concerning an alleged Inheritance
placed in Mr. Carnegie's keeping, the
estate of a supposed uncle of Mrs.
Chadwick, named Frederick X. Mason.
In another packet there also is a
promissory note for 1,S0O, signed by
Emily and Daniel Pine, and a mort
gage securing the same. This Carne-
Gle paper with the $1,250,000 in notes
bearing the iron masters name prevl-
ously accounted for bring the total OF
this class Of securities to S16.49O,oo0.
With the denouement concerning the
securities there comes the story OF
ruin wrought by Mrs Chadwick oper-
atoms and the consequent failure of
the Citizens National Bank of Ober-
lin. Fri Reynolds, it is declared, is Il
sufferer financially as we'll as other
wise through being the prize dupe of
the case. The faithful guardian of the
securities on which the Chadwick
financial system was based for three
wears or so. it is stated, let Mrs. Chad
wick have nearly all the money he
possessed, but his entanglements are
personal and do not involve the Wade
Park Banking Company, of which he
is secretary and treasurer.
1t is among those of meager cir
camstances however, that the greatest
real suffering falls. From Oberlin it
is reported that the student body OF
the college located there has been hard
hit. At least fifty students had their
savings on deposit in the Citizens Ma
tional Bank. and these have been
wiped out. Many of these students,
some of whom are in their senior year,

The Chadwick bubble has b;:rSt com
pletely. In the history Of f. ,nzied
finance it will form part of the chain
of wrecks that have strewn the path
of coveteousness since the tiotation of
the great Mississippi Company by
John Law Of Scotland and France.
Mrs Chadwick's mysterious securi-
ties, when exposed to the light Of day,
instead of being worth millions of dol
lars, were found to be nothing but so
many sheets Of worthless paper.
Cleveland attorneys declare that it
was the evident purpose of Mrs. Chad
wick to borrow us large 4 fortune as
possible on the notes signed Andrew
Carnegie" evidently forgeries, expect
ing that before the expose came the
steel magnate would die. She was
sure, according to this theory, that a
settlement with his heirs would be Il
very easy matter
The bubble was pricked when A. A.
Stearns, the Cleveland attorney for
Herbert ID. Newton, Of Boston, the
creditor primarily responsible for
bringing the meteoric career of Mrs
Chadwick to an end, made an authori-
tative statement that the mysterious
package of securities left with ri

value of SIS 5000, which bears the
signature Andrew Carnegie" and is

OH Euclid avenue and began to show
evidences of enormous wealth. Enter
tainments were given at the house
costing thousands of dollars. The
stores of the city began to consider
her their best customer, for she bought
in large amounts and always paid
cash. On Il Christmas eve she invited
her husband to go TO the theater Be
fore leaving the house she had talk
over the telephone with furnishing

home with her the interior Of the house
had been completely transformed in

Some time ago she took twelve
young ladies out of Cleveland society

she had miniature on porcelain OF

favorite pastimes was to walk into a

house keepers also have been bank
rupted by the failure.
Coincident with the examination of
the package of securities the Federal
authorities got busy with the organi-
cation of the special grand jury called
to investigate the Chadwick case
The basis for the system that has
wrought havoc to an extent yet I'M
known, for the stories of ruined homes
through loss of savings are only begin
ming to come in, is now shown to be
strikingly akin to that by which the
bankers of France were defrauded Of
millions in the Humbert case, which
is of such recent memory as to be
almost contemporaneous history. Mrs.
Chadwick's Inheritance seems to be as
mythical and her benefactor as ticti-
tious as the inheritance from the
imaginary American millionaire that
was supposed to be in Nine. Hum

That DR., Leroy S. Chadwick, now
in Europe, was in the plot with his
wife to borrow vast sums on bogus Sc
curities is the assertion of ri Reyn-
olds, treasurer of the Wade Park
bank, trustee for the mysterious pack
age of Chadwick securities" DR..
Chadwick, he asserts, also knew about
trust agreement, bearing the name
of Andrew Carnegie, deposited with
Reynolds, asserting that NJ. Carnegie
held securities worth S10,246,00O be-
longing to Mrs. Chadwick.
1t is now said that although the
notes bearing Carnegie's name were
forged Mrs. Chadwick cannot be pros
ecuted for forgery, as she did not at
tempt to sell the notes.

! ing, in my opinion. can be clearer than
that, said Mrs. Weekly, holding the let
ter IN her hand, and very manifestly an
peallng to the young lady at the table for
continuation of her conclusion.
Inc young lady at the table sat all
sently, and perhaps lazily, drumming
! upon her pretty, white front teeth with
the tip of the ebony handle of her pen.
/ What do you think Of it, Lizzy?
calls out Mr.. John Wickly, without look
ing up, and pretending to occupy himself
in picking travelling" off his wife's
blue calico Dress
| Il think that means more expense"
finally the young lady spoke, and with
out stopping the tattoo upon the pretty,
white front teeth. "It means car fare
and hotel bills at Chicago. And then 1t
means contributions from the heirs to
pay the expenses that the lawyer must
incur in his trip to England. How many
of the heirs are thereP
Give a guess!' suggested Mr.. Wick
ly, winking at his wife.
Twenty" suggested Miss Lizzy, look
ing sidewise out of the corners of her
| large brown eyes.

hear FROM" said Mr. Wickly, in burst
of triumph at this surprising denoue-
ment.
Thirteen hundred and eighty-four!
exclaimed both ladies in breath.
Thirteen hundred and eighty-four"
repeated Mr.. Wickly, by way of empha-
| sis.
Il consider that number an ill omen"
said Miss Lizzy, again drumming upon
the pretty, white front teeth and open
ins the large brown eyes to their widest
in order to see, or not to see, between the
greenish- gray leaves of the morning glory
vines that ambuscade her as to the pry-
ing eyes of the side street and the more
remote curiosity of the front street
WHY" asked both her auditors, fac
ing round toward her, and remaining so
in expectation Of the somewhat delayed
reply.
Because it's exactly the amount |
| gave for the land. And BECAUSE" she
went on after slight pause, and way
ing her ebony baton toward the range
