on this Slde of the house ran a beautiful stream of water A weeping willow bent its drooping branches out over the water Beyond could be seen large fields of Waving gram At a far distance the standpipe of a neighboring vlllage could be seen It was about ten minutes after sunset Just the tlme when those most beauteous hues of every variety can be seen tintlng the sky By now Glen had only a short time in Wh1Ch to refresh hlmself so maklng a hasty toilet he went downstairs Supper was then served after Wh1Ch Eura sang and played several pieces and then the family retired The next day Harold Glen and Eura rode over to the neighboring village Whlle on the way they dlscussed the plcture in which Glen had been so lnterested and Eura promised to show him some of her other sketches the following day Early the next day Glen and Eura went for a walk They came to a beautlful stream so they sat down Eura undid her portfolio and began showing Glen the different sketches as she had promised Then she showed him a picture which caused him to smile It was a picture of a dark night An automobile was standing 1n the road On the side of the road stood a young man and a mlddle aged man To one side stood a slight girl What IS the matter? she asked but for a reply Glen onlv asked And you were the girl in that auto? Yes she answered and yes looklng closely at him I am not mistaken you are the one who rescued us I am the one who warned you but that was all Oh she said I am so glad I have often thought of you and wished to see you again and papa wlll be so glad Days passed on The friendship existing between Glen and Eura ripened into love and when the vacation was at an end she had consented to become his Wlfe Mr Grant had now returned so Glen decided to ask for h1s consent as he had already gained Mrs Grant s He knocked at the llbrary door and at Mr Grant s gruff Come 1n entered They talked on various sub Jects but finally Glen said Mr Grant one dark night dovsn on Elk river ln Callfornia you told me lf ever there was anything I wanted at any time to ask you for it and lf' it was 1n your power you would grant it I have come to ask you for that reward Mr Grant I love Eura and I want her to be my wife At first Mr Grant couldn t answer he was so completely taken aback but finally he said Glen It is a great request but as you say It IS in my power and I don t know anyone to whom I would be more w1ll1ng to entrust Eura so take her my son and my blessing go with her Glen and Harold went back to school That year Glen graduated and was soon installed 1n his new office Then he went back to Virginia to clalm his reward He and Eura were quietly married and Glen sald he had won an ample reward for the risk he 1ncurred on that dark nlght I J 13 , . 5 n T . . . . . . ,- ' r 1 s - Y . v r ' v a . , . . . . . .
