BEGcARS MAKE EASY MONEY
Numbers Of Them on City Streets Are
Men With Comfortable Bank
Accounts.

There has long been q suspicion J
that many supplicants for charity
might not be so destitute as they
seemed, and the case of a Syrian ped
dler named Lukisi Habab recently
fined in Brooklyn confirmed the suspi-
cion for once at least. Habab hap
pened to make his pitiful pleading to
Magistrate Mcguire, who give him 80
cents to buy food. Later Habab was
carried to Long Island City hospital.

but they have learned that there is no

youth, and now. according to Brunei,
there wasn't much use!"
Pitchoune was bandaged around his
hind quarters and his adorable little
head and forepaws came out Of the
handkerchief bandage.
HE won't eat anything from me,
mon Capitaine," said Brunei, and
Sabron tremendously opened the pup
py's mouth and thrust down a dose.
Pitchoune swallowed obediently.
Sabron had just returned from a
long hard day with his troops, and
tired out as he was, he forced himself
to give his attention to Pitchoune. A
second invitation to dinner lay on his
table; he had counted the days until
this night. 1t seemed too good to be
true, he thought, that another picture
was to add itself to his collection! He
had mentally enjoyed the others
often, giving preference to the first,
when he dined at the chateau; but
there had been a thrill in the second
caused by the fluttering of the white
dress down by the poplar walk.
Tonight he would have the pleasure
OF taking in Miss Redmond to dinner.
See, mon Capitaine," said Brunei,
"the poor little fellow can't swallow
It,"
The water trickled out from either
side of Pitchoune's mouth. The sturdy
terrier refused milk in all forms, had
done SO since Sabron weaned him; but
Sabron now returned to his nursery
days, made Brunei fetch him warm
milk and, taking the quill, dropped 9
few drops of the soothing liquid. into
which he put dash of brandy, dowr
Pitchouue's throat. Pitchoune swal
lowed, got the drink down, gave 6
feeble yelp, and closed his eyes. Wher
he opened them the glazed look hat

now open, followed his handsome mas

he gave pathetic yelp which made
the capitaine turn about.

Dead Man Took Last Bible.

The stock of Bibles at one Of the
big hotels has run out. At some New
York hotels there is one in every room,
but the number at this particular no
tel was limited to two, except such
as were owned by the guests. A few
weeks ago a man borrowed one and
took it away with him when he left
town.
Yesterday the custodian of the books
called up the room clerk.
What has become Of the gentle
man who was in No. 495? He borrowed
last week the sole remaining Bible

The clerk looked over the address

Horses Tell Of Tragedies.

The body Of Samuel L. Archer, a
prominent farmer of Plumsted IN. d.
township, was found lying dead in
the road near his home. He was seen
by his neigbbors about the place
early in the morning, and about ten
o'clock he went for drive into the
country. When his horse came back
without him search was immediate
ly made for the missing man and his
body was found. Although there were
some bruises, 1t Is not known wheth.
er there was foul play.
There is a peculiar coincidence in
the fact that his son, Nelson Archer
was killed in almost exactly the same
way about two years ago. His horse
also came home without him.

bitterly denounced the situation of the
site by exclaiming, THE wastes are so
bleak, the spot so barren and dry. that

which the city will be built.
The report Of the commission ap-
pointed to visit various sites, says this
of Yass-Canbarra: 1T forms per-
feet amphitheater in which the city
would be surrounded by glorious hills"
It was decided the world should
have q chance to compete in a plan
to lay out the city. Descriptions Of
the area were worked out to the most
minute detail. They were drawn by
the surveyor general to the common
wealth and sent to the British consuls
of the world, with the result that hun
dreds Of plans from many countries
poured into the department before the
time limit expired. These were stud
led and sorted out by a committee,
which reduced the real competing
number to about half dozen. There
were three prizes offered. The first
was carried of by an enterprising
young architect from Chicago, Walter
Burley Griffin, who is under three
years engagement to the Australian
government to put his plans into exc
cution.

The site Is still rather cut off from

travel; but when the railway connects
the place with other lines, 1t will form
the trunk between Sydney and Mel
bourne, shortening the present dis
lance by some eighty miles.

