A RUSKM STORY

In 1853. when Ruskn was In his fortieth
year. he was asked by friend to give some
lessons in drawing to a child named Rose La
Touche-whose name indeed was French, but
whose family were Irish. There sprang up be-
tween Ruskin and this young girl very charm
ing friendship. which. of course. at the time
could be nothing but friendship. They wrote
each other letters and exchanged drawings and
then for awhile they did not meet.
Ten years passed by before they saw each
other Meanwhile the child whom he had re-
membered as a blue-eyed saucy clever little
blonde with ripe. red lips and hair like fine
spun golc. had become very lovely young

be what she regarded as "a true believer"
Some OF the things that he had written shocked
her as being almost atheistic. She was her
self. underneath all her gayety of manner a
rigid and uncompromising Protestant. She
used phrases from the Bible In her ordinary
talk and when she spoke of marriage with John
Ruskin she said that she could not endure to be

was 63, she gave him her final answer She
would not marry him unless he could believe
as she did. His honesty forbade him to de-

they parted, never to see each other again.
How deeply she was affected is shown by the
fact that she soon fell Ill. She grew worse
and worse. until at last It was quite certain
that she could not live. Then Ruskin wrote
TO her and begged that he might see her She
answered with note In which she feebly
traced the words:

When Ruskin read this his very soul was
racked with agony and he cried out:

love her even more than God"
