Now that the Prince of Wales is in England once more many new stories, brought hack by members of his suite, are being circulated concerning him. One of the best refers to an incident in Australia. The Prince was taking an early morning gallop alone, when he had some trouble with his saddle, and dismounted. An Australian boundary rider happened to pass, and seeing a stranger in difficulties lent a hand. The girths adjusted, the Prince thanked the Aussie cordially for his help. The Aussie recognised the English accent, and asked the Prince whom lie might he. “I am the Prince of Wales,” was the answer. “Huh!” said the Aussie, who thought his leg was being pulled. “Are you? Well, I’m his father!” lie rode away. The next day • says “Pearson’s Weekly”) the Prince saw at a reception his friend the boundary rider. Pushing his way through the crowd, lie seized liim by the hand. “Hullo, dad-” he said.
