THE r. ND
OF ri ATEO

copyright, 1906. by Eugene Parcellsl
There was never more absolute
monarch, no matter what his color,
thanking sIateog who reigned over three
Of the New Guinea islands thirty years
ago.
Mateo's father had made the mistake
Of murder@lg the crew Of trading
vessel, and when word had been pass
ed around the white men would trade
with him no more. The son sent word
far and wide that all traders should be
safe with him, and In time many yes
sells called at hts islands. He had
copra and oil and other things TO sell,
but he wanted guns and ammunition
In exchange,
He hired white men to drill bis war
riors and build forts for him. He even
got hold Of number Of cannon and
had them mounted. He had the largest
fleet Of war canoes on the big island,
If his men could have been made sail.
ors Of. the old chap could have gone
Into the pirate business In first class
shape.
For five years King Mateo encour-
aged traders and whalers and goi
ready for a grand coup, and then he
struck blow that made his name In.
famous In every eastern sea. In bis
principal harbor were lying two Eng
lish whalers and five trading vessels
when be gave grand feast 1t was
his wish that the crews Of all the YES
sells be present. and only two or three
men were left aboard when the feast
began. By drugging the liquor and
food Mateo made about a hundred men
helpless, and when they bad their
senses again it was to find all their
vessels captured and every person q
prisoner. When the various craft had
been robbed and stripped they were
towed to sea and scuttled BY thI.
stroke the king secured many more
firearms and barrels more Of powder
as well as other things to increase hi
wealth and arrogance.
Three months after the attack Cap
tain Williams of an Australian tradel
managed to escape to sea lii canoe
but had neither food nor water. III
was picked up by vessel hundret
miles away 1t was -four months late
before a British war vessel startet
from Singapore to convince King Ma
tco that there were other monarcbs o.

seven months Mateo had grown SO ar
rogant that he defied the world. TWEEN

to deprive healthy man of his life.

assert that General Washington was
