Mi.rcau. who was said to have been
connected with some of the best fami-
lies in France and TO have possessed
considerable means until ruined by the
Panama canal disaster. was one OF the
best friends the beggars OF Paris ever
had. and to obtain funds for helping
them he became a systematic thief. He
used to frequent the fashionable streets
uuring the day and pick pockets, and
by night. dressed In rugged clothes, he
dispensed the spells TO the first beg
gars he met. For years he continued
the practice without being suspected.
and 1t was by pure chance that he
eventually did fall into the hands OF
the police. When his lodgings were
searched sufficiently empty purses were
found to Ill large packing case, and
It was made clear that be had stolen
