had to use one of the ordinary railroad
station cabs. Arriving at his destina-
ton, the king asked the amount due.
"Oh, recognize you well," said the
driver. For the king of spain it will
be 10 francs ($2). His majesty smiled
glanced at the meter on the vehicle,
and handed the driver the sum indicat-
ed thereby, plus an ordinary tip. Some
days after Alphonso returned to Biar-
ritz to consult his physician. This
time he also made use of cab, but
with a different result. When the
king inquired what the bill was the
driver replied: "Your majesty owes
me nothing for this small service
which have had the honor to render
him." whereupon the king handed him
a new 100 franc ($2O) bill.
