THE RING. Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. Amy Talbot has been overworked for so many years that she has gotten completely out of touch with life and new Ideas. She finds this out when her son Luther returns to the farm with his newly married wife, Claire, and when Jane, her daughter, comes home from college. She cannot under stand their new ideas, and finds them making Amy, the youngest, discontented. Claire and Luther quarrel; Claire goes back 1o the city, taking Amy with her. Eventually Jane and Luther go away. Mrs. Talbot is go worried about her girls that she braves her husband's anger and goes to them in the city. Amy is studying for grand opera, and will not look at the always-faithfu; Dick; Jane is in love with a doctor too poor to marry her. Everything in thj city shocks and terrifies the mother Luther and Claire are separated: Claire wants a divorce. Amy's prettiness attracts scores of admirers she threatens to marry a rich man she does not love. Jane is on the point of going away with the doctor, who does not want to marry her. There is no sympathy between the strict and narrow ideas of the mother and the broad, but what she calls "loose" ideas of the children. Then the doctor finds a post in a South American mining camp, and can p.fford to marry. lie and Jane elope and go to South America. Luther has a not3 from Claire. Amy's engagement to Adam Arnold, rich and more than twice her age, is announced. Chapted 91. The news of Amy's engagement got ?bout. of course. That very day when s-he went to rehearsal, the dressing room buzzed with it Amy tried to avoid talking of it. ft range to say. "How did you hear all that?' sho countered, when a dozen questions came at her. asking her if it was tru-i she was "to marry the richest man in New York." . A chubby little brown haired gni told her. "My roommate is a friend of a man named Thompson, and he's press agent for the Tweedle Sisters. They told him" It seemed to have come direct from an authorative source. "Why not admit it? I'd advertise the fact all over town,' the chubty girl went on. She looked like the most demure little mouse; she had be?n n school teacher and a Sunday school worker: she sang now in a big city hoir for extra money, and she had the reputation of being one of the "swiftest" girls in the city. "I want to keep it quiet for a tinn. Amy said, hoping that would end the discussion. "All right, we wont tell, But .is long as we know it, give' us the de,aDetails! Amy saw them in a flash. The details were that she had flirted outrageously, violated every principle she once held as feminine dignity and aloofness, broken Dick's heart, made her mother miserable and lost he. brother's respect, to say nothing of her own good opinion of herself. "You don't look like the joyful little bride-to-be.' the chubby girl commej cd "Never mind, you will get used
Heart Problems
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 26 year? .old and I am in love with a man 1.2 vears my senior. He wants me to niarrv him, but my mother is bedrid
den and I have to stay with her. 1 consented to marriage if he would live here with me, but be will not do it. I told him that I would never be happy if I left my mother. He said he would make me happy if I married him, anv that I would be sorry if I didn't, lie is a traveling man and he is to tal a trip to England soon, and he wants me to accompany him and make it our honeymoon. I didn't know whr.t to do. My mother says I should ;.o and a neighbor woman will take car-? of her, but I am afraid something wilt happen to her while I am gone. PUZZLED. Your mother loves you more than the man does. Hers is an unselfish love and for the sake of your happiness she tells you to go and leave her in the hands of some one else. ;She only thinks of you and forgets herself entirely so that she will noi s-tand in your way. The man probably loves you In his way, but its is a small way because he will not support you in your desire to do the right thing. If you never marry, you will feel that your life has been blighted and that you have been cheated. But if you many a man who shows so little heart. I am afraid you will regie I. your decision bitterly and will be haunted with the thought of your neglected duty. .
to it. Going to pay off the mortgage on the old home farm?" Amy froze up. The farm had no mortgage to pay off she 'could not even do that! She could buy her mother handsome clothes and give her a luxurious home where she would not have to work or to worry. That idea cheered her. She listened to the chubby girl singing in rehearsal. She had a voice of angelic purity and sweetness, and a trick of raising her solemn brown eyes and drawing her pale mouth to a wistful droopiness that would take her out of the chorus into real operatic rolea some day. Amy knew her own voice was not as good. But this girl was intriguing with two men for a chance to sing principal roles, and would some day sing and trick her way to success. Amy was marrying her way to sue cess and thereby making herself en vied by her comrades. She went home after rehearsal with time to eat a light supper and gc back for the performance. Adam's cv was waiting to take her there and back, Adam himself could not come. Poor Adam could not stand many parties; he always took a day off to recover. At home she found a small box with her name on it. She opened it idly, another gift from Adam. From the black velvet lining a diamond ring actually burst upon her the only way to describe the flash of the huge stone as it caught the light when the bax was opened. Her engagement ring, of course! She looked at it without any emotion except surprise that a diamond could be bit large. There was the inevitable note , "This is the biggest I could find. Galavina wanted it, and I got it away and have been saving it up for months. I will call at the opera house for you " So this was the very stone the great singer, Galavina, had been trying to
buy! Amy slipped it on her finger it fit, of course, for Adam had her ring size. She still looked at it cur
iously and impersonally, she had seen diamdnds enough on the big singers.
only somehow, she had never quite believed them. The stone to her was
a great piece of glittering glass.
' Then she remembered that Galavina
had been talking of the number of
thousands this stone was to cost her. And she. Amy Talbot, who IS
months before had been scrubb'n; windows in a frame farmhouse, he
nails black, half moons from dirty
water, was wearing a stone covete 1
by one of the richest singers on the
staee!
She looked at it on her finger. It actually had no relation to her han 1
at all; it blazed and flashed and almost
screamed aloud for attention, it stood
high above its platinum band, and
mocked her little covert cloth suit and
her wash waist. "How vulgar of him! she comment ed briefly to herself. Of course Adam would buy the biggest diamond in the city! Her mother came to the door.
"My land," she cried, surprised into
her old countryfied speech. "Do' you mean to say that's a real diamond?" Tomorrow Dick Comes.
