To seek adventures unguar,led and alone save perhaps for a single com- panion, is one of Ihe pleasures of his lite, and his escapades, in Ibis direction, although they tiave given many anxious moments lo his friends in Madrid, have made him idolized by his people. Dur- ing his recent slay in England he found Iho restrictions on bis movements re- moved to some extent and he eagerly seized the opjicrtunily of enjoying him- self in Ihh way he chose.

One .Sunday morning ho slipped quiet- ly out of the palace and mingled with the crowd which was waiting outside the gates to see him drive to mass. On another occasion, in order to escape stagnation, he jumped into a passing nwtor cab, went to Olympia and paid his shilling like an ordinary, visitor lo see Ihe auto show. .\ few days later he found himself thivHtened wilh a few unoccupied mo- ments, .so off he went to Mine.

"Giwd grucioas, it's Ihe King him- self!'' tlie exclaimed, and then made a iMsty retreat in order to hide her con- fusion. On another occn-sion the King, ac- companied by Iho Duke of Alba, paid a surpri.'o visit lo Ihe .Soldiers and .Sailors Help Society.
