then that low, delicious laugh broke
from her lips as her finger tips brush
ed his sleeve.
Oliver, puzzled and quite as silent
as his fair pursuer, doubled and turn
ed and twisted and found difficulty in
evading the grasp Of her hands.
There was no sound in the forest
save the ring of their skates upon the
ice and the occasional fall Of some
frost laden twig. In the distance blue
jays were screaming, and occasionally
the call of a crow came down from
some altitude.
All at once, when Oliver had again
slipped through her little fingers, the
girl stopped and pressed her hands
over her beating heart.
cts not fair. Oliver" she pouted.
"You have decidedly the advantage
of me. If 1 had not been handicapped
I would have caught you long ago."
Oliver Ray caught his breath sharp
ly. What was this girl saying. and
| why did she call him Oliver?
Again she spoke, this time with an
acute note Of anxiety in her sweet
| voice.
Don't tease, Oliver. Won't you
speak? Your silence frightens me-"
Again her head was bent in that lis
| tening attitude, only the eyes turned
| toward the young man were pitifully
| eager.
II wonder if you have not made a
mistake began Oliver gently, when
the sound Of his voice startled her
into a terror that carried her swiftly
to the other side Of the pond.
ooh. who is it? Where is Oliver?"
she walled.
IT am Oliver Ray" said the owner
of that name apologetically. II am in
charge Of the surveying party, and I
took the liberty of enjoying a quiet
skate on this pond. / am sorry If I
frightened you. but 1 thought you
could see that I was a stranger"
81 thought it was my brother Oliver.
He came down to skate. and I was
following him. Sometimes he tries to
tease me by keeping very quiet and
pretending that he is not here. Have
I-have I been pursuing you around
this pond%" she asked in a horror
struck voice.
81 rather enjoyed the exercise" ad-
mitted Oliver with a smile.
"And your name is Oliver also?" she
asked suspiciously.
"Here is my card, if you will look at
it" said Oliver, Juggling at his breast
pocket.
"Oh, I couldn't read it; I am blind"
she said simply.
"Blind! Good Lord, how could I
guess that?" gasped Oliver. "Why, If
/ had only known l might have saved
you all this trouble. Pardon me, but
1t does not seem possible"
ut 10 only too true" said the girl, a
tinge Of pathos in her voice. Then. as

citation, 1911.

Oliver had discovered the forest in
closed pool as he tramped through the
woods on his survey Of the territory.
The ice was thick and dark and smooth
as glass, and it invited him to test it.
The next day he deserted his assistants
and sought the frozen pool with a pair
Of skates slung I've his shoulder.
He was kneeling on the bank fasten-
ing his skates when he heard the
sound Of light footballs on the thin
crust of snow. He looked up.
A girl Ia coming down the wood
land path, swinging shining skates
over her shoulder. He could see that
she was dark, with soft masses Of curl
ing black hair and large black eyes; a
lovely rose color bloomed in her cheeks
and tinted her tender lips. She wore
a bright red skirt with q jaunty fur
jacket, and on her head was perched a
cap of something soft and feecy.
The girl did not seem to see Oliver
as she came lightly down to the edge
Of the pond and knelt down to adjust
the skates TO her pretty russell shod
feet.
For an instant she poised on the edge
of the ice like a bright hued bird.
Now she suddenly dashed toward
him with fur gloved hands outstretch-
ed. Instinctively he lodged her en-
brace, and as he slipped past she ut
tered a soft %ehuckling laugh.
There ensued the most startling ex-
perience in divers career. For a half
hour he was pursued about that small
icy space by this girl of the fairy
form and luminous black eyes. Not
a word did she utter, but now and
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1911-05-18

