Stories about misers are sometimes
exaggerated, but it has been verified
that a beggarwoman, named Marie
Leret, who has died at Versailles, left
behind her in gold and bonds about
$4,000. The money vas found in an
old cupboard in the howell wherein the
deceased had lived for I'VE half a cen
fury. Marie Leret was eighty-three
years old. and was one Of the most
successful mendicants of the day. She
begged p%ersistently at church doors,
in the streets, at the railway stations,
and received, moreover, substantial
gifts from charitably- disposed per-
SONS, who had no idea that they were
assisting a miser. OF the sum found.
nearly $4,000 in gold fell out of a
long stocking, the remainder being in
various securities, Of which the divi-
dend warrants had not been utilized
for eighteen years.
