A KISS BROUGHT HIM A FORTUNE
Impulsive Act of a Man Resulted in
His Getting a Girl With Three
Millions.
\V Arthur Byrnes of Sydney, Aus-
iralia, kissed his way into a fortune.
The route chosen by him was not tho
route of the penniless but handsome
young man who weds a girl with
oceans of money. Tor the girl that
Byrnes kissed not only objected to
his act. but had no money. Her face
was her fortune—and. as it proved,
also the fortune of Byrnes.
Perhaps it is not advisable for other
young men to try the method adopted
by the Sydney young man, but in
Byrnes' case ft worked well, after a
bad start, and after he had paid his
last cent to settle a police court fine
of S30U and costs, which he consid-
ered high, even for the privilege of
kissing a pretty girl, he came into
a fortune estimated ar over $3,000,000
and one of the finest estates in New
South Wales, besides English prop-
erty. And despite the fact that the
kiss she so unwillingly gave the
handitome young Englishman brought
him his fortune, and the fact that he,
In his new-found wealth offered to
share it with her. Miss Beth Arletgh
has refused him
The story of the kiss that brought I
Byrnes his fortune t» of the stran-
gest and most romantic ever told—
and ft Is true, because the courts of
Sydney nave turned over to him the
fortune Otherwise, people might
doubt tt.
Byrnes, it seems, is tb*‘ younger
son of an Englishman of poor finan-
cial condition He would have in-
herited part of ihe Irish estate of hts ■
paternal grandfather but for the fact
that hi? own father wasted the money
and mortgaged the land. His older
brother who inherited what was left
of the estate and all the debts,
promptly got rid or the remainder,
and died, whereupon young Byrnes,
who had thrown away what little
money he had In an extravagant and
sportive university career, went out to
Australia.
He did not. prosper much iu ihe new
country. Handsome, talented, clever,
and with the blarney of his Irish an-
cestors mingled with the shrewdness
of his Yorkshire mother, he led a
happy-go-lucky, adventurous life in
the bush country. He served in the
constabulary, worked as a herder,
spent a few months iu the gold camps,
clerked in a store in Melbourne, wan-
dered all over Australia, rolling much
and gathering little moss, and finally
landed In Sydney, almost penniless,
and found work' as salesman for a
small importing Ann
