should become his son-in-law and ac
cept a place by his side upon his throne.
This the American, who had become in
love with his new home, was very
glad to do, and be accepted the wife
and the seat with equal eQuanlmity.
But the old King was not content
with this, and secretly longed for new
honors to heap upon his son-in-law.
Finally, upon his sixtieth birthday, he
resolved to abdicate the throne and ID
place in the great big .arved char the
American, Fred Banks. He did this,
and there the American sits to-day.
WANTS A WHITE WIFE.
To a yachtsman who accidentally
touched upon the island six months
ago, and who, hearing of his country
mans position, called upon him, the
American King said that if he had an
ungratified wish it was for a white
wife of his own country. He said that
his dusky wife, the old Kings daughter,
while sweet and lovable, and all that
a man could wish, was yet in suficient
to him, because of her inability to dis
cuss with him the life of the United
States, which he has never forgotten.
IF | could have a San Francisco girl
or a woman from any part of the
United States would be perfectly
Happy She might not be as amiahle
as my dark wife, but she would be one

been looking at him in a half-appeal-

over to her seat, lifted his hat, and
said hesitatingly: "Er-I mink we

the woman had looked gravely inter-
ested, then smiled sweetly, murmured
sOmthing about being so glad and
made room for him beside her He
dropped into the seat, and a desultory
conversation began. He tried by vari-
Gus means to get her in some way to
refer to her name, but she apparently
did not see his lead, and steered clear
of the issue gracefully.
AS he knew nothing whatever about
her, except the few words his friend
had dropped, the conversation dealt
largely in generalities. The wedding
at which he had officiated as best man
was gone over and discussed in detail.
She showed a remarkable knowledge
Of the whole affair, and, on the whole,
proved a delightful companion. al

her people.
