FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. it was on the day of tho summor solstice, and tho glow of midday lay on the cornfields. At times a fresh wind swept over from tho mountain forest near. Then'tho, stalks bent low, and tho poppies on the edgo of the field soattered their delicate pet als. Crickets and grasshoppers chirp ed in the grain, and from the black thorn on tho roiulsido tho goldham mor onco In awhilo let her gentlo call bo hoard. - Through tho cornfield, which ex tended from- tho valley to tho moun tain, walked in tho narrow path a young woman of slendor yet strong figure. She worev tho customary plaited skirt, and for protection from the sun's rays a red kerchief. On her left arm hnng a basket, and in" horright hand eho carried a stouo jug. As tho goldhammer in tho thorn hedge becamo awtrro of hor presence her fluttered to the highest twig and called softly, "Maiden, maiden, how do yon flourish?" But tho bird was mistaken. Tho blond Greta was no maiden, but a young wifo, and now was on her way to her husband, who fellod wood in tho forest above. When tho fair one had reached tho border of tho forest, she stood listen ing, and soon tbo strokes, of a wood man's as told hor where to turn her steps. It was not long before sbo saw ber husband, who fellod a pino troo with mighty strokes, and with joyful voico sho called to him. "Remain standing where thou art," responded be. "Tho tree will fall direotly." And tho pino troo gave a deep sigh, bowed itself and tank crashing to thq earth. Now Greta camo nearer, and tho sunburnt woodcutter took his young wife in his arms and kiasodhor fond ly. Then she sat down on the truck of the treo and" took the .food from tho basket sho had brought Hero Hans laid down tho bread from hi3 band, took his ax and said, "I havo forgotten something, " steppod in tbo lirection of the fallen pino and cut three crosses in tho wood. 'Why dost thou that, Hans?" ask ed the wifo. "That was dono on account of tho wood sprites," explained tho hus band. "Tho poor creatures have a wicked enemy, who is tbo wild Jrant 3rr Day and night ho waylays them ind bants tbom with his dogs. But if tbo pursued littlo women succeed in escaping to such a tree trunk then tbo wild huntsman cannot harm them bccauBO of the tbroo crosses." The young wife's eyes grew largo. 'Hast thou ever root a wood sprito?" iskod she, curious. "No. They only rarely let thorn- iolvca be econ. But today is the aol itico, when they become visible" And suddenly ho called with aloud ! roioointo tho forest, "Wood sprite, i ippcarl' Ho bad only dono this in order to tease bis wifo. but on tbo holy m id rum mcr day one should not jest I bout such things. At onco a lit 'Jo woman a yard high, dclicatocf form and very beau 'iful of faoa stood beforo tho pair. Sbo woro a long white garment and in ber golden hair a spray cf wiaLlo- j toe. I Hans and Grata wero very znncb ! frightened. Tbry raised up hastily ; from their scats, and Greta- mado a i bow. the best she could da j -"You have called mo at good j timo," said the wood sprite and 1 pointed with forefinger to the crb cf tho iran, that stood almost over her bead, "and a good dcod" here the little woman pointed to tho marked tree stump "is tho other reason. joUI and silver bsvo I cot to givo tway, but I know of something bet ter. Come with ma It wilf do roa v banti, and take ronr Jug. Yoa ill bo ftblj to mske ue cf if," Bo sho' spoke and led tho "way. Bans shouldered his woodman's ax, Greta took up tho Btono jug, and both followed the littlo woman. Sho had a walk like a thiol:, and Greta J plucked at her husband's . aleovo, pointed to the waddling littlo woman and' would have whispored some thing Into his ear, but Dans lnid Mi forefinger on her mouth. Nothing hurts sprites more ..than to bave n person ridiculo their gait." They havo feet liko a dack, and thorefoi-o they wear long, flowing garments to hide them. - After a short time tho throe arriv ed at a clearing. Very old trce3 stood in a circle around tho meadow. Out of tho grass ' aroso lilies" and bluebells, and