An ORPHAN GIRL WHOSE LONG ABN
sRNcE LOCKED Up A FoRTuNR.
Twenty-thres years ago, John Kirby
died In New York, leaving an orphan
daughter, named Margaret, then q
child. His intimate friend, John
Baker, died subsequently and left Miss
Kirby 10000, to be paid to her upon
her 21st birthday. Belmi Marks was
appointed guardian Of Miss Kirby,
then bright little girl of 4 summers.
Alter q short time he placed the girl
in the Roman Catholic Asylum at Mott
and Prince streets, and O few months
later lady who claimed to be rela.
tive, under plea that she desired 70
buy the girl some olethinR, took her
away. All trace of the mysterious
visitor and the missing child was lost
until July last-twenty one years af-
terward--when Mr.. John Roach, her
guardian, after . dIlgent search,
found her residing with Mr.. and Mrn.
McMahon, on Second avenue, be-
tween Eighty third and Eighty fourth
streets,
These people, who are respectable
and much respected, not having any
children of their own, decided to adopt
the young child, and since she was s
years old she has lived with them and
has been educated by them, keeping,
however, her proper name of Margaret
Kirby.
Once found, Mr.. Roach had not
much difficulty in identifying her a.
the long lost child, and when the me-
cessary afidavits of proof had been
prepared, the young lady, with Mr..
Roach and counsel, appeared before
Surrogate Calvin for an order to pay
over the legacy and interest. The
identity being conclusive the order was
granted, and Mr.. Marks with much
pleasure handed over the amount due
with compound interest. Miss Kirby
is . prepOssessing young lady about
25 years old, with fair hair and
light blue eyes. She is still at her old
homo.
