Part Of Stewards Body.
in an engagement in the early part of the re-
bellOn met with the loss of both legs.
1t would seem rs though one deprived of
both legs had enough to keep him quiet at
home instead of running about and getting into
all sorts of deviltry; but Stewards disposition
was not lugubrous he was naturally active,
vivacious, and always ready for anything that
could be construed into sport. After supply
ing himself with pair Of those marvellous in
struments invented by the world famous Marks,
he soon became able 10 walk on his rubber feet
with an elastic step just like dude. He could
walk tiptoed, fatioOted, with high or low
heel, narrow broad toes, just as the law of
fashion demanded, and no matter how hideOus
and uncomfortable the custom was to other
people, Stewart was in the same happy peace of
mind he had neither c0rns nor bunionS to an
noy him, and could go the extreme and have
as much comfort as his companions who were
shod in mnccasins. lie had another advantage
he could waltz with the Chicago girl and his
rubber feet would be insensible to any danger.
Stewart got so he could run, skate, smoke, play
billiards, drink "Sec," fld spend money as
well any of the boys. He Was naturally free
and had plenty of money, and thus he became
quite lion among his associates.
One thing would annoy Stewart, and that
was if any one found out that he wore wooden
legs His new companions were kept in lgno-
rance, and his old ones were sworn to eternal
silence. If anyone wanted his bittereSt cnmity,
all they had to do was to intimate that he wore
wooden legs.
Stewart belonged to q club Of young bloods
who seemed TO have nothing to do but indulge
in everything Of a sporting nature. They were
known rs The Ecccntrcs,' aud more fitting
title could not have been chosen. They went
fishing in the Summer, pigeon shooting in the
Fall, sleigh riding in the Winter, and drank
beer all the year round, and Stewart was al
ways witirthem
About the time when the whole world was
astir over the 6esecra:iOn of the grave of the
millionaire 4. r. Stewart, and the papers We're
full of rumors to the whereabouts OF the
stolen body and large sums OF money were
offered for the return of the Same. the Eccentric
Club INDUCED in one of their hilarious fishing
exploits. On the evening of July 5 they ar
rived at one of those happy spots on the south
side of Long Island where several hotels, plenty
Of beer and the wide ocean were easily acceSsl-
bic. The Eccentrics retired early that evening
and all were up bright and early in the morn
ing, except Stewart. The boys were somewhat
exercised at his delay, as all were ready and
eager for the fishing grounds. Myles, who al
ways carried his jokes to a distressing degree,
rushed up stairs into Stewards room for the
avOwed purpose OF hauling the sleeping Eccen-
trio from his couch. There was Stewart fast
asleep. chair by the side of his bed con-

were standing his two wooden legs rs natural
