grand Old Man IL re-
ported to have said graciously. but
you look well and strong. May ! ask
how old you are7"
