born of the wonderful imaglnatlon of K,lp
Hng, whlch has probably boon moro wido
ly read and more nearly unlvorsally pro
nounced a modol short story, than any
over wrltten ln Engllsh.
"The Man Who Bocame IKlng" mlght
well be the tltle of tho blography of Davld
O'Keefo, an Amerlean cltlzen of Irlsh
descent.-'rosldont for many yoars ln 8a
vannah, Go,.For thls Amorlcan dled
locently, The rulor of a Klngdom ln
tho Southern Seas, tho possossor of a
forhmo eatlmated at mllllons ln tho
money of the, United States, the husband
of several dusky wives, and the fathor of
many "prlncos of the blood."
The Klng of Tap was Davld when he
dled.
Tho Americo-.rlshman ruled llke a Klng
whilo ho llved?ho flllod his royal coffers
and had a hlgh tlme wlth the ladies,
And now tho United States ls about to
help collect for his Amerlean wldow and
orphans ln Goorgia, or portlons of the
woalth ho amassed in the Orient,
It is a remnrkable story?thls blography
of Davld O'Keofo. But tho facts known
horo aro very fow, On yesterday, Sonator
Bacon, of Goorgia, asked tho Navy pQ.
partmont to.holp a Mr. Hartrldgo, of the
law flrm of O'Connor, O'Byrne & Hart?
rldgo of Savannnh, to get from Hong
ICong to Ya.p tn tho Carollno. Islands.
Mr. Hartrldgo was cmployed' by thei
Georgla helrs of Klng Davld to go to the
realma of tho decoased monarch and con?
test wlth his wldows and ohlldren for a
sharo of the woalth he had amassed
whllo ho had gulded the destlnies of tho
country. For with the nows that came
to Savannah of tho death of the Klng
'camo also the lnformntion that the busl?
ness of rullng had boon nn oxceedlngly
prpfitable one. Klng David's wifo and
hor chlldron had long boon wlthout nows
of tho nbsont husband and fathor. It ls
not recorded that when he dlsappearea
thero wero groat offorts mado to dlscover
whlthor ho had gono. There Is a classlc
p'rovorb concernlng tho bad ponny, and u
modern song regardlng tho cat that may
havo beon recalled by the dosertod. wlfe
and llttlo ones. '
THOUGHT IHM DEAD.
However that may be, Davld dld not
como back. It flnally bogan to dawn
upon the famlly and nelg"hbors that ho
was gono for good. As tho yoars went
by, and stlll no word oamo of Davld, lt
was gener_lly thought that he was dead.
Ho had probably lost hla lifo whllo at
tomptlng a flrst-class passage on the
bumpers of a frelght traln.
And at the very tlme, probably, that
David's old acqualntances were thlnklng
ho had been. kllled whllo rldlng on h,
fro'lght, ho was rldlng In state ln his
royal conch, wlth outrlders and housohola
troops to guard hlm. Tnat ls, lf they
havo ooachos ln Yap. Captaln Cook says
tho peoplo thero dldn't even havo clothos
whon ho dlscovorod them pvor a contury
ago, but as a conslderablo nmount of
wearlng apparol ls ono of tho flrst thlngs
Insisted upon by mlssl'onarles, and as
mlsslonarlos have been located In Yap and
othors of the Carpllnos for many yoars, It
ls qertaln thoy have trouscrs nnd pottl
coats thero now, and very probablo al3o
that tho messcngors of glad tldlngs havo
tnught tho people that rldlng Is a great
frlond to graco In a country closo up to
tho equator. |
At any rate, Davld got to Yap, It Is
hard to say how ho got thore. Mr.
Hartrldgo has found It almost imposslble,
and If he ever sots foot In tho"domlnlon
of the late rtiler lt must bo from the doelt,
of a war vessel, sent spocially to convey
hlm thlther.
David's mothods In wlnnlng tho crown
nro absolutoly unknown. It may bo thnt
ho Introduced Into tho lsland,tho terrihlo
blnck-lhorn' shellalah of Iroland. and
taught hlsnrmy how to use lt. Or possl
bly'ho got Into the country some magazlne
rlfles and a machlno gun, But It ls the
moro probablo that Davld slmpiy used to
such good purpoiio tho "bl.arney" whlch
makes of his raco tho favorlto and envy
of- the world, that the natlves thought
tho crown would bo most worthlly worn
by such a smooth-tongued man, so "bonu
tifully whlto. And lt ls mprally certaln
that It was In thls way that he won his
wlves. of whom he loft a number, and
clilliTron too numerous to montlon.
LEFT FORTUNE.
It Is not statcd how the nows of the
denth of Klng Davld reaohod Savannah.

he hnd left an Immonso fortune. It Is
