pany. Accordingly, about o'clock an ex-
press wagon backed up in fropt of the main
entrance to the Insurance building, and
three officers, detailed for the service, took
position near it. A gang of colored laborers
with hand barrows were then put into SER

out, carrying at each trip one or two white
duck bags, on whose surface we're plainly

about as much as any one man was capable
of carrying. The line of carriers were under
surveillance of detectives from the moment
they took up their loads at the door of the
vaults on the main floor, until they depos
tied them ON the rear end of the
wagon, where two clerks were keeping tally.

TAKEN FROM LIFE,


About forty years ago handsome young
Frenchman was at the head of an aristooratic
French school on the Staten Islands Nights,
Just back of New Brighton. Among his
pupils was the daughter of the naughty
Bgelow family, then prominent in New
York society. To reduce two-volume ro-
nance to paragraph, can only say that
ehe French professor fell in love with Miss
Bigelow, and she vowed she would rather
die and take her chances in the other world
than to live without him. Her parents OPP
posed and threatened, and there were terri
Die times in the social circles of New York
and Staten Island. Finally the lovers settled
the difficulty by getting married. Miss
Bigelow was disinherited. Two lovely cher
abs-brother and sister--were the result of
the marriage, and for once love ran smooth
ly after marriage. Nothing, however, il
certain in this Elusive life; both father and
mother fell i'll and died very suddenly. The
two little orphans were taken to Boston and
educated by wealthy relations of the family.
The girl grew up to Independence and
struck out for herself. She became teach
sr, and for several years was Professor Of
Elocution in Vassar College. Her brother
also disliked to be burden to his relatives
and when the war broke out he enlisted In
the artillery service and went away to fight
for glory and 500 month. Not getting
killed he was able to return and participate
IN the ways of peace. In due time he found
himself at the head of big manufacturing
business in the enterprising City of Chicago.
He was also engaged to an accomplished
young lady, and Cupid sharpened his arrows
at her door, Prosperity seemed to have o
mortgage on their future, and all was going
well until the great fire reduced everything
to ashes. The flames were bursting from
the roof when the young man reached his
house. He saved but one thing it was a
large painting of his mother. He buried Il
in the garden amid showers of cinders
Then extinguishing his clothes which wert
on fire, he drove to another house milk
