the Royal ];'amity, and they were vie -
haps on this 'account specially prized
by f ween 'Alexandra. ' ' ' •
The late Mr. Philmont Morgan 'is
paid to have offered, $250,000 for them
in.the late - reign; but, of course, that
Pifer was not made directly to King

• .His Majesty'had 'it' sent up every
morning on his .`breakfast -tray, and
even, when he went to the• house of a
'friend thisamascot .was among pthe. ar-
' tides 'always taken with the monarch,'
It appearej} on his breakfast -tray when
it was sent up to' his room on the very`
noriii'ng of the;.day he died, , and the
• dying King said to the. servant: ."I"
am glad you have not forgotten • niy
mascot. ° I shall never see it again."'.'
'But the `treasure -vault contains • but•
