A very young person meets a little
test Of character in very big way.

IT'S THERE something
more interesting 60
ing on outside than
there is in the class
room, Lucy?"
Lucy jerked her round gray
eyes away from their long
contemplation of the prairie.
The prairie she hated and
feared so. Where the wind
never stopped blowing and
people dried up and blew
away or else rode into the dis
tant purple haze and were
swallowed up. You never
caught up with the edges of
it. And things disappeared
on its rim.
The teachers voice fell on
her drumming ears and her
cheeks felt like flames as she
met the concentrated stare
of the entire fourth grade.
She shook her head dumbly.
She didn't dare speak. She
might cry. And one doesn't
Gy in public when one is
nine years old. For a long
moment her cheeks burned
furiously and then she
dropped her ashes to her
round cheeks to hide the sud-
den t. tale tears. How long
had they been watching her:
After a moment Miss Will
sons voice, a shade gentler
and wrapped around with a
little compassionate smile,
went ON:
1T is a nice day outside,
Lucy. Well be having recess
in half an hour, but in the
meantime try a little harder
to pay attention to what is
going on in the class"
Yes. yes, Miss Wilson.
One stubby finger traced the
outline of a carefully stitched
patch in the checked gmgham
dress.

Scepters for Queen.
The most precious stone in the
in the last three coronations has
been worn by the Queen consort and
not by the sovereign himself. Her
majesty also has an orb, not SO bril-
liant as that of the King. Like the
Kings, it is made Of gold and is set
with sapphires, emeralds, diamonds
and rubies At different times dur
ing the ceremony the Queen is hand
ed gold scepter surmounted by
cross an ivory rod and finally a
gold scepter surmounted by dove.
Each of these rods is mounted heav-
lily in jewels.
All this immense collection of gold
and jewelry is usually kept in the
Tower of London in small room,
which can be visited by any one
who pays shilling for admission.
There is not much chance that the
crown jewels will ever be stolen, be-
cause adequate arrangements exist
for their guard It is not so certain,
however, that they are quite as well
protected from fire.
The Tower of London was built by
William the Conqueror in the elev-
enth century and is still very much
as it was then Modern flre-fighting
appliances would be difficult to install
in any degree of completeness. In
the middle of the last century the
regalia very nearly did get destroyed.
An overheated f1ue started a fire in
the Tower, and the flames destroyed
the old armory not far from where the
jewels were kept.
Some Wrappings Singed.
The regalia were rescued by
policeman who broke through the
iron lattice work behind which they
we're kept and handed the articles
out one by one The fire was so close
to the valuables that some of the
Wrappings were singed.
The objects described above are
strictly coronation regalia and do
not include the immense amount Of
gold plate belonging to the crown,
which is usually kept at Windsor Cas-
tie and at Buckingham Palace. This
plate, which is made up Of solid gold
plates, dishes, beakers. cups of all
kinds, etc, is valued at over 10000
900 and is said to contain tons Of
solid gold.

In the four weeks since the COM
mittee appealed for offers of accom-
mediation for coronation visitors in
London and Greater London, every
mail has brought thousands of letters,
post cards and kilograms submitting
particulars of rooms and furnished
apartments to let.
Now, with more than ample accom-
modation available, the committee is
appealing to those who intend coming
| to London for the coronation to write
to it Immediately. It Is emphasized
that early application for rooms is
most desirable and there is certain to
be last-minute rush for accommo-
| dation. American visitors are, there

tee now and not leave the question Of
their reservations until their arrival
