when she first saw Miss Lusk, but
scarcely knew who she was.
Five years ago, into the little
town of Waukesha, came Grace
Lusk, school teacher, age 81,
holding college degrees from
American and European institu-
tons of learning, a woman of rare
intelligence, and a brilliant con-
Iversationalist.
Much Sought After
She was at once besought by
club women and cultivated by
those who desired to snatch such
crumbs of intellect as she chose
to scatter in their midst.
Shortly after her arrival in
town, Miss Lusk was given a little
party by group of representative
citizens, including the mayor and
the minister with their wives, the
postmaster. the high school super
intendent and wife, the leader of
the church choir, and several ELI
gible bachelors, who probably ex-
pected to make hit with the
IleW school mafm.
Among the guests were DR..
Roberts, the town veterinarian,
and his wife.
Mrs. Roberts Remark
Naturally, when possible to do
so without her hearing, opinions
were exchanged about the new
teacher. Guests mingled in groups
chatting socially, and the minis
ter's wife, standing near Mrs.
Roberts, said: Well, what do you
think of Miss Lusk?" The horse
Doctors wife replied: "She seems
to be real brainy, but those white
shoes certainly help to show the
size and ugliness of her feet"
Unfortunately, the school teach
err, unperceived by either of the
two women, had been close enough
to overhear their conversation,
and to Mrs. Roberts remark may
be traced the cause of her untime-
ly end.
Pride Wounded
A woman's pride was wounded.
Her taste and her physical ap-
pearance had been assailed, and
such wounds do not heal readily.
Three years later Grace Lusk
was sought by the doctor to write
the preface for a textbook which
he was preparing on the study of
cows.
From a purely commercial
standpoint she accepted his propo-
sition and started the work.
Sought to Get Even"
With Mrs. Roberts remark of
three years before still ranking in
her memory, she steeled herself
to accept the attentions of the
doctor just ito get even"
But 1t must be remem bered
that this was the woman's first OK
perience in receiving tine atten-
lions of a man, and the sensation,
the wonder of it, amazed even the
woman herself. The doctor. flat
tered that the brilliant and capa-
BILE teachs:- was apparently pleas
