Bafaner in Henry VII's Chapel--Historic Set ting for the Kingston Colors. Writing from London, Eng., to the Toronto Telegram, Douglas S. Rob- ertson says: Its silken folds draped against the delicate bronze grill-work that sur. rounds the tamb of the Royal found- er, the flag of the Kingston Battery of the Canadian artillery is now the centre of. attraction in King Henry Vil's chapel, Westminster Abbey Just behind the high altar rests the regimental banner. And here in this ancient sanctuary, this hallowed shrine-of the-empire the -banner-witi 'be guarded till Canada's sons return from the war In the twilight that filters through stained glass and dim old lozenge. shaped panes, the writer stood jin this beautiful chapel this morning. Over head, wrought in stone; sixty feet above the marble floor, is that arched roof, whose fairy tracery is the chief glory of the place All around in the little side chapels lie effigies of Royal dead, moulded in bronze, carved in iVory-like alabaster. on a block of Queen of Scots, in feature, her long slender hands folded in prayer, lies MaPgaret Beau- fort, mother of Henry Vil. Her good deeds life after. After four centur fes this queen's bounty is still en- poyed, and every Saturday morning | forty old women just as she had de | creed---receive each a gift of a loaf the | of bread, a piece of meat and two | pence. Fighting to Save it, "KIDS MADE A RAID, Soldiers ers in the Cereal Building . ,1t soldiers caps will m-ke a sol dier, Kingston has aimost enough youngsters wearing them om Ontaii» street near the Cereal Building where the left half of the 21st Ba: talion was quartered, tp form an- other régiment. Oa Friday morn ing some dozen or more little urchins were seen by a Whig reporter parad- ing along the street wearing th: caps which has been left behind by the soldiers. On Thursday night a regular raid was made on the Cereal building by the kids. Quite an amount of boory was secured including footbalis, watches and ethef™ articles. Op. youngster found an excellent silv wateh which was still ticking whea he came across it. It was. likiy forgotten by one of the soldiers in his hurry to get away.

"We'll guard it faithfully till your gunners come back to claim it. You know you, too, | among other things, are fighting to protect this grand old eathedral f {the Huns." In stately company is the Cana- dian battle flag. It rests in that posi- {tion of Henry's sanctuary known as the chapel of the Knights of the Bath. A blaze of color----reds, blues, 'orange and green, black :and white, in strange heraldic devices--the ban- ners of the knights hang 'down each side of the sanctuary, their to) stalls are carved oak black with the centur- !ies. Surmounting the lofty back to each seat is a miniature sword and the helmet of the occupant, bearing the colored crest--a swan, a mailed bast, a boar's head, or the like--which | distinguishes {the battlefield. One stall at the end stands apart from the rest. The helmet above it tig crested with the golden tion of { England, and a huge banner the im- posing emblazonry of the United | Kingdom. That is the King's seat. 1 Opposite it, in the rows of stalls fac- medieval knights on | ing, the end seal, too, bears the Roy- | al emblems. As Grand Master of the order, the Duke of Connaught, Can. ada's Governor-General, sits there on | state occasions. Great soldiers have sat in those historic chairs. Here the Duke of | Wellington's armorial bearings are | blazoned on the ancient woorwork and over an adjacent stall hangs the banner of Lord Roberts. { Thus, in the age-old Abbey, amid | the effigies of crusading knights and the tombs of great statesmen and | dauntless warriors, the Canadian col- ors rest. + | Presented With Signet Ring. | Capt.
