"And THIS is the spring you had discovered?"
The girl nodded.
"And you and the cattle have daily used it?"
She nodded again wonderingly. Then she caught his hand appealingly.
"You won't send me away?"
He smiled oddly as he glanced from the waters of the hill to the
brimming eyes. "No."
"No-r," tremulously, "go away--yourself?"
The doctor looked this time only into her eyes. There was a
tremendous idea in his own, which seemed in some way to have solved
that dreadful problem.
"No! We will stay here TOGETHER."
. . . . . .
Six months later there was a paragraph in the San Francisco press:
"The wonderful Arsenical Spring in the Santa Cruz Mountain, known
as 'Liberty Spring,' discovered by Doctor Ruysdael, has proved such
a remarkable success that we understand the temporary huts for
patients are to be shortly replaced by a magnificent Spa Hotel
worthy of the spot, and the eligible villa sites it has brought
into the market. It will be a source of pleasure to all to know
that the beautiful nymph--a worthy successor to the far-famed
'Elise' of the German 'Brunnen'--who has administered the waters to
so many grateful patients will still be in attendance, although it
is rumored that she is shortly to become the wife of the
distinguished discoverer."
