His 'Majesty the King had an, amusing experience while driving in his motor-car in Norfolk not long ago. He was stopped by a very young .policeman, who informed the driver that he was going too fast. The latter was rather indignant. "Don't you know whom I'm driving V 'he said. "It's the King." "Get along with your nonsense," replied the policeman. " That's the four-th King who's passed me this morning." The incredulous guardian of the peace thereupon insisted 1 on riding » short distance on the box <to see that this injunctions wene obeyed. His face grew bluer and bluer as the short distance was protracted into a long distance, and that into a longer one still, till -at last lie found himself landed at Sandringhani.
