Allen drlfted rapidly at a height OF

car was dashed into the water. but
each time Allen threw over ballas,
and the balloon rose.
At daybreak no land was In sight.
The captain OF tug towing string

going too rapidly, and soon the yes

little old cabin and wandered over
the mountains hereabout In quest OF

II was always supposed by those
Who knew him. or rather by those who
saw him, for no one hereabouts knew
him, that Overhardt was mentally un.
balanced and that he was extremely
poor. In the twenty.odd years that he
made his home In the little old cabin
on the mountalnside he never spoke
OF his own free will to any person,
never raised his eyes to look into
those OF a man or woman with whom
he met face to face and never bought
groceries or clothing at store In
Twin Bridges or any other town In
this part OF Montana.
The furniture in the one room OF his
cabin was of the meanest sort. The
clothing upon the old mans back was
shabbier than the furniture In his
cabin. A dog was the hermit's only
friend and companion. For the dog he
seemed to cherish a deep. warm af.
lection, while the faithful animals
love for him was well.nigh human In
Its tenderness and consistency.
The strange. silent old man fell III
a few weeks ago In his shabby little
cabin on the mountain side and could
not leave his bed thereafter. No one
knew he was III until the day he died
when a prospector. happening to pass
that way. stopped at his door to ask
for drink Of water and found him
dying. Before doctor could be
reached the hermit went 10 his final
rest.
A careful seagch OF the dead mans
cabin brought to light rusty tin box
containing few gold coins and the
letters and papers which tell In part
the story OF his life before he came
west to spend his declining years In
loneliness.
Roscoe 0vcrhardt was born In Ger.

was a wellto-do merchant In Berlin
and he gave his son a university edu.

won her lonsent to marry him.
