NEW ENGLAND RUTH
IN THE EMPIRE CITY

We find the young wife playing on
the piano and singing gayly In Leigh
ton Graves Osmun's story Of THE
Clutch OF Circumstance" tSully and
Kleinteich). She had golden brown hair
and wore patent leather slippers. The
scent OF blossoms filled the air; It was
spring: the pretty young performer felt
the joy of the season.
The story remarks the cold and severe
spirit OF the New England village where
Ruth Lawson lived. II tells US that
Ruth was "a subject Of comment" II
says. The Harbury god is hard god.
jealous god who In supposed to look
at all joy not OF the religious kind
askancc, and she was too happy. too
carefree. too filled with the JOY OF living,
and worst Of all she was trying to make
her husband like herself" Plainly she
was not disturbed by the village opin-
ion. We read: Now she ran her fin
gers over the keys and sang with all
the abandon OF complete happiness
She threw back her head and her white
throat fiuttercd with melody. No bird
pouring out its soul amid the blossom
ing foliage was more carefree. more
contented than She She heard her
husbands heavy step crunchlng the
gravelled walk. His massive frame filled
the doorway. He was not handsome
man. His features were large and
stern. He kept the village grocery store.
We think that the reader will doubt
John Lawson from the first and will
not like him.
II will be- noticed that John was hated
by his horse. a spirited young animal.
II was while John was trying Ia light
cigar with his last match that the
watchful and malicious creature got
the bit in his teeth and bolted. The
story says here: prince was fired with
the thought of success. At last ne was
the master; that helpless thing back
there in the wagon was his to do with
as he pleased And he meant to Kill
him. Kill him II II meant his own deat tn
as well. Prince knew as exactly as did
John where the gully was. and into II
he meant to hurl himself. pulling after
him the carriage in which was the man
he hated" The shocking plan Of the
horse was perfectly carried out, except
that John was not killed. He was, how
ever, terribly injured, and Ruth had TO
seek work
The experiences Of Ruth in New York
were at first hard and afterward rather
glorious. The fashionable doctor who
received fabulous fees. who got $4,000
