In Uie year 1823 Roosevelt struct was a contra of (ashloo. A pedagogue named Bragg kept a school there, which was attended by rich men's sous. Stewart bad bad a letter Coy him, lu bla face wu another, in bis attain ments a third. Bragg, In need or an assistant, asked Ills atd. For a year und a day Stewart gava It. At tbe expiration of that period lie fnhorited from bis grandfather the tons of 610.000. Tbe elder Irishman had made money lu linens aud laoes, and hts descendant saw no rseson why be should not make money io them loo. He weal utter the Inheritance, brought beck dry goods with It, and then it waa that tbe announcement io Uie Duffy Ad' trfucr appeared. A little later there was another an nouncement. Stewart bad token to blmaelf a wife— Oorneiia Clinch, a girl with chapped lifts ana a look of be wilderment wbicb sbe never lost. Her station waa not exalted. Wisdom she lacked, beauty, too, but bar ways were ways of pleasantness and ber paths were paths of peace. From that moment success set In. It waa over tbe shop on Broadway that they resided. Mm.

Bfdor* he saceesdad death took him. His life of dollars and cents was dove. fKsrrrn it.— distribution. The bourn he bad built waa white likable shops. At present teouuud by the Manhattan (Sab, opinions as to Ita hastily vary. At tbe time of hie death there was more moony In It and |e«a taste than In soy other dwelling la tlw world. Yon listened for tins click of the routsile lull, for the Ware of brass. It issmid to you a place where women la low naefc should ba eons leni ty amending and descending the stairs. The chandeliers made yon blink, and the freeooea sigh. There waa a blight ULUD it, lhe curse* of tbe thousands whom ha I tad rained. In tlte gaudiest oorntr of It tba will waa read. It bad been drawn on thn 97th of March, 1873. Two oodloib had boon added, one on th* same, one on the fallowing day. Hut it waa not Inng. There were a few bequest* to ■errant*, domestic and otherwise. There were a few baqnssU to frtoada. There were a few others to relatives of tbe deceased’a widow. To bis Isgal advisor, Judge Henry Ilittnn, Ui* sum of one milium dollars was b-qureUied, while »H tbe rent and residue of the property was given to tbe tesUtor’* wife, to her heirs, executors and aealgas forever. The rest aud residue u mounted to nearly Bfty millions. From thn eyes of Mrs. Stewart thn look of bewilderment bad not gono- it had beoome accentuated. The vertig inous aaceut abebed been led perplexed tbe simplicity of bar nature. The in solstice and exlrsraganoo of Ilia crudi ties will) which that house wa* made hideous startled her. It may be that dimly aud dumbly sbo had aif Inklloa mat u»u uaauj imuis m crime. Wlxn •he learned the magnitude of her jwm Mnlooa the was frightened. Then, too, In that gaunt, gaudy bourn sho was alone. The only ones ibars to whom aba might hare turned areco Murillo and Roan Doulwur, but sbe did not speak tbelr language, aod abe could not pronounce tbelr names. Yet, in spite of tbe perturbation, her way* still wore ways of pleasantness and her paths wnre paths of panes. To allay her alarm, It has been stated that Judge Hilton subsequently sur rounded bar with detectives and It baa been rumored that tbo one pleasure uf that poor woman was to peer through Urn curtains and assure herself that they were there. Kyeu with fifty mil lions such a pleasure must palL l'nr haps in one ease It did. in any event, sha prepared to divest herself of that wealth. Stewart died oo the 10th of April, 1870. 8«van days later the ootioe Id tbe Hh\Ud already cited appeared, l or 11,000,(100 aod divers other good considerations, sho made ovar to Judge Hilton, tbe rest and residue of that estate, reserving to herself but Uie Hew York property of whloh her hus haud bad died poaisnaaed. The value of that property waa a UHle over five millions. Even that was prodigious to her. To a woman such as aha twelve hundred a year would have aofllced. Whether It were this, the spoiling of her husband's grave which ensued, or merely because of that dread which will come and pull at the sleeve of those who He sleepless at night, whether it were any or all of those things, increasing age, decreasing strength no one may say. But tills fact remains: Whan, oo the 26th of October, 1806, five days after her eigbty-tblrd birthday, this woman, the previous possessor of fifty millions, who but ten year* before oouid have Said, and far more surely than Monte Cristo; "TIi* world is mine," wan bankrupt. If that la not a drama in dollar* it would be interesting to koow what it. ciiArrEB in.—dissolution. On that Monday of March, 1888, when a billiard buried this city iu snow, there waa in the Surrogate's Court so aodienoa of tha gtawart baits sod the widows next of kin. They were clamorous. They talked so loud that it took millions to hash them, and they hod so much to say that their tale might be uneuded yet. As It <ras they trad been talking for yearn. Tbe sums that stopped them to silence are unrecorded, but presently their voices subsided, their faces dis appeared, their identity merged and faded. Ililton remained He Oiled Ibe per spective. Behind him were a good many momorioa. Hut before and around and about him ware things more tangible than they. The firm that Stewart founded, for instance, aud its thousands of employes; two hotels in Saratoga and ihrte in Hew York, a stretch of Bleeeber (treat, a otty on Long Island,several ehntohea, a cathedral, a theatre, a hillock of bonds, and the peso* of consdenc* nt rest. •>or na that all.

