Massachusut has n bona fide woman hermit. In a picturesque part of the village Of Forest Hills, Mass., there stands clone and many acres apart from any pther residence a quaint weather-staine- d cottage. This Is the heme of Margaret Xowiaml, hermit. For fifty years Miss Nowland has lived In Forest Hills and yet she Is today at the age of 76 aa unknown to (he people of that town as she was half ft century ago, when, a beautiful girl pf 21, she walked lute the village, from pobody knew where, and took up her gliode In the little house which had so long remained unoccupied. Weeks and months passed and the young woman continued to live a life of seclusion, alone In the quaint little cottage. Finally, by some chance It was learned that tbe mysLerlous young woman's name was Miss Margaret Nowland, and that she came from the far West. More than this no one could discover. Mlsa Nowland never went to the postofllce nor to church, and except to buy food she never strayed beyond the little wicker gate which shut the outside world from the lawn which stretched around the hermitage. For fifty years this has continued and nil the force of New England curiosity has failed to ferret out the history of Margaret Nowland, which would have remained n mystery until the end of time had not unforeseen circumstances brought to light the very romantic story of this womans life. Mysterious Stranger Conics, About one month ago, the town of Forest Hills was startled by seeing n white-haire- d man push open the gate leading to the hermitage, walk briskly up (he jmth to Hip front dour, and lift the knorker, which fell back with n round that hccmcd to demand admittance for tbe intruder. Slowly the front door swung back, for an Instant Margaret Nowland and the intruder faced each other, then the across the threshold man stepped which for titty years had not been parsed by a visitor, the doer was closed and the villagers were left standing on the sidewalk staring at the cottage in amazement. About two hours later the man left the hermitage, walked quickly to the station and took a train for Boston. Ths following day Margaret Nowland went to the postofllce where the astonished clerk handed her n letter so heavy that it took double postage aft open-mouth- ed carry It For one week this same thing oc- curred daily; every morning Mai ga ret Nowland, still uncommunicative, went to the postofllce, received her letter and disappeared in tho hermitage again.' On the eighth day the wbite-liaire- d stranger reappeared. This time Mies Nowland met him at the little wicker gate and the two strolled around the grounds before entering the house. Never had Foreat Hills been so stirred, tbe entire town was wild with excitement and burning with a curiosity which threatened to break all bonds. Late that afternoon Miss Nowland and her vis itor called upon the Unitarian minister of the town and the lips of the hermit were opened. Before hearing the story of her past, full of romance and tragedy however. Forest IIllls was shaken to Its foundations by the statement that they were to lose their hermit. Margaret Nowland la going to be married on Christmas Day of this year to the white-haire- d stranger, who will on that day celebrate his Slat birthday. Minister Tails Ftary.
