London, Sept. 20. --The king charms everybody by his gracions ways while on: the continent and comes back with Bew triumphs in diplomacy. Many stories are told of his tact and good sense, among them the following : King Kdward has probably enjoyed nearly nearly every experience. that falls to the Jot of man. There is yan emotion in, the whole ga- mut that has not, at some time or other, fallen to his share. He has just a new sensation to his lon catalogue--that of saving a life. few days ago while toiling up hill on their. laborious walk which is always prescribed by Dr. Ott for those pati- ents capable of the task, his atten- tions were arrested by the movements of a little girl who was riding a bicy- cle. The machine scemied to have got of control, and it came rapidly irbagis his majesty, making pace with every) yard. - At the 4oot of the hill was a sharp turning, 'at the other side of which reared a high wall The dreaded result sceined inevitable. Rap- idly the machine whirled on, and at last. reached the king. Quick as thought he thrust his walking stick between the spokes of the front wheel, bringing the cycle to a sudden stop and catching the 'child before she fell" to tho ground. 'Then the King asked the little girl many solicitous questions but, beyond "the fright and a slight shaking," shy appeared to have escap- ed unscathed.

Visitors to the fash- ionable spa were astonished one morn- ing by finding divers placards attach- ed to trees and other places instruct: ing them not to worry his majesty in his walks abroad hy following him closely or unduly staring at him. They were equally astonished next day at finding that ' the whole of this printed matter had disappeared as my- steriously as it came. The cause has just leaked out. The well-me ning bur- gomaster who was onsible for the innovation, was suddenly surprised by seeing his -majesty's carriage draw up and stop before his office entrance, and the next moment the kine enter "Come Burgomaster," said his majesty, "it is very good of you to look so closely after my comfort, hut I can't allow mv comfort to be guarded at the cost of mv reputation. people will take me for a tyr ant," he said smilingly, "and, after all, I do not obiect to their Kindly in terest in me, but, on the contrary. ap- preciate it." With a genial handshake the king left the burgomaster and drove away, and in an hour the walls and trees were being stripped of the notices. : By His Collins Bay Notes.
