Duke Of Westminster. He said he told
his representatives that if ever the
painting came on the market he wanted
it, Last month the long-seught oppor-
tunity presented itself. It was then
announced that Sir Joseph Duveen had
bought "The Blue Boy" together with
Reynoldss "Mrs. siddons as the Tragic

the oldest inhabitant. The leaves were
knocked off of the trees. the young
cotton and corn was pulverized, and
the ground itself was packed hard by
the pounding stones. The combination
roofing on some of the houses was
beaten to pieces and every window
pane in the little town of Prentice was
broken to pieces.
