Dignified as be- comes his high position, courageous as he proved on the battlefield, it is, efter all, his quiet sympathy and con- sideration that has won Canada's homage.

He revels in akes no attempt to keep hidden his joy at their dcclaim. And again he always gives {hem of his very best. He may forget the set ceremony of many a well-prepared function, but he will never forget the shouts of the thousands who surged and swept and swirled around his auto at the Exhibition grounds at To- ronto, or the breezy bonhomie with which the habitants of St. Anne de Beaupre crowded forward to shake his hand, or the bouquet of flowers which the old womar. on the road t» Quebec threw at him as he flashed by. The Prince will leave Canada, his mind etill reeling from the barrage of addresses and social functions, but with his memory stored with intimate little touches when people showed that, while they hailed him as their future lord, they looked on him as one of themselves. A Quebec Incident. A significant incident in connection with the visit of the Prince occurred at Quebec. Among the throng stood an old man and a young man.

He saluted as only a Frenchman can. / "My Prince!" cried the lad, his voice shrill; with excitement. "Our Prince," corrected the grand father, his voice tremulous with feel ing. "Prince of our people!" This Happened in Toronto. He was a cugly-haired, red-headed, blue-eyed, freckle-faced boy--hatless and stockingless--but He knew a "real feller" when he saw him, and Prince Edward was his hero. The Royal auto was moving slowly along the streets of North Toronto, And the boy ran alongside, his eyes glowing. Every few yards he shouted a hurrah. For nearly half a mile, dodg- ing among the crowds, he kept pace with the car that bore his hero. Then, breathless and tired, he waved his farewell. But the Prince had spotted him. The auto stopped till youth--Royalty and| twin commoner--had shaken hands. Ed- ward made a hurried exploration of his pockets, evidently hunting a squ- venir. None other seemed handy, so the Prince tossed the boy hia silver cigarette case. The boy grinned delightedly and waved big thanks, as he clasped the gift--probably destined: to become the cherished heirloom of future genera- Yor "tions.

Raa Not the least -antongst the gracious acts performed by the Prince a. 50 of Wales during his brief stay in Ot- tawa was to invest in a 'complete cer tificate of War Savings Stamps. His Royal Highness was delighted to find that in Canada, War Savings Stamps are on sale similar to those that are so popular in England. It was his in- tention to call at the post office and make Ris purchase of the stamps in $0} the regular manner, during his stroll around Ottawa incognito, but pres- sure of other engagements prevented this being done. The stamps' were therefore sent to him At Government House and the sale, duly made, in cash, by the Secretary of the National War Savings Committee. The Prince was quite willing that his investmen should be made known and kindl sent the following letter, with per- mission to publish it, to Sir-Herbert 'B. Ames, Chairman-of the National 'War Savings Committee: Government House, Ottawa. 1st September, 1919. "Dear Sir Herbert,-- "I am pleased to be the holder of a Canadian War Savings Certificate.
