he had married an Amer- ican girl, the captain's lather, Earl o1 Dorlncourt, who hated America and all things American, had dis- owned him. The captain, thereupon, had sold his commission in the Army, had come to America, ﬁnally found a situation, and then, while his son was still a. little boy, nad

died.

Little Cedric missed his father. but knew in his manly heart that he must do what he could to make his mother happy. So he and "Dearest," as he called her, often walked and read together, and Mary in the kit- chen oi their unpretentious home ln New York, would hear Mrs. Errol laughing at the quaint things her son said. *

Though he had triends among the neighbor boys) Cedrids most admired companion was Mr. Hobbs, and it was irom Mr. Hobbs that he learned to take interest in politics and world aﬂsirs.

The grocers sweeping attack on the peerage stirred the boy.

“Perhaps they wouldntbc earls ii they lknew any better," he said.

"Wouldn't they!" said Mr. Hobbs. "They glory in it. They're a cad

Just then Mary appeared. ."Come home, darlinﬁ" she said. The boy was surprised at the way Mary looked at him, but said good bye to Mr. Hobbs and left. At ﬁrst he thought his mother must be ill, but Mary said it was not that. "Theres strange things happenin’ to us," was her only explanation. A coupe stood before the door of the Errols’ home and in the parlor was s. tall thin old gentleman, while Cedric! mother stood by with tears in her eyes. “Ohl Ceddie, darling!" she cried. The old gentleman looked at Ced- ric with his sharp eyes. He seemqd not at all displeased. “And so." he said at last slowly,- “md so this is little Inrd Fauntle-

There was never a more amused little boy than Cedric in the week that followed. His grandfather. whom he had never been, was an Iia-ri the lhrrs two eldest sons, who had lived wild lives and were cor- dially detested by their lather, had and now Cedric, the mly des-

em cendlnt left, would be an ml some m. m- u» t m was mm Pauntleroy.

All this news was revealed by Mr. Havisham, the thin gentleman, who was the old Earles lawyer, and Cedric could not imagine what Mr. Hobbs would think of it. He won- dered how to break the news. Bit- tlng on a cracker box a day or so after Cedric gathered all strength of mind.

“You remember you said you wouldn't have earls slttin’ ‘round on your cracker barrels?" he ventured. "Bo I did!" returned the grocer stoutly. "Let ‘em try-that's all." “Mr. Hobbs," said Cedric, “one l8 sitting on this box bowl" “Whatl" exclaimed the grocer. So Cedric told his story and Mr. Hobbs was not so ranoorous as ex- pected, and said that he would miss the boy when he went to England. Mr. Havlshman and Mrs. Errol had a great many things to ar- range. The lawyer told her frankly that the Earl was not friendly to her and that his prejudices were very strong. I-le even refused to see the widow o; his son. The Earl, he went on, planned to have lord Fauntleroy live chieﬂy with him at Dorlncourt Castle and offered Mrs. Errol as her name, Court lodge, situated near by. An ample income would be settled on

er. “Lord Fauntleroy will be penult- ted to visit you,” Mr. I-lavishman went on "the only stipulation is that you shall not visit him or cuter the park gates.” The lawyer uneasily felt that she might cry and make asoenc, but she

did not. "Captain Errol was very toad o! Dorincourt," she said. "He would wish that his son should be brought up in such a way as would be sult- lblg to his position." \ She agreed to the Earl's plan and Mr. Ilavlahmm was impressed by her making no terms for herself. "I hope his grsncliather will love Ceddle." she said. "The little boy has a very ancctlcnat, ‘ and he has always been loved." "He seems to be l. very mature little fellow." acid the lawyer. "Ba la the best bred and the handsom- est little tnllow I ever any," be thought. The lawyer than told Cedric and hia mother that the Iiarl was anx- ious to have the boy rel-lilo his pori- tion and had sent money for hia grandson to do whatever he wanted

Prime" Minister In Empire Day Speech

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

UITAWA, May ali-Tha world today "is moved by iorcc and fear in a way hitherto unknown," said Prime Minister R. B. Bennett in an Empire-Day speech here to- day, "It is true that millions are animated by motives of suspicion and hatred. By what agency can the hand of friendship and cnn- fldebce be extended lo them it not by the British Empire?"

The Prime Minister spoke to the people of the British Empire in a broadcast arranged by the Can- adian Radio Commission and picked up by the British Broad- casting Corporation. His speech took the form o! an Empire Day message, and he referred at the outset to the fact that the birth» day "of the great Queen Victoria" has become an imperial holiday. "I have Just returned from Lon- don where I was privileged to represent Canada at the Silver Jubilee Celebrations of the access- ion of our Sovereign to the ‘Iihrone of his fathers." continued Mr. Ben- nett. "In the heart of the Bnpire n. magnificent demonstration oi loyalty was on that occasion tobe expected, but the spontaneous out- pouring of attection that. was fhell witnessed is beyond the power of the imagination to conceive."
