A short time since, nt one of the weekly dances at which Alphonso XIII., Spain’s small King, is the host, a pretty girl of 11 years won his little Spanish hoart, and he choso her repeatedly for a partner. At the end of the dance the children, as usual, began embracing and wishing each othor “Good-by.” Alphonso made straight for his diminutive favorito with open arms. She shrank away coquettishly, and refused oven to let him kiss her cheek. Alphonso looked her over, turned his back and walked away. On the next occasion the little girl was present, but the King did not dance with her. When the ball closed, however, she went to him and turned hor cheek to be kissed. Alphonso, however, took a step backward and stretched out his hand that she might kiss it, exclaiming, “I am your king.”
