When his will was opened it was found that he had left all his money to his “beloved niece Flora Collin,” requesting his execu- tors to find her, and mentioning the fact that he believed her to be in Notices were put in the papers of that city inquiring whether a lady bearing the name above mentioned was existing in the Sultan's dominions, and, if such was Constantinople. the case, requesting her to present herself at the Belgian Embassy for identification. Twenty-four hours later a gorgeous equipage, escorted by mounted eunuchs,stopped at the portals of the embassy and a veiled lady sent word to the Ambassador that she wished to see him at once on a matter of importance. Brought into his presence she stated that she was Flora Collin, and had been mar- ried for the past 14 years to the present. Sultan Abdul Hamid having fallen in love at first sight with the beautiful modiste who had come to fit on his mether’s dresses, married her almost immediately. and ever since she has been his only legul wife. It may be of interest to add that the Sultana renounced her un- cle’s inheritance in fayor of her fam- ly in Belgium, an act of generosity which has made the poor people happy for life.

How a Shrewd Shoplifter Utilized a Tame Rat. *There have been many extraordinary stories told of the ingenuity of thieves in the pursuit of their nefarious calling, but aecase which occurred while I was at Chatham recently beats anything I ever heard,” remarked a newly-arrived Englishman to a Philadelphia Inquirer man. “A girl was brought before the police court on the charge of robbing milliners’ shops. She was only fourteen years of age and of very innocent ap- pearance. What puzzled the magistrate was that none of the witnesses ever saw her take anything. or ct lcast they would not swear to it. although after she had left a shop where she had been making a purchase articles of value were missed. When arrested nothing was found upon her.
