The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-06-12

in his self-reproach for his uncon
scious share in the fatal accident, he
had taken it on himself to break the.
tidings to Ruth on her recovery. The
story which he told her was what we
partly know. Reuben was struckon the.
temple by the horses shoe, and killed
instantly. James Bent was severely
hurt, but had been carried home !,
sAe herself had received concussI0n
of the brain and had one wrist broken.
The day following the accident, by
James Bent's direction, he had writ
zen to Gilbert Harley.
Yes she said, feverishly, rousing
little for the first, as he came, in the
course of his story, to this.
:" There has letter coma to thee
In return
A letter? no more? The cold OBJ
duracy which had settled about her
heart chilled and hurt her sudden
". They gave her this letter,
and, childless, helpless, destitute,
she read the page which Gilbert had
taken off his lilac gloves to write to
her, the evening of Miss Proehaska's
that its words seemed Indifferent.
Ruth remaiEad in Refuge. When
her story was known the people set
about finding a way to help her.
Owing to her lame wrist she. could
not sew, and they established her,
therefore, in. a,ilttle shop. Thls was
In December. She was. Thrifty and
provident; twas soon seen that she
would do nicely. For her part, she
did her work conscientiously, making
no analysis of her feelings. For
awhile, on account of her wrist, she
could nolwrite her husband. By and
by, when she was able, she felt a
strange reluctance. to. do so. She was
not sensible of hard feeling toward
him.. but to write him was SO like
tearing the wrappiDgs of a raw sore
that it was dreadful to her to do it,
and so she wrote seldom, and more.
colby than she was aware of; she had.
wanted him iercely; he had not come
to her. Some way she gave him up.
Her brain, in fact, did not seem clear
as formerly, since the accident Her,
feelings were torpid. Everything in
her former life appeared TO have
| been very long ago. 1t was. an
effort to remember. There was. not
much suffering in this condition,
and it left room for those soothing.
religious influences which eliminated
from the character of the people
among whom she lived. By degrees
her devotional feelings became per-
haps rather morbid She had costa.
cies; she spoke in the meetings. They
talked of her as having passed through
the baptism of fire and received the
inner light. The truth was that her
mental condition was disorganized.
She saw much of Friedrich Heckel;
at first he seemed to claim the right of
suffering with her, and afterwards her
exultation, her abstraction from what
he would have called gross, carnal
suffering, created peculiar sympathy
between this stricken woman and the
man whose spiritual concentration
made it said of him that he came to
fight the Lords battle with soul
stripped of sense like sword strip
ped of its sheath.
