...they did, by doing newspaper work in Philadelphia. Gruger remained an illustrator. After 1899 when George Horace Lorimer became editor of the Saturday Evening Post, Gruger became the mainstay of that magazine. The Post's romantic and period fiction by such experts as Joseph Herge-sheimer and Donn Byrne got half its atmosphere from Gruger's oldfashioned, deep-browed men and frail but credible ladies.

His Erin is a Ruritania set to music, a light operetta in which broken hearts, murder, the open road, gentlemen disguised as tinkers, and a couple of good rough-&-tumbles lead inevitably to the old sweet finale. The Road to Nowhere's pages are damp with manly sentiment and the hero ("a man amongst men, simple men, kindly men, men who could be terrible, men who used strong language...
