Vanderbllt Buying of D., L. & W.
Rumors thift W. K. Vnnderbllt and
his frleucls had made nn offer of 260 for
a largo block of Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western stock caused a quick 7
polnt udvance to 238 in the price of that
stock in the stock exchange yesterday
on dealings In SOO shares. These rumors,
coupled with rumors of an Impending
anthracite coal railroad deal by which
the Vanderbllt Interest and the Penn
sylvania railroad interest would benefit
jointly resulted in nri uncommon activ
ity for all of the anthracite coal road
stocks.
Inquiry elicited the information from
persons allied with Lackawanna Inter
BALLARD WYCOFF, with his law
yer, Elmer Thornton, drove out
to the Gibson farm, Wycoff go
ing to have the papers signed
about the place he wished to buy
from Jarcd Gibson. As their driver
stopped at the gate of the Gibson
farm, both gentlemen glanced nt the
commodious stables nnd barns, i:nd
then at the dwelling house, which
looked like a chicken coop in compari
son. "Thornton, this is a case of tho beast
faring better than the men. That
house! I believe I like this place bet
ter than the one I am to buy."
"It has a prosperous air, certainly,"
inswered the lawyer, as they walked
3i the path to the house. The yard
cvas bare of flowers; Jaied considered
them useless trumpery.
A thin vlsaged woman, prematurely
old from grinding toll, opened the door
nt their knock. Her calico dress was
threadbare, though spotlessly clean,
nnd carefully patched. She wiped her
thin, knotted hands with a checked
apron; they weie dripping with suds.
"What mought be your business?"
she Inquired half suspiciously. In her
eyos all men wore tyrants, ntort? or
less; we are apt to judge by personal
experiences.
"We wish to see Mr. Gibson," replied
the lawyer, courteously, but as lie
would address a servant, as ho consid
ered tho woman.
She motioned them Into a cheerless
.room she called the parlor, and going
.tho back door, called out cleurly:
rJared, oh, Jared, come to tho house;
lu're wanted,"
'Rather familiar, that, for 'a help,
It that may not bo unusual In this
let of the world. Has Air, Gibson a
Inlly?" Inquired Mr, Wycoff.
,'rA son, a second edition of himself,
krd as Massachusetts granite. I saw
Im when his father brought hhn to
office whtjn he was taking the boy
college. They are, I mean Gibson
considered honorable in his deal-
tse."
A slow, heavy, masterful step was
?urd over tho bare Hour, and a grlz-
llo-bearded man walked Into tho room.
lie was neatly dressed as befitted a
Ivell to do man, but neither gentleman
Iras prepossessed In his favor.
"Sorry to keep, you wultln', gentle
men, but I've Jew coma to hum, Been
louylu' some fine southdowns; they
'rvore dirt cheap at thirty dollar a
head,"
"You have u beautiful home, Mr,
aibson. We shall have to ask you to
call Mrs. Gibson. I suppose she Is
willing to give a conveyance to the
'place."
"8'reny? Wall, I guess she Is.
What's she got to refuse for? Tho
women ) these hero parts uln't got no
now notions In their heads, an' I hope
to the Lord they won't.
The question had evidently surprised
him, He culled, and the woman who
had given them admittance, answered
the Imperious summons, fanning her
heatPd face with her apron. To the
astonishment of tho gentlemen, Jared
Gibson said;
"Come around, S'reny, an' sign this
paper, and hurry dinner, so's then)
gentlemen can .get a bite."
The habit of obedience was strong,
but aa tho unquestioning, uncomplain

