A Inst ESinr

In olden times, when European kings
were as plentiful as Kentucky colonpls
are today, 1t was not an exceptional
occurrence for king to disappear ana
never been heard OF again In ancient
times, however. the people have been
more careful of their kings.
So when King Sebastian Of Portugal
disappeared in battle July 20. 1918.
while lighting the Moors at Alcazar,
there was great cOmnotion. The Moovs
surrendered to the Portuguese Il body
said to be that of the king, but it was
rumorcd that the Moors had the king
alive in custody
The surrendered body was buried
with royal honors at Bclem. but the
faithful Portuguese nnrsistcd In walt
ing for the return Of their king Long
after he would have died In the course
Of nature his countrymcu ionsingly
awaited his coming.
Even up to this day the legend Of the
return Of King Sebastian Is believed by
many. and on stormy nights credulous
Portuguese citizens will wrap their
cloaks about them and so outside and
watch the storm, thinking that the
king may appear in q cloud Of fro
again to rule.
