first OF those threatening letters fore
bodtng abduction OF the heir OF the
house. Like all the other general cor
respondence, these epistles passed first
through the hands Of the AStor agents.
OF course, people Of their wealth have
all kinds OF mail matter sent TO them.
Therefore the communications, which
at first took the form Of vague threats
In case OF pliance with certain
pecuniary demands received little at
tention. But grsdually the writer's,
while not throwing aside their anon
unity, became more specific, until the
abduction OF young Woldort was cate
gorically threatened.
The boy Waldorf is enc of the inter
esting trio of children. His education
was, of course, matter of the deepest
concern TO Mr.. Aston, himself an &C
complished scholar, master OF half a
dozen languages, acquainted with the
sciences. and well versed In all depart
ments Of knowledge. 1t was but a mat
ter of course, therefore, that
YOUNG wALDoRF'S EDUCATION,
in every branch OF learning and art,
was carefully planned. The languages,
music, painting, science and the BEL
letriStic divisions OF knowledge were
successful by this scion OF the house Of
Aston under the tutorShip of expertsfn
their respective studies. That father
and mother became wrapped up In their
frst-born as his attractive qualities OF
mind and heart developed, stands TO
reason.
But two motives could exist for kid
mapping the heir Of all the Astors-as
he then was. The hope OF pecuniary
gain by the operation would seem the
weightiest, and, indeed, was so well un-
derstood that the detectives, who usually
reap their richest harvest in the un-
easiuess entailed by the possession OF
wealth, had long before been in
structed to guard against the danger.
Therefore, wherever the Astor house.
hold established itself, there were its
hired, unseen and watchtul guardians.
II little Waldorf went on journey, his
parents knew that not far from him
were those who's duty IL was TO make
his personal safety their first care.
But human precaution has It's limits.
The anonymous letters became less anu
less vague as time went on. knowl'
ed &c Of the family's dolngs which could
only come with knowledge OF the
family's plans, was shown by the writ
ers of these harrassing communications.
Who was the author Of the letters?
For an Aston TO appear apprehensive
OF his heirs safety would but leopard
izs that safety more; still, the field OF
suspicion was gradually narrowed, IN
I'll the family counsellors concluded
that former servant was implicated in
the plot that threatened the family
peace.
That the Astors should have enemies
is: not surprising. 1t Is well known
among 4 certain social set that lillian

For the last few years OF the great
American land owner Astor'S residence
in his native city Of New York, the
prospect tina this son Waldorf might at
any moment fall into the hands OF kid
napers was constantly the family
sword OF Damocles. Threats, darkly
made in constantly arriving anonymous
letters, precautions, the more efficient
because their necessity and very exist
ence were denied, and longing TO es-
cape the gaping publicity incident to
his riches, combined, finally, to drive
Americas rent-receiying Cr9sus into
his present splendid exile.
Connected with the chief aggrava-
walton were host OF lesser miseries.
Baked political ambition, longing for
distinction and growing feeling
that in New York he and his
were becoming more and more the prey
Of the designing and ambitious, filled
the measure Of Mr.. Astor's unhappiness
TO the brim.
About three years before the
Waldorf Astors sailed away
there began TO arrive the
