FOUR RICH FOREIGN MIsERs.

Countries Across Sea.
In Austria q man who was without
feet or arms seven years ago, lacking
two months, sentenced to hard labor
for that terms Of years. Is said to be
well and hearty and with eager longing
looks forward to the day when he shall
be liberated. Simon Oppasich IL his
name. Born legless and armless. he
managed In the course Of fifty years
to make, purely by begging. 100000.
and this huge sum he was In the habit
Of carrying about with him by day and
hiding in the wall Of the cellar where
he slept by night. He got into trouble
with the Austrian police by declaring
that he was destitute and taking an
oath to that effect.
Lately In England died one Isaac Cor
don who had been a professional beg
gar. and when he was picked up lifeless
out Of the street 1t was found that he
had S15. 900 on his person. And writ

The miser Of the story book usually
boards his money In good red gold

the same type who died at Auxerre, In
France, In 1893, left a large sum In
bonds. but most Of his wealth he had
invested In rare wine. No less than 400
bottles Of one very choice vintage over

Yves brought home to her by a medita-
don on love and matrimony which fol-
bowed the receipt Of letter announc-
ing the engagement Of the only un-
married one Of her classmates. To be
sure, Alicia was younger than the other
girls, but she had come out the same
year.
ut is all very wen not to marry" she
said to herself in conclusion, but 1t is
odd not to attract single suitor There
must be something lacking in me- 1

men, but 1t is strange that men don't
Hike me. l can accomplish almost any
thing II 1 make up my mind to It,
will have a lover. l need not marry
him, Of course. but will have him des-
perately in love with me, so that shall
have an impassioned offer; then Will
oefuse him."
Alicia cast about her list of male ac-
0uaintances with a view to selecting a
suitable man for her experiment. FL
nally she chose Reggy De Greve. Reg
~ was a year younger than Alicia He
mas as frivolous as any girl and de-
Gdedly effeminate in his looks and
wnys. he had been one Of Lottie's nu-
merous admirers. In an impassive way,
but he had never gotten up courage to
propose to her. He had not been sure
that he wanted to do So Now he came
10 the house rather because he was used
to coming to see ''the ladies'" once In so
often. Alicia's mother was fond Of
him, for she had known him since he
was in dresses and she regarded him
as n boy. OF Alicia he stood somewhat
In awe.
"Reggy will be a good one to begin
with" thought that young woman. HE
will be easy to influence. After have
refused him I can try some one more
difficult"
Thus Miss Wellington began her ca
rser as q flirt. That evening Reggy
came to the house. he found Alicia
wonderfully interesting. She talked
about cotillon figures, pretty girls,
Judges. and golf. Reginald was in de-
mnnd as a cotillon leader. he was a
chevalier des danes. an expert chatting
dish cook, aad an aspiring golf player.
"Gwacious, l never thought she knew
20 much" he said to himself rs he left
the house. But this was only because
Alicia had displayed knowledge Of the
subjects with which Reggy was con-
Vsrsant, for he had always known tn;
she was intellectual"
II was scarcely a week before Reggy
again presented himself at the yelling
tons. He asked for Miss Wellington
instead of for the ladies'" He was un
conscious of the neglect of Mrs. Well
ington, but wary Alicia smiled when
she. alone, was summoned to the draw
ing-room-
"Oh, Mr. De Greve," she said-hereto
fore she had called him Reggy-''I an
SO glad to see you. l know you car
help me solve something that has been
worrying my poor brain"
She took a seat beside the young man
and submitted the something" that
had been worrying her. 1t was only
charade. an intricate one, however, to
which Alicia knew the answer. Regyy
did not suspect that and he was gooC
81 puzzles. He solved this one easily
and explained the elaborate process u
