The cows ARE not MIXED, John
snid his wife. she tried 10 speak In n
mutlcr-of fact why. but the trcmor In
her yolrc betrayed the import OF the
simple statement.
Harris paused with n boot hnlf n
laced. While his recollection of Bcu'
luh's Defiance was clear enough. II
had not occurred 10 him that the girl
actually would stand by her guns. lie
had told her TINT she would milk the

stunned. as % mnttcr 81 course. that she

better than To say That your women
folk ARE either lazy or stubborn, but
there's II point where imposition, even
the imposition NJ II husband, has to
stop, and you've reached that point.
You didn't have 10 stay In the field
until dark. There's another dny rom.
Ing aud the plowlngu keep. II isn't
Ike the harvest. II was Just your own
contrurincss that kept you there, You
fired the best man you ever had today,

being very unfairly used, but he had
uu intention Of shrinking from his

Of them.
