This Singular Titled Austrian Refused
to Disclose His Identity When Hit
Good Fortune Became Known, and
His Fate Is an Unsolved Mystery.

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."
Around their campflres In tho Sahara
what tales might not be told If ever
theso silent, Impassive Trapplsts of ac
tion should but speak their stories!
