{"value"=>"<p>Hayden Carruth wrote: \"The Rented Dog\" with a view to its publication in the Woman's Home Companion. However, the editor, Miss Gertrude R. Lane, decided against it in its original form. Carruth derived from it two shorter stories that were published in the Companion: \"Mildred's Wedding\", published in Aug 1922, and \"Julius Caesar Redeems Himself\", published in Nov 1922. Two other stories derived from the tale, \"Owning Julius Caesar\" and \"His Master's Run\", did not sell so far as I can tell\". [note by Gorton V. Carruth, dated August 1957].</p>"}
