hat some one was talking in low, melo

Tho brook, aitur Lurrying tiirough a

heap of foundation stoneinlono remain

vinc3 and brambles, and adorned with
moist ferns and green moss ; tho rank
grass bent over tho tail-raco as if peer
ing after somo concealed mystery. Na
turo seemed to havo mado this instru
ment of man's necessities into a uniipio
plaything for herself. Or perhaps, 1
mused, this is tho whcol of Fortune,
who, wearying of It, has left it hero in
the caro of Nature, amidst tlio sedgo
and spray of tho water fall, and hasgono
on her way without it. So wo aro.
to luivo no up3 and downs in life here

checked by darkness and uuchocred by

for thy fickleness is tho lifo blood of

gish hearts of men should coa30 to beat,
and they forget to draw tho very breath
of life, and their souls, torpid nnd un

How much of joy and grief, of lifo nnd
death, havo clustered round tho turning
of that whcol, oven na tho ferns aud
vines cluster around It now! Methlnks
oven yet I feel the Inlluenco upon me.
"Perhaps thcro may bo moro truth
than poetry In your remarks," observ
ed my companion, though I was not
conscious of having spoken aloud. "Tlio
tragedies of our dally lives," ho con
tinued, in a tono which, whllo singu
larly Boftand musical, told of ono who
had seen, sinned, and suffered until
hopo was burled in ashes, "often appear
in somo way to instil their spirit, as it
were, into things wo call inanimate.
You hayo shuddered at tho thumb

and, If you removed not yourself from

"Your own rollcctlous in regard to
yonder old mill-wheel should throw
light upon that question," responded
tlio voleo of my companion. "Look nt
It n whllo again, and mark if It does
not answer you."
Thus urged, I llxcd my oyo.s steadily
upon tho wheel and let Iheni rest thcro.
Gradually, as I gazed, an lndcllnablo

slrango shadows seemed lo ill t and fauo
boforo my oyes. Tho warm Juno brco.o
camo laden with a chill, unhallowed
ossenco that stirred tho roots of my hair
with a creeping horror. I pressed my
hands over my oyes and Bhuddorod.
"Ah I" oxclalmed tho voleo again,
with n laugh half sad, half scornful,
"do you, thou, feel It nlready?"
"What Is It 1" I asked, speaking with
difficulty, and with asonso;of opprosslon
ot my heart. "Can you toll mo of It?
FRIDAY, JUNE 28,
"No ono no well," ropllcd my com
panlon; "and It was In order that you

