lack of verisimilitnde. One night in 1901,
a little girl about one year old was depos-
tied in the drawer of the founding asylum
at Brest. She was dressed with much f.
nery. and a note, attached To- her skirts,
told that her name was Solange. and that
she would be reclaimed by her father. The
clam was never made, however, and in
due time the child was transferred to the
orphan asylum, to be educated there. AS
she grew up she developed almost extraor-
tlinary beauty, but her intellect appeared
to be very weak, and she suffered from fTe-
auent nervous fits. When she was twelve
years old she was sent out into the streets
to sell flo owers, and her beauty and modesty
attracted many people sgood win, but she
grew weaker and weaker, and che died.
According 70 French customs she was bur-
led IN an open casl1et, and, IS it was winter
and the soil was frozen, she was laid in the
grave, only covered with thin layer of
| sand. During the night she .awoke, and
pushing the sand away, she crept out OF
the grave. Not exactly understanding
| what had taken place, she was nat SO very
much frightened, but in crosang the
| gIacis between the cemetery and tho fOTti-
lcations, she was suddenly stopped by the
outcry 'Qui vive," and as she did not
answer, the sentinel fred and she fell to
the ground Brought into the guard
house her wound was found TO be but
slight, and she soon recovered, but her sim
| gular history and also her great beauty
had made deep impression on . Young
! lieutenant OF the garrison tKramer), and
he determined to be her protector, and sent
her to one OF the most fashionable educa-
tional establishments in Paris. During the
4 next two years Kramer was much tossed
about by the war, but when in 1918 he re-
: turned to Paris, he found Solange a full
grown woman, not only beautiful, but ac.
complished and spirited, with no more
traces of intellectual weakness or nervon'
Its. He married her, and for several years
the couple lived happily in Paris. Mean
while Investigations were made concerning
: the girl left in 1901 in thu Founding Hos
:: pita at Brest, and as these investig gations
. were made by the Swedish Ambassador
and in a somewhat official manner, they ut
sractsd some attention. Captain Krame
