made his home in small shack, liv-
ing the life of hermit He seemed
to have no desires or cares, except the
amassing of fortune, and the saving
of money. Recently failing health
forced him away from his meager
home, and he took up his abode with
neighbors. He was cared for in the
best manner possible, but during all
the time never once intimated reasons
for his actions, although they were
the talk and speculation of the en-

his pocket purse clutched in his hand.
He was always very lenient with

and was never known to foreclose a

pay as much as S1.00 on the amount.
He died Tuesday morning about
o'clock after very short illness.
One of his last requests was that he
be buried in the very best possible
way, and that no expense be spared in
his burial. He also requested that
his remains be shipped back to his old

that his dealings were very secret, and

and who were acquainted with him,
the impression has been formed that
his holdings would amount to several
hundred thousand dollars, and scme
have even estimated his fortune at a
million dollars. He used several banks
in this section for repositories of his

Automatic Soda Fountain
Has Been Invented

An automatic soda fountain has
been patented by a resident of Hous-
ton, Tex, which is operated merely, by
dropping the proper coin into a SLOT
according to the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Contained in an attractive
wooden cabinet are three anks, one
filled with syrup, another with car
bonic-acid gas and third, which is
surrounded with ice, is filled with
water. There is also container filled
with parafiine cups. When coin is
dropped into the slot, it releases three
delicately alanced levers, one after
the other. The first allows cup to
drop from the container into an OPEN
ing, where it is within reach of the
customer and beneath two spouts
When the coin passes the next lever
1T releases a spring-operated appara-
tus that allows the proper amount of
syrup to flow down into the cup. The
third lever operates in the same man
ner as the second and allows a little
lesse than a cupful of iced carbondat-
ed water to flow into the cup. In this
way the drink is properly mixed in a
sanitary way and supplied to the Gus
toner without human aid.

Mrs Gilman turned to me. "And
you, too?" she asked
Again Mr.. Norton came to my res
cue. "She will go this year." he said.
I'VE have not been so fortunate as
to have her with us during other sum-
mers."
But your sister, Mrs. Gore, lives
with you all the year around, does
she not?" Mrs. Gilman questioned.
"She is your only sister,"
/ was sure | had never heard an
other woman ask so many questions.
If L had not been subtly conscious
that she was on thin ice 1 might have
thought her interest but natural.
Mrs. Gore is my sister-in-law-
my wife's sister," my employer eX-
planned. Yes, l am lucky in having
her with me both in the city and
country
Then, as Mrs. Havens made some
remark about his little girl, he be-
gan to talk eagerly of the child. l
was sure that his zest was not alone
due to his devotion to his daughter
although this was deep and sincere.
But he desired to escape her in
terrogation, upon unwelcome topics.
Yet even l was not then aware that
there was anything that might en-
barrass him in Mrs. Gilman's next
question.
Away at School
you have a son, you say. Are he
and the girl near the same age?"
II have one son." was the answer.
"He is nine years older than Grace"
And he is away at boarding
school? What a pity there is such a
difference in the childrens ages! Has
he been away from home for long?"
For about seven yearS-eXcept at
vacation times" the man replied.
"Oh, poor child! How could his
mother bear to let him go when he
was so young? Or-was that-was
that after the children had lost their
mother?"
There was a perceptible pause be-
fore the host replied. Then he said
slowly, as if weighing his words:
Yes, it was after that. My little
girls mother left us when Grace was
a tiny baby. / considered it better for
the boy to be educated away from
home"
A sudden and incomprehensible
sense of compassion for this man who
was undergoing a cross
by an unthinling woman made me
cast myself into the breach.
Mrs. Gilman" l observed, Il sup
pose while you have been in New
York you have seen all the points OF
interest-the Metropolitan Museum oil
Art and the Museum of Natural His
tory? New Workers." I hurried on
ARE so Needless of the beautiful
things in their own city! Those of us
who live here don't stray into the
Metropolitan once q year, whereas If
we were in a foreign city we would
tire ourselves out visiting the picture
galleries again and again.
AS Mrs. Gilman launched forth
views as to certain pictures in the
Metropolitan, which she had visited
yesterday, 1 met my hosts eye. Was
mistaken in thinking that I saw
there CLEAN of gratitude?

Looking back, / wonder that L ac-
quilted myself so well during the first
few minutes at the supper table that
Sunday night
The remark I had overheard en-
barraSsed me, yet l showed no evil
dence of this until Mrs Gilman, the
other woman guest, said as she took
her seat at her hosts right hand:
"I agree with Mrs. Havens, Mr..
Norton. You are foRunate in having
in your home a sweet young relative
who can take your sisters place when
she is ill. L always tell my husband
that we are lucky in having a daugh-
ter who is old enough to preside when
l am away from home or under the
weather."
You are indeed fortunate" my en-
ployer said quickly. How many chill
dren have you?"
| was grateful to him for his prompt
speech, uttered, L knew, to save me
the necessity of replying to Mrs. Gill
mans observation. Was he also more
than willing to have his guests con-
slider me a relation of his? 1t did not
occur to me that perhaps he had
spoken of me as q cousin in order to
be spared the explanation that l was
only his daughters governess.
BY the time my flushed cheeks had
cooled and my heart had begun to
beat again with its accustomed regu-
larity, the conversation had turned in
another direction, and l was no longer
startled by personalities.
But / was much interested in what
was being said. These people talked
well. l took my part when necessary;
at other times l listened. l listened
with especial intentness when Mrs.
Gilman asked the host if he had al

A Country Home, Too
But" Mr.. Havens said, didn't you
tell me that you have country home
in the East?"
"Yes, in Connecticut" Mr.. Norton
Informed him. I'VE spend all our
summers there. We have done so for
many years-even when my home was
in Chicago"
THAT was strange" Mrs. Gilman
observed. Few families would care
to go all that distance TO rthe sum-
mer."
Perhaps not" her host returned.
''But my children are fond of the
place, and it agrees with their
health"
But how" questioned the woman,
did you, living out in Chicago, hap
pen to buy property up in Connecti-
cut?"
MY wife came from Hartford"
was the brief response. She owned
some land therein Ltchfield county
so we built there. And as she loved
the spot, and the children continue to