great butterflies rested thereon, waving their wings to and fro. And Hans, who thought ho knew tho wholo forest, could not ro niembor to havo ever crossed this place. On tho edgo of tho meadow stood a small house. The walla wore cov ered with the bark of troes, and tho roof was shingled with tho scr.los of pine cones, and each scnlo was fas tened down by a rose thorn. Hero tho wood sprite was at homo. She led her guests behind tho house and pointed to a spring whoso wator gushed silently from tho black earth. Succulent colt's foot and irises grew on its brink, and over its-t surface danced green and gold drag on flies. "That ia tho fountain of youth," said tho wood sprite. "A bath in its water turns an old man into a boy and an old woman into a girl. Eut if ono drinks tho water then does it ward off old age until death. Fill your jug and carry it homo. But bo economical with this precious wator. A drop on each Sunday is enough to keep you young. And yet, again, as soon as thou, Hans, dost cast thy eye on a strango woman, or thou, Greta, on a strango man, then tho wator loses its virtue. That mark you. Now fill your jug and faro you well." So spoke tho wood sprite, refusing tho thanks of the lucky couplo, and went into the house. Gretrt filled tho jug with tho wator of youth, and then they hastened homo as quickly as taey could to their cottago. Arrived at homo, Hans pourod tho water into a bottlo and sealed itwith fir rosin. "For tho prosent, " bo ro marked, "we do not find tho water of youth necessary, and wo can economize. Tho timo will como in deed when wo will hoed it." And then they placed tho bottle in tho cupboard' whore they kept their treasures a couple of old coins, n garnet chain on which hunga gqlden penny and two si Ivor spoons. Eut Greta took great caro that tho water lost not its virtuo. And how they did tako themselves in hand 1 When tho young forester wont by tho garden before tho houso and exchanged a greoting with Greta, as indeed bad been hi1? cus tom, then Greta looked pot up from her vegetable bed. And when Hans sat in tho evening in "Sho Whito Stag, " and tho pretty Lisi brought him wine, then bo mado a faco liko a cat during a storm, and finally bo did not go any more to tho inn, but remained at homo with bi; wifo. Thus tho water must certainly ro- Hairr-ita magie power. So thoro passed for tho young cou ple a-year of lovo and happiness, when to tho two camo a third. In tho cradle a chubby boy kicked and. cried, so that tbo father s heart leap. ed for joy. "Now," thonght he, "jsj tho timo to open tho. bottlo. What thinkest thou, Greta? A drop of tho water of youth would do thee good. " Tho wifo agreed to the proposi tion, and Hans went into the room where the magio potion was preserv ed. With hands trembling with joy bo loosed tbo cork, and oh, woo, woo! the bottle slipped from bis bands, and the water of youth pour ed over tbo floor. Ho camo near fall ing to tho floor bo was so frightened ovor the" misfortune. What was ho to do now? Hia wifo roust on no ac count learn what had happened. Sho might dia from frighfc- Porbaps ho con tell her later what bo bad done. Perhaps also ho might find the fountain of youth again, which be had certainly sought in vain, and he might repbico tho loss. He hastily filled a new bot.'lo, whichrwaa just like tho lint, with well water, and well water it waa akto that be gave bis wifo. - "Ab,how it refreshes and strength ens one!" said Greta. "Tako a drop also, daar Hans." And Hans obeyed and praised tho I virtao ef tho magic potion, and from that timo cacii took a drop every Funday when tho church tll was ringing. And Greta bloomed liko a to.