CAST ASIDE MANY MILLIONS. This Singular Titled Austrian Refused to Disclose His Identity When Hit Good Fortune Became Known, and His Fate Is an Unsolved Mystery. Tliu Krench Foreign Ix'glou Is tlio most picturesque military organization In tlio world. It is the rW'iige of men of nil nations gom wrong through Im pulse or Misfortune who wish to linry themselves In oblivion wlille llgntlug to regain un honorable pliiou In the world of life and activity Tim rank and tile oi the corps Is composed of princes, dukes, marquises, counts mid viscounts, generals and of ficers of all grades, all arms, of the armies of all countries, muglfltrntes. financiers, diplomats, lawyers and professional functionaries of all sorts; honest adventurers who simply want to "see the world;" the neurasthenic, the disheartened, the ummiploycd: those who. having lost everything but honor or" having lost honor Itself, would make u new start All this diverse human metal, thrown Into the melting pot together. Is. even tunlly molded Into that brave, stole, loyal, devoted, patient and teniictous prototype of the man of arms, the Legionary. Of the Foreign Legion a thousand romantle tales an; told, of which the following true story may bo taken as an example: One day General Itruneau. command er of the loglMii. received a registeted letter, postmarked Vienna and slgucu by the representative of a well known Austrian detective agency, to the fol lowing effect: Monsieur 1e General-Will you kindly In form mo if a younB man of Austro-Ilun-gnrlnn nationality, supposed to hnve en listed In the Foreign LcRlon under the name of Justus Perth. Is now at Sadln? You will understand the Interest wo hnvc In finding him when I Inform you con fidentially that In consequence of unfore seen happenings ho has beiomn, without his knowlcdKC or expectation, solo heir to a fortuno of 13,000.000 frowns. Inclosed Is a photoKraph taken when ho wus a stu dent at tho University of Prague. The photograph showed n stocky youth of perhaps twenty to twenty-two years of nge nnd whose somewhat beefy face was fringed with precocious whiskers. Tie wore eyeglasses, which made It dlflleult to Judge of the form and shndu of tils eyes. General Brunenu's first step was to have his secretary-adjutant search the enlistment rolls for the name of Jus tus Perth. No such nnmo appeared. Then ho had all tho Austrlans of the detachment lino up and sennned their faces in the hope of Identifying the original of the photograph. Only two, both of whom were recent arrivals, showed possible traits of resemblance, nnd these in a very imperfect degree. These two Austrlanft were closely examined by Dhuerinor. tho secretary, who spoke the German language flu ently. Both denied stubbornly that they had ever used or heard of tho name of .Justus Perth. "Possibly It may loosen your tongues." pursued the secretary. "If I tell you why the general Is looking for this Perth. The fellow has Just inher ited 12.000,000 crowns. Now, is either one of you Justus Perth?" "Nein." "Nelu." "Send tlwm imek lo their companies. It is of no use." said General Jiruneau Time passed and the Incident hnd been forgotten when in 1002 there came to Hruneau a formidable looking envelope bearing the government nl of the minister of foreign affairs. I incloseil a letter which drew front the officer an exclamation of surprise. This letter was a diplotnatie para phrase of tho former Inquiry by tho Vienna secret service agency regarding Justus Perth It insisted upon fur ther investigation, to be conducted with more care and discretion than in tho previous Instance. Furthermore, the commandant was confidentially ad vised thnt "Justus Perth" was only a fictitious name and that the real title of the person to be found at any price was Count Otto vou X. Another photograph, more recent "than the one which had accompanied the first Inquiry, was appended. "No sooner did I set eyes on this pho togroph." continued Pruncau, "than 1 made the astounding discovery that the Count Otto von X.. tho pseudo Justus Perth, was none other than the secretary-adjutant, Dhuermer, who hnd so energetically questioned the two bewildered Austrlans called up be fore mo on the former occasion! "My course was now simple enough. Shortly after that (list Interrogatory our secretary-Interpreter. Dhuermer, had been transferred to Tonkin. In regular course of the unrtual relief of the battailous serving there. This In formation 1 wired to headquarters. "Next day the response came: "Legionary Dhuermer sent homo ac count of health, en route Singapore. "Another cipher telegram to tho French consul nt Singapore brought the following: "Legionary Dhuermer, alias Count Otto i-nn V fllafinnnnrixl frnm trnnsnnrt steam er, rondstund of Slngaporn; cannot be I found "And the mystery remains unsolved to this day."
