The Queen sprang back in fear and hor-

that the harm was done to her little un-

to grow up deaf and dumb, although not

Queen was an English girl, the youngest
granddaughter of the late Queen Victoria.
A pretty, healthy, blondIhaired girl, she
was chosen as most fitted to rear healthy
family for King Alfonso who inherited
poor constitution from his ancient Bour-
bon ancestors, many Of whom were insane
or defective.
The young Princess, who was not of
great importance in England, was doubt
less attracted by the thought Of becoming
a real Queen and of enjoying the vast rev.
enues that went with the position. She
fully appreciated the duty that fell to her
OF becoming a popular queen and de-

Wretched old horses unable to run out Of

bull to be disembowelled as a preliminary
to the great feature OF the spectacle.
The Queen, with her English sporting
training and interest in horses, declared
this practice was absolutely intolerable
and she would not witness II. It was then
arranged that at any bull fights which she
attended unnecessary slaughter OF horses
should be avoided.
Just before the birth OF her second son
the Queen attended bull fight at Segovia,
near Madrid. II should be explained that
the birth was not then expected by the
Queen or her physicians. II would not
have occurred normally until several