So I lay at length upon tho green

could 1 plainly see, Bitting at my side,
n gloomy, gray faced ilguro, with do op
wrinkles scored upon hl.s hollow fheek
and round his stern mouth and sunken
eyes and thoughtful forehead. Speak
Ing In n tono that wavered between
satlto and palho3, ho began :
"Fifty yoar.s or moro ago this mill,
lltllo as lltoro is now left of 11, was a
very prosperous concern, Tho miller, a
widower, was an upright and Indus
triouit man, Willi a good reputation for
fin aoallngand flno flour, i To was look'
ul up to, moreover, among his neigh
bors, as ono possessing nu exceptional
amount of learning and leilnomcnt. In
demeanor lio was somewhat grave and
ttn ilurii, and ho might havo been bo
twr on forty nnd fifty yoar.s of ago. Ills
mn, a lino handsome young follow, aa
fistod him in tho mill; ho had built
h!ms"lf a littlo eottagoon the further
slope of the hill yonder, wlicnco ho camo
r very morning to his work, crosilng tho
brook by a slnglo plank bridge, thrown
nnws tlio deep rocky gully opposl to,
through which tho water ru.slics lo 1(3
fall. It was a slender niHilr enough, and
they often spoko of building a littlo
stone arch over tho chasm ; but it was
uover tlono. It would rscem a matter of
slight import ; aud yet, had that been
accomplished, yonder wheel, that hangs
thcro now so motionless, might havo
been revolving as incrlly nnd busily as
over. l-or tho worst devil is onuortu-
nlty."
"And how does that concern tho mat-
tor?" I would havo asked; butastrnngn
powerlesaness had overcome mo ; as In a
dream, I could not speak, nor even lift
my head lo question my companion
with my eyes. Tho voico continued :
'Ono day thero was an addition to
tho miller's household a fair young
girl, beautiful and fiesh, simple and
sweet, liko spring weatlier mado langi-
nie. v nonce sno camo no one could sav
tho general opinion was that sho had
been the daughter of an old friend now
dead ; but tho miller, whenever lio was
questioned, smiled and answered that
sho had risen ono morning from tlio
deep, clear pool abovo tho fall, and
though she scorned no moro than nn
unusually charming young woman, was
in reality a watorwileh, aud w ould ono
day return to her natural abode, and
leavo him moro dosolato than before.
In prool of tills assortion ho was wont
to prodttco a sort of chain or necklace,
prettily constructed of small shells,
which ho declared sho had mado for
aim provious lo her appcaranco abovo
water, and which was a talisman des
tined to bring him to great happiness or
misery, according lo tho uss ho should
mliko of it. Whether this wcro truth or
llction, there, at any rate, was tlio sweet
young girl, making tho mill a store
liouso of chcor aud sunshine, as well a.s
of meal and grain. Tho miller becarao
qtiilo illuminated and rejuvenated, and
his prosperity was great, cither by vir
tue of tiio charmed necklace, or, which
amounted lo tlio samo thing, becauso
all tho neighborhood was captivated by
thelittlo wator witch. And sho testified
all a daughter's affection for him, nnd,
for a season all went well."
In speaking of this young girl tho
tones of my companion's voico had
floivcd along in harmonious cadences,
a3 though llio tuneful freshness of her
personality had so inspired his nntiquo
imagination as to throw a faded ray of
sunlight into his shadowy heart. Rut
now ho spoko with changed accent, as
if an ancient bitterness were seeking ut
terance "A neighboring farmer, coming ouo
day to tho mill with a load of grain,
said, laying his hand with ponderous
friendship on tho minor's shouldor :
' "So thcro's to bo a wedding at your
housocro long oh, old friend ? Well I
glvo you Joy with all my heart ; for a
liner lad and a swootcr Ias3 than your
sou and yonder lltllo water-wllch, a.s
yon call her, wcro novor mado man aud
wife.'
"Hut tho miller started, and frowned,
and turned away. How was It dial tlio
sunshlno seemed to mock him, nnd tho
pleasant plash of llio water falling upon
tho wheel Jarred his nervc3 and Irritated
him? At tills moment a burst of cheery
laughter camo echoing down from above
tlio fall, mingled witii tho full tone3 of
a manly voice. At that ho turned and
entered his room, throw himself down
In a chair, his head on tlio table, and
writhed witii overmastering despair
and bitterness. Then ho put his hand
into lii3 bosom and drew forth tho nock
laco of shells.
'"This to mo, and her heart to him,'
ho muttered, with sot tooth. "Fool 1
not to sen and stop it boforo it was too
Ialo! Slio's lost forovor; and novor
know, and cared not, If I loved her. His
boyish, unthinking, ignorant fancy sho
values moro than tho strength nud
deptli of such lovo as mluo. But lovo or
not,' ho cried, starting up, 'ho shall not
havo her! Curso him I'd rather soo
him dead, and her, than man and wife'
"When ho had said that ho slopped
aud listened. Was not that tho sound
of mocklug, Jcorlng laughter? Rutin
another moment ho drew n breath, and
laughed somowhat nervously. It was
only tho mill-wheel creaking n lltllo on
its axle. A littlo oil would sot that all
right.
"Meanwhile tho girl and tho young
man sal (ogolhcr on the margin of tho

Just thou it harsh discordant sound
struck upon tholr (ors, causing them to
start uneasily.
' "What was It? asked tho girl with a
slight tremor in her voico. 'Was that a
laugh or a groan?'
'"Nothing but a rmty axlo,' ho ro
plied, kissing hor assuredly. Rutns ho
strode homowaid actoss llio fluid Ills
faeo wn.s serious, and ho did not whlsllo
as usual.
"As for tho girl, sho chimbcrod down
llio steop path, met tho miller at tho
door, kissed him as was her wont, and
so to hod. Rul sho res led uneasily, nnd
thero was n burning pain In her right
chock. II was whero his lip hud touch
ed her, but sho novor thought of that.
'And tho mlllor slept not nt all, but
paced up and down his room; nnd nt
last opened tho door and wont out Into
tho night. Thoro stood tho whcol, black
and sllont, liko n sullen enemy waiting
for him. For n long time ho stood gaz

