was just at this time when William had
acquired the careless confidence Of a

rudely eradicated a relative of Williams,
and William came over TO England to
discuss the matter with his best and
most accomplished troops

estates among his Norman henchmen- He

William, fhe Conqueror
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of AT Good Old SiWash-S

-nLIAM the Conqueror lived
w almost nine hundred years ago
w so long that his descendants have
disappeared and have been forgotten.
But William the ConquerOr is still a very
important parsonage, and school children
speak of him with great familiarity.
This is because William was the last man
who conquered England
ConqueTing England has not been
very popular pastime for many centuries
A few rash warriors have tackled the job
at various times, bnt most of them have
gone home in ice and the rest under an
assumed name. In spite Of the vast IL
feeling which has existed against England
in many quarters from the 18th century
on, she has remained persistently and
even mulishIy unconquered. Today there
are eminent monarehs who would give
a boat load of $40 bills to William If he
would only return for a few minutes and
explain how heidi the trick
William was born in Normandy IN 1927,
and eight years later his father, who
owned the country but had not been
able to make it pay, died and left 1t to
his young son. William thus became
Duke, and the duke business was very
arduous IN those days What with de-
feating enemies, graduating rebels and
lodging food which had a great worse
than ptomaine poison IN II, William had
no time for recreation and before he was
fifteen he was earewOrn and prema5urely
