HER VULNER
ABLE SPOT a A
BY LA VON C. CHENEY.
MRS. POTTSEY stood on the tup
most round of the ladder of fame
erected by the people of Shultisville.
She had been placed in her exalted
position by the male portion of the
community, as a shining example of
what a woman should be. and used by
it as a prod to the energies cf the re
luctantly admiring and secretly en
vious female inhabitants. The con
census of opinion was expressed by
Deacon Wilson when he said:
"She's the best worker fur ten
miles 'round, and 'es got git up
enough fur two wiromin!"
From this it may readily be gath
ered that the villagers' standard of
excellence in a woman was not beanty
nor intellectual gifts, but ability to
work.
Mrs. Pottsey's capacity in this direc
tion was a never ending source of con
versation among the women, and the
fact of its being a cemmon occurrence
in the life of this remarkable piece of
femininity to buy calico for a Lress
one morning and wear the tinisled
garment on the day following, was
something of which to bra:? to l?s fa
vored communities. And the work upon
it was done entirely by hand, for tew
ing machines were not confidered a
necessary article of furniture, and
were looked upon as a luxury to be
indulged in only by the very rich, al
though they were sometimes acquired
bv the very lazv.

tort of bluish red. In this little com
munity the color was not dignified
with a name, but was simply called
"aniline dye." It was quite a fnd In the
village, and everybody who had any
claim to distinction possessed scsnie
thing dyed to this particular hue, Mrs.
Pottsey had imirled the startling
tint to several objects in the room.
The ribbon which held back the Not
tingham lace curtainsshowed their ac
quaintance with the dye pot. The che
nille cover of the small table on which
lay the family bible, took on the tame
apoplectic glow.
Mrs. Pottsey was engagedin putting
the finishing touches to the room, by
going over a stripe of dirty white In
the breadths of rag carpet, with a
paint brush and a tomato can full of
the dye. The knock at the door caused
her to pause, and upon her invitation
"Lasy joness" entered. He had' long
been endeavoring to broach the aub
ject of a life partnership to Mrs.
Pottsey, but, when her sharp eyes were
looking at him! he felt as if his soul,
with its mixed motives, mas laid bare
before her, and his courage oosed out.
She pointed now to' her handiwork
and said: "Ain't this room beau
tiful?" "Yea, Mis' Pottsey, yesi It'e d ,
ah em 'hem it's very beautiful, I
never see anything that suited me
better."
And, indeed, he had not, for he in
wardly pictured himself reposing on
the lounge with a pillow under his
head and a pipe in his mouth.
"You're a master hand at flxin' up
things, Mis' Pottsey; you know how
to make a-body comfortable, don't
you?"
"My powers of mind it tech," an
swered Mrs. Pottsey, "that when I
likes people I can make 'em comfort
able, and when I don't like 'em, I can
make 'em purty oncomfortable."
Mr. Jones did not know whether to
regard thia at encouragement or
discouragement.
"Would jouer could you r "
doubt here assailed him "lend me
your hoe?" he lamely concluded.
Walking home, he resolved as a last
resort, to trust his fate to a written
missive. He was not "handy," to use
a local phrase, with the pen. and com
position presented unknown horrors
to him, but something must be done.
When he was gone, Mrs. Pottsey
smiled grimly. "No sech truck et him
don t take me in!" she remarked.
A few days later, Mrs. Pottsey wat
preparing to can tome plum's. She was
eeated on the back porch with a bushel
basket of plums on one side and a
large jar on the other. On he lap was
a pan filled with the fruit. Deacon Slat
tery leaned against a support to the
porch and chewed a straw medita
tively. "Well, you got a job before ye ef
you're goin' to peel all them plums,"
he at last observedv

sponded; "they're wild plumt, and
they taate kind of puckery if they

Judging by the constant stream of
peeled plumt leaving her hand for the
jar, it was evident the process would
not occupy her for a great length of
time. 1

ment was the trousers of the late
Mr. Pottsey. During the lifetime of
her husband, she had purchased the
material for a pair of pantaloons one
morning, and that gentleman had
donned those same garments in the
afternoon as a fitting or, possible,
non-fitting tribute to his office as
pall bearer during the obsequies of a
neighbor.
Whether these strenuous exertions
on the part of his spouse had so wear
ied Mr. Pottsey that he was glad to
seek a place where work is unknown,
it is impossible to say. He had been
a pale, meek. little man, lacking in
the energy which the woman, beside
whom he had been obliged to spendhis
life, possessed in such superabund
anceand she was not at all backward
in showing her contempt for those
whose endowments were not equal to
her own. This, no doubt, wore on bim
to an extent that rendered him per
fectly willing to exchange the real
ities of the world he was leaving for
tne promises ol the world to come.
The inscription on hit tombstone wss
characteristic of his relation in life,
for even in death he was not allowed
to assert himself, but was laid to rest
at "Washington, beloved husband of
Zenobia Pottsey."
There was no suggestion of meek
ness about Mrs. Pottsey. She was tall
and rather thin, with rrappirg black
eyes and smooth, black hair, showing
no thread of white. Very courageous,
indeed, would be (he hair to dare un
furl a white banner in her head. Its
death would be sudden and ignomin
ious. Common report provided her with
a sharp tongue. Hut this detriment, in
the mind of her male acquaintances,
was more than balanced by the mate
rial advantages she could confer on a
pu.-.-ible sncreiw.r to the late Mr.
Pottsey. Naturally, a woman who split
her own wood, milked her own cow.
and did other things conimcnly sup
posed to be man's work, had many ad
mirers. As Lemuel Jonet called "Lajy
Jonet" by hit friends, in playful allu
aion to hit well-known dislike tin
manual labor expressed It to a select
coterie of hit eroniet: "You would
not have to do a thing but jest set down
and take it easy; .he'd do the hust
ling. A woman that'll climb a ladder
and paint her own house is the woman
for me."
When Mr. Jones one afternoon In

processes by knocking at the door she
was rnp-igsd in putting the finishing
tcmchvs to a "wtor scheme" In fcer best

Deacon Slattery rubbed hit chin
thoughtfully and decided to take an
other tack. He was wise, even beyond
his years, which were many, to he
said, after gazing at her thoughtfully
for a few momenta:
"Yon are a powerful good look in'
woman, Zenobia."
"Oh, pshaw, now, deacon, sech an
old woman at me!" but he noticed a
little flush stealing over her tallow
cheek.
Well latiafied with his progress, he
went on.
"I declar', on my honor, when yon
come walkin' in church Sunday all
rigged out, I thought you wat the
handsomeet woman there!" oh
shameless deacon! "and I never tee
a woman 'at could turn out work like
you kin. At I says to Jim Walton
t'other day, tet I, 'I don fknow where
you can p'int out a woman as young

"Well, now, I kinder thought maybe
you wat tired livin' alone, too,' taid
the deacon.
"Seein' it't yon thtt atka ma, maybe
