To _Alice it was a morrient of deep
curiosity, followed by intense surprise.
Her mother had confessed to an an-
cient admiration on the part of Mr.
Gaunt, but the confession had left
something out, something significant.
Alice cast ba.ck a mental eye. No,
there had never been any would-be
lovers, scarcely any admirers, even,
during her mother's long widowhood.
Was it the memory of this man who
had kept them away?

THE ROYAL
GAME
A s, e sportsman, the Xing has al
ways Shown a Preference for tbree
four pastimes. above all ethers,. As an
ctive participant in sport, his favor..
ties have been racing, yaeliting, sheet-
ieg and fishing. He bag also bunted
occasionally, and,hass always been fond
cif riding as an exercise,
But the Mug- as a sportsman te" bete

people by his, love fee, and patronage
of, football, He has. also atone liking

the, past fifteen years or so lie beta de-
veloped a great love of football, .
Some time ago the Writer Was talk

when the topic of football arose dad
the Mug's, love for'it was mention.ed,

tereSt."
This is perfectly true, as the writer's
observations, of King George at Twick-
enham, Richinond, and elsewhere have
often proved. Th.ecre are ,certain Rug-
by matches every year which the King
• never fails to attend if at all passible.
Amongst these are the Internationals!.
Army" 'Ir. Navy; Oxford y. Canibpdget
and Sandhurst v. Woolwich..
The King also always tries to 'attend,
-the Fin* for the Association Cup, and
occasionally the Varsity Soccer Match,.
whilst now and then, .when he is. free
on the day,"ho makes his . way to th.e
Chelsea grotuid, or the .enclosuee of
.some other London Soccer club.'
What They: Forgot.

the members of bath teams had been ,
introclaced. to the King, the cadets
were all -very excited on going back •
-to the dressing -roam to prepare for. '•
the fray, so •much so that they cants
out and took their places. on the field,
with the referee ready to blow hie
-whistle for the start and a forward
waiting to kick-off, when shrieks, of ,
laughter arose from all parts of the
