H E wa* only a little girl a trifle
younger than myaelf when I met
her the flret time near the play­
grounds o f the Itoardlng school, where
I had gone to seek some o f my play­
mates. but found them all gone.
Though I heartily despised girls a* a
moat Inferior class of t>e!ngs, Julia,
with her blue eyes, her dimpled chin
and golden hair, waa better than no
company at all, and wa*. I Imagined,
greatly flattered when I sailed her If
*he would take a walk with me.
W e went Into the woods until we
came to the old mill down acrosa the
river. It wa* a dangerous place to
crosa, and she was at first afraid to
come with me until I dared her to do
so.
She shrank hack as I led her along.
I determined that she should go to
a point where the water poured over
a |H>rtlon o f the dam lower than the
rest. I turned my back to step up on
the post. It was but a moment. I
heard a cry and saw Julia In the flood.
The expression that was In her eyes is
to this day stamped clearly In my
memory— an expression o f mingled re­
proach and forgiveness.
I could scarcely awlm a dozen
strokes, hut not a second had elapsed
before I was In the water.
I swam and struggled and buffeted
to reach her, all In vain. An eddy
whirled me In a different direction.
My strength was soon exhausted. I
was borne down the river, sinking snd
rising, till I came to a place where I
ch light a glimpse as I rose to the sur­
face o f n man running along some
planks extending Into the rlv^r and
raised above the water on posts. My
feet became entangled In weeds.
I
snnk. I beard a great roaring In my
ears, then oblivion.
When I came to I was lying on my
back. I remember the urst thing I
saw was a light cloud sailing over the
clear blue. There was an air o f quiet
and peace In It that contrasted with
my own sensations. Then I saw a man
on hta knees beside something he was
rubbing. I turned my head aside and
saw It was a little figure— a girl, Julia.
Bhe was cold and stark.
My agony was far greater than when
1 had plunged after her Into the
stream. Then I hoped and believed
that If she were drowned I would be
also. Now I saw uer beside tue life­
less, and I lived.
The next day my father came and
took me home. I waa 111 after that.
H O U R S
PORTLAND To CHICAGO
No change of cara
too HI to ask about Julia, but wbeu I
recovered what a load was taken from
my mind to know that by dint of rub­
bing and rolling and a stimulant she
had been brought to and had recov­
ered. I also learned that the man who
cared for ns had seen Julia fall and
had reacued her. When I saw him
running along the planks it was to hla
boat chained to the end. • • •
Ten years passed, during which I
wns constantly haunted by one Idea—
that was to go hack and find Julia and
Implore her forgiveness. The years
that I must he a boy and dependent
seemed Interminable. A t last I came
o f age. and received a small fortune
that had fallen to me. and as soon as
the papers In the case were duly sign­
ed and sealed I started.
It was Just about the same time of
the year and the same hour o f the
afternoon as when I first saw Julia
that I walked Into the old school
grounds.
I was standing at the school en­
trance with my hand on the bell when
I heard a door In the next bouae open
and then shut- From that moment, I
could feel that Julia was near me.
Bhe came out o f the house, a slender,
graceful girl o f 19, and picking up a
tennis bat, commenced to knock the
balls about
“ I beg your pardon,” I said, raising
my hat. “ can you tell me If the school
la still there?” — pointing to the house.
“ It was moved some years ago,” she
replied, regarding me with the old
honest gaze.
" I was one o f the scholars.”
“ Indeed!” Bhe spoke without any
further encouragement for me to go
on.
“ I see the wood has not been cut
away,” 1 added, glancing toward I t
“ No; It does not seem to be.”
“ Were you ever there?”
“ Oh. yes; often.”
“ And Is that old dam still across the
river?”
“ I believe It Is.”
She looked at me curiously. I went
on without waiting for a reply.
"W ould you mind showing me the
way to It?” It Is a long while since I
was there.”
She drew herself up with s slight
hauteur. Then thinking that, perhapa,
I was unaccustomed to the convention­
al ways of civilized life, she said pleas­
antly:
i o u have only to walk through the
wood straight, at the hack o f the
house, and you will come to I t ”
“ Thank you,” I replied; "but I hoped
you would show me the way.”
Bhe looked puzzled.
“ Miss Julia.” I said, altering my
tone. ” 1 once met you when 1 was a
boy here at school.”
” 1 knew a number o f scholars,” she
said, more Interested; "whom may you
be?”
I dreaded to tell her. “ I f yon will
pilot me to the dam,” I said, “ I will
Inform you.”
She thought a moment, then turned
and looked out at the Wood. With the
quick motion with which she had made
the same move as a child she started
forward.
W e walked side by side to the wood,
through It out to the river bank. There
was the water and the dam; every­
thing as It had been.
“ Did you ever try to walk out
there?” 1 asked.
“ Once, when I was a child, I came
here with a boy, and we walked to
where the water pours over. I met
with an accident. I fell In.”
“Th e boy overpersuaded you, I sup­
pose?”
It was difficult for me to conceal a
certain trepidation at the mention of
my fault.
“ No, I went o f my own accord.”
“H o certainly
I
«
must have been to
blame. He wae older and stronger than
you.”
“ On the contrary.” she said, with a
slight rising Irritation, “ be Jumped a f­
ter me like the noble little fellow that
he was.”
I turned sway on pretense of exam­
ining a boat down the river.
“ A t any rate, he must have begged
your forgiveness on his bended knees
for permitting you to go Into such dan­
ger.”
“ I never saw him again. He went
away.”
I fancied— at least, I hoped— I could
detect a tinge o f sadneaa In her volee.
“ I have often wished.” she went on,
"that he would come back, as the oth­
er scholars sometimes do, as you are
h o w . and let me tell him how much 1
thank him for his noble effort.”
“ JuUa!” I said, suddenly turning and
facing her. '"This Is too much. I am
that boy. I led you Into the wood. I
forced you to go on the dam with me.
I permitted you to fall In.”
"And you more than atoned for all
by risking your life to save me!”
Ah! that look o f surprised delight
which accompanied her words. It was
worth all my past years of suffering,
o f fancied blame; for In It I read how
dearly she held the memory o f the boy
who had at least shared the danger for
which he was responsible.
I do not remember If she grasped
my hand or I grasped hers. At any
rate, we stood hand In hand looking
Into each other’s face.

W e did not part after that for anoth­
er ten years. Then she left me to go
whence I can never recall her.
Yet there is a trystlng place In the
woods, through which we once passed
as children and often afterward as lov­
ers.
There I watch the flecked sunlight
and mark the silence, and It seems to
me that I can "hear It be still.”
More than that, I know the pure soul
looks at me through the honest eyes.—
