most energetic OF European royal trav-
elers and for that reason one OF the
most difficult for the police to take
care OF. He has been known to leave
Ostend In the morning, to spend a cou-

individual who seldom left his majesty's

kings personal attendan for several
years. The sergeant sleeps outside the
kings door at night and accompanies
his master wherever he goes by day.
