Sad. Ushdas a fresh clear, the ambassador pro need ad to sire me the folliwins astonlshlnc narrative: “It waa several years aco. as you erffl recoilect. that the press of Europs waa filled with reports of a my— Mrtous lllnsse from which this youns monarch waa said to be sufferins. This malady was described as belnc of a highly tnffctiour character, though not aaaetiy dangerous. At the same time the world was called upon to admire Che maternal solicitude of the queen(agent, who. It was said. In order tc auree her eon. had shut hereeif up in Us apartments, with only two attendants, refraining from all Intercourse with the rest of the palace while the critical period lasted The only other persons who were permitted to have access to the sickroom, besides the

king's tutor, and Senor

"In the meantime, what had really

happened waa this:

"On the day before these reports be-

a lion, and to him shyness Is absolutely unknown. 'The next talng that happened waa the return of ths queen-regent, close of the review. She sent to the tutor to bring Alfonso to her. Confounded at such a message, he hurried Into her majesty's presence. »_d at once the truth was discovered There had be-n no discontent troops, and no sending for the king. He had become the victim of a cleverly planned abduction. "Figure to yourself the despair of Queen Christina. But even in such momenta, royal personages are not freed from considerations of state. Before taking any steps, it Was necessary to advise with the prime minis-

ter.

"A messenger was at patched to fetch him to the palace. Senor Oeastal* lost no time in obeying the summon*, and the facts wars id before him. "It was by his Imperative advice that It was decided to keep the »ff*lr as long as possible. In the unsettled state of the Spanish kingdom with a dynasty hardly yet seated the throne, and threatened by r one side and l^bip' the other, the news that tV)^ j teen spirited away mip“ be the signal, as yoe m-tbc hkbils of pretended UK fftocer* of the With the excepUo’nng them at cost servants, svery . , eluded from tb rlore *- The which U wasip for flour aud sugar, lying 111. and C to take np he escape the p/east cake, or t» they

'It would be ungrateful to keep up this deception with you say longer. Alfonso cannot receive your touching gift, because Is not In the palace. My son was 1 naped four days ago.’ "I was thunderstruck by this ns waller majesty then Invited ms t seated, and told me the whole of the circumstances, exactly as I have related them to yoe. As eooc as recital waa finished 1 rose to my feet. “Ttadame,' I mid. with ImpressiveAna. 'leave this affair In mr hands. Give me five days, and I undertake to recover my young playmate from the clutches of these assassins ' "My asauraooer appea.ed to satisfy her majesty. She then condsscs to sign a paper Investing me with tall powers to take what steps I deemed necessary In the conduct of the affair. and, armed with this document. I

DISAPPEARANCE CASES.

Newspaper readers, and all who follow police and oourt work, must be impressed with the frequency of disappearance cases. These cases are of two types, the real and the fakes. The newspaper reporter who looks up the case goes to the home expecting to find the wile dissolved in tears at the loss of a husband whose vows she conned too trustingly in. Actually, however, she dors not seem

much upset

The true inwardness of some of these situations was explained the other day by a man who had investigated a number of such cases. A husband will often leave secretly for another place, ohtain a job, aud send money regularly to his wife. She meanwhile will live in some degree of comfort, particularly as she has a pv-seemingly good excuse for not paying bills. When the duns become too pressing, she can follow her husband ; but until that time she sometimes is able to get relief from municipal pauper depart- : menu, meanwhile receiving regular remittances from her husband. The majority of disappearance cases are probably not ot this £ type; but there are enough of them to signify a certain social irre- ’ . ^possibility, an unwillingness to bear one's part of the life and IV ibor of a community, and to fulfil the obligations imposed by

F*. bt*, marriage and the possessiou of a family.

The KmzDY.—The diaeaae cannot be influenced by aprayiug. Ttieonly aatiafactory remedy is to cut out the diseased part*, and the beat time to do Uiti the autumn. If all the dueaaed can be cut not and burned during Uie dormant aeaaou there will be no outbreak in the apriug.
