SCHOOL BRITISH WHIG THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1920. | Notre Dame Convent. { : 3 The Falcon of Ser Federigo. Ser Federigo was sitting in his cottage door, lost in a sad reverie. He was thinking as he gazed at the lofty castle, not far distant, of the days when he was master of it, but, through misfortune his possessions are now few. The only one treasure of former days is his falcon, who al- so seems in deep thought. The sad reverie was of Monna Gio- vanna, This was the lady Ser Fede- rigo loved, and,-had misfortune not 'visited he would have made her his bride, To his, surprise a boy with golden - hair, bright blue eyes and about the age of ten came to him. The child's face resembled that of the lady whom he was thinking of. The child asked to be allowed to play with the falcon. He said that he had often seen the bird fluttering around the cottage, and, as he was very fond of birds determined to make friends with ft. "Who is your mother,'" Ser Fede- rigo asked. 'Monna Giovanna," answered the boy. . Ser Federigo made no_reply to this but sad thoughts of former days again came back to him. This was Monna Giovanna's -son, she was a widow and was spending the sum- mer very near the cottage. The boy made daily visits to the cottage to play with the falcon. Each day Ser Federigo became more at- tached to him. For some days the boy did not visit the cottage. He wa very ill at the castle, nothing could be done for him. His mother, nearly distracted with grief, begged him to ask forjanything that she, could get that would amuse him. He only ask- 'ed for Ser Federigo's falcon. This above all things was very hard as she, too, remembered former days. The falcon, also, was renowned and she knew that it would be very hard for Ser Federigo to part with it. One bright morning Monna Giovanna with a companion entered the woods, which led to Ser Federigo's cottage. After a very cordial greeting, Mon- na Giovanna said, "Putting all pride aside I am a self invited guest.' I have come to test your generous nature, but, first I am going to breakfast with you: Ser Federigo went into his cottage and searched all his cup- boards for food, but could fimd noth- ing but bread and wine. At once an intense longing for the goods of for- mer .days took possession of him. Asking his one maid for some meat, she told him that there was none in the house. The falcon at once tingled the tiny silver bell, which hung on his neck, as much as to say, "I am ready. to help." Ser Federigo looked at the bird. It was to kill his one treasure, to pro- vide a dainty repast for the lady. He did so. Breakfast was soon over and Monna Giovanna asked for the fal- con. 'Alas dear lady the falcon made our repast. Had you only spoken sooner the falcon would have heen yours and the boy would have been saved," said Ser JFederigo sorrowful- ly. The lady soon departed. In a few days as Ser Federigo sat thinking of his last guests he heard a bell tolling very slowly. He guess- ed rightly, the boy was dead. Again at Ohristmas time the chapel bell rang, not sadly, but joyfully. Ser Fe- derigo and Monna Giovanna were married at the castle.--Genevieve Pelow, Form I. ' Queen Victoria. When Victoria was only a little girl, it was almost certain that she would become Queen of Great Brit- ain. Her father, the Duke of Kent, died when she was only a few months old, and her mother was determined 'that she should see very little of court life, although her whole train- ing was conducted with the object of fitting her for the position she would be called on to fill. y One day Queen Victoria was study- ing her:history. She came to William IV. and wondered 'who uld succeed him. After a careful tay she found odt that she was the one who would succeed. + an Victoria was only eighteen years old when Willlam IV. died, but she had a very good educatio and was highly accomplished. Three years after her accession, she married her cousin, Prince Albert. The people were well satisfied with her mar~ riage,but some feared that the Prince would interfere with the laws of the country. On the contrary,' he prov- ed a great help to the Queen. Queen Victoria gned for sixty-four years, She died in January, 1901, at Os- chasod the house formerly owned by Henjamin. Scott. George Robinson and family are now installed in their recently-acquired property, corner of Wiltse and Elgin streets. on the Isle of Wight.--Cecila Burke, Form 1, "Glaciers. A very long time ago the nor:hern parts of Europe and Norik America were. covered by a grefit mass of ice similar to that now found covering the most of Greenland. This great mass is known as a glacier. The ice of glaciers is. formed by the accumulation of snow, which, for many pears, has been packed, into a solid mass by its own weight. Glaclers are not stationary, but move slowly over the land, scraping and scratching it as they go. Large rocks are picked up and carried away, while small rocks are 'rubbed together and ground into pleces. The hilltops have been rounded by the glaciers, and as the ice meited it left deposits scattered irregularly over the land, particularly in the river valleys. : Moraines were formed by the ice melting at one place for a consider- able time. Great masses of detritus of all Kinds were left. This formed an irregular ridge known as .-a ter- minal moraine. A band of old mor- aines are still to be seen in Central Ontario. Lakes and waterfalls are also due to the work of glaciers. As the glaci- ers ware away the rivers began to flow. These gradually deepened their channels, cutting down in many places to hard rocks lying below a thin accumulation of glacial deposit. At such points waterfalls were form- ed { The detritus left by glaciers as it Felted formed very rich soil, because is made up of so many kinds of rocks. In places the glaciers moved over very hard rocks, forming bold- ers. Glaciers have 'done much import- ant and necessary work. These points _ show only a few of the many wonder- ful things they have done. --Mary Walsh, Form I. ------ Bowser. ' Bowser is only a horse, but he knows how to behave when he wears his Sunday suit. That is more than some children know. There are lit- tle ones who make mud pies when they have on their best clothes. Bowser never does. Bowser drags a cart on week days; on Sunday he goes to church with a buggy. When John puts the heavy harness upon Bowser the horse goes to the cart and backs in. When he is dressed in nice buggy harness he steps off proudly and gets into the shafts of the buggy. He does this all alone. He never makes a mistake. One day Bowser had a set of new shoes. When the blacksmith put them on, he drove a nail into one of Bowser's feet. ' John did not notice it Jintil they were almost home. en he saw that Bowser limped a little he said, "I must lead the poor fellow back, when I get him out of this cart." : They reached home, and: John took off Bowser's harness. As soon as he was f he turned about and trotted--off. en John called him, he, did not mind. He went straight back to the black- smith, 4 "Hello, Bowser !"" cried the black- smith. The poor horse said nothing, but he walked up to the man and held out his aching foot. Then the black- smith put the shoe on all right, and he patted Bowser kindly and said, "You know a great deal for a horse." ---Marie Johnston, Form I. Ta -- The Witch-Hazel. . One cold December morning: as I was driving along the edge of the woods to school I noticed a yellow shrub. I persuaded my brother to stop the horse till I went over to see what it was. When I got to where it was I found it to be a sub about eight or ten feet in height. The leaves had fallen off it, and nothing was left but the leafless stems cover- ed with tiny yellow flowers. The flowers themselves wera rather starved and 'stunted looking, as if they had mistrusted the December winds. I looked at it very clisely but could not tell what it was. I could not think of any plant biqoming in Ng tbe wicds in December. A: last I got the shrub broken off and took it to my brother. After his examining it very closely, he informs«-l me that it wad the witch-hazcl shrub, which, Lo said, was a real winter plant.

As the year advances, the clover || blossoms disappear, and the spring fades away into summer. He gradu- ally gives up his habits and doffs his poetical suit of black. His note is no longer vibrant on the ear. He is stuffing himself with the seeds of the tall weeds on which he swings and chants se melodiously.