The neat morning the PitHna laspector isaeod the following order to ssll the force r ’•To All: The remains of A. T. litawart wore last night stolen fr0m lit* family renlt, Rt. Mark's church yard.

This ia apparent from standing at the npon isg of the vault this morning; conse quently the body cannot be taken aeroaa the ftrrtts or placed anywhere above ground without discovery.

The crime had born done without leaving a trace, aod to this day tho criminals are unknown aud uninspected. After a time the robbers communi cated to Judge Hilton through the medlnin of the newspapers but In suoh a way that they would give no clue at to their whereabout*. They stated tliat the body was bnrtrd In (lanadu, and tbey would return It for **00,000. .This Judge Hilton sternly refuted, though Mrs. Siowart was anxious to make any term* the robbers required fui the take or getting the remain* latck. After two years of negotiations, aod when the robbers had almost do spalred of getting nnything, an agree ment was entered Into whoroby tbny were to return the body, properly Identified for 00,000. XIIt conamoas or tin delivery war* made quite a* severe as those which accompanied tbe negotiation* for tbe return of Cbarlte Boss. Tbe crlmlanU declined to take any chance*. Thoy did not demand that Ike money be dong from a flying train in a leathern bag, witivout any guaranteo. but tbe mau with tbe money bad to surrender himself absolutely into tbe bands of (be robbers, trusting to tbeir “honor.” Ue gas to leave New York City at 10 o’clock at nlgbt alone in a one horse wagon, sod drive into West cheater county along a lonely road, which lbs robbers indicated on a map which they sent marked. “Sometime before morning.” If tha man was act ing in good faith, and was not accom panied or followed by detectives, be would bo met and given further direc tions. A young relative of Mrs. Stewart uodsrtnok the hazardous errand, and drove out ioto the oountry. Two or tbree times during the night he be came certain that be was closely watched, but It was 4 o’clock when a masked horseman rode up. gave tbe signal agreed on, and be turned lb* buggy «p a lonlely lane. The strange visitor here left him, directing him to drive on. At tbe end o! another mile ho became aware that anoUier wagon was blocking the way. Ha paused. A masked man promptly appeared aud brought forward a bag to bis bugry, saying: “Here ’Us; where's tha money?” •‘Where is the proof of identity T” asked the mesaenger. as tbs bag con taining tho mortal remains of A. T. Stewart wa* lifted Into the baggy. ••Here,” Mid the other, holding up an irregular bit of velvet and opening a bull’s eye tsuiern upon It with a click. The piece was compared with a place of paper of tbe same shape which tbe New Yorker bad brought with him to this lonely spot. “Come, harry up,” was the com mand. The mesMnger obeyed by producing the money, and tlie robber retired a few feet and counted It by tho light of tbe lantern. Then they moved oil with their vehtole, and the meaaengor of Mrs. Stewart rod* beck the way be had come, glad to eecapt from such com pany. The next night a freight cur went out to (Hardon Idly, containing nothing except a trank, sod no It eat the mar. who had spent tbe Dight pre vious In the loacliost part of West cliestar county. An empty coffin had already been deposited in the cathedral and at tha dead of night two men transferred the bonne to it rrom the trnnk. They then placed tire coffin lu an maooaasibla vault beneath tbe dome. And now, they ear. tf any friend should ever again toncli, nobid den, the vault whtoh holds the bones of the merchant millionaire, tho toaeb will release a hidden spring, which would sbaka the oblnse of closured bell* in tbe tower and eend aa {aslant alarm throughout the sleeping village.
