Little Richard
A Story of the Long Ago
By MARY MARSHALL.

Little Richard was only years old
when his father, the Duke of Nor
mandy, died and left him to inherit
all his great realms and power. So
instead of being a care-free lad who
might some day become duke he was
in very deed the duke already and
had to sit at the head of the table
in the great dining-naI1 and spend
hours every day in his heavy suit of
armor on his little horse, learning how
to be a brave warrior.
One day a band of horsemen came
riding from Loan. where the king of
France lived, inviting the little duke
| to Gomez and visit him.
His majesty begs the young duke
of Normandy to pay him a visit said
the leader of the French horsemcn.
A very kind invitation, indeed,
thought the chamberlain of the duke.
and one well worth accepting. So in
a few days Richard started out to
Loan. which was some hundred miles
journey. with 4 goodly band of Nor
mans. tall, straight. fair-haired Nor
mans, who were ever SO much better
riders and finer looking than the little
retinue of the king of France. AS
they journeyed on. stopping for rest
and refreshment at the castles on the
way, Richard began to think that it
wasn't half bad to go visiting. Final
ly, after several days, the Normans
reached Loan, the city of the French
king.
A fair sight it must have been to
see the little duke riding into the
walled town, up its narrow streets to
the old castle. Before him rode his
tallest, bravest knights, bearing his
banners. which loated over their
heads as they rode along. Then came
the little duke, in full armor. looking
like a warrior in miniature, and SO
erect on his little charger that the
good people of Loan, standing on their
doorsteps to watch him pass, clapped
their hands and cheered 10 see him.
After him rode Oswald, Richards
faithful servant Oswald.
Next came a company Of Normans
in glittering array on the fairest of
Norman horses, whose gay trappings
fairly made the people of Loan gasp.
The king of France rode down from
his castle to meet the duke With a
few brightly dressed courriers. The
king smiled fondly at the child and
greeted him with a great show of af-
fection.
Up to the castle the king led the

The wild thought that he might have
such an encounter in the civilized
North sea flashed across his mind as
he swung himself over the dripping

Douglas and the group of coast
guards.
When Douglas had taken his sound

the gun with a lantern. The pickering
light revealed the weapon-a sheet
iron shield from which projected the
end of a large hose pipe.

"whew!" whistled Douglas. THAT
would have been uncomfortable.
But it was the trawlmaster for
whom things ultimately proved un-
comfortable.

him; he stared for a long time at tho

crossed the dyke. Mackay and I held
our breath and waited.
Suddenly Van Hook made up his

perfectly unconscious of his danger.
He came still nearer. and presently he
stood only a few feet from us.
Now was our time. and We sprang
out of our hiding place with a yell.
Van Hook leaped half a foot into the
air in mortal terror; he let go of his
sleigh and tried to dash between US
and the dyke, but We were close upon
him. one on each side, and Mackay
stretched out his arm to grab him.
Van Hook made a wild rush for the
dyke.

But it was too late. Over he went.
There was a crash-a scream-a wild
splashing-and then only q dark hole
in the middle of the dyke, and an aw-

Somehow we found ourselves on the
dyke. and the next moment We were
gasping in the freezing water. strug-
Cling for our lives.
Then something came up out OF the
water close to us. We caught at 1t.
1t was Van Hook. His white face was
contorted with fear. he was choking.
and we tried to hold him up. but he
was heavy, and the ice, wherever we
clutched. gave way. and there was
nothing to help us.
We were going down-and the cold
was appalling.

How we drlfted to the edge Of the

Mackay's ankle got worse and worse,
and Van Hooks long legs kept giving

And never again did We race with

The deep dykes that cross the Flem-
ish marshes are very dangerous to
skaters, and are over fifteen feet in
depth. so the ice over them is exceed
ingly thin, while on each side
stretches the thick ice of the shallow
marshes.
Van Hook was trying desperately to
find a safe crossing. He could see us
coming nearer. and. like a hunted
hare. he dashed wildly backward and
forward at the edge of the dyke. not
daring to put a foot upon it.