It seemed as ir llio ovll In his heart

Tho next day,tho miller and his son
sat ou (ho bench in tho sun, closo to
whero tlio great wheel rovolved, nnd
tho white' foam rushed down the tail-
raco. JJut tho sun did not reach their
hearts. A heavy cloud ovorshadowod
thorn.
"'Never!' said tho old man, with an
oaih. 'I'd rather sco your body broken
on that wheel, and yonder whllo foam
tinged with your blood, than know
you wcro her husband 1' As ho spoko
tho wheel broko forth onco moro into n
discordant scream, as of devilish merri
ment. It had grown rusty again. Tho
young man rose, with n frown on his
brow and lips set.
"So be It!' he said. 'But sho is mine
in this world nnd the next. And what
sho has given you will, by your misuso
of it,bocomo tho very means of your

climbed tho steep path, and disappear
ed acro33 tho plank bridge. The old man
gazed after him In silence. 'What sho
ha3 given you I' ho repealed. 'Ddcs lio
mean tho tallsmanlc necklace, or tho
filial love, of which, perhaps, it is but
tho symbol ?' Then ho laughed scorn
fully. 'Italklikcafool.'sald ho. 'bclicv

''Tho young girl, who, standing
trembling within, had heard the words
that had passed, fled to her room, lock
ed tho door and Hung herself weeping
on tho bed. Yet her tears wore not so
bitter as tho dry eyes of tho old man.
"Thereafter tlio miller's household
was as gloomy as ilheroloforo had been
cheerful. Tlio son camo no moro to tho
mill, and tho girl moved about sllont
nnd palo-faced. Rutonoday tho miller,
who watched hor closely, saw on un
wonted Hush on her cheeks, and sho
seemed pro-occupied and abstracted.
The samo afternoon, as ho was standing
by tho wheel, ho looked upward toward
tlio fall, and saw her standing on tho
plank brldgo and waving her handker
chief as if to ono at n distnnco. And
from her handkerchief, as sho waved it,
lio saw fall a small fold of whllo paper.
It dropped into tho stream, hurried
down to tlio wheel, which caught It and
whirled it round as if in triumph, and
cast it in llio foam at his fcot. Ho pick
ed it up nud unfolded It. Itwasauoto
from his son lo tho girl, bidding hor
wait for him that night by tho mill
wheel, and that ho would tako her whero
thoy would bo married and happy. As
ho read, an ovll smllo broko out upon
ids face. When ho had finished it ho
wont slowly into tho liouso, and sat
down at his tablo and rested his head
on his hands nnd thought. At last nu
Idea scorned tostrlko him. Ho got up
and began lo movenboul t ho houso,look
ing behind tho doors, iu out and of tho
liouso corners, nud on high sholvos; ho
was searching for something ovldcntly.
After awhllo ho fouud what he sought
nothing but n rusty old handsaw. Ho
took it into ills chamber, nnd sharpen
ed and oiled it.
"Nouo of tlio threo slept that night.
Tho mill was not stopped offa3 usual at
sundown ; tho mlllor remarking ho had
au extra job ou hand, announced ids
Intention of keoplng it ruunlug till

out quietly by himself, empty-handed,
to nil appearances; but ho carried somo
thing buttoned up underneath his coat.
Tho girl took tho opportunity to collect
together whatovor belongod to her and
pack it into a small bundlo; then sho
sat down by tho window and waited.
Once, through tlio din of tho mill-wheel,
sho thought sho heard n grating sound,
faint but sharp, coming npparontly from
tho direction of tho plank brldgo ovor
tho fall j but It soou cca30d and was for
gotten. Not long after tho miller return
ed, palo aud haggard, and crept siloutly
Into his room. A great tremor had
taken possession of him ; ho shuddorod
porpctually from head to foot, nud his
very teeth chaltored. Ho tried to llo
down and rest, but could not j ho paced
tho room uneasily, occasionally pans
lug to Uslou Intently. Onco ho had his
hand upon tho door, ns If about to rush
forth and but oro ho could throw it
open n fearful sound os of scroamlng
laughter echoed through tlio liouso;
Pooh! It was only that rusty whcol
again, sounding tho louder becauso of
tho stillness or tho night.
"A long tlmo passed. Tho girl open

