TRAGIC 8 TO It A OF AN 1001,.
stolen. From mi Orlentnl Temple a
t'entary and n Half Ago.
From the. Chicago Chronicle.
Perhaps the finest collection of oriental
idols In this country Is that owned by
damns E. Richardson of Philadelphia, who
has devoted much time and fnoney to get
ting together an aggregation of curios
which is practically priceless. Earth <>f
the qualnt-looklng or repulsive Images has
its own particular story attached, but none
of these narratives is more strange or
tragic than that connected with a bronze
figure which has Its origin In Burnish.
Some time in I he early years of the eigh
teenth century it was cast at Shwebo, In
upper Burmah, and was later sent to
Havre, tn French Tonqutn, where, accord
ing to native account, It stood unnoticed
for ten years tn the Kuan-Yln temple.
This edillrie was burned, but the Idol was
rescued by a priest who subsequently fled
to the coast during some sectarian trou
ble, taking the image with him. At a
smull village he found an Isolated band of
Buddhists, who hailed with Joy the ad
vent of a piiest, and the Image was In
stalled In a tiny temple on the shore of
the Gulf pf Tonqutn. Prom the time of
the priest's arrival the little community
seemed to prosper, anti wonderful cutes
of dread diseases were ascribed to the
influence of the Utile idol.
In the year 1760 the French bark I.’Es
perance lay In llte Gulf of Tonquln. Rome
of her crew, having been given shore
leave, discovered the little shrine, and In
the twilight of the interior, mistaking the
semi-precious stones and tiny metal mirr
ors set In the cincture which garlanded
the calm brows of the god for Jewels of
price, plotted to ravish the shrine and
steal the Image. Bate that night a boat
set out from I,'Espe ranee, and under tover
of darkness, the conspirators gained the
whore. The temple was reached without
incident, and one Jean Pltou, the boat
swain, walking boldly to the front of the
apparently deserted temple and followed
by the rest of the men plucked the bronze
from Its pedestal. HO then dropped It in
to the open mouth of a Itag held in read
iness by the ship’s boy.
Natives Housed to Fury.
While the robbers were quietly chuck
ling among themselves at their success
something leaped forth from the gloom,
and I’ltou, with a sobbing cry, fell,
stabbed to the heart, instantly the little,
temple was alive with men, who grappled
with the sailors. One of the la I tor whipped
the sack from the bunds of the boy and
ran for his/ life. The ship's boy was quick
ly illspati bed and his shrill cries rang
through the night, Two others of the
party remained: one of these. In. his con
fusion, ran directly away from the beach
and apparently escaped, whlie (he last of
the party was stabbed In the abdomen.
Two men had bien left In charge of the
beached boat and as the hunted traitor.
Mill encumbered with his bag, came leap
ing down the beach, pursued by half a
dO/.en of the lightly sleeping end now
thoroughly aroused natives, frenzied at
the Indignity rffered their tllvlnily, the
sailors in the boot fired, but without ef
fect. The fugitive threw the bog Into
the boat, and, putting his shoulder to the
Itow, pushed her off into the water. The
men In her sprang to their oars and pull
ed clear Just as a mighty stroke from *he
short sword of the foremost in pursuit
clove the last of the unfortunate man
men from . town to chin. The others In
the boat reached the ship In safety, and
Just as dawn was breaking the sailor v.ho
had tun Into the woods swam back to the
ship, mounting how the crew had been
butcheted.
Found Its Way to America.
Those on board were horror-struck, and,
Ignorant, superstitious mariners, they
thoflght the Idol had been the cause of all
their misfortunes, and would have thrown
It overboard bail not the captain, Marie
Robert Montfaueon, confiscated |t. Wren
he reached Havre ho found from a dealer
In gems that the stones with whlcn It hud
lieen garnlsned were of little value He
sold It to an English collector of curio.*,
from whom It descended to Its last owner,
who presented It to Mr. Richardson.
The Idol Is of rich, reddish brostse, about
twenty Inches In diameter, partly hollow
