delightful women. and remember the
CONSERVATION caused among them one
day by Burnham, the scout He ex-
planned that he attributed his success
as scout to the acuteness of his

KING OF THE COCOS.
Bachelor of 80 InheritS Throne
and Vast Estate.
10 Absolute Monarch Over MaIays
lnhabtng the Cocos Keeling
Group of lslands-CapitaI
Has Population of 700.

London.-His Majesty, Sidney l, the
new King of the Cocos Keeling
islands, is in London engaged over
the administration of the affairs of the
late king, his father, whose estate has
just been proved at the value of over
$1,000, 900, exclusive of his properties
in the islands.
The new king received representa-
tive of the London Leader in the ante
room of city Office in Wilmington
avenue, and consented to be inter
viewed with a readiness that is re-
markable, to say the least of it, on
the part of reigning monarch.
King Sidney is a tall, spare young
man of about 80, as brown as a
beechnut, with high cheek bones,
close-cropped black hair, a carefully
trained mustache, and a soft, caress-
ing voice. He was completely dis
guised in well-fitting clothes of gray
and patent leather boots. An enor-
nous emerald glowed upon the little
finger of his left hand-a jewel such
as none but a king dare wear, and
from his watch chain dangled medal
of gold, struck in commemoration of
the discovery of the Cocos Keeling
islands in the early days of the seven
teenth century.
Pray be seated" said his Majesty,
producing an aromatic cigarette. "The
court / receive here is quite unofIi-
cial, I assure you. At the royal pal
ace of New Selma it might be differ

a royal palace that cost fortune to
build, with my own laws to administer
in my own way, and no ministry to
worry me.

CHAPTER XVI.
Halsey's Disappearance.

Mr.. Jameson came back about
eight o'clock the next morning; he
was covered with mud, and his hat
was gone. Altogether we were sad
looking trio that gathered around a
breakfast that no one could eat. Over
a cup of black coffee the detective
told us what he had learned of Hal
sey's movements the night before. Up
to a certain point the car had made it
easy enough to follow him. And
gathered that Mr.. Burns, the other de
tective, had followed a similar car
for miles at dawn, only to find it was
a touring car on an endurance run.
HE left here about ten minutes aft
er eight" Mr. Jameson said. "He
went alone; at 500 he stopped at DR..
Walkers. | went to the doctors
about midnight but he had been
called out on case, and had not
come back at four o'clock. From the
doctors it seems Mr. Innes walked

Armstrong and her daughter have

Miss Louise. She will not say what
they were, but the girl evidently sus-

suspects foul play. but she doesn't
know Of what nature. Then, appar.

At that moment heavy step sound
ed on the stairs. Past the maids
white-strapped shoulder I could see a
familiar thatch Of gray hair, and in a
moment l was face to face with DR..
Stewart. He was very grave, and his
customary geniality was tinged with
restraint.

HE has disappeared, doctor. Not

helped me into his capacious buggy
in silence. Until we had got little
distance he did not speak; then he
turned and looked at me.
"Now tell me all about it." he said.
He heard me through without speak
ing.
And you think Louise knows some
thing?" he said when l had finished.
Il don't-in fact, l am sure of it. The
best evidence of it is this: She asked
me if he had been heard from, or if
anything had been learned. She won't

she knows more. She is very cruel
and ungrateful girl"
"She is a very sick girl" he said
gravely. Neither you nor l can
Judge her until we know everything.
Both she and her mother are ghosts OF
their former selves. Under all this,
these two sudden deaths, this bank
robbery, the invasions at Sunnyside
and Halsey's disappearance, there is
some mystery that, mark my words,
will come out some day. And when
it does, we shall find Louise Arm
