An Insubordinate Wife +!

Mrs. Giles stood in the front yard
hanging up her Mondays wash; the
last piece had found its place upon
the line,
"Done at last" said Mrs. Giles,
speaking to herself, habit in which
she frequently indurged. "Now, il
dinner was out of the way. l might
have time to finish Leonard's suit this
afternoon I've had it around so long,
Ii only had sewing machine, how
much l could accomplish and, pick
ing up her basket, she went into the
house. The prospect within was not
very cheering; the wash-tubs to clear
away and the dinner to place upon the
table. just as she began to lay the
table, Mr.. Giles appeared at the door
and ssid,-
"Put on an extra plate; that man
will take dinner with u.s."
Dinner was soon ready and as soon
dispatched, for ceremony was one of
the unknown things in the Giles fam
lily. Mr.. Giles and the stranger re-
tired to the sitting room to discuss the
merits of new reaper aud mower,
while Mrs. Giles remained and cleared
away the dinner table. When she had
finished and made herself ready for
the afternoon she went into the sitting
room. Mr.. Giles was saying: "If
you have anything new and better,
anything that will make work easier
and do more of it, I'm your man I'm
in favor OF all machinery that will
tighten work for man. Why, bless
you, just look around my farm; it's
run mostly by machinery"
'Profitably? Certainly" replied he
to an Interrogation from the stranger.
"Money in the bank" he added, never
emitting an occasion of mentioning a
small deposit he had in the city bank.
The stranger was gone at last, and
Mrs. Giles sat down with weary limbs
aud aching shoulders to finish a suit
Of clothes she was making for her old
est son, lad of fifteen. Slowly and
wearily the needle went in and out :;
stitch after stitch was taken, but to
little purpose; it did seem as if she
would never come to the last. But if
stitches progressed slowly, her
thoughts flew fast enough. The last
words of her husband fingered in her
mind, and again and again they re-

boiler or whole griddle, and cracked
door. No wonder l can't bake loaf
of bread decently. Then here l have
to sit and stitch for a week on this suit
when two hours on the machine would
complete it,"
1t is needless to recall all of Mrs.
Giles thoughts and words as she sat
stitching the hours away. A dim con-
sciousness of her wrongs aud a faint
determination TO assert her rights, en-
tered her mind. She had 80 long
