he said as he replaced the locket.
In the meantime Jared had been
thinking. 1t began to occur to him
that in his way he was fond of Serena,
and no one cooked so deliciously as she
did, for though there was a hired girl,
with the new stove, Serena did the
most difficult part of the cooking. She
was very particular, and found it i'm
possible to let others do that which she
could do better.

The New Woman at Gibson Farm

Jared Gibson would not have been
more surprised if one of his velvet
eyed Jerseys had risen and walked up
right and demanded an extra feed. He
was too amazed to do more than stare
for a moment.
well, Mr. Gibson, do you agree to
your wife's proposition? She is to have
half of what Mr.. Wycoff gives for the
place, and it is to be settled on her eX-
clusively She is not to pay the ex-
penses of the household or farm"
Jared wondered If the shrewd lawyer
had an X-ray that enabled him to read
what was passing in a mans mind.
She's got here; the new woman's got
to Gibson farm, an she's my wife" he
groaned. "S'reny," he ventured in as
near affectionate accents as he was
capable, you said at first two dollars
and half. an now you go an ask for
half"
Il didn't know my own vally, then"
she retorted, grimly. "Them's my
terms, Jared. I'll have a stove an a
hired girl now, an Il buggy to go to
meetin. What do you say, Jared?"
III give in, but who'd thought it OF
you, S'reny? You want to seuander
money at your time of life, an Sis
schooln' so high"
This wouldbe pathetic appeal did not
soften Serena: she was tasting the
sweets of liberty, and would not abate
one jot of her demand.
"Firs' time ] sot down sense I can re-
member, 'cept at work an meals" she
unused. leaning back in the chair.
'Sreny, air you goin' to be so hard on
me, when I've worked an saved all
these years for Si?"
you've worked me, Jared, but you
amt saved me-" she retorted, unmoved,
looking up at the hard old face.
Lord, S'reny. you air comm 1t
strong! The idee os woman wantin'
to squander all that money, at your
time Of"
"Everybody's squandered cept me.
amt goin' to throw my money away,
Jared-but I'm goin' to have it. Sis
mother amt never cost you cent, for
I've armed the clothes wear, an I've
cooked for twenty men, MIXED COWS,
an shaved all my best days. 1 guess
I've armed rest"
There was nothing for Jared to do
but yield. Serena gained the battle;
the new woman had come to Gibson
farm, and come TO stay. TO the sur
prise of Jared, Silas, when coming
home for the summer, upheld his motn-
er; woman who could wrest her rights
from his father was to be respected
His resemblance to his father was eX-
ternal only The boy had a better
heart, and beautiful girl had taught
him women We're mems EQUALS: their
superiors in some particulars.
He had gone to college with archaic
Fideas concerning women; he had left II
with more than mere book learning
The apprenticeship he had served in
trying to win the professors daughter
had made man of him in the best
sense of the word: for he had studied
and graduated with distinction
He listened without interruption, and
taking his mothers work-worn hand in
his, said:
You are right, mother. / wish you
had acted so twenty years ago. Father
why do you not build a new house? /?
You are able to do so. This one is
small and uncomfortable"

ing drudge of years took the pen, she
said:
What am I to sign. Jared; want
to know"

paper without any more toolishness.
It's none of your business" he replied,
dictatorially
Excuse me-" interrupted Mr.. Thorn
ton, with quiet decisiveness, sit is so
much Mrs. Gibson's business that the
sale can not be made without her sig
nature freely given. Mrs. Gibson, will
you have this chair, and give me your
undivided attention."
a painful flush rose to the woman's
face; it was the first time in the fifty
five years of her existence a man had
offered her chair.
Jared muttered some undeacon-like
praise, and uneasily watched his wife
as she listened to the lawyers reading.
Some revolutionary scheme was being
planned, thought the lawyer.
1--WE signed my name. Come,
S'reny."
"Frum what I've heard you tell
seems like l can't be made to sign
that there paper" she said, addressing
the lawyer,
Certainly not, madam"
"Then l won't. There!"
She fired off this defiance with the
same dogged spirit her ancestors had
fired at the British.

II want some of that money" she
reiterated.
wait, S'reny. if you'll sign I'll give
you them last two rows of currant
bushes"
She broke in fiercely. you know
they won't bear for two years or more.
l want-two dollars an half"
AS she named the pitiful little sum
Mr. Wycoff whistled, and the lawyer
was dumfounded
1.-TWO dollars an half! Why, S'reny
what can you do with all that money!"
queried Jared with beaten air.
II can get new dress an bunnit
an! go an see the keers; I've never
seen 'em, though they air jes' ten mile
from here"
Mr.. Thornton had recovered the use
of his tongue, and determined to use 1t
in behalf of Serena.
Mrs. Gibson, while you are asserting
your rights. demand more than two
dollars and a half. Your husband
without your help, would not have been
able TO accumulate a large fortune
You should have half and l advise you
to make that the proyiso of your sign
ing"
A sparkle lighted the faded eyes, and
the bent shoulders Strengthened. This
advice was acceptable Once she re-
solved to declare her independence,
she was prepared to go farther
you hear, Jared? won't sign with
out I'm to have half I've worked thir-
ty year for you for nothln'; l want

made Wycoff and Thornton cough to
disguise a laugh.
