Miss Celia, who sat near the door, had
bright spot on each cheek.
Maybe we had better not watt"
she said, quietly, "since things are so
bad. I'm not afraid to CO."
There was chorus of "Ohs!" and
negatives. Only one little, weazened
woman who did not count for much
save to do great deal on the sewing
machine. said she'd "go if she was
needed"
This pushed the plan about the
nurse to head and one was to be
telegraphed for at once. But at that
moment Alfaretta burst in breath.
lessly:
Excuse me, but the parsons down
fairly ravin' with fever. He's been
sick all day, but I thought he was
just tired out. / got to have help"
"The fever!" gasped Miss Julia, re.
treating hastily.
"They all huddled away into a cor
ner, leaving the little woman and Miss
Celia in their chairs.
Alfaretta's eyes swept the room
with sarcasm not to be misunder-
stood.
"The fever, yes!" she announced.
"and he man of God that went
down among 'em over there with no
thought of danger. Now he needs
help"
Miss Celia reached down her hat
from a hook behind her. The small
woman folded her work up.
"There's no need Of any more" said
Miss Celia in low tone, 1--WE can be-
gin, anyhow, and they'll telegraph fol-
q nurse. I'll not stand back, and Mrs
Hodges will stay with me-"
"Don't you dare go!" shrieked hel
aunt, you'll bring the fever home"
"Then 1 won't come home" Miss
Celia said. I'm oil alone, anyhow
and it don't matter"
She went out of the door. Alfarette
and the small woman followed, some
what amazed at the turn matters had
taken. At the parsonage door the
handmaiden grasped Miss Celia'i
arm:
"I've made lots O. fun O. you te
him." she said, hoarsely, "but take
It back. You've got the real feeling
you have"
Miss Celia smiled wanly.
"No, / haven't" she said. II didn't
care q straw only to have little fur
going on and beat the others. But
I'm not afraid"
Then she went steadily up the stair
way to the room with the blue pin
cushion and monogramed towels.
But there are PEOPLE in Redwood
who believe that Providence played
them a shabby trick when the fever
came over from the Flats and the
minister's long illness ended with Z
marriage.

Claims Elizabeth
Cady Stanton.
A Leading Exponent Of
Woman Suffrage.
All her Life Devoted to This
Work.

New York, Oct. 27.-Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the we'll known woman suf-
fragist, died Sunday at her home in
West Ninety-fourth st. Old age was
given as the cause of death. She was
conscious almost to the last About
q week ago Mrs. Stanton began to fail
rapidly, and it was known to the fam
lily that her death was only question
of days or hours. . s.
The children with Mrs. Stanton
when she died We're Mrs. NJ. F. Law
renee and Mrs, Stanton Blatch, of
New York; Henry and Robert L., Of
New York, lawyers; Theodore, Of
Paris, and G. Smith, real estate
broker at Warden Cliffe, L. I. The
funeral will be held Wednesday. The
interment will be in the Woodlawn
cemetery. She was 81 years old.
Mrs. Stanton was born in Johnston,
N. Y, Nov. 12, 1915, six days after her
father, Judge Daniel Cady, descend
ant OF, the English revolutionist, Jack
Cade, had been elected to Congress
Her mother had taken the deepest in
terest in the exciting campaign imme-
diately preceding Elizabeth's birth.
and 1t was largely to this parental in
fluence that Mrs. Stanton afterward
ascribed her instructive desire to par
ticipate in the rights and duties of
ft.a
All who knew her in childhood
agreed that Elizabeth Cady was
thoughtful, but rebellious, girl. She
despised puritanical ways of living
and thinking, and did not hesitate to
exploit her thinkings in these matters
with a pungency that terrified not
only her family but the entire COM
munity. The spirit that animated her
at this period animated her to the end.
She belonged to the age Of agitation.
She gained high honors at school at
an early age and when she had scarce
ly reached womanhood gave herself
with earnestness TO her life work of
seeking reform in laws which she re-
garded as doing injustice to her sex.
During a visit to Peterboro, she met
Henry b. Stanton, one of the most
eloquent and impassioned abolltionist
orators of the day. He wocd her as
ardently ais he attacked slavery, and
though she encountered heavy oppo-
sition from her parents the young wo-
man married Mr.. Stanton in 1910. 1t
was chara cterlstic of both bride and
groom that their wedding journey
should have been to England. for the
purpose of attending the worlds anti
slavery convention, to which Mr..
Stanton was a delegate.
1t was at this convention that Mr..
met Lucretia Mott already
a prominent pleader for women's suf-
frage. and together they planned the
tlrst woman's rights convention ever
held In the United States, called at
Seneca. N. Y, in 1S4s. In support of
a motion which was offered at this
Mrs. Stanton made the
first public speech Of her life. From
that day forward she became one Of
The representative women Of America.
