Latin Mills, II recalled, among my
memories somehow connected with it.
that Of remarkable leap for liberty
about Is years ago prosecuted a
young fellow for the crime of burglary.
He was convicted and sentenced to pris-
on for a term Of six years. After SEN
tence, as he was being conveyed by a
deputy sheriff from the courtroom to
the Jail, across the passage connecting
the two buildings, which have often
regarded as Bridge of Signs, the
young burglar suddenly sprang over the
low hand railing, which was then the
only protection of the bridge, landed on
his feet 45 feet below, and, recovering
himself, made bold dash for liberty
He started on run north OH Dearborn
avenue, pursued by deputy sheriffs and
policemen, and was finally recaptured
in barn not far from Lincoln park
When they brought him back, his face
flushed, mis- eyes flashing, his shirt col
lar thrown open, he looked like young
hero of romance. A few days later he
was taken to states prison, where he
served his term.
Passing over the Clark street bridge
there required to me the memory of an
other leap-one for life. One evening
about five years ago on approaching that
bridge found it open and crowd Of
about 800 men and women in state

me that woman had fallen into the

through the crowd, threw off his coat
and vest, put his hands together and
shot into the water He caught the
woman as she was going down the third
time, struck out for the shore, and both
he and she were landed in safety.
II heard man say to the rescuer,
What's your name?' I have no name
in which the public is interested, he
replied. But you're a hero, urged the
man, and your name deserves to be
made known The young man shook
his head and peremptorily refused to di-
vulge his name. happened to get a
good look at the fellow, and there came
to me sudden flash of recognition. He
was the same one who had made the
leap for liberty from the Bridge of Signs

fellow after that, !" continued MIR. Mills.

q warmth OF gold. all summer stored,
The goldenrod gives up,
And filed from springtiInes scantier hoard
Shines the sweet buttercup,
And from the singing of the brseze
And low, sweet sound of rain,
The little brook learns melodies
To sing them back again,
Forgotten all the cloudy sky
OF dark days overcast;
For flower hearts let gloom go by,
But hold the sunshine fast
And all year long the little burn,
Though wintry boughs be wet,
Picks out the happy days to learn
The sad ones to forget.
