"So, hardly tlie Commendal llouae."

"Tben you know Mr. Peter*?” Imjulr
ed Magee
’’ls that hla name? You aee. I never

She held out her hand, but Cetera,
by long practice wary of women, had
burdened btmaelf with breakfast plate*
which prevented hla clasping It lie
muttered "How d'ye do?" and (ted to
ward the door, narrowly averting what
would have proved a Bertoua collision
with the lurge woman ou the way.
“Mr. Cetera meets so few of your
aei In winter." Magee apologized, "you
must pardon Ills clunndneas Till* gen

who arose- "la Thaddetia lloltou a ills
tlngulahed tn»mlier of h certain ttnlver

this la Mr. Claud, who hides here front
the world the scars of a broken heart
The girl entiled brightly "And you"-

"William Itallowell Magee." he re
turned. Is.wing low. "I have a neat
little collection of stories accounting
for my presence here, from which I
shall allow you to choose later Not to

almost to a fault"
"I am so.happy t« meet you all.* *»l<>
the girl "We shall no doubt become
very good friends, for mamma and I
have also eotno to Bald pate Inn —to
stay"
Mr Bland opened wide his usually
narrow eyes and ran hla hand thought*

feaaor Bolton blinked Ids astonishment.
Mr. Magee einlhsl
“| for on# am delighted 10 hear It.’

The older woman adopted wlmt was
obviously her society manner.

"Borne explanation.” put In Miss Nor

marked flippantly, glancing at the two
men. "have their own code of honor,
and the Brat rule la never to beiray a

"SplendidT' laughed the girl “Yon
aald. I believe, that Professor Bolton
was fleeing from the newspaper*. I
am fleeing for the newspaper*—to at
tract their attention, to lure them Into
giving uie that thing so necessary to a
woman In my profession—publicity.
You see, lam an actress The name I
gave you Is not my stage name That.
I>erlmpa. you would know I employ a
geutleumn to keep me liefore the public
as much as possible. It's horrid, I
know, but It means bread and butter
to uie That gentleman, my press
agent, evolved the present scheme a
mygterious disappearance,"
ghe paused and looked at the others.
Mr. Magee surveyed her narrowly. He
wondered.

“But It’d be uo lie In your case,
dearie.” put In Mrs Norton, feeling
carefully of her atrociously blond store
hair
"Your mother takes the words from

“From what part of Ireland do you
come?" laughed the girl She seemed

went on. "but as vet there seems to be

Mr. Illund smoothed hack Ills black
oily hair from Ills forehead and smltk
ed “Oh. now”—he protested
"Arabella,” put In Mr. Magee, “was
her name. The tiennttes of history nud
mythology hobbled Into oblivion at
sight of her "
"I’m quick to forget," Insisted Mr
Bland.
“That din’s you no credit. I’m sure,
replied the girl severely. "And now,
ntntnina. I think we had better select
our rooms"—
She paused, for Elijah Qnlmby Intd

"Well!” he drawled "Mr. Mltgee."
lie said, "that letter from Mr. Henllo.v
asked me to >et you stay nt Baldpate
Inn. There wasn't anything In It about
your bringing parties of friends along "
"These are not friends I've brought
along." explained Magee. "They're
simply some more amateur hornets who
have strolled in front Uine to time. All
have their individual latchkeys to Ibo
hermitage And ad. 1 believe, hnvu
credentials for you to examine."
Mr. Qtilmhy stnnal In angry wouder.
Professor Bolton rose front his chair.
"So yon are Quiinb.t." he said In a
soothing tone "I’m glad to meet you

"1 haven't much of any right here. 1

"But your key?"
"I rear my-my press agent-stole

’The more the merrier,* said Mr.
Magee, reflecting cheerfully that the
Men I leys were In Florida at last ac

"Come, mamma." said Miss Norton,
rising, “let's go up and pick out a
suit. There's one I used to have a
few years ago. You eau see the her
mit's shark from the windows My
i the way. Mr. Magee, will you send

I to help lls get settled."
"Ahem:" muttered Mr. Magee “I
I'll have a talk with Meiers. To he
1 quite frank. I anticipate trouble. You
| see. the hermit of Baldpate doesn't
I approve of women"
"The idiot:" cried Mrs. Norton.
"Delirious!” laughed the girl.
••I shall ask Meters to serve you," said
Magee "I shall ap|ieiil to Ills gallant

; is Ids tlrst day as our cook, anil you
i know how necessary a good first Im
pression is with a new cook. I'll ap

