THE ACTOR HERMIT.

came unbalanced, and while yet in the
prime OF life he abandoned his profess
sion and sought the semisolitude which
has now grown to be a habit with him.
1t may be remarked that no one knows
his real name. That of John Smith is
an alias, and he frankly acknowledges
that he has taken every precaution to
conceal his identity. He visits nobody,
but during the past few years manly
people have been to see him. He is a
sort of local fad, and the folks thereabout
almost love him. The old mans hair
and beard are white as snow. He de-
lights to chat with visitors, and on
pleasant Sundays of summer and autumn
the grounds around his little cottage are
covered with scores of teams and hun
dreds of visitors.
For the time being the grounds are
converted into picnic grove, and the
old man shares the hospitality of his
visitors, tells them quaint stories, and in
return they give him the remnants of
their feasts and little gratuities, and pur-
chase the photographs of himself and
his cats.
In the winter the old man is genuine
hermit, so far as human beings are con-
cerned, but in and around his cabin he
has no less than dozen cats, to say
nothing OF the wildcats that every little
while are killed on the surrounding
hills, and he is as proud of "Jim Fisk"
and ssLady Ann" as ever fond mother
was of her first born twins.
The house which he occupies was
formerly woodchopper's shanty, and it
is little better now. The boards inside
the living room are covered with play
bills and pictorial printing.

The Romance of an Actor.

Love made a recluse of man who is
now three-quarters of a century old, and
who has avoided his fellows for nearly
thirty years. He calls himself John
Smith, and his hermitage is in the noun
tains not far from Erving, Mass.
He was an actor and she was an &C
tress. They were engaged, quarreled
and separated. The lovers mind be-