If his own quiet tones had treasured
her, she went on: Il was not born
blind. l could see as we'll as anybody
until a year ago. and then one day I
fell through the ice in this pond and
contracted a form of rheumatism that
the physicians say caused the loss of
my sight"
But it is not incurable. Surely you
must recover your sight some day."
protested Oliver.
A clear whistle sounded through the
woods, and. following the crash Of
frozen branches, a youth Of sixteen
came running toward them. "Oh,
there you are. Elsie! Are you all
rightY' he called anxiously.
"Yes," she said severely. "Where
have you been, Oliver LewisY'
II didn't think you would be down
so o Elsie, and l ran on to chin q
little with the surveyors beyond here,
and I forgot all about you. When
did remember l didn't lose any time
getting here, you can bet" he looked
curiously at Oliver Ray, and the girl
introduced them with a repetition OF
that delicious laugh.
II was afraid you might fall in.'
said the boy after shaking hands with
the tall young man. you don't want
another cold BATH"
II escaped that" said the girl. "Be'
sides, Oliver, dear. the ice is quite
firm, isn't it"
mot over yonder. Oh, 1 forgot, Ell
sic, dear; you know the place between
the four poplars"
Eyes; that deep hole"
TITS thin there. I chucked a stone
in yesterday and it went in kerplunk
1t isn't growing any colder either. Be
sides, who wants to skate in there
anyhow"
II would" said the girl d%aringly-
that is. if l thought l would fall in
Perhaps the shock of the icy water
would restore my sight" She turned
her soft appealing eyes toward the two
divers.
Don't you dare try, Elsie!!" cried the
boy. "You might catch pneumonia
and die, and what would dad and ]
do then"
"But I am so helpless half sobbed
the girl. putting her hands before hel
sightless eyes.
All at once, without warning. the ice
upon which they stood separated into
one cake which capsiZed them into the
icy waters Of the dark pool.
1t was Oliver Ray who bore the
brunt Of the rescue. Elise lost con
seriousness at once, and her brother
gave her into Rays stronger grasp
while he tried to fight for life. In the
end it was Ray who saved them both
Afterward he never could tell how II
happened that he lay painting on the
surface with the unconscious form OF
the girl beside him, while young Oliver
puffed and blowed and sobbed over his
sister.
Then Oliver Ray brought forth the
emergency flask that he always car
ried on these surveying trips and
trickled a few drops between the pale
liDs. After that 1t was only a short
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1911-05-18

while before they carried her home on
a litter improvised from Rays heavy
overcoat. 1t was a short walk through
the woods to the edge Of the extensive
lawns that surrounded the Lewis es-
tate, and before long the three half
frozen victims We're being blanketed
and put to bed with hot water bags
and many fiery internal doses.
It was three weeks before either one
Of the trio stirred from bed. Ray had
taken q severe cold, and so had young
| Oliver Lewis, but Elsie had once more
fallen q victim to the dreaded rheuma-
tism, and no coercion of the white
capped nurse who presided over the
sickrooms in the motherless house
visit from either Of the other GONZALES
cents. Then at last came the day
when Oliver Ray was to take farewell
and rejoin his party Of surveyors.
Mr.. Lewis. who had become warmly
attached to the young man, invited
him into the library to say farewell to
Elsie, who was now sitting up. At her
feet sat young Oliver, trimming over
with the joy Of renewed health.
"Here is your rescuer, Elsie" said
her father. "Mr. Ray is leaving US
now, and perhaps you better tell him
the good news"
Elsie turned her head very slowly to-
ward Oliver Ray. and her large dark
eyes met his with a different express
sion in their melting depths. Slowly
they wandered over his face, at first
wonderingly and then gladly, and at
last, as if conscious that she was be-
traying her pleasure in his exceeding
good looks, she blushed and turned
her head away, but her hand remained
in his.
"She a see!!" uttered Oliver incred-
ulously, and Mr.. Lewis chuckled as
sent, and his son turned an ecstatic
handspring on the rug, crying: ut was
the shock Of the icy water: The doctor
says he a cure rheumatism all right,
but he's forbidden sis to skate any
more"
II don't care" smiled Elsie radi-
antly. II shall always love that pool.
If it had not taken away my sight I
would not have known the blessedness
Of it's restoration"
And if God had not sent Mr.. Ray
to the pond I might now be childless,"
said Mr. Lewis with emotion.
Oliver Ray went away with a dizzy
light in his eyes and a recollection of
the happiest three weeks he had ever
spent. Today had been it's crown Of
Joy. He walked through the woods
past the pool, which had melted now
and lay dark under the afternoon sky.
As he stood here looking down into it's
green depths thinking Of the blessed
Providence that had sent him to the
skating place that wintry day there
came also to him the thought Of how
the pool would look in June. when the
forgetmenots fringed its borders and
when the love notes Of the wood thrush
broke the exquisite silence.
There was another in the picture
Elsie with lovelight in her eyes for
him.
