Interesting Side Lights From
Lives of Famous People

of England showed that independ-
ence of character which made her
reign so remarkable. She and her
stepbrother, Edward, played together
as children. But when they grew
older they were separated and the
lonely boy missed the companion
ship of his sweet sister. Temper
ance," as he called her.
Two years after becoming King.
when he was only II years old, he
saved Elizabeth's life. One day
when the Thames River was run
ming high, the young princess in
sisted on mounting her brothers
horse. The horse dashed through
the open gate toward the river and
leaped over the palace wall into
the water. Startled by the commo-
tion, young Edward jumped into
the saddle of another mount and
followed her into the river. Eliza
beth tried to reach his horse, but
failed and sank. Edward dived
after her. Taking hold of his own
horse, he induced him to swim with
them while he supported Elizabeth.
At last, the three reached the
bank safely.
