Early on June morning seventy


six years ago there went furiously
through road leading to the west
ern part of London, four horses draw
ing a landau that bore the insignia
[of royalty. Within were two men.
Drawing up before the palace of
Kensington, the men ran in haste to
the entrance and pulled the bell.
They knocked and rang for several
minutes before the door was opened
by a sleepy maid.
"We wish to see the princess" said
! After several minutes the maid re-
turned and replied that the princess
lis enjoying a sweet sleep and can
not be disturbed" as it was but five
O'Clock in the morning. The men an
swered that they were on state bust
ness and that everything must give
way to it, even sleep.
Presently a fair young girl with a
startled look in her eyes appeared,
wrapped in her dressing gown, her
golden: hair falling over both should
ers. When she saw the men and the
serious look upon their faces, and
even before they saluted her, she
knew that her. uncle was dead and
that she was queen of England. 49,.
Thus began the long and glorious
reign of Queen Victoria, and then be-
gan also the renown of Buckingham
Palace, to which the young Queen
removed, as the London home of the
reigning sovereign. For up to that
time Buckingham Palace had served
but as temporary stopping place
for the king. It was built by the
Duke of Buckingham in 1903 and
purchased by King George III. in
1851 and occasionally occupied by
him; George w. had it remodeled by
Nash in 1925; but it remained empty
until 1897, when the young Queen
came there to live. It is large

west end Of St.. James's park. The

people who read books. in this coun-

at present is to the realistic novel