ing drudge of years took the pen, she
said:
"What am I to sign, Jared; I want
! to know?"
"Women are gettln' curus. Sign that
paper without any more loollshness.
It's none of your business," he replied,
dlctatorlally.
"Excuse me," interrupted Mr. Thorn
ton, with quiet decisiveness, "It 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 tho fifty
live years of her existence a man had
offered her a chair.
Jared muttered some undeacon-llke
praise, and uneasily1 watched his wife
as she listened to tho lawyer's reading.
Some revolutionary scheme was being
planned, thought the lawyer.
"I've signed my name. Come,
S'reny."
"Frum what I've heard you tell
seems like I can't be made to sign
thnt there paper," she said, addressing
the lawyer,
"Certainly not, madam."
"Th6n I won't. There!"
She fired off (his defiance with the
same dogged spirit her ancesjoih had
tired nt tho British.
"S'reny"
"I won't, Jared. I never In all my
life had a. cent of my own. Me an'
mother s'fcvPd for father an' the hoys,
an' It's jf.een thu same thing Hence
I married you, Jared. I ain't even
Mowed tho chicken an' egg money, an'
I'm goln' to have one decent dress an'
bunnlt. I Jch won't sign, 'tliout Jured
gives me some of that money."
"Good Lord! S'reny, air you tryln' to
be ti new woman?"
"I want some of that money," she
relternted.
"Walt. S'reny, if you'll sign I'll give
you them last two rows of currant
bushes"
She broke In llercely. "You know
they won't bear for two years or more.
I want two dollars an' a half!"
As she named tho pitiful little sum
Mr, Wycoff whlBtled, nnd the' lawyer
was dumfounded.
"Two dollais an" a half! Why, S'reny,
what can you do with all that money?"
queried Jured with a beaten air.
''I can get a new dress un' bunnlt,
an go un' see the kcero; I'vu never
seen 'em, though they air Jes' ten mile
from here,"
Mr, Thornton had recovered tho use
of hts tongue, and determined to use It
In behalf of Serena.
"Mrs. Gibson, whllo you are assorting
your rights, demand more than two
dollars and a half, Your husband,'
without your help, would not have been
able (o accumulate a large fortune,
You should have half and I advise you
to make that the proviso of your sign
ing." A sparkle lighted the faded eyes, and
tho bent shoulders straightened, This
advice was acceptable. Onco she re
solved to declare her Independence,
she was prepared to go farther,
"You hear, Jared? I won't sign with
out I'm to have half, I've worked thir
ty year for you for nothln'; I want
back wages," with a dry humor, thut
made Wycoff and Thornton cough to
disguise a laugh.

Ntw Year's eve, a Watch Night par
ty was given in honor of Miss Eliza
beth Jones, of Parker street', daughter
of the mine foreman at the Leggett's
Creek. The guests were entertained by
Miss Lulu Constantino, the well known
elocutionist, who recited In a very
pleasing manner, and Miss Mame
Evans, the pianist, rendered several
selections, after which refreshments
were served. Those who were present
were: Misses Mame Evans, Blodwyn
Jnred Gibson would not have been
more sururlsed 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 man's mind.
"She's got here; tho new woman's got
to Gibson farm, an' she's my wife," he
gtoaned. "S'reny," ho ventured In as
near affectionate accents as he was
capable, "you said at first two dollars
nnd a half, ah' now you go an' nsk for
half."
"I 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' a buggy to go to
meotln'. What do you say, Jared?"
"I'll give In, but who'd thought It of
you, S'reny? You want to squander
money at your time of life, nn' Si's
schoolln' so high,"
This would-be pathetic appeal did not
soften Serena: she was tasting tlio
sweets of liberty, and would not abate
one jot of her demand.
"Firs' time I sot down sense I can re
member, 'cent nt work an' meals," she
mused, leaning back In the chair.
"S'reny, air you goln' to bo so hard on
me, when I've worked an' saved all
these yeats for SI?"
"You've worked me, Jared, but you
uln't saved me," she retorted, unmoved,
looking up at tho hard old face.
"Lord, S'renv, you air comln' It
strong! Thu Idee of a woman wantln'
to squunder all that money, nt "your
time of"
"Everybody's squandered 'cept me. I
ain't goln' to throw my money away,
Jared but I'm goln' to havo It. Si's
mother ain't never cost you a cent, for
I've arned the clothes I wear, un' I'vo
cooked for twenty men, milked cows,
an' slaved all my best days. I guess
I've arned a rest."
There was nothing for Jared to do
but yield. Serena gained the buttle;
tho new woman had come to Gibson
farm, nnd come to stay, To the sur
prise of Jared, Silas, when comlng
homo for tho summer, upheld his moth
er; a woman who could wreBt her rights
from his father was to be respected.
Ills resemblanos to his father was ex-
terjial only. The boy had a better
heart, and a beautiful elrl had taught
hint women wore men's equals; their
superiors In some particulars, .
He hud gone to college with archaic
ideas concerning women; he had loft It
with more than mere book learning.
The apprenticeship he had served In
trying to win the professor's daughter
hud made a man of him In tho best
sense of the wonl: for he hud studied
and graduated with distinction.
Ho listened without Interruption, and,
tuklng his mother's wbrk-worn hund In
his, said;
"You are right, mother, I wish you
had ucted so twenty years ago. Father,
why do you pot build u new house?
You are able to do so. This one Is
small und uncomfortable."

