STORY OF A CRUTCH. 125
this stream, it has never been known; but there it
is said to be still dancing, invisible to all but the
helpless sojourner, who only beholds it after some
weeks of probation at the Springs.
The original invalid who came with the crutch
to the Springs, left very suddenly, to avoid all que s-
tions and remarks on his recovery;
and often afterwards,
whenever he heard that a friend
had gone
to the Springs, would be heard to remark, *I hope
he may see the dancing leg.'