-, and Hans' veins swelled with health ami strength. But be post- proud the oonfjkm cf Lis jlocJ from day to day; for he hoped ia hi j heart to yt find- the water of youth ; but, poo in through the forest aa ho Would, ho could cot diKxrvcr tlo mcsTIow where tho wood uprito livoL Thus posited some years. A sruH maiden jctnod tho hi tie boy, and Frau (irutM'a onco round chin Lad becomo doabla Sho borc!f ccrtain- i ly saw it not, for tbo mirror was not yet In eiuicuvo Li tli L.yn. H.t Baw it lndbed, bnt avddod speaking of it and redoubled hia love for his portly wifo. Then there happened a misfor.. tuno, at least Greta held it to bo such. As she swept the house ono day tho small Peter, hrr eldest, camo upon tho cupboard in which stood the bottle with tho supposed water of youth and clumsily overthrew tho bottlo, so that it broko, and tho con tents were ppillod. . "Oh, thou gracious heaven 1" la mented tho mother. "It is lucky, though, that Hans is not nt homo." With trembling hands sho gathered up tho fragments from Iho floor and replaced tho bottle by another, which Eho filled with ordinary watorr-lACer-tainly tho deoeptiou will soon bo fouqd out, for now ia it all over with tho ovorlastiug youth. Alas, alasl" . But for tho prosent sho did not wish to toll her husband any. thing about it. - Again considerable timo pasaod, and tho couplo lived togotbor as on tho day when tho priosfc had joined their hands in marriage.- Each one carefully avoided lotting tho othor know that youth was post, a and each Sunday, conscientiously took tho inagio drop. Then it hap pened that ono morning a gray hair romained botwoen Hans' fingers as he combed hia hair. And ho thought, "Now ia tho timo for mo to toll tho truth to my wifo." With a heavy heart ho began: "Greta, it seems to mo that our wator of youth has lost its strength. Look there 1 I havo found a gray hair. I am getting old. " Greta was frightened, but compos ed herself, and forcing a loud laugh cried: "A gray hair I When I was a littlo girl 10 years old, I had even then a gray lock amid my hair. Tbo liko baa frequently happened. Thou hast lately dressed ft badger. Per haps something, has bnj)ped to your hair from tho fat, for badger's fat, you know, colors tho hair gray. No, dear Hans, tho water has not lost its old virtuo, or" hero tfho cast an anxious glance on him "or perhaps thou also Cndest that I am growing old?" Now Hans laughod vory loudly. "Thou old! Thou hloomo3t indeed likonpoonyl" And thon ho throw his arms about her and gavo her n kiss. But when ho was clono ho , said, with quiot thankfulness: "God bo thanked ! Sho knows not that wo are getting old. Now it matters not. " And similarly thought tho wifo. m On tho evening of tho eamo day tho young folks of tho village danced to tho fiddle of n wandering musi cian, and ro couplo wheeled morb merrily under tho linden than Hana and Greta. Tho peasant women mado sarenntio remarks, to bo Buro, but tbo two heard nothing of tho ridiculo in their happiness. After that it hnpixmcd in tho fall ns Hans with his family waa eating a Martinmas gooso that Frau Greta broke a tooth. Tbcro wus great la menting, for she was" bo proud of her whito teeth. And wbon tho couplo woro alono together the wifo said in an unsteady voice, "This misfortune would not have occurred if tho water" But -at this Hans blurted out: "You think tho water is pood fcr eyprytbing. Has ft not cfttm hap ponod before that a child has broken ' out a tooth by cracking a nut? What hast thou against tbo cxcollont wa ter? Art thou not fresh and sound as a roso? Or perhaps thon bni-i turned thino eyes upon another that thou mistrustcat the virtuo of tho wator? Then the wifo laughed, wiped tho teora from her checks and kiijed ber husband so that tho breath almost left him. Butinthoafternoon, when they Baton tho etono bench beforo tho bouso door and sang two prrrt songa about true lovo, tbo pass.'jrsby said, "Tbo silly old people." How ever, tbo happy encs heard them not. So passed many year. Tho bouso bad becomo too small for the chil dren, Tboy bad rodo forth, bad married and bad children of their own. Tbo two eld peoplo wero agdin alone and wero as dear to each other as on their wedding day, and every Sunday when tho church tall rang each drank a drop from tho Cask. Then once again tho day of the summer sobitico drew near.