consisted of a few old books and papers
of no conceivable value to anybody.
Thus passed away one of the most ex-

Washington his home. ~
Robarts loved to envelop himself In

BILE. Although he was quite without mil
itary experience of any kind, he posed
as a master of the science Of war. he
would relate with the finest detail in
cidents in battles in which he was sup
posed to have been present, but which
he knew about only from books or from
hearing others talk about them. And his
variations were 80 skilfully contrived
sometimes as to deceive even those who
were there. He posed as southern gen.
tleman Of the very old school, with aris-
tocratic associations running close to
royalty. He was born in Peru, Indiana,
and his antecedants were commonplace,
to say the most. He posed as the father
of children who would inherit millions,
although he was living in the hall room
in cheap boarding house. He knew
all the intricacies of the dueling code,
assumed to be the depository Of count
less state secrets, and to have mysterious
lines Of communication with every man
of consequence in Washington as well
as most of the capitals Of Europe. Yet
he had no friends or confidents, as far
as anybody could see, and he lived soli-
tary life.
