eccentric individual, whose identity is
as mysterious as the cloud that appar-

neighborhood and is attracting no little
attention by his mode of remaining in
existence. In daytime he travels around
the town and through the generosity
of some of the residents he secures eat

old abandoned gravity track, where he
lives the secluded life of hermit. His
