spot in the Juanita valley, shut in 1

whicli always seemed to us to shine
especially I ri'ht on our annual visit,
as if to make up fur the cloudy ami
stormy weather of March.
At the time of which I speak, the
anticipations lvfore start injr were
especially joyous. Harry, Carl an-.i
Francis, ayed respectively cloven, four
teen and sixteen, hod after earnest
ciTorts in their scho.il work been
promoted eaoii to the class alx)ve his
f-inner rank, ;iml were in consx-quenoe
proud and happy, thuujrh tired. I,
Loyal by iiifnv.-. a junior in a well

Wo packed our bas, took our rcnl-:
for trout li..l.infT was often frofxl. even
in early April, in a wcll-stnolcod br.Mjk
that ran aloni willow-fringed l-anks in
the south pasture and boarded th
train. At the station the hired i:i;in
met its with a pair of Morfran horses
than which I do not reincinln-r to have
seen better from that day to this, and
we were soon at tho hall door, shaking
hands with frrandinother and frrand
father. and, to our pleasant surprise,
with Aunt Celia, who, unexpectedly to
us, was at home. She was a widow,
having lost her husband in the Mexi
can war, and was a teacher of modern
languages in a girls" private school in
southern New York. She was one of
those rare natures that the heart in
stinctively trusts and no one of the
many grandchildren hesitated about
telling Aunt Ceclia his or her troubles,
always confident that something would
be done toward making the rough
place smooth or gaining the object
sought.
Carl and Francis were
ago when feats of daring
light to thcin. Harry was
ally timid nature, modest, and lacking
sometimes in confidence, and so was
often urged on by the other two, when
he shrank from attempting anything,
by such expressions as 'lJou't be a
coward, Harry!" A girl could do
that!"' which, by such a sensitive spirit,
were felt more than blows of the lash
would be. When I was by. the boys
would not indulge in these trials of
strength or endurance, but in my al
sence I knew they hurt his tender feel
ings by their taunts, though really
they did not intend to. A boy looks
for what he calls courage in his play
mate, and, if he does not see what ap
parently corresponds to his own, he
thinks him a coward, while the braver
of the two may really be the more dif
fident and shrinking one.
It was Saturday afternoon; we were
to leave Monday morning, and 1 had
gone to the post office, to mail a letter
to our father, telling him to expect us
Monday noon. Lehind the barn was a
large oak tree from whose trunk a
long branch ran horizontally toward
the shed roof, though at a considerable
distance above it. The boys had lieen
pitching quoits near the tree, and. hav
ing finished the game, looked about
for some more exciting sport. Francis
thought he saw it, so he cliinlied the
tree, crept out on the limb, hung by
the arms a moment and then dropped,
with something of a jar, to be sure, but
safely, on the roof, where he sat with
a satisfied look. He called to Carl to
follow him. CarL though unwilling to
try it, was still more unwilling to ac
knowledge any superiority of his older
brother in that line, so he, too climbed
up, crept out, and, when he had found
what he thought was a good place,
and had called out two or three
times: "Fran, shall I strike all right?"
dropped and was happy. Then they
both called to Harry: "Come on, Hal."
but he, overcome by the fear he had
felt that they would fall while attempt
ing it, refused to make the trial.
When they began to speak about what
"a girl could do," grandfather tame
out of the back door, where he had
been a silent spectator of the whole
alTair, patted Harry on the shoulder,
as-uring him that he'd more sense than
Carl and FraucU together, and bade
the climbers come down at once.
Cmndfather was a man of few words,
and they obeyed. Nothing more was
said. 1 returned soon after. We had
tea as usual and adjourned to the
library, where a genial fire of hickory
logs warmed and lighted the room.
Crandmother and grandfather sat in
their armchair on each side of the
broad hearth. I occupied an antique
chair I had found in the attic, and
which I was to carry home for my own
room. Carl and Francis sat on old
fashioned crickets, while Aunt Celia
had her low willow rocker in front
of the fire, and Harry leaned against
her, with her arm around his neck.
