JT The king received his. visitor j cordially and before many min utes had passed decorated him with the Air Force Cross, to add to ihe French legion of Honor and (he Belgian Insignia ot Knight of the Order of Leopold which Captain Lindbergh already wears. The honor conferred by the British sovereign ?eem?'A to stump the hero. He flushed and for a second hesitated but anoth er handshake from the king soon put him at his ease. Then they sat down, and Lindy told the king how it was done, talking In a most natural and ? n thusiastic manner. Tho king was enthusiast In loo. George V doesn't care much for flying him self?In fact lie bus never been in the air?but he Is a sportsman, and he Is a hero worshiper Just like everyone else when ho hears of a real heroic deed. His kindly eye* twinkled as the American boy related some of his experiences and he was seemingly much taken by Llndy's happy way of making his points clear. The king chuckled time and again at his visitor's IIv? animated niaiun r of relating certain incidents. The flier arrived ut Bucking ham Palace a few minutes ahead of schedule, coining from iKiwn fcjBK street, where he was received ?fty Premier Baldwin to whom also related some of the most lu ll vesting details of his Hi-lit and subsequent experiences, lie was presented To Mrs. Baldwin as-Well as Miss Betty.

His car. however, passed Into the courtyard almost un noticed. owing to the fact that so many motors were going through. When, however, he alighted at the privy- purse door and the American colors on the chauf feur's uniform were noticed, the spectators recognized him. There ?as cheer aftor cheer. Cheered and men oven raising their hats, while women and chil dren outside the yard 1 gates screamed themselves hoarse as the hero disappeared Into the king's household. Captain Lind bergh was attired in a dark worst ed pin striped suit for liIs aud imvee with tho king. :^BThe king and Counselor Stor "a were in morning dress. The' reception at the entranco was without formalities. Captain | Lindbergh and Mr Sterling being met by General Trotter, one of | the king's aides and escorted | through the corridor to the walt ' Ing room and thence to the king's ; private room on the first floor. Lindbergh was with the kinc Just 20 minutes, and it Is under-1 stood he did his sharo of talking, although his royal host showed much curiosity about some of his experience* and asked numerous questions. After taking leave of the king Lindbergh descended the stairs to the Equerry's room where he re mained for some time chatting with Mr Charlos Cust, the Equer ry. During their talk they ex changed autographs. Finally, glancing at his wrist watch. Lindbergh rorAarkod that It was about time he was due ai York flouse to visit the prince of Wales. A* he started to leave with Mr Sterling, he encountered tho baby Princess Eliza both, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York. This time, the airman, walking ?arross the Vestibule, took her lit tle hand and shook it. much to the delight of the nurse. Then ho . fitted tho Princess' cheek and ?Bucked her under the chin. ^fcAs he turned to go he was sur rounded by members of the pal a?-e household, nil eager for au tographs, .which he gave until his fountain pen ran dry.

Directing their atiK'T nartlcu larly against Sheriff lliers, who ordered the firing that dropped several members of their number, the mob hissed him repeatedly and cheered ilorislvly when men en tered a negro church near the J.iil and began ringing the bell.

A volley rung out; four men and a woman dropped and the crowd fell back. Men and women tumbled behind automo biles, trees and in doorways. Mrs. Lilly Kvunx, a bystander, was wounded.

When a second as sault appeared imminent, Sheriff lliers stopped the crowd long enough to bring representatives within to boc that the hunted man was not a prisoner. Five men were delegated by the crowd to accom pany the sheriff. They did not find Irvine; the man had been spirited away 21 hours earlier. Incensed now at the thought of their own wounded the mob paid no heed to th? five men's report that f?evirio was not within. Again the shouting was resumed: It sw< i-t to fever pitch when an un confirmed report spread .1. Or gan lniii been killed. The Infor mation. profanely given, that V.
