The popularity OF his method is shown
by the number OF persons who deal with

gradually increased his business. until
now eleven stores IL different sections of
the city bear his name, and he is con-
stantly opening new establishments.
Every man with a family has learned
that the grocers' bills are an important

CONVICT INHERITS WEALTH BUT
CANNOT SPEND IT.
Pssquale Monadi of Italy Sentenced
TO Fifteen Years Imprisonment
for Murder, Comes
into Riches.

Seldom has there been afforded
a more striking Illustration of the
irony Of fortune than that which has
befallen a young Italian He has sud
denly become enormously wealthy, but
the unexpected access of riches only
adds to his misery. He cannot spend
a cent of it on himself He has to
work hard without pay and subsist on
the plainest fare, although money
enough is his to enable him to wallow
in luxuries were he only to get it.
Pasquale MOnaldi is a millionaire,
but he still remains q convict.
Not long ago ne was working wear
fly at breaking stones under the At
rican sun on the island Of Lampdusa,
between Malta and Tripoli, wonder
Ing why ne had been sent into the
world if the end was the four walls
of a prison during the best years of
his life, when a companion. seeing
his detection, undertook to cheer him
up by predicting that something would
certainly happen
Yes" said the other contemptu-
ously, Il can die. that's what can hap
pen"
The same mood followed him to
his cell, and it was with a smothered
oath that he looked up when a rat
thing at his door announced a visitor.
Tive men walked soIemnly into the
narrow cell, and standing before the
convict asked him If he had not felt
in his bones that something was go
ing to happen

York, and was used by the family up
to and during the revolutionary war.
Just after the war, when Washing
ton was president, he was often the
guest of the family, and the coach
was put at his disposal and often used
by him. When Gerard Beekman died
it was bequeathed to his son, VII
liam, the grandfather of the present
owners. That part of the will which
relatec to the coach was framed and
still hangs In the Beekman homestead
at Oyster Bay. II reads:
ITO my son, William B.. bequeatA
my coach, trusting he will preserve it
as my other children think it too old
fashioned to have around. Dated No
vember 3, 1901"
The vehicle is built of mahogany
and is elaborately carved In relief.
The blue scroll painting is still Wis
ible over all the framework. The body
OF the coach measures seven feet nine
inches from the floor to the roof. Il
slopes in front, and while the 'FRONT.'
wheels are of the ordinary size the
rear wheels are six feet in diameter.
The coach is so high from the
ground that three steps are necessary;
these fold up so that they form q
block of iron ten inches square. On
the doors at each side is still visible
the coat of arms OF the Beekman fam
lily.
Two panes of glass 10x12 inches h
the front of the coach give light. The
coachman's seat In front is guarded
by a wide strap with a big buckle.
There is a seat for the footman at the
rear, with ample room for baggage.
Under the two seats in the carriage
are large drawers. The coach Is
lined with heavy gray felt which is
badly torn and mOtheaten.
The present head Of the Beekman
family, Gerard Beekman, kept the
coach for many years in a special
coach house, and the coachmen were
under instruction to save it Hrst In
case of fire.

with happenings, what want is to
be left in peace!"
VERY well, then" said the visitor,
q shall have your millions and leave
you in peace!"
After batting the poor fellow some
time longer until he was rapidly los
ing his head, he was told that an aunt,
whose very existence he had forgot
ten, had just died, leaving millions,
and that he, Pasquale, the poor con-
vict, was her only heir.
What are you tOTturing me for?"
he cried, that would be the limit!
Millions outside and Ia prisoner! |
will not believe in such i'll luck"
But, all the same, it was true. Pas
quales aunt, Berta Forlani, went
when young to South America with
her parents, where she married
miner. This miner discovered a sill
yer mine, and died leaving her rich.
The now old and childIess woman had
just passed to her long rest, and her
nephew is the only survivor of the
whole family.
PasQuale, who was a barber, is in
his convict prison for Is years, and is
now just 25, having served three years
already. His crime was murder, but
not premeditated. One evening he
was out walking with his sweetheart,
Rosa GambrOtta, but the course of
true love was not flowing very smooth
ly. She was not as wrapped up in
her companion as he would have
wished, and in his eyes, was too con
scious of the admiring glances thrown
at her When he was in a thorough
ly bad temper they met a certain Giu-
seppe Bottego, his most feared rival,
who greeted the girl familiarly, all
three stopping to talk
Rather free Jokes passed between
Rosa and Giuseppe, which ended by
the latter catching her about the
waist, and, with ribald jest, plant
| ed a resounding kiss on her red lips.
She, taken aback, screamed, and fu-
riously demanded if Pasquale would
stand by and see her thus treated.
PasqHale on his side saw red, and
| drawing his knife struck wildly at the
offender, sending the blade straight
/ into his heart It was all over in q
moment. The victim sank dead to
! the pavement, while the murderer and
girl, hoping to get a8ay in the lark
ness and loneliness of the road, turn
ed to run, but were stopped.
All this came out at the trial. which
ended in Pasquale being sentenced to
Is years penal servitude, the bitter
ness of his fate being intensified by
the knowledge that Rosa was a heart
/ less >hirt, who would speedily dry her
eyes and console herself with another
lover.
And the millions? They will be ad-
ministered by some one appointed by
the courts. and if he is honest Pas
quaIe will find them waiting for him
when he comes out If he should
turn out dishonest. PasquaIe may find
himself as TeIEiiess as when he first
donnsd the convict's garb.
