Il ceased to reply to the worthy
fathers conversation, being absorbed
in considering my next move. AS
soon as we were again in his room /
requested him to send for the steward
of the household.
HE complied, not without several
delicate attempts to elicit my motive
for this step. But he was dealing with
an old diplomatist. You will readily
believe that he elected exactly what
desired him to.
"On the stewards appearance, | re-
peated the explanation of my pretend
ed mission | also exhibited the pow
ers furnished me by the queen regent,
so as to stifle at once any possible OBJ
lection to my demands. l then gave
him these instructions:
C. In the first place, | require you to
examine the servants stationed at the
various entrances to the palace, and
to draw up full report, showing all
the persons who have entered or left
the building within the last ten days,
with the times of their coming and
going You will make this report as
accurate as possible. Secondly, you
will at once station a special agent at
each of these entrances, with instruc-
tions to allow no one, whatever his
position or business, to enter or leave
the palace, without first communicate
ing with me, and obtaining my sane
ton
"The steward bowed.
&C. DO these orders apply to the kitch-
en- entrance, by which the supplies of
the palace are received, senor?
"'They apply especially to that en-
trance. There is no more fruitful

flatter myself was not without lngenu-

which Alfonso had been carried off.
He had known me formerly, and ex-

my assumed character. l made him
repeat to me the details of the abduc-
ton, and then asked to see the most
recent photograph of his pupil.
1.-THE father produced a handsome
portrait, taken within the last few
weeks. The kings face, as you are
aware, is a very striking one. The
features are noble and defiant, the eyes
large and brilliant.
HAS this portrait been widely cir
culated?' I asked Is the man in the
street familiar with it?'
Certainly the priest answered.
1T has figured in all the shop windows.

glances. At length one ventured to

"I didn't see his majestys face,

back into the palace, followed by

"'You have done nothing, M. le

you any longer. Alfonso cannot re-

Her majesty then invited me to be

MY assurances appeared to satisfy

to sign paper investing me with full
