Harte, Bret, 1836-1902

"Mr. Jack Hamlin's Mediation"

There was a tremendous
idea in his own, which seemed in some way to have solved that dreadful
problem.
"No! We will stay here TOGETHER."
*****
Six months later there was a paragraph in the San Francisco press: "The
wonderful Arsenical Spring in the Santa Cruz Mountain, known as 'Liberty
Spring,' discovered by Doctor Ruysdael, has proved such a remarkable
success that we understand the temporary huts for patients are to be
shortly replaced by a magnificent Spa Hotel worthy of the spot, and the
eligible villa sites it has brought into the market. It will be a source
of pleasure to all to know that the beautiful nymph--a worthy successor
to the far-famed 'Elise' of the German 'Brunnen'--who has administered
the waters to so many grateful patients will still be in attendance,
although it is rumored that she is shortly to become the wife of the
distinguished discoverer."
