Also a bathhouse, tintype tent, peanut pavilion and bathing houses?little, hot, new pine coffins stood up on end. Also girls and girls and girls, from sixteen to sixty, assorted sizes, and all looking for the man. There are lots of him running around in the days of his youth, but for a real ninu such as we are led to expect, by nil the summer lore ever written, hangs his delightful self around summer resorts and wears white duck and brings you wuter lilies ami xiKira over n lumuionn ni 3'OU 'nenth the pale moonlight?there isn't n single specimen wandering for miles around our villa.

Day After Yesterday. Hello, ceutrnl! All hail the man! He came, he saw, and Caesar isn't a circumstance. lie has taken the large comer room. Mrs. Banks, our general overseer, says he is an exceptional 3*oung man. Wonder how much board he paid In advance! He isn't real young nor real old; just that intermediate age that is so interesting. I don't think he is exactly handsome, but you know what a properl3* trimmed Vandyke and a pair of rimless eyeglasses will do for nny man. He's that kind. This morning he escorted all of us through the glen. Did I tell you that wi* nuu u gien t on, yea; uien Hllyn. Just fernlnst the vllln. It's n break in the sand bluff, and it's damp an<T piny and darksome at midday. Heretofore the organdie liock had religiously eschewed its ferny swampiness, but you should bare seen us trail after him over fen and stump and hidden vine the while he fished out dinky little weeds and discoursed on them. I opine he is a botanist. Well, it's better than a barber. A letter came for him today addressed to Professor Adrian Yogel. How's that for individuality? lie looks it too. He does not dance, and he doe9 not play the mandolin. He goes for bis morning dip at some unenrthty hour before we are up. In fact, he does not do any of the orthodox summer "manlsms," but he bas manners and customs of his own. For Instance, he sings, and sings welt There are about ninety and nine muses who group themselves in the parlors after dinner to listen to their Apollo. When ho sings "All Aboard For Dreamland" he looks at you as much as to say he has only two passes for the boat, but the other one Is for you. Yachting and nutolng he classes as nerve racking, but nature and close to nature's heart and all the rest of It Is what the professor's Joy Is. I think privately we would get closer to nature's heart and the professor's heart, too, if he could be made to understand awmwIIAMM* A?.?1 * Uiu tAj/ruiriiVJ VI IUUIVIUUUI mBUm I Or bis botany pupils. But be cannot He calls for a class, and we are all classed. I hope for the best. So do the other ninety and eight muses. Botanlcally yours, PBRDITA. Saturday. Come to No Man's I.and every time for something doing. We have saved the professor's life. If It had only been one of us It wouldn't have been so complicated. A composite gratitude doesn't go far when It lias to be passed around. It was long after lunchtime, and he never misses lunchtime. He can put away more fried blueflsh and blackberry potple than five of the muses, but It Is only proof of his exceptional excellence, and the overseer never rebukes him. Did I tell you she was a widow, also Interested In botany 7 I think she stands second best He likes fried blueflsh, etc. [ Anyway, we missed him, and there . 'IT'.*:-'-: - " ' . ggg^gg"! , was a swift summer* storm stealing blackly up from the horizon, and the sea moaned as it broke in sobs along the shore.. They do that kiud of thing all right I used to think that went with the summer man, but it doesn't. MacGregor Clarence Blair said he hadn't showed up since breakfast, and he'd seen him making n bee line for the glen, and he'd said, "What's yer hurry t" and the professor bad sj/|d he hoped he could have one morning In peace to study without that thundering crowd of old maids hiking nfter him. We didn't believe MacGregor. He looks like u pale, new sand fly, and his father and mother own all of No Man's Laud. Tlic professor never In oil this world used such words as hiking nnd . thundering, but MacGregor did. Therefore, I mny say, In the snmo common parlance, that the whole thundering crowd of old maids pitched h) and lambasted MacGregor until his pretty white linen suit was not fair to see nnd his twining curls were full of sand burs. Then he howled nnd retracted, . _ and we nil went up the glen after the professor. The gleu deepens nnd darkens as you go In, nnd the sides are rocky nnd precipitous, with' much shrubbery hnd undergrowth nnd scrnggly pine trees listed to windward. And Just as the first., streak of lightning quivered In the sky ** we beard n faint shout for help. It was the professor. Ho hung suspended in air on the bare limb of fl~ dead pine tbnt jutted out from the rock halfway lip the bluff, like Genius on Pegasus, the widow said?ou a petrified Pegasus. Then Genevieve Perlcy, our college product, said Pegasus couldn't be petrified. lie would have to be ossified. And the widow begnn to cry and sat down on n log and said she didn't enre a bit either way, ossified or petrified, nnd Trofessor Vogel was such a lovely man nnd always paid his board like a gentleman, nnd she bated to see him killed before her eyes, nnd she never v felt so much like fainting before In all lier life. Genevieve said fainting was counted out. He was a fine target for lightning up there, and, while it was hone of her business nnd she hnd no Interest in tlio professor as a lovely man or In the continuance of his regular board payl.w?

"In mountainous countries," began Agatha, tlio artist, who has been Europized, "I believe they tie a rope around the waist of one person"? "It's the shoulders," said Genevieve; "kind of a slipknot." The professor shouted for help again, this time fainter still. "No; the waist," said Agatha flrmly. ' "And lower that person over the mountain side until lie rescues the other party." "tiet's lower MacGregor," murmured Genevieve, but the widow cried end said her feet were getting wet aud'she didn't think it tvas right to joke in the face of death.. That braced us up, because the professor did look like it, so while the fleeting moments sped Genevieve and I sped fleeter and found some clotheslines and a couple of husky lads in sweaters from the peanut stand and the bontliouse, and we sped baek to the glen. Then the husky luds climbed the bluff on the sandy side and did the Alpine act with the clotheslines, assisted by several ropes from the boathouse, and before our eyes the professor was pulled back to life and liberty. He is resting now. It Is dark and still at the villa. No hops or mandolins tonight. The shock will bring him to, I think, from the botanical dream and cause hlin to concentrate his Joy N on some loving, sympathetic heart, and It may be your PERDITA. Monday. I shall be home on the Tuesday boat. Thfc' other girls are packing too. The overseer has fainted. Only the professor is serene. lie was up bright and early this morning to meet the 0:08 train, and when he came back he had a Mrs. Professor and three little Professor Juniors tagging merrily along after him. No, I don't think men were deceive ever. I think it was nbsentmlndedness. Only Mrs. Professor gave the muses their crushing blow when she said she was so glad we had all Joined the professor's summer botany class, as he had reduced the course rate to $10, and she thought it wns the sweetest, most elevating study one could take up. We all assured her it was elevating. It was?for the professor. And we're all going home tomorrow. Tours for single blessedness, PERD1TA. M Philadelphia Gallant. There is nothing that astonishes a woman so much as meeting a man who takes her at her word. X certain very Impetuous young woman living in the suburbs of this city experienced this unique sensation when she attended a musicale given by a friend and met a specimen of the too literal male.

"You know I am quite accustomed to going out alone. I am not the least bit afraid. I nearly always leave here unescorted." "Oh, well. If that Is the case," said the stupid man, "I don't need to go then. I would not think of interfering with your lifelong habits." And without giving the Independent young woman a chance to avail herself of his escort, he threw off his overcoat and joined a pretty blond at the end I ot the hallway ^Philadelphia Record. '
