The idea of an ignorant thing like you ever daring to come near her, anyway. I wouldn't be so darned mad at you, " she ended, "for you were a mighty good-look ing fellow and any woman might have been proud of your appearance, once she could overlook your dark skin, but you even fooled me, doggone you ! You lay there, now, and never do you dare to try to fool any more women . . . Three of us is enough in this neighborhood, anyway. " She drew a long sigh of relief after this speech and hurried ou...t of the cemetery with her empty basket; she had slipped away when she thought no one was observing her and intended to tell Ruth after her return what she had done with the exception of any reference to the ring which, as the reader may have guessed, was the wedding ring that Ruth had, up to this time, kept always on her left hand or in her jewel-case on her little dressing-table before which she always sat when she combed and brushed An American 161 her long and beautifully luxuriant brown hair; she had taken the ring off the night before, little dream ing that she was touching it for the last time, and sadly laid it among her jewels, thinking of the bright face and laughing dark eyes that had looked so hand some to her when he had put that little ring upon her finger, whispering of his undying love and of the fact that she and she alone was, and had been since his first meeting with her, the entire mistress of his hither-to untouched heart; she had even shed a few tears over the little ring, then, and old Mage, silently witnessing this fact, determined that she should never again have that opportunity ; so, after Ruth was sweetly sleeping, the old woman slipped into her room and removed the object of her scorn; she lay awake almost all of that night, planning how to secrete or do away with the visible bond that had united her dear young Lady to an unworthy mate; at length, toward daylight, it seemed to old Mage as if some one had whispered to her what to do with the ring so that poetic justice would be done to the first youthful passion of Ruth Wakefield's innocent life; acting upon this suggestion, for so it seemed to her, feeling sure that she had solved the problem so nearly affecting the life of the one she loved best in all her world, she carried out the plan she instantly formed, and^ while she was a very weary old woman, from lack of sleep and unusual exercise, when she again reached her much-loved home, she had within her 162 An American spirit a sense of satisfaction that was beyond any thing she had felt since Ruth had married the man whose grave she had, that morning, visited ; she felt, in some sense, to blame for the marriage, as she had not strenuously opposed it, and found herself much in the position she used to occupy when Ruth had been a little tot and she had allowed her to do some small thing of which she knew her parents would not approve.