slopped lightly out of tho houso. Sho
looked up toward tho brldgo nnd list

tho night and tho din of tho whcol sho
eouid hear nud soo but littlo. So sho sat

hoar tho rush of tho fall, and saw tho
gleam of tho pool nbovo. In another
moment thoy would bo together ; his
foot was on tho plank brldgo.
"At that moment tho girl started up
from tlio bench, nnd her heart censed to
beat ; sho stood rigid, hor oyes pcorlug
through tho night. Tho miller, lu his
room, wns sitting with a nccklaco of
shells lu his hands ; ho was ou (ho point
of raising It to his litis. Ho dropped It
and fell lo tho floor, and tried to stop
Ills oans In vain.
"For a lorrlblo cry broko upon tho
darkness, making Ilnolf hoard above tho
din of tlio wheel nnd llio dash of tho
wator fall. Ero tho cry was lialf uttorod,
howovor,It stopped tmddonly,and novor
again was takon up ; but nomolhiiig,
surely, was coming down tho fall-n
qucor, Hlinpolos.s object, rolling ovor nnd
over, catching now nnd Ihon against n
rock or snag, slipping nway ngaln, and
hurrying onward and downward In mad
hasto n dark, heavy object, with loos
oncd limbs and white, gleaming face;
only that In tho tern pio was a Jagged,
bleeding hole, whero it had struck n
rock. Down it camo, faslor nnd faster;
tho girl saw it coming, nnd stood bolow
waiting for it. Now, with n rush, It
camo upon tho wheel, and tho wheel
caught it, nnd whirled It round, and
ground It down, and broko it, scream
ing nil tho whllo with devilish glee.
"Tho old man hadcroptout, and saw
the broken body boneath tho wheel,
and tho foam In tho tail-race red with
blood. Then, for tho first tlmo it seem
ed ns though tlio wheel spoko to him,
roltcrnting over and over again, with
(ho malico of a fiend, 'You havo your
wish I you havo your wish I you have
your wish !' Yes, his wish.
"Tho girl, meanwhile, stood motion
less and;sllent. Shodld notscream; thcro
were no tears iu her oyes ; but nt length
sho laughed softly to herself.
' "I told him I'd go back when ho
camo for mo ovor tho fall,' said she.
'Now ho has come, and I must keep my
promise.' Then, without looking at tho
old man, who stood stricken with a
double horror, sho glided swiftly nway,
and up tho steep pathway, aud so dis
appeared forovcr ; no ono saw her again.
Something, indeed, that had belonged
to her, was found afterward lying at tho
bottom of thocloar pool, with uplurnod
face ; but tho bright young girl never
returned to claim it.
"Littlo elso was ever found. What
othor mysteries tho brook knew, it bab
bled only to tho river, which in turn,
confided thorn to tho ocean, nnd that
was tho end. Only, tho next morning,
a Illtlo boy playing on the river-bank
bolow, found n flno largo pieco of plank
lying In tho drift, ono end of which had
been freshly sawed almo3t off, and then
broken. It was a prize ! Ho dragged It
to the neighboring frog pond, and fitted
it up as a raft, on which lio ferried him
self across. How should ho know that
a human boing had crossed nil tlio wny
over fromtimoto cternilyon thntpinuk
only tho night boforo? So tho old man
was quite nlono except for tho mill
wheel. "Everybody pitied him such a lorrl
blo misfortune I nnd his mind scorned
all'cclcd. Ho seldom spoko lo any ono,
aud wltlidrow himsolf gouorally from
sight. But it was wiiisperod that ho had
been soon sitting on tlio bench near tho
raill-wlioei, which ho nlwnys kopt
going, talking to it in n wild random
way, uud moaning and cursing. Ever
and anon tho wheel would scorn to
answer him with a quivering scream,
but whether of rago, terror, or laughter,
none could tell. That, of course, was bo-
caii30 tho axlo was rusty, and creaked.
And though tho old man spent a gront
deal of his tlmo in oihug aud cleaning
tho machinery, somehow ho novcr
seemed nblo to get at that particular
part whercfrom tho screaming came.
Indeed, to judgo from tho way ho went
to work, he wa3 not vory sanguine of
his success; but ho eoemcd resolved
novcr to glvo it up. No wonder; for a
moro unearthly sound could not well
bo imagined. Tho farmers going homo
at night across tlio dark fields, If thoy
chanced to hoar a confused sound as of
screaming, groaning, aud laughter,
would hurry onward as fast as thoy
could, and tell n wldo oyed clrclo at
homo how tho mad wheel nud tlio mad
man wero cursing each other.
"At last an oveulng camo it was
Just a year from tho time tho tragedy
happcucd-aud the old man sat, as usual,
ou tho bench outside the liouso, staring
at tho wheel and muttering. Ho was
much altered ; hU cheeks wcro plowed
with deep furrows, his eyes dim nnd
sunken, yet with n crazy wlldness in
thorn; his body bent and shrunkon.
But changed or not tho wheel had not
forgotten him; at intervals it broko
forth into peals of derisive laughter.
"Tho mau put his hand in his bosom
and pulled out a nccklaco of shells. Ho
drow It gently and caressingly through
his hands. Several times ho mado a9 if
to ralso it to his Hps, but always paused
and shuddered.
' "Sho's lost forovcr,' ho muttered.
'But I loved her.'
' "Ha I ha I' yelled tho wheel. 'Lost 1
lost! lost !'
"Tho man roso from tho bench and I
bent his steps toward tho ridgo. Ho bo
gan to toil painfully up tho steep path
toward tho spot whero tho plank brldgo
