The king, realizing the situation, with lightning rapidity dug hla •purs Into his horse, which reared violently. This quickness saved hla .THs. The bullet, Instead of buTylug itself in the king's breast, struck the horse on the neck, hat so close . was It that the king’s left hand glove was blackened by the pow der discharged.

The assassin managed to tree hts revolver arm and fired two more shots In rapid succession, hut the officer knocked hla arm aside, Md the bullets flew harmlessly through the air. At the sound of the first shot the king’s staff rode their horsee onto the sidewalk, and made a rlag around the assasshi. who fought fiercely In the grip of interest In the competition will atlm- ulate greeter Interest among tho parents.