"Don't do 1C" cried Hie girl. "Don't
emphasize us to him In any way or he
may exercise his right as cook and
leave, .lust Ignore us. We’ll play at
lieing our own bellboys."
j "Ignore you!” cried Mr. Magee.
"What herculean tnsks yon set! Mm
not equal to that one"’ He picked up
their traveling hags and led the way
upstairs. "I'm something of a bellboy
myself when roused." he said.
The girl selected suit 17. at the far
ther end of the corridor from Magee’s
npartmeuts. “It's the very one 1 used
to have years and years ago-at least
two or three years ago," she said.
“Isn't It stupid? All the furniture In a
heap!”
] "And cold." said Mrs. Norton. “My
land. I wish I was back by my owu
Are."
"I'll make you regret your words
Mrs. Norton!" cried Magee He threw
up the windows, pulled off his coat and
set to work on the furniture The girl
bustled about, lightening his work hy
her smile.
"I hope you don't expect n tip.” the
girl said, laughing.
"I do." hp aald. coming closer and
speaking in a voice that was not for the
ear of the chaperon. "I wunt a tip on
this—do you really act?"
She looked at him steadily.
"Once." she said, “when I was six
teen, 1 appeared In an amateur play al
school. It was my first and last ap
pearance on the stage.”
"Thanks, Indy," remarked Mr. Magee
In Imitation of the bellboy he was sup
posed to be. He sought No. 7. There
he made himself again presentable,
after which he descended to the office.
Mr. Bland sat reading the New York
paper before the tire From the little
card room and the pnrlor. the two
rooms to the right and left of the ho
tel's front door, Qulintiy had brought
forth extra chntrs rte stood now by
the large chair that held Mrofessor
Bolton, engaged !u conversation with
that gentleman.
“Yea," he was saying, "I lived three
yPitis in liculuii and five yeurs in New
York. It took uie eight years—eight
years to realize the truth.”
I "I heard about It from .lohn Meat
ley.” the professor said gently.
"He's been pretty kind to me, Mr.
Bentley has." replied Qultnbj. "When
the money was all gone he offered me
tills Job. Once the Qulmbjrs owned
most of the land around Maldpate
mountain It all went in those eight
years. To think that It took all those
years for me to find It out:"
"If I'm not impertinent, Qulmby,”
put tu Magee, "to find what out?"
“That what I wanted, the rutlroad
men didn't want." replied Qulmby bit
terly. "and that was the safety of the
public. You see, 1 invented a new
rail joint, one tliut was a great tin
pmvement on the old kind. I bad sort
of an Idea, when 1 was doing It—au
Idea of service to the world—you

They didn't want the expense of a
j change."
Mr. Qulmby looked out at the sunlit
stretch of snow.
"Bight years." he repeated. "I fought
and pleaded. No. 1 begged—that was
the word—l llegged. You'd be surpris
ed to know the names of some of the
men who kept me waiting In their pri
vate offices and sneered at me over
their polished desks They turned me
down—every one. Borne of them play

less It was uli. they made a line fool
of me."
•'Yon might have put down some of
your Joints at your own expense." sng
gested the professor
"Didn't I try?" cried Qiiiiuhy. "Do
you think tlg.y'd let me? No. the pub
lic might see them and demand them
everywhere. Once I thought I had
convinced somebody. It was down In
I ten ton the Suburban railway." There
was a rustle as Mr. Mland let his pn|ier
full in the floor. "Old Henry Thorn

fellow nam.v| David Kendrick were
running It. Kendrick was on tti.v side

"I do rememlier." said the professor
softly.
"Hayden turned me down.” went on
Qnlmby. "The money was all gone
So I came hack to Tipper Asquewnn—
caretaker of an Inn that overlook* the
property my father owned—the prop
erly I squandered for a chance to save
hitman lives."
He moved away, and the men sat In
Klleiiee for a time. Then the professor
spoke very gently:
“Moor devil to have bad his dream
of service—and then grow old on Mald
pate."
"Well, everything's shipshape In the
kitchen." announced the hermit cheer
fully. hurrying Into the room. "I
couldn't go without seeing to that. 1
wish you Hie lies! of luck, gentlemen,
and giHidhy."
"(Jondbj ?" cried lli“ professor.
"By the gods, lie’s leaving us!" al
most wept Mr. Bland.
“It can't be." said Mr. Magee.
“It has to lie.” said the hermit of
Baldpate. solemnly shaking his head.
"I’d like to stay with you. and 1 would
If they hadn't come. But tier# they
are. and when women come ill the
door I fly out of the window, as the
saying is."
"But. Meters." pleaded Magee, "you

like this?"
"Sorry.” replied Meters. "1 con

I tried to please one once—but let the

and It wouldn't he consistent for me
to stay here now. I got to go. 1 hate
to. like a dug. hut I got to.”
"Meters," said Mr. Magee. "Mm stir
prised. After giving your word to
stay! And who knows—you may be
able to gather valuable data for your
book. Stick around. These women
won't bother you. And we’ll pay you
beyond the dreams of avnrlce of a
Mroadway chef. Won't we.gentlemen?”
The others nodded. Mr. Meters visi
bly weakened.
"Well.” he began. "I” His eyes
were on the stairs. Mr. Magee also
looked In that direction and saw the
girl of the station smiling down. She
no longer wore coat and hat. and the
absence of the latter revealed a glory
of golden hair that became Instantly a
rival to the sunshine In that drear hare
room.
"No. Meters." she said, "you mustn't
go. We couldn't permit it. Mamuia
and I will go."
She continued to smile at the ob
viously dazzled Meters. Suddenly he
spoke In a determined tone:
“No. don’t do that. Mil stay.” Then
he turned to Magee and continued for
that gentleman's ear alone: "Doggone
It. we're all alike! We resolve and re
solve and then one of them looks at us
and It’s all forgot. I had a friend who
advertised for a wlte—leastways, he
was a friend until lie advertised. lie
got ninety two replies, seventy of ’em
from married men advising against the
step. •I'm cured.’ he says to me. ‘Not
for uie.’ Dhl he keep his word? No.
A week after he married a widow Just
to see If what the seventy said wus
true I'm mortal. I hang nrouiid the
buxxaaw. If you give me a little motl
ey. I’ll go down to tbe village and buy
the provisions for lunch."
Gleefully Mr. Magee stnrted the her
mit on his way. and then went over
to where the girl stood at the foot of
the stairs
They went together to the kitchen,
found a pall and filled It with Icy wa
ter from the pump at the rear of the
Inn. Inside once more, Mr. Magee re
marked thoughtfully:
“Who would have guessed a week
ago that today I would tie climbing the
broad staircase of a summer hotel car
rying a pall of water for a lady fair?"
They paused on tbe laudiug.
