known in New York society, and who
had just arrived from Pau. was prone
promenading on the beach with her aged
French maid, and the youthful monarch
was also taking a morning walk. accom-
panied by Loriga, his military instructor.
AS usual Master Alfonso carried a
camera slung over his shoulder, and
every time he passed the pretty Ameri-
can girl he took a snap shot at her.
Miss Colford for time was unaware
Of this. When she discovered what the
lad was doing she became intensely
angry. At this time she had no idea Of
the identity Of her prosecutor. She
rushed up to King Alfonso, just as he
was preparing to take another picture,
seized his camera, and threw it upon the
ground. exclaiming:
How dare you?'
Colonel Loriga picked up the camera
and placed himself between the king and
the excited American girl, saying in
English:
Madam. this is the king of Spain"
1T makes no difference who he is re-
turned Miss Colford angrily. This is
the seventh time he has photographed
me. I call that gross. insulting insist
ence, and I want him to know it,"
Tell her we thought her remarka bly,
pretty put in the king. That's our
excuse. Beg her pardon and say that
after this the pictures shall not be de-
veloped."
Miss Colford began to apologize for her
outburst. but the royal boy evidently
thought the conversation had lasted long
enough. for he turned his back upon
Miss Colford and walked away. leaving
her under the embarrassing gaze of the
beach promenaders.
