THE HERMIT's TALE
BY MARY W. PERRY. la.


l wandered lonely DER wind swept fells
Where a castle of old in ruin lay,
Where every lark a story tells.
And the air whispers low Of an ancient
day.
The very land seemed an aftermath,
sinking sun of glory past;
Till lighted upon n hermit's hut,
OF human dwellings the very last.
1 entered and the hermit found
An ancient man with cross and gown
OF rough. black weave and wide, long
sleeve
Who ne'er had dwelt in manor or town.
He set before me a meager meal,
Counting his golden rosary Ger;
A tale from the castles Oldest lore.
80 traveller, from my hut you see
Yon castle on the hill;
The gate is torn from its hinges now,
Deserted the cold, stone sill.
But once the castle held youth and
A lady dwelt therein:
And goodly was she and fair to see
And she knew naught of sin
up rode to the gate one bright spring
day
When no vassaI or serf was there
A recreant knight I'm full mail digit,
And rode on with the lady fair.
The lady fair had a bold lover.
That was comedy, brave and leal;
And when he heard say OF her riding
away,
He grasped his sword Of steel.
HE fought the knight in middle flight,
A bloody fight fought he;
And he cast him from his high war
horse,
Down, down into the sea.
"A cliff, 1t was the fighting place,
Beyond the castle-hill:
BY the castle windows looked upon.
And the wind blew loud and shrill.
"The young knight took the lady's hand,
And led her home again;
And over all that barren land
Echoed their wedding strain.
"And now the lady is cold in death,
The knight has followed her;
That is the castle, and the tale
I've told, q traveller"
He fell to counting the beads again:
Pensive / gazed on the eascle-hill:
/ rose. and HE'D me home again
To the din. the moan and the roar OF
the mill

who claimed afterwards that they
had watched noticed coal freighter
appearing on the tracks. Just two
seconds later AIobb caught a swift
inshoot on the nose. The ball few
through the air and almost disap-
peared from sight. The excited and
frenzied Eastley fans" quickly arose
as one from their seats and stood in
tense silence that lasted until the
ball began its downward flight.
A Mighty shout Goes Up.
Then a mighty shout went up from
500 Threats as the bali landed finally
amidst a bed of coal on a freight car
that moved Slowly but surely away
from the scene.
Banners. hats and even coats were
thrown into the air, and general con-
fusion reigned IN the grandstand on
Eastley's side. Mobb was the hero of
the hour. The final score read, East
ley. 6; Melville. 5.
In the dressing room great excite
ment and interest prevailed over
isis Mobb. Who's Mobb?"
Where does he come frorn?'' Did
he ever play mere. DelDIe+ were Solile
of the questions asked of each other.
But no one seemed to know.
Mobb was nowhere 10 be seen after
the game. Suddenly the door was
flung open and Coach Cloverdale ap-
peared. holding telegram in his left
hand. Boys, let me tell you that
you had the honor of playing with
the son Of 81 Mobb. the greatest base
ball player now living" he exclaimed
excitedly.
A period Of silence and then. well,
it's in de blood, fellersi" came from
the waterboy.
But Mobb continued following his
course in a big league under his
famous parents tutelage. His father
had intended to have his son grind"
for some learned profession and had
sent him to small school with the
idea that the temptation to play
baseball wouldn't be so alluring, but

RAILROAD WON IN RECENT
POSTAL TEST SUIT TRIED

Atlanta, June 20.-The whole fallacv
of the United States Postal Depart
ments attitude toward the railroads
with relation to the "divisor" question
and the remuneration which the roads
receive for hauling the mails, is set
forth in decision by the U. S. court
of claims handed down this month, AMI
just received by leading railroad men
of this territory.
The suit was brought by the Chicago
and Alton Railroad Company, and q
verdict was rendered in the railroad :
favor for specific damages in the sum
of $50 ,604S4.
The postal department contended
that it had paid the sums specified I'M
der postal order and that this was
proper compensation, and that the
railroad had received formal notice of
this order.
The court set us in answer to the
defendants contention that a regula-
ton contrary to law has no force, and
that it made no difference whether the
plaintiff had knowledge of it or not.
The railroads have long contendei
that the whole basis on which the
amount of compensation is fixed IS
fundamentally wrong, and that the
roads are forced to lose hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually by being
underpaid.
The decision of the court of claims
is one of the most notable recognitions
yet obtained of the justice of the rail-
roads contention.
