The story Uronkritc toilet is strangely ro- mantle. Caspar Croukrlte, the rich man- ufneturer of Holland gin, was disappoint- ed in love in his youth. It soured his dis- position and made him a very eccentric individual. His brothers, Jacob and James, who had benignssocinted with him for yours. tired of his irnsciblilty and left him, coming to this country. Caspar went on amassing riches. but he evidently could not llvo happily without his broth- ers. Ono day he wrote to them and naked thetttto return to Holland. 'l‘hoy refused to go back, and Cuspar's brotherly love then turned to the bitterest hato.
