His sister and her husband, with whom he lived, said he was?his club friends said the same thing?the public press announced that he had vanished off the face of the earth without leaving so much as a trail of dust behind. And who was Basconi Hayes to be missing and have whistles blown and horns tooted and private detectlveB set on edge? Just an old bachelor with a comfortable income, complacent in his nature and lazy and unambitious by nature. Missing! No clew! Last Been sitting In a public park at midnight. Had a despondent air and was so pre-occu pled that when a vag called him "Cully" and struck him for a quarter he neither answered to the name nor handed over the shiner. Foul play, perhaps, as he was known always to carry enough with him to pay his taxi fare, no matter how much the chauf feur meddled with the clock. No rea son known why he should climb to tte top of the Singer building and leap off. His laundry account was paid up to the last cent, and he was thr*e cig arette packages ahead of the game. No reward, but the grateful thanks of a sister for information. No reward, but still a score of prt yato detectives called and expressed their willingness to take up the case for the prestige it would give one. He would have been but for his voice. Striking an attitude he hoarsely whis pered: "In love?got the skate?jumped from one of the bridges! s He had reached that age when a turn-down is fatal to a man. His body will be found washed up on Staten Island! I go to keep watch!" "But Bascom was not In"love"" pro tested the sister. "He has never loved. A thousand times he has declared Le would never marry." "Sly doc?sly dog!" whispered the detective. "He was simply putting you off the Bcent. LJsten to me. On the last night you saw him I was walk ing on Madison avenue, following the trail of a murderer. Of a tudden the front of door No. 4,000,000 opens and a man descends the steps and plunges Into the gloom. I had a fair look at hia face and figure, and If ever there was black despair, It was there. He had been turned down by the widow The Widow Took a Long Look. who lives there. That man was your brother. He had got it bad and could not survive the shock!" "I can't believe It," replied the sis ter. "Go to the house and Interview the widow. Nice little lady, but she was toying with your brother's heart strings. Go charge her with It and you will bring the guilty blush to her face." The sister decided not to do any such thing. She auw several embar rassing objections to that line of con duct. Neither old Bhe believe that her brother had committed auJclde, but she was willing that the detective should patrol the beaches of Staten Island at his own expense. * " 'Tis done!" he whispered. "I charge you nothing for finding the sad re mains, but when I arrive here with them on a truck you can tender me a small sum In payment." There was a little widow living at No. 4,000.000 on the avenue named, and the detective In mousing around had seen a man leave the house at a late hour. He didn't know whether the man was the widow's grandfather, father, uncle or brother, but he called him Bascom Gray. The little widow also knew that Mr. Gray was miss ing. She heard of It orally, and she read in the papers. She also knew Just why he was missing, but she wasn't chasing around to volunteer In formation. Widows know when to keep quiet. Besides, after several days had gone by she received a letter from a friend In the country containing news that relieved her mind considerably and brought a smllo to her face and a plan to her mind. "I wish you were here," wrote the correspondent. "We have a romantic mytitery on hand. There's an old log house In the woods half a mile down the road. It has not been occupied for years, and is sadly out of repair, but behold! a hermit came a day or two ago to take up his quarters. No old rags! No venerable whiskers! Middle aged and decently dressed, and they say he spends most of his tibi? mooning and sighing Lives n.osti on turnips. 1 guess, and sleeps on t brush bed Uncle J'm was over see him yesterday, but could not ^et much out of htm. Seems to be some one who has been disappointed In love, and thinks the world has g^ne to* smash. Hurry down and help us to solve the mystery by fndir.g the guil"> party who gave him the shake." The widow smiled and nodded a? she read 'he letter. She even s;:i?! t< herself: "Yes. that would be Just like him." Then she went to packing rc as to leave for the country some i thi>n she had planned for. She started arrived, and was welcomed. She had scarcely hugged her friend when she was greeted with: "The hermit is there yet We heard him crooning a love song last night, a.'ter stealing onions and turnip3 fcr hlB supper." "Some escaped luni tic, rrobably ?? "Oh, no. he can't be. He's Just break ing his heart over come woman What a wicked wretch Bhe must be to drive him out of the world In this way!" "Y-e-8. And what a ninny he must be to have been driven." "Now, then, hurry up and charge and get lunch and we'll go over to the hut. Perhaps we enn encourage and console him." An hour later the widow an nounced that she was going to see the hermit. She might or might not know him, but she had an idea she did. There was considerable argu ment about her going alone, but she prevailed, and got directions and started off. It was an Ideal place for a hermit. The woods and brush were dense, the old house almost roofless, and a more lonely spot could not have been found for ten miles around. From the shelter of a brush the widow took a long look. Only a woodpecker was j to be seen and heard, and he was cer tainly a dejected looki.ig bird. After a time an advance was made to the gaping doorway, and the hermit of the wilderness was made out to be seat ed in a dark corner with his head on his knees. ' "Bascom, come out!" The figure never stirred. "Come out, I say!" "Who?what?" ? "Come out and don't play the ninny." "Is it you, Nina?" was asked in a mournful voice as a disheveled figure arose and came to the door. "Of course It 1st Come along!" "It's too late!" "Too late, nothing!" And she took the hermit's hand and led him to a little glade and sat him down and seated herself beside blm and said: "AU I said that night was that a man with your money and brains ought to do something to make your self known to the world, and you be came angry and took your departure." "But you?you Intimated?" "Yes, but that's all passed. You have done something, and that's all 1 ask ed. You are In all the papers. You are the talk of the town. You are be ing searched for. Bascom, no woman wants to marry a nonentity. You are not one. You have made a fool of yourself and we'll be married as soon as you wish!" A Bashful Couple. Arthur had never kept companj with a girl, nor had Maria ever "re ceived attentions," but by some mira cle they now found themselves togeth er, riding on a lonesome country road. Conversation was at a standstill. The old nag stumped along with hla head hung low, and would not hurry. Not a man or a house was In night, not a Bound could be heard. The silence was Intense and oppressive Maria scanned the fringe of ragweed on her side of the road. Arthur peered hopefully Into the hazel brush on his side. A half-grown rabbit sprang from somewhere, and with a dozen leaps was gone. "Do you like rabbit?" asked Maria, Impulsively. "Yea," replied the swain, quickly. And there he stopped. His mouth hung wide open, but not another word occurred to him. He blushed. He remembered there was not a house nor a man In sight. He strained his eyes at the fringe of hazel brush. The Bllence Intensified, and bore down like a pnlpable weight. Then Arthur drew in a sharp breath, pulled himself together resolutely, and glanced toward his rrlend. "And my!" he said. "And my! Ain't the gravy good?"?Youth's Companion The Martinet. "The martinet never succeeds. A .yplcal martinet was the well-known one who. having ordered his men to change their shirts, and 'hen having learned that they had no shirts to change, said in that event they must change shirts with each other. 1 heard yesterday of still another type of mar tinet." The speaker was Col. Hugh Lenox Scott of West Point. He continued: "This chap, a captain, strode up to one of his men and said with a fear ful frown: "Who's the Idiot that ordered you to leave that mesa of empty meat cans right here In front of headquarters?' " it was the colonel, air,' the man replied. *' 'Very well, then.' said the captain sharply; 'let It stay there. And your leave's stopped for a week, my man, for calling your colonel an Idiot.'"