We remained silent for some mo
ments, when grandfather quietly fcaid:
"Celia, hadn't yon ln'tter tell the boys
the story of the walnut rod?" Vc
looked up in swift surprise. The wal
nut rod spoken of vrai one that had
rested, ever since we eor.M ron-.ernber,
across a pair of broad antlers over the
fireplace, with an old sword and two
muskets that had seen service at
Uuiikor J I ill and Yorktown. Often had
we, in lxiyish curiosity, asked what it
was, and why it was kept there, tied
by a piece of faded ribbon to one of tho
antlers, but ha-1 always lieen put oil"
with "by and by," and "when yon are
older." Now, when we saw a chance
to know aliout it, we chorused: "Oh!
yes, Aunt Celia, do toll, please," and
she, quietly saying: ''I sdpposa they
can learn its lesson now," b '-.'an:
"I was as you know, the only g-Jrl of
the family, and also the youngest
child, your father bino; two years
older. There were few neigh lors
when we first came hero to live; in
deed, our nearest was fully a quarter
of a mile away, so wo saw few besides
our own family. Your uncles, John.
William and Elijah, were several years
older, and so were busy helping father
in clearing the land and in its care.
Accordingly Henry and I were much
together. We studied the same lxn.k
at our mother's knee, played with the
same toys and were together so much
that the older boys sometimes culled
us "mother's two girls' Hut your fa
ther, though tender and gentlo in ap
pearance, had a brave heart under his
little jacket, and I knew lictter than
they that he was no coward. They
called him so sometimes, thinking. 1 lo
calise he seemed fearful about some
things they counted trifles, that
he really had no courage. I'm afraid
boys have forgotten nowadays that
mere daring is no testof true courage."
Here, Francis and Carl felt their faces
grow hot. but Aunt Celia said no more
and went on:
"It was one day in April, very like
to-day, that we all went upon tho side
hill to pick May rlo-.vers Henry w as
nearly twelve years ol.L. his birthday,
as you know, is next month, and I was
ten. It had always been a habit, when
people went out in the spring for flow
ers to cut a stout stick, to bo used
partly as a walking stick, and partly
as a protection against snakes which
were eftcn seen, but which usually es
caped before they could Im- reached.
Old pei.ple told of rattlesnakes that
used to be seen, but they were very
scarce, even then, and none of us had
ever seen one.
"We all had sticks cut from a bunch
of hickory saplings that grow liesido
the path, and your uncle Elijah said,
as we wore going along: 1 wonder
what Hon would do if lie heard a rat
tlesnake: turn pale and faint away, I
guess at which the others laughed
loudly, but Henry said nothing, though
I saw his lips quiver at the taunt,
"Wo found the flowers thick and
beaut if nl. just as you have this week.
Wo picked all wo wished, ate the lunch
w hich mother had put up for us, and
were sitting on a largo. Hat stone, talk
ing of starting for home. I saw a bit
of pretty moss under some twigs at the
edge of the stone, and stepped down to
get it, when suddenly a -H-culiar
whir-r-r, that we never had heard be
fore, struck our ears. All the boys
started up, looking alout eagerly. The
bushes at my side parted slightly, and
the flattened head of a large rattle
snake protruded, and again came that
dreadful sound Then the boys jumped
from the rock, each in a different direc
tion, and screamed, rather than cried:
Jump, Celia. it's a rattlesnake.'
"I could not move. I must have Wen
paralysed by fear, for, though 1 was
but a child, 1 could not misunderstand
my danger. Of course, what I am tell
ing happened in a few seconds but I
remeinlier hearing the swish that a
stick makes when it cuts through the
air, and the horrible head, with its
forked, vibrating tongue, was severed
from the writhing body, and fell at my
foet
"Harry had quietly stepped down by
my side, and with his stick, the one
you see on the antlers yonder, had
saved me from a dreadful deatli. There
ho stood, pale and trembling to lo sure,
but with sueh a light in his blue eyes
that none of his older brothers dared
ever call him coward, or girl, again.
We walked quietly home, I ringing the
body with its horrible horny scales, to
show to father and mother. I shall
never forget how they clasped us in
their annj as they listened to the story,
and how I wondered, as a child will, if
every body, when they were grown up,
cried when they were very glad.
"Nothing was ever said to the older
lioys. They had learned what true
bravery was, the scorn of self-protection
when another needed help, and
they have been lictter for it ever since.
Your father has never had the story
told to you. thinkinir that soin"tii!ie it
might also teach yon tho iess.m that
true courage from its root word, the
Latin eur, and down through the
French roewr, is both b -low and above
any outward manifestations, and be
longs to the heart.
