FORESTS STORMY LIFE.
Domestic Difficulties Constituted Part
of Tragedian's Woes.

William Winter in Munsey's.
In Edwin Forests private life there
came a time when he was unfortunate
and unhappy. He had married, In Lon
don, in 1897, Catherine Sinclair, daugh-
ter of John Sinclair, the celebrated
Scottish vocalist, and for ten or twelve
years had lived happily with her; but,
impelled by jealousy, he repudiated his
wife, and sought divorce. A counter
suit was brought, public scandal en-
sued, and the wife was vindicated. That
accomplished gentlewoman, known for
many years to the present historian,
declared to him that Forests jealous
disposition showed itself almost from
the first of their married life-on one
occasion, strangely enough, taking the
ridiculous form of resentment against
the venerable Lord Jeffrey, the Edin-
burg reviewer, one of her fathers
friends, and one of the most punctili-
ously honorable and circumspect old
gentleman in the British kingdom.

compulsory power, upon some people,

love-letter, written by George w.
Jameson in imitation of the manner
of "Consuelo," and found by Forrest

when in town the other day. Never
saw anything like 1t before.
"A few months ago lot of agents
came down in our territory displaying
catalogues showing peach, plum. apple
and cherry trees in gaudy colors. They
told lis farmers that they were willing
to sell these at from 80 to rs cents
apiece, under contract that they
would require no pay until each tree
was bearing.
Then they would buy one-half of
the fruit at the highest market prices,
guaranteeing In the case of peaches
not to offer less than 70 cents bushel.
They would take half of the cost of
the trees and plants In this way II the
purchaser wished and If the sale was
little slow would generously offer to

when. in addition, they guaranteed to
replace all that died save through neg
lect, and promised TO send man each
spring to prune, examine and replace.
THE trees came all right. but some

them did not contain the clauses the
farmers had been led to believe wero

THE new man was very polite and
sympathetic. He was very sorry f
there had been any misrepresentation

had died the week before and left no
such memorandum. What farmer who
reads the papers would expect COM

al this time. They had sized this restau-
rant man up because he always wore in
his four-in-hand tie a huge, fiashy four
stone diamond pin. The stones were the
white boys. as the crooks call them, and
each of them looked TO weigh about four
karats.
1.-The old restaurant man, as they no.
ticed, was usually pretty we'll lit up when
he took the car to go home. and he looked
good to the pair of spark grafters. So
they arranged a night to get that pin.
They boarded the car in which the res
taurant man sat half doing. In the en-
joyment of his regular going-home bun,
and waited for the car to fill up with
folks from the theatres.
1.-THE old restaurant man, very gallant,

of the spark grafters gave him the allow

turned to put up growl the other one

at looked like a good two thousands
worth, anyhow. to the crook who hal
done the elbowing. They got off the car
and made directly for the plant of the
fance with whom they did business. The
crook who had the pin handed it over to
the fence and named his smallest figure
with a confident grin. The fence took the
pin, looked at 1t just once. and remarked
'Nothin' dom in the ice line just now.
Stop your kiddin.
THE crook who hadn't collared the pin
looked tremendously surprised, and the
crook who had collared 1t simulated q
look of equal surprise
" ID you fellers mean to hand II to me
that you don't know that this Is a
phony? said the fence to Them holding up
the pin.
Pin Was Bogus.
"Well, sure enough the pin was a bogus,
just fairly well sawed Brazil brilliants.
The crook who hadn't swiped the pin
looked disappointed and gloomy. and said
that his eyesight must be failing-that
he'd never been visited before in piping
off the real thing In rocks. The other
crook chimed in, and added that he'd
never felt so cheap In his life. Then the
two spark grafters separated.
1.-The one who had colared the pin
and who had 1t in his kick all the time,
took 1t to another fence and got $3.50
for it without a hitch. You see, he'd had

pipe men. The Waterman had a hard time
to square himself, and came mighty close
to going to prison. He stuck to the cop
story so persistently, however. that the
policeman on the bank beat and the one
on the adjoining beat had to get to the
front with all sorts of explanations as
to where they had been while the rob-
berry was in progress. To square them
selves. both of the cops had eventually
to own up that they had been taking
maps at the time, and they lost their
badges. The three craftsmen got their
bits in Trenton prison.
Now, these two chaps in the rgout of
cops were Chicago bank burglars. They'd
sailed east to walt for their graft to pick
up a bit in their headquarters town of
Chi and In some mysterious way they'd
learned of tho details of this proposed

and no work worth mentioning, and so
they went to one of the fence customers
of New York and got themselves diked
out in cops rigs.
'nrhen they went to Trenton on the ap
pointed night and just waited around till
their moment arrived. Then they made
their play and 1t was a neat and profit
able one at that. They got away with
the goods and the story didn't get out for
four years afterward. Then one of the

ever anything in this honor among
thieves fake, you'd naturally have sup
posed that these two Chicago cracksmen
would have been ostracized by their pals

this sort particularly well, because one
of the crooks involved told me of the
incident most picturesquely.

declared it was impossible he or any
body else could accomplish. He was

Jameson always solemnly declared
himself innocent in that business. He
was run over and killed by an express
train on the Hudson River railroad,
near Glenwood, October 3, 1868. On
hearing of the catastrophe of his death,
Forrest wrote:

thoughtfulness When he found out that

his ingenious pal and demanded his bit.