CHAPTER II.
Julia Redmond,

He remembered all his life the first
dinner at the Chateau d'Esclignac,
where from the terrace he saw the
Rhone lying under the early moon
light and the shadows falling around
the castle of good King Rene.
AS he passed in, his sword clanking
for he went in full dress uniform to
dine with the Marquise dEsclignac-
he saw the picture the two ladies made
in their drawing-room: the marquise
in very splendid dress (Which he
never could remember) and her niece
a young lady from a country whose
name it took him long to learn to pro-
| nounce, in a dress SO simple that of
course he never could forget it! He
remembered for great many years
the fall of the ribbon at her pretty
waist, the bunch of sweet peas at her
girdle, and he always remembered the
face that made the charm of the pic
ture.
| Their welcome to him was gracious.
The American girl spoke French with
an accent that Sabron thought be-
l5wilderingly charming, and he put aside
some of his reserve and laughed and
talked at his ease. After dinner (this
he remembered with peculiar distinct
ness) Miss Redmond sang for him, and
although he understood none of the
words of the English ballad. he learned
the melody by heart and 1t followed
with him when he left. 1t went with
him as he crossed the terrace into the
moonlight to mount his horse; 1t went
home with him; he hummed 1t, and
when he got up to his room he hummed
it again as he bent over the little roll
Of flannel in the corner and fed the
puppy hot milk from a quill.
This was painstaking operation
and required patience and delicacy
both of which the big man had at his
f1nger-tips. The tune of Miss Red
mond's song did for lullaby and the
puppy fell comfortably to sleep while
Sabron kept the picture of his eve
ning's outing contentedly in his mind
But later he discovered that he wal
not so contented, and counted thu
hours when he might return.
He shortly made a call at the Cha
teau d'Esclignac with the result tina
he had a new picture to add to his col
lection. This time 1t was the pictur
Of lady alone; the MarQuise d'Es
clignac doing tapestry. While Sabrol
found that b had grown reticen
again, he listened for another step an
another voice and heard nothing; bu
before he took leave there was hin
Of second invitation to dinner.
The marquise was very handsom
that afternoon and wore yet anothe
bewildering dress. Sabror's simpl
taste was dazzled. Nevertheless, sh
made a graceful picture, one Of bea'
d ty and refinement. and the young SO
r der took it away with him. AS hl
10 horse began to trot, at the end Of tn
It alley, near the poplars at the lowe
e. end Of the rose terrace he caught
1t glimpse Of white dress (u.Aoub,sdl
r a simpler dress than that wa b
g. Madame d'Esclignac).

small wire-haired Irish terrier had
Owen birth to a fine family and her
self gone the way of those who do
heir duty to a race. In the straw at
his feet sabron saw q ratlike. unpre-
possessing little object, crawling about
foebly In search of warmth and nour-
ishment. uttering pitiful little cries.
Its extreme loneliness and helpless
ness touched the big soldier, who said
ourtly to his man:

how to feed 1t / should not be sur
prtssd II could induce 1t to take a
little warm milk from a quill. At all
events We shall have a try with it.

ing his order to be executed, he

called q word In the meridional patois:

Of the great project and her visit to

When the colonies Of Australia fed

commonwealth government. they nat
urally bethought themselves as to
what they should do with it. From
the day Of federation, for almost ten
years. the matter of the locality OF
the capital was vexed question,
which hinged entirely upon sectional
jealousy and ambition. The bitter
fight waxed fierce between the states
of Victoria and New South Wales as
to whether Sydney or Melbourne
should have the honor and advantage
In order to bring harmony out OF
chaos, 1t was determined to found q

The great soul of Australia breathes
an atmosphere all it's own. Still there
is nothing whatever purely Australian
in type or character which the people
have produced-neither in art. litera

the country is young, but, even SO
there are no evidences of originality
with the exception of the idea OF build

Prosperity 10 Astounding.
Australia is a great land, a country
Of sunshine, fruit and flowers; an
island SO rich in natural resources aa
to astound the world with its recent
years of unprecedented prosperity.
Wealth abounds. It Is the natural
home of the working man, the field OF
opportunity for women, reeking in q
spirit of undirected democracy, ex-
perimenting in impossible and wild
legislation, for which the people must
pay in one way or another.
The intention Is to make It q work,

all. No reason why the toiler should
not have his just share of production
he should; but unframed, inexperi-
enced men cannot hop from unsuc'

the nation. There IL great lack OF
