Mysterious Echo in the Haunted fllen. And the Lover's Leap beat him only a few inches, flat-footed. He was known far (but not very wid, on account of the topography) as a scholar of billlant intellect who had been jilted In a love affair. Kvery' Saturday nlpht the Viewpoint Inn sent to him surreptitiously a basket of provision.. He never left the immediate outskirts of hi hermitage. Guests of the Inn who visit'd him said his store of

knowledfc'. wit, and scintillating philosophy were simply wonderful, you know. That summer the Viewpoint Inn whs crowded with gruests. So. on Saturday niphts there wcro extra cans of tomatoes, and sirloin sUak instead of "rounds," in the hermit's basket. Now you have the material allpatior.s in the cus-. So, make way for Koma nee. Kvidtntly the hermit expected a visitor. lie carefully combed his lon hair and partle his apostolic beard. When the nlnety-eight-cent al?rm-clock on a stone shelf announced t.ie hour of five he picked up his punny-Backing skirts, brushed thrt. carefully, Kathered an oaken staf, and strolled slowly Into the thick woods that surrounded the hermitage. He had not loni; to wait. Up the faint pathway, slippery with its carpet of pine-needles, toiled Beatrix, youngest and fairest of the famous TronholiTHr sisters. She was all in Ma- from hat to canvas pumps, varying in tint from the shade of the tinkle of a bluebell at daybreak on a spring Saturday morning to a deep hue of a Monday morning at nine when the washerwoman has failed lo show up. Beatrix dug her ceruh-an parasol deep Into the plnenedl'.s and signed. The hermit, on the q. t., removed a grass burr from the ankle of on sandalled loot with the big toe of his other one. She blued and almost starched and ironed him with her cobalt eyes. "It must be so nice," she said in little, tremulous gasp?, "to be a hermit, and have ladies climb mountains to tall; to you." The hermit folded his arms and leaned apainst a tree. Ii'atrix. with a sigh, fettled down upon the mat of pineneedlea like a. bluebird- upon her nest. The hermit followed suit; drawing his feet rather awkwardly under his gunny-sacking. "It must be nice to be a mountain," said he, with ponderous lightness, "and have angels In blue climb up you Instead of flying over you." "Mamma had neuralgia," said Beatrix, "and went to bed, or I couldn't have come. It's dreadfully hot at that horrid old Inn. But we hadn't the money to go anywhere else this summer." "Last night." said the hermit. "I climbed to the top of that big rock above us. I could see the lights of the inn and hear a strain or two of tho music when the wind was right. I imagined you moing gracefully in the arms of others to

the dreamy music of the waltz amid the fragrance of flowers. Think how lonely I must have been!" Tbe youngest, handsomest, ar.d pecrest of the famous Trenholme sisters fc.ghed. "You haven t quite hit it." she paid, plaintive). "I was moving racefull at the arms of anotlnr. Mamma had one of her periodical attacks of rhuematism in both elbows and shoulders, and I hud to rub them for an hour with that horrid old liniment. I hope you didn't think that nmelied like lowers. You know, there were somo West pr-int boys and a yacht load of young men from the city at last evening's weekly dance. I've known mamma to sit by an open window for three hours with one-half of her registering 8 5 degrees and the other half frost-bitten, and never sneeze once. But just kt a bunch of ineligibles come around where I am, and she'll begin to swell at the knuckles and shriek with pain. And I have to take her to her rocm and rub her arms. To see mamma dressed you'd be surprised "to know the number of square inches of surface there are to her arms. I think It must be delightful to be a hermit. That cassock or gabardine, Isn't it? that you wear is so becoming. Do you make it or them of course you must have changes yourself? And what a bK-ssed relief it must be tt wf-ar sandals instead of shoes! Think how we mut suffer no matter how small I buy my shoes, they always pinch my toes. Oh, why can't there be lady hermits, too!" The beautifulcst and most adolescent Trenholme sister extended two slender blue ankles that ended In two enormous blue-silk bows that almost concealed two fairy Oxfords, also of one of the forty-seven shades of blue. The hermit, as If Impelled by a kind of retlex-telepathic action, drew his bare toes farther beneath his gunny-sacking. "I have heard fc.bout the romance of your life." said Miss Trenholme, softly. "They have it printed on the back of the menu card at the inn. Was she very beautiful and charming?" "On the bills of fare!" muttered the hermit; "but what do I care for the world's babble? Yes, she was of tho highest and grandest type. Then." he continued, "then .1 thought the world could never contain another equal to her. So I forsook it and repaired to this mountain fastness to ppend the remainder of my life alone to devote and dedicate my remaining years to

'Hut they're hermits," svld the youngest and beautiful st, "because they've lost thf- riht one, aren't they?" "Ilecause they think th-y have." answered the rc!ue. fatuously. "Wisdom comes to on in a mountain cave as well as to one in the world of 'swells.' as I believe they are colled in the. argot." 'When one of the Vw'lls' brine it to them," Faid Miss Trenholme. "And my folks are swells. ThatV the trouble. But there are so many swell? at the seashore in the sum-rtur-Mmo that we hardly amount to more than ripples. So we've hid to put all our money Into river and harbor appropriations. We were all pirls. you know. There wer four of us. I'm the only surviving ono. The others have been married off. All to money.

'I have not," paid the hermit, re

gretfully. "I'm to sorry." sld Miss Trenholme. "I always thought thy had. I think I must go now." Oh. beyond question, she was the beautiful.?:. "Fair lady " besran the hermit. "I am Beatrix Trenholme wmc call me Trix," she said. "You must come to the inn to see me." 'I haven't been a stone's-throw from my cave In ten years." said the hern.it. "Yo;i must come to see me there," she repeated. "Any evening except Thursday." The hermit smiled weakly. "(lood-bye," she said, gathering the folds of her pale-blue skirt. "I shall expect you. But not on Thursday evening, remember."
