That true stories of real Ife are stranger than the fictions of the nov*lists Is doubtless true, but It Is only occasion ly that these romaie *s of real life are brought to light. It apt** irs that one of this sirt Is to develop in Savannah short ly This story has all the detail;- of i romance, and like the old-fashloned nov els. the ending Is very pleasant. What Int* reals the iader of the Morning New.* is that It Is !o* a ted in Savannah and Ihe parties are doubtless well known here. Their names cannot be mad** public as yet. however. The story, as It romes to the Morning News from a reliable source Is that in hWu an KnglumnMii <ntd his wife came to this country on an extended tour. They were accompanied by a nurse Some time was s|K'ut in Savannah, and from here the parti** went to Atlanta. There the wife died, leaving the bereaved husband with an Infant daughter. Together with the nurte and his Infant daughter, the husband returned to Sa vannah. and here he. too. died, leaving the nurse In charge of the child. The Englishman was evidently a nun of mean*, os he seems to have had consid erable funds with him. and |eihaps pa lters which gave possession of other prop erty. Instead of returning to England with th*- little orphan and placing her In charge of relatives there, the woman pla< e*l the child in an asylum and re turned to England, taking with her the luiiiia which should have gone to llm- sup port and education of the girl. From th*- foundling ss.vium the child was transferred to one of the orphan asy lums of the illy, in Which sh grew to young womanhood and irom which she probably w nt forth to some place of em ployment. Anyway she had the fortune to mett *i lover, and In due time they were married. The couple has since te - id* <| In this city and have several chil dren. The husband is in the employ of one of the rabroad.*. The nurse, who had left the orphaned Infant behind I er In a foundling asylum in Savannah, returned to England and retm* to have pro#p red with her ill got ten gains. Decently a letter wag^receive 1 by a law firm In this city, from a firm of London solicitors, making Inquiries as to th** infant which had been so heartlessly left behind forty >ears ago. and giving name* and detail* which made It possible :o trace the record of the former found ling with little dim ultv. The letter stat'd that a woman who had recently died th* re. had made a state ment shortly prevlou* to her death, ‘.n whli h she told how she had acquired a fortune by leaving b hind her In a found ling asylum here the Infant child of her dead master and mistress and concealing the fact of the child’s existence She desired to atone for h#r misdeed by leav ing to the one she had so misused. If still living, the fortune which >*he had acquire 1 at her expense This fortune Is stated to le valued at fcUO.Otf). These are only the bare fa ts of a case which doubtless po>#e*ses still more In teresting details Anyway, the fortunate woman at the Savannah end of the ln* has been located and the matter is being looked Into by attorneys here. I util the information contained In the letter ha* been fully corroborate*! the isittles prefer to keep their Identity h secret. There seems to Ik* no reason to doubt the in for rotation re* etved, however, as the fact* of the history of the fortunate recipient if thlf* end of the line, so far as known o herself and others, corroborate the state m**nra made In the letter. From modest circumstances to for tune of S3RMKB Is no small step and t very deair able one when there is • family on hand. If the fortune materialises, as it Is to Ik* ho|*ed It will, the woman who retained wrongful possession of It for *o long, will doubtless be forgiven by the lucky recipient. Th** siorv 1*- svmewh.f similar in many rrspe *ts to that told by Austin Davis, a variety actor, who was In Savannah not long since, and wno told a remarkable story of rmving recently discovered by tlu* death of the wornm whom he had always supposed to be his mother, that she wa* no: his mother, but his nurse who had taken |>oss-s|oi of him and his sister on the dcoth of his mother, who wa* separ ated from her husband, while the €'hlklren were in Infancy* By this fraud the wo man secured po*session of a considerable property which had beet) deeded to the deceased Mrs. I>avk hy wealthy relative* In Charleston. As Davis give name-, dates and iocrotiAn*. hts story seemed to l>e stmlght. though the life of the al -v* nturess who had passed ns his mother was such a tangled web 4hat N seemed almost im|w*s-lble to unravel it. • #lt IBD Jl HY TO HLEI’.
