is a hermit who lived ten years In
a cave for love OF one lady-to win
another"
The dancing pavilion extended
above the waters OF the river. Gay
lanterns and frosted globes shed a
soft glamor within it. A hundred
ladies and gentlemen from the inn
and summer cottage fitted in and
about IL. To the left Of the dusty
roadway down which the hermit had
tramped were the inn and grill
room. Something seemed TO be on
there, too. The windows were bril-
liantly lighted, and music was play
ing-music different from the two
steps and waltzes of the casino band.
A negro man wearing a white
jacket came through the iron gate.
with its immense granite posts and
wrought-iron lampholders.
What is going on here tonight?''
asked the hermit.
Wei. sah." said the servitor. "dey
IS having de regular Thursday eve
min dance in de casino. And in the
grill room dere's a beefsteak dinner,
sab"
The hermit glanced up at the inn
on the hillside whence burst sudden
~ a triumphant strain OF splendid
harmony.
And up there" said he, they are
playing Mendelssohn-wha is going
on up there"

one, de is a weddin' goin' on. Mr..

YOU We been "a darned fool o."
The hermit smiled behind his
tangled beard. He was and always
had been so superior TO the crude
and mercenagy Binkley thai even
his vulgarities could not anger him.
Moreover. his studies and media -
tiOns in his retreat had raised him
far above the little vanities OF the
world. His little mUuntainslde had
been almost an Olympus. over the
edge OF which ne saw. smiling. the
bolts hurled in the valleys of man

world had come 10 him the youngest
and eautifulest-fairer than Edith
one and three-sevenths times love-
Tier than the seven-years served
Rachel. SO the hermit smiled in
his beard.
When Binkiey had relieved the
hermitage from the blot of his pres
ence and the first faint star showed
above the pines. the hermit got the
can OF baking powder from his cup
board He still smiled behind his
beard.

doorway. There stood Edith Carr,
with all the added beauty and state
illness and noble bearing that ten
years had brought her.
She was never one 70 chatter. She
looked at the hermit with her large.
thinking dark eyes. The hermit
stood still surprised into a pose as
mOtiOnless as her own. only his
subconscious sense Of the fitness OF
things caused him 10 turn the bak-
ing powder can slowly in his hands
until its red label was hidden against
his bosom.

Edith. In low but clear tones. Il

then that all the money in the world
cannot weigh in the scales against
a faithful heart If-but II is too
late now. OF course
Her assertion was question
clothed as best IL could be in a low
ing womans pride. But through
the thin disguise the hermit saw
easily that his lady had come back
10 him-if he chose. He had won
a golden crown-if IL pleased him
10 take IL. The reward OF his de-
cade Of his faithfulness was ready
for his hand-if he desired 10
stretch il forth.
For the space of one minute the
old enchantment shone upon him
with a reelected radiance. And then
by turns ne felt the manly sensations
OF Indignation at having been dis
carded, and OF repugnance at hav-
ing been--as IL were-sought again.
And last Of all-how strange that
il should have come at last!-the
pale-blue vision of the beautifulest

tones. pressing the baking powder

Once she turned after she had
gone slowly 20 yards down the path
The hermit had begun 20 twist the
lid of his can. but he hid II again
under his sacking robe. He could
see her great eyes shining sadly
through the twilight; but he stood
infiexible in the doorway OF his
shack and made no sign.
Just as the moon rose on Thurs
day evening the hermit was seized
by the world-madness.
