LUCKY HEIRS.
A Story that Reads Like Romance.

New YORK, March ga story that
reads Ike romance comes from the Chill
dren's Aid Society. James Anderson, a
New York merchant, failed In 1856 His
three children, William. Michael George.
and Margaret, ages eight, ten and fourteen
years respectively, were placed In good
homes In Michigan IN the following year by
the Children's Aid Society, through its
agent, the Rev. j. p. Root. Frequent re-
ports were received from them from time to
time. The girl died, but the boys grew to
manhood and entered the army Receiv-
ing honorable discharges at the
close OF the war they returned to their
homes In Michigan, where one married and
built up good legal practice. The other
is farmer. Their interest In the Children's
Aid Society was kept. up by correspond
ence, and In 1875 one OF the brothers called
at the office on visit east. before going
back to Michigan. II now appears that by
the death Of Michael Root In 1881, In Edin.
burgh, Scotland, three children fell heirs
to an estate worth several millions Of dol
lars. The former agent Of tbs society,
Rev. Mr.. Root, called al the Office OF the
society last week TO gather facts prepare
tory to claiming the estate in behalf Of the
heirs.