- On tho evening beforo Hans and Greta sat boforo their door and locked toward tho heights whero tbo St John's tiro LLizod, and from tho distance sound ed tbo mirtb of tho young follows and maids, wbo stirred tho fro end I sprang through it3 flames in oonplos. Then the wife said: "Dear Hans, j I Would liko to go onco more to tbo forest If thou dosirost it also, then will wo start early in tho morning. Bat thou trmet waken mo ccrly, for whoa tha elder blossoms tho young women like to sleep until tbo sua is high in the beavens. Haa ogrcod. -Ou tho next morn ing ho wa'-rrnd hia wife, and t'icy went together into tbo forest They walked liko lovers, sad each gavo a careful beud to the steps of tlie other. When Hans csulioxIy jumped over tho root of a treo, the wifo said, "Ah, Haiis thou leapcst indoad like a -young kid," and when Greta tim JJb' stepped over a h'rJs tUith hrr Lu.:!.Tn:l Hn-tulAriffd: Talk - up your dross, Grota. Jump!" And then they selected an old pine tree, feasting in its shadoen what Greta had brought with her. - "It was hero," Bnid Hana, "whero tho wood sprite appeared to ua that day, and thero yonder must lio tho forest meadow with tho fountain of youth. But I hayo never again found tho meadow and tho spring." "And, God- bo thanked, that has ma.ttored not," hastily interrupted Greta, '.'for our flask ia still far from being empty." "Certainly, certainlyj' nodded Hana. , "But yot it would plenao me if wo could boo tho good wood sprite again and thank ber for our good fortuno.,Come, let us go and seek, her. Perhaps I will bo aa lucky to day aa formerly. " Thon t hoy sot out and went deeper into tho forest, and after a' quarter of an hour saw thero beforo their eyea tho sunny forest meadow. LiliC3 and bluebells bloomed m tho grass, gay colored buttorflioa flow to and fro, and on tho edge of tbo forost stood also tho little houso, just aa in yoars before. They went toward the houso with beating hearts, and, best of all, thero was indeed tho fountain of youth at hand, and dragon (lies in green and gold hovered over it Han3 and Greta stepped to tho brim of tho spring. Thoy embraced each other and stooped ovor tho wa ter, and from out tho clear surfaco of tho spring thero confronted them two gray beads with friendly, wrin kled face3. Then hot tears foil from tho eyes of tho old couplo, and they stood stammering and sobbing in mutual guilt. It required a long timo beforo it bocamo clear to thpm that each had deluded and for long yoara had lovingly deceived tho other. "Thou hast ao known that wo havo both grown old?" cried out Hana joyously. "Of course, of course," laughed tho wifo nniid tears. "And I also," rejoiced old Hans. Then ho took hia wifo and kissed her as on tho day sho had said "Yes" to him. . - Then tho forost sprite suddenly stood boforo tbom, as if sho had sprung up out of tho earth. "Welcome, " said sho. "Yon haro not appeared boforo mo for a long timo. But; but," continued tbo lit tlo woman and thrcatoncd with her finger, "you havo kept a bad homo with tho wator of youth. Wrinkles end pray hair! Ah, alii Now," con tinued sho again, "that ia easy to remedy, and you are como at a pood hour. Quick I Spring into tha foun tain of youth. It ia not deep. Dip your gray bcad3 under. Thon shall you seo a miraclo, Tho bath will.ro storo to yoa youthful vigor and beauty. But, quick, bc-furo tho sun sinks !" Hana ncd Grota looked at each other. "Wilt thou?" naked tho hus band in an uncertain voico. "Never, " answered Greta quickly. "Oh, if thon only knowesthow hap py I nm that nt last. I may bo old ! Besides it would bo impossiblo on account cf our children and grand children. No, giac'ona forest sprite, a thonsond thanks for your good dcod, but wo remain aa wo aro. Ia it not so, Hans?" "Yea," codded Hans, "wo remain old. If thou couldst but know, Greta, how well your gray Lair bo cornea you." "Aa you will," said tho wood sprite, a littlo vexed. "Thero is no ceremony hero. " So Fpeaking sho went into tbo houso and locked tho door behind her. But tho eld couplo kio4 each other anew. Then thoy stopped homoward arm ia arm through tho ; forest, and tho midsummer sun shod a golden ligbiupon their gray heads. I Frcr.i tho German of Rudolf Baurn- bach For Short Stories.