"The snake must have come out in
to the sun from his den under the rock,
and was not as active as in warmer
weather, or the bite would have fol
lowed the first alarm. There has
never since been seen another in this
locality."
We sat in silence for awhile, and
then grandfather Fpoke, laying his
hand on Harry's curls: "I seem to see
my boy Henry again in his son. Harry.
I hope he will grow up into the same
brave, though tender, manhood of his
father, and remember, boys" lie said,
turning toward Francis and Carl,
"that recklessness and a desire to be
thought bold and daring are not an in
dex of true courage and often have no
connection with it. If the walnut rod
teaches you this lesson, its story will
le of great value to you.'" It. F. Col

It seems a mad land. The streets of
the cities are water; the whole land
scape is dotted with windmills grind
ing, not grain, but water; you may
walk along the : eashoro for days and
Ly no more able to ljn.l a pebble than
to tind a crown diamond, go a little to
the north where w hat by courtesy may
le called the land is a few inches above
high tide and there for miles and miles
you will tind the sea san.l ileal ly cov
ered with matting to prevent its blow
ing away! A still more astonishing
thing is that the laen and women do
not seem at first sight always under
stood) to belong to the same race. The
men, most polite and courteous in all
classes and hospitable to a marked de
gree, are staid, grave, formal and as
solemn as tho fotirteenthly of the ser
mon of a I'uritau divine. The women,
remarkably pretty, especially in Fries
land, which has more pretty girls in it
than any place on earth of the same
population lour own town, of course,
excepted) are gay. decidedly, although
demurely, coquettish, at.d i:t at all
averse to innocent fun. If, however,
the stranger be so fortunate as to gain
admittance as an intimate to the fam
ily circle of some Dutchman, he gets to
know that the men are really very jol
ly fellows, and that their grave formal
ity is only a national custom instilled
in them from babyhood. Hut there is
no country in Europe where it is so
diflieult for a stranger to gain such ad
mittance, for the Dutch do not love
men of other races
Lut the more one knows of this peo
ple the more the curiosity grows as to
who were their ancestors, an 1 w hat in
the name of all tiiat is wonderful ever
led them to settle in sueh a country; a
country that had not a tree upon it,
and has needoil to have millions of
Norway pines driven into its unstable
soil to hold its houses Hut. in the
early days how build houses at all'.'
There was not a stone in the country;
there was no wood and no coal, so how
make bricks? As there was no wood,
alisolatcly none, how make boats to
bring necessaries from other lands, or
to hunt aquatic animals? What did
that strange people live upon? The
soil was then certainly unfit for agri
culture, barren sand and water soaked
mud. There was no game except
water fowl, certainly no land animals
fit for food or useful for their skins
How catch lish in any such numbers as
to be a mainstay of life without lioats,
the fishing during at least three
months of the year Wing necessarily
on the sea? Why they went there and
how they survived are mysteries; we
only know that the tireless industry
and indomitable pluck of the race has
made the land to blossom as the rose,
and dotted it with fair cities.
The language of the Dutch seems a
cross between Cerman and English,
but the people are entirely unlike
either Oormatis or Englishmen, and
quite as unlike their other neighbors,
the Flemish and the French. They do
not like their neighbors, and in return
these neighbors, jealous of the Hol
lander's hard-came 1 success, -are al
ways throw ing hard words at them.
This, is a long introduction to my
personal experience of a Holland
storm. I was visiting a gentleman
who lives on an island just west of the
mouth of the Rhine. We had dined
and were enjoying some cigars when
the daughter of one of the dyke guards
came to the house with the new s that
a northwestern storm was blowing
the one wind the Hollander dreads. At
once the whole household was in com
motion. I had lieen once iu a hurri-
can in ul :i
the Holland
provi i -d by
am' a !.. r;
As il.e
. but that was a dry storm;
'torvi was 1 lu-rrnU I was
:ny host with an oil coat
r. aii's hat.
other men went out, I felt
it inv 1': ! , to follow them, but when
I got out of the door I became liewil
dereiL 1 could bear tin lMi!nii(r of
the sea agaitist the dike, but could not
sec; cl ere I had always found,
even on li e l.-i:-!;t ;. night-, a certain
glimm.-r of li-rht. but there the dark
nes, wasJiUe that of a closed room,
an 1 the 1;. in did not seem rain, but like
the dow iipo.ir ol a cataract; the ground
was c. vere.l everywhere with water,
which, as ihe island lies twenty odd
feet below the ordinary level of tho
so::, e.e.j 1 r:i'i .,;T. I was so bewil
drre,; that I turned to go back to tha
1.. 1 '. .e v hen a friendly hand was laid
upon my arm, and a g :it lo voice said:.
