ence OF one So ageu, anu none
knew better than myself how
much good had been done in the
great world outside by the thin
hands now resting on my Aunt'e
silk quilt.
"You may well ask, child. |
There was my old school friend,
Meta Barnes; she was a hot bis
cult victim. On her handsome
monument it says: 'Died-Meta,
the beloved wife of Lemuel
Barnes and in the certificate
was written: Disease, typhoid
fever::' rub it out and put hot
biscuit"
l could not conceal a smile.
"Do not laugh, Corinth, it is
sadly true. Lemuel Barnes was
tyrannical, exacting and selfish,
but he never knew it; he does
not know it now in his old age,
although his second wife has
taught him one or two truths.
For sixteen years he was a poor
man and Meta, loving him with
her whole soul, humored his
every fancy. One of the fancies
was to have hot biscuit on his
table every morning at $50 be-
fore he went away to his work,
and hot biscuit again for tea,
winter and usmmer; through
heat and cold, sick or we'll, those
biscuit must be made and made
by Meta, for no one else could do
it just as she did. Why, Cor
NTH, l have known Meta Barnes
to get out of bed leaving her wee
| baby asleep, while she, weak and
feeble, would stagger to her
kitchen, make a fire and have
the snowy, fiaky, dyspepsia Civ
ing compounds ready when Lem
uel was ready for breakfast.
Think of it; twice every day a
large pan of biscuit for sixteen
years; you are good at figures
and can reckon it in round num-
bers, but you cannot reckon the
dragging WEAKNESS, the pitiful
exhaustion of poor Meta with a
little family growing up about
her."
"Why did she persist in it:
why not rebel?' / asked. My
aunt looked reproachfully at me
81 thought you knew, Corinth
that women of the last generation
never rebelled, and it is only
now and then that one of yours