"Tho Flag of Truce."
Last evening, before a largo au
dience, the Keystone Literary nnd
Dramatic club produced the beautiful
drama, "The Flag of Truce," In nn ex
cellent manner. Between tho ucts sev
eral selections were rendered by tho
Patriotic Glee club, of West Scranton,
and Robert Burns Glee club, of this
place.
Long before the time for the play to

was conducted.

women? It's bad enough when an old
one turns Into one, but one of them
bran new woman! Why, sh'll run the
farm and you, too."
Silas smiled at his father's perturba
tion. "She Is one of the noblest women
I know, and I shall not bring her here.
My wife Is not to be a wageless servant.
Mother, when we ninrry In the fall,
Honoria and I will be glad to have you
with us. She Is a doctor, and we shall
live In Boston."
It was out at last. Jared nearly fell
from his chair, and gasped:
"Good Lord! She's newer than I
thought. A doctor! What Is the world
a-comln' to?"
Ills stupefaction wns so great lie did
not notice Serena and Silas had left the
gallery. Serena had wished to see the
picture of the girl her boy was to mar
ry, and vas well satisfied.
"Dear me, suz, she don't look like a
woman doctor," she declared, having
never seen one.
"She Is womanly and gentle, mother,
nnd I am sure you will like each other,"
he said as he replaced the locket.
In the meantime Jared had been
thinking. It began to occur to him
that In his way ho was fond of Seronu,
nnd no one cooked so dellclously us she
did, for though thero was a hired girl,
with the new stove, Serena did tho
most dlfllcult part or tho cooking. She
was very particular, nnd found It Im
possible to Iqt others do that which she
could do better.
Jared was troubled. Porhaus If
Serena went to Boston she would not
come back. Thero was no telling what
that "doctor" might put In her head.
"S'reny," he called. Instantly his
wife appeared. "Where mought you
wish the new house built?"
"Over In that Held, Jared, where I've
always wanted It. Jnretl, SI antl his
girl are both doctors; thoy'ro goln' to
be partners."
"I thought he mought bo a goln' to
keep house. Wall, wall, how the
world's changed. Ma, she done all her
work, an'"
His mother had died from overwork
nt 25, und remembering her early death,
he left his sentence unconcluded. Gass
ing furtively at his wife, he said;
"S'reny, you nln't goln' to Boston?"
That was tantamount to nn entreaty
from n IovIhk demonstrutivu man.
Serena was well night unemotional her
self; their sweetheart days wero over;
Indeed, It Is doubtful if they had ever
existed In tho general sense of tho
word, but there was time for an Indian
summer.
"No Jared, I've never been a gadder,
so I guess I won't begin now,"
"All right, S'reny. I guess you'd nd
mlre to hev a black silk to see SI mar
ried." "I guess so, father, but I mua' git
supper, That girl worries mo plumb to
a frazzle,"
Moderate work had transformed Ser
ena, giving her a mellowed comeliness
she had never possessed n her pinched,
pleasure-starved nlrlhood.
"Mother's glttln' spry, an 'peurs to
mo, pretty," ho muttered, shamefaced
ly, for with tho habitual New England
reserve he would not huve had her to
hear him. "She's reel chipper In her
kitchen, un she looks somo .better.

HIGHLY DECORATED EGOS.
Novel Idea of Susquehanna County
Humorist.
The scheme of practical Jokers mak
ing the rounds of grocery stores and
markets and writing dates on eggs,
giving the Impression that they wero
ancient has been recorded In several
places of late but it remained for a
Susquehanna county humorist, to ex
ecute a more artistic job on a basket
full of eggs which arrived yesterday
nt the Lackawanna railroad baggage
room In this city.
Out of the six dozen or more In the
basket, about two-thirds of the eggs
bore original Inscriptions, which were
artistically printed with lead pencils
of different colors.
On one of the eggs was drawn a
sketch of n young chick In the net of
ecrowlng and underneath It was written