"Come, let mi' show yon the way." 1
Hit"'.": in X the voice I said, in!
aiiiai'.eni -tit : "Surely you are not go
ing i".e i:i this tempest '.''
o'.dy -'.; I always help when thcro
is dame-or to the .like."
We reached the dike safely, but
soaked, at h ast I was, for not Winjr
amp hi bious the water had the better
nf me.
Tho scene at the dil.e was. if tho
term is permissible, sublimely hideous.
The se:i was pih-d tip almost to the top,
and every wave, washed over. Tho
roar was deafening. Such masses of
water came over that the men wero
constantly knocked down, but my littla
friend soi'iiu-d as by a miraoV toescape.
She w as but a slip of a girl, not over
seventeen, but she took her place in
the line of men like a true heroine.
What astonished me most, however,
wa; the singular change 1:1 her appear
ance; there w a -. a row of lanterns, so
I : aw her clearly. At the dinner sua
had been exqu-sit.-ly and most daintily
d re sed, and as she sat at the piano I
caught a glimpse of a fairy-like fixit
clad in a silk slij.jH-r made from tha
same material as her gown. At tho
diiie she had on a pair of rough li-her-
111:111 boots which came
nve her
liliccs; into these were poked a pair of
boy's trouser. and the astoni-hing cos
tume was finished by a Jong, yellow
oilooat and a man's hat tied to her head
with a handkerchief. Yet she could
not help looking pretty. I told her
afterwards that she had reminded ma
of Kosaiind.
As 1 could be of no possible help,
aft. ran hour I went back to tho house.
The distance was only aliout a quarter
of a ie.:'.-. but h iw 1 ev.r reached that
h 1;: -' l as ,-ver since been a matter of
",v 10. . ! r t. me. Three times slipped
in the ;'t. spongy mu !; my but Llcw
oJT and nev r win found: 1 w as so wet
that ::lthoi; gli it was Miiiouer time I
felt bitterly col !: 1 missud n.v way and
got int. 1 a pi i-.ved Held, but 1 reached
the Lou-..- at la -I. and n c in of hot l -a

should I wear? Lut t h mail solved
thai question. She took C my room
a pair of trousers, sli .'-r., and
a most comfortable .ire .: ; , .,vii.
saving that t-he : . :: 1 .-o nn
when I had changed my things and got
my wot clothes and dry t'.em for me.
Within ten minutes I wa by a com
fortable fire that had be. n built in the
dining-room, with a jug of hot water
and a decanter of brandy at my side,
and the maid disappeared with my wet
garments
That girl was a genius.
In about two hours she brought my
things back; not only were they dry
and clean, but had been ivonel so that
they looked In'ttcr than they had
in the morning. The shoes, dry as a
bone, had Wen neatly blackened, and
with a clean shirt from my bag I
looked myself once 111 ire. The tem
pest went on with unabated fury, the
wind bowled and shrieked like an
angry demon, and the downpour of
rain still continued, an l I could not
help thinking with the most sincere pity
of the irallaut men and that fair. young
girl who were guarding their dike.
What use their being there was, or
what they could have done, heaven
and the Hollander alone know. 1 can
understand protecting a dike from the
outside with mats, but what can be
done from t ho inside. They certainly
were not there for pleasure. Doubtless
the shrewd Hollander knows a t-i.-k or
two about his dikes that a stranger
would never guess Not only his liclds,
but his very Jifo depends i:.ni it.
After a time the wind went down,
the rain ceased, the sky bn,' l.t -ne I and
the watchers returned w ith the i i.-.r-malion
that the wind was still blow
ing, had changed its direction and the
dike was safe.
On account of their kindly courtesy,
I shall always have n lender sjx.t in
my hi-art for the Dutch, but should po
litely request to bo excused fr mi being
out again iti another 1 1 kindish tcm-jN-st
I um not stitVu-ieiitly amphibious.
