All hurrying. Men and boys with bun

the river, three boys were pushing an

water at each other A wooden sign
advertised, "H'DW'R, P'NTS, G'N'L

little girl was wading past, crying,

(From the London Star) sassinate the Spanish King, who in all these trials bore himself with conspicuous courage.
 In their family life, misfortune pursued him. His eldest son and heir to the throne was victim of the Hapsburg curse"-haemophilia. Later, the boy was to marry twice, both times "commoners," and be dis inherited from any chance for the Spanish throne as result. He died last year unattended by any of his family in Miami, Fla. Another son, Prince Jaime, was born deaf and dumb. still another son, Prince Gonzales, was killed some time ago in motor accident.
 Nationally, Alfonso's next great misfortune was his ill-starred war upon the Riffs in Spanish Morocco. In the battle of Anual 10000 Span ish soldiers were Killed and 15,000 prisoners were taken. One Spanish General committed suicide because of the defeat. It was only when the French joined the Spanish that the Riffs were subdued.
 Next came the elections in April, 1881, in which the Republicans swept the board. Acting President zamora of the newly proclaimed Spanish republic, said Alfonso must leave the country. And he chose the sinister date, April 13.
 Alfonso made a night dash from his Madrid place down to the sea where a Spanish cruiser was wait ing for him. His wife and children went by rail to France.
 It often has been thought that this act of the usually brave AL fonso was the eliminating cause of the arrangement between him and Ena. They separted in August, 1884. the ex-queen taking a simple resi- dence in London. Prior to the visit to Rome recently, where she met her husband, they had only seen each other once. That was in Rome in July, 1887, when they knelt to- gether in the Church of San Rober- to Bellarmino on the occasion of the marriage of Prince Alvaro, grandson of Infanta Eulalie, Alfon- SOS aunt.

London, Jan. 30-If, as rumored, former Queen Ena and former King Alfonso XIII of Spain become re- conciled, high international politics will have played their part in bring ing them together after more than four years of total separation.
 The future government of Spain, the future career of their son Don Juan, and future British policy all aye involved,
 Alfonso left the throne of Spain in 1881 but never formally gave up his rights until three years ago, when he renounced them in favor Of Don Juan.
 Now European statesmen are spe- cylating anew on the future Of Spain. Some are already assuming that the rebellion led by General laranco will be successful. There are those who think he will then set ur tatalitarian state with himself as its Nttle Hitler or Mussolini. Still ofhtrs doubt that he either wants thh ar can bring 1t about.
 Hqr Inc purpose Of the civil war tle, gay two important clements are supporting tranco-the Fascists and tAc Monaycl stS. Once the war is w0n, it Is pre- 3icted there will be a strugglc for power. There are many who think F10Nco would ape Mus solini Just As the latter is content to hAve .'ng Victor Emmanuel on the thgone with himself dictator boss, SO they think Franco would be content to have Don Juan on the throne. With himself as real ruler he might use Don Juan as figure head to unite the people once more
